There's nothing quite like being woken up by the refreshing sounds of giant metal slabs being dropped on metal without a care in the world.

Imagine seeing this image four years ago. You would've wondered what tragedy befell our country where a scene like this could possibly happen.

I'm saving this so I can rewatch it every time I need some schadenfreude. There's even a literal "I didn't think the leopards would eat my face" lady. youtu.be/jWJVyhTv0j8

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! ☘ To celebrate I'm gonna damage my friendship with @potatomcwhiskey.bsky.social as we speedrun race Get To Work. Afterwards I'll be patrolling the streets with @mysticlight.bsky.social and @rtgame.bsky.social as na nGardaí. 🔴 LIVE NOW: twitch.tv/mscupcakes

I NEED GOOD, THOUGHTFUL LEADERS TO GET WAY BETTER AT USING THE INTERNET LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO

I've seen a few "actually, a lot of dems are really good at the internet, they just aren't getting attention" please give me non-AOC, non-Bernie examples so that I can educate myself. I will say though, being good at the internet MEANS GETTING ATTENTION.

My dear fellow Europeans. We're investing almost a trillion Euros in defence. Germany alone is pumping half a trillion into defence and infrastructure. We are standing up, and soon we will walk on our own feet. So don't worry about the American circus as much. It may soon be irrelevant to us.

Finally, MY turn to do one of those fancy profile update videos! Waaaaay back in high school, I started modding #Civ5, and honestly, that's what started me down this path of working in game dev. So today, I am beyond thrilled to be able to say that I've just joined Firaxis as a Technical Artist!

🕰️ 5ish hours to go. The ice is looking… wet. Has it accepted its fate? Will Keef escape?! Either way, Two Point Museum Explorer Edition launches in less than FIVE HOURS! 🧊 Watch the chaos unfold: bit.ly/4jxV1Uq #TwoPointMuseum #CurateSomeChaos

Woke up before 9AM which means today absolutely fuckin rips i'm walking on sunshine baby I'll be live at 12! the early gamer gets the worm or something

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning. That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

It's great to see you at The Grand Danyon thank you arealflame for this monstrousity

If you don't want a nuclear arms race in Europe and the proliferation of nuclear weapons to spread, then it is essential that we give our two European nuclear powers Britain and France the authority and responsibility to cover Europe under their nuclear umbrella.

I honestly enjoy making these UI edits for fun? It's sorta therapeutic. Tables aren't the prettiest thing. But they're still a good way to display a large amount of numeric info in a compact manner.

After an appeal from my publisher, Balatro has been reclassified by PEGI from 18+ to 12+ This is a good step from PEGI - bringing nuance to their ratings criteria that used to be 18+ or nothing. I hope this change will allow developers to create without being unfairly punished

Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.

This is informative. Thanks

Happy 1st birthday, Potato!

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Uh I guess i won Civ 7 Twitch Rivals as the best Egyptian Harriet Tubman to ever do it (thank you @rtgame.bsky.social & @potatomcwhiskey.bsky.social & @mscupcakes.net & @rythian.yogscast.com for letting it happen lmao) This means I have a 100% undefeated pro Civ 7 tournament win

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

Ya girl is taking part in Twitch Rivals today! I'll be going to war with @rythian.yogscast.com @ravs.bsky.social @rtgame.bsky.social and @potatomcwhiskey.bsky.social in Civ 7 in 30mins, let's GOOO!!!

We should be exceptionally grateful that Finland and Sweden joined Nato. They, together with the French, are pretty much the only 3 in Europe who still have the experience of running a large military force independent of the Americans. And that is what we need now more than anything.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

This is really neat! Whenever folks are against coloured icons, saying it doesn't look as good, or looks unprofessional, I know they have made that decision in a design meeting. Usually while looking at a single presentation slide They haven't used it, and they haven't sat behind a user doing work

When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

A dictatorship hosting another dictatorship to negotiate with an aspiring dictatorship about the future of a democracy that’s not represented.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Honestly just have never been this angry before, like a calm whole body rage. I really don't care about being radical, I care about actually making sure we have a functioning and secure liberal democracy

I'm playing Civ7 on Twitch today. twitch.tv/knowingbetteryt

DO NOT SUFFER THIS MAN ANY MORE

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

(explaining bugs bunny to a girl) ok the thing you gotta know about this guy is hes basically never serious. He is always clowning on others

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

6/10 games can be good games. 7/10 games can be good games. 8/10 games can be great games. 9/10 games can be amazing games. Games that are not a 10/10 are still very much worth your time I promise. Sometimes you can find a hidden gem this way & not even know it. Scores are subjective too. 👌🏻
