RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

I'm not even joking when I say that, as a former writing teacher, I think even the act of bullshitting through a 10-page paper on a book you only skimmed is also incredibly valuable learning.

From a press kit CD-ROM for the SpaceWorld 2000 Nintendo expo: a very hi-res and sharp image of the blue and orange (aqua and spice?) Game Boy Advances unveiled at the show. The orange one is so pretty <3

I have been saying this for twenty years: To be good at an art-form you must also understand what exists beyond that art-form or you are doomed to do what has already been done but worse for better only happens when you bring yourself and what you see uniquely to the work.

early on in my transition before there were any noticable changes from HRT, i explained to one of my gamer friends that being on estrogen felt like getting the right drivers installed on a gaming PC. it actually made him understand super well and he said it was a good metaphor

apropos of nothing, here's an old blog post i did about piracy and when/whether it's ok and things like that when the people who make the games aren't even getting to keep their jobs, far less profit from a game's success, pirate those suckaz tbh www.joewintergreen.com/one-time-a-g...

awawaa is a peak stim. really easy and fun to type. simple. endlessly variable. can go on for as long or as little as you want. fun to say verbally too, can be as threatening or as adorable or as flustered as you want. it's awesome. awawawa

GO! MY LABUBU MISSILE! KILL!

Happy 4th of July to Chibodee Crockett and his multicultural pit crew only. It takes a REAL AMERICAN to pilot a kindergartner's What I Want To Be When I Grow Up? homework (a mecha quarterback cowboy boxer surfer astronaut)

Final update (hopefully) We got in here limping, a litany of bullshit happened including our delivery driver getting arrested and my car tire exploding. All we need now is simple food and house essentials (pans, pots, trashcan, etc.) Any bit helps, we’re at the last hurdle! gofund.me/3fdae3623

Know that libraries count things. How many people have cards, how many times a book or DVD or CD is checked out, etc. And then we take those numbers to our internal staff and say "look, people want this" to justify purchases, and then to local govts to say "look, we need to stay open".

New from 404 Media: we've got leaks from Amazon, GitHub, Adobe, Citi, and more. The big takeaway is that companies in all industries are suddenly throttling their employees' AI use because AI is actually too expensive. Cutting off access to some models entirely www.404media.co/companies-ar...

I keep seeing people thinking this is a bluesky problem. If you're seeing this it thinks you're in a state or country with age verification laws. This is what every social media site will do if KOSA and the KIDS Act succeeds. Running to another socmed won't fix it, we have to fight the source.

...and this right here is precisely what trans folks have been saying: these sports bans *have never been about sports* – they're a backdoor way to stripping trans rights more generally... bsky.app/profile/elie...

Reminder that memory manufacturers (including Samsung, Hynix, and Micron) were found to be an actual dictionary definition "cartel" back in the 2000s and were accused of illegal price fixing again in the late 2010s. They have been trying to screw you for literal decades.

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

Tacking this on for people who say “the partnership won’t have that much power, you’re fearmongering” bsky.app/profile/prin...

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

Spring roll machine.

Let's help Bagel!

If I'd put em on a tierlist, it'd look something like this

Enjoy the Rave cover of AFTER REVIEW PARAGUAY 🇵🇾 NUMBER 10 COVERED HUS MOUTH DECISION IS RED CARD www.instagram.com/reel/DZ7LYZ8...

“‘Andy, I am sorry, but this is for your own good.’ Woody then summoned a pipe bomb and started it up to destroy the entirety of Andy's house.”

I think we gotta bring this one back after this week

Mina the Hollower's the kinda game where you find a little boy in a cave eating a sandwich and when you walk up to him he's like "How dare you watch me eat without offering me chips?!?!" and it reveals his name to be The Duke of Ham and it starts a crazy bossfight that takes 37 attempts to beat

until the show comes back someday with an actual casting, the role of doctor who has been assigned to philomena cunk the regeneration amnesia has her a little bit confused, but she's gonna travel time and space asking the important questions

ENCYCLOPEDIA - Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer called Contact Mike. YOU - Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother? ENCYCLOPEDIA - Nope.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

i think ppl still think this is about porn and don't realize they're about to just not be able to use the internet at all anymore, maybe not even messenger services lol. It'll all have to be your full legal name everywhere and the govt will make sure you're not saying anything mean about them :)

my partner asked me to get her an audiobook of that hail mary thing. CAN DO!

Darth Baul

I think the problem is that cis people don't get how deranged transphobes are because all of their actual positions get spoken about entirely in euphemism by a political and journalistic class who share their goals but launder it through vaguespeak like "concerns" that never repeat the actual bile

No clue what these stats mean, but apparently I'm very slow moving kojira.github.io/bluesky-lice...

DO YOU WANT A TULPA THIS IS HOW YOU GET A TULPA

“‘Johnny Bravo: DECEASED’. I was quite blown away when I read that. Questions bubbled in my head, how did Johnny Bravo die?”

please god @anthonylegua1.bsky.social upload this HERE so I can share it properly, I don't think I've seen a SNEAKERS homage in my life...

im not sure if ill ever finish this, so you can have it in it current state

Been catching out the demoscene prods from the last Revision demoscene in April, and have been wowed by 'Second Nature' (DESIRE/The Twitch Elite and Hoffman). This is an A500 OCS single-disk prod, created for the humblest 1MB 7mhz Amigas, always the most impressive to me.

i really love how inscrutable the fucking Enter the Matrix launcher is...what is any of this shit. "allow gamma". "force object lod". force it to what. on? off? min? max? what is meant by w-buffer. what the fuck is Classical FPS

This is an appalling case of transmisogynistic police violence that is clearly being instrumentalized to render two vulnerable trans women homeless, especially considering they weren't even charged. Please help out if you're able.

i love this fucking photoshop so much. the ultimate "yeah, sure, who gives a shit" energy here. this product photo was made ten minutes before the guy left the company forever.
