Classic Goosebumps understood the assignment. These bright colors pop right out at you, yet they don't detract from the eerie imagery. Genius illustration and design imo

For #PhallusThursday one of the oldest depictions of a phallus, carved out of very fine-grained siltstone some 30,000 years ago. According to the museum's label "apart from its purely symbolic meaning different uses are conceivable." 🤔 On display at Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren. 📷 me

Still can't quite wrap my head around this. Absolutely bonkers. Imagine if bombs with wings were casually buzzing over Washington, D.C., or London, or Paris, or Berlin daily. DAILY. Practically unopposed. On their way to destroy vital infrastructure. "War never changes" my ass, lol.

Break them

this is what it must have felt like for people who saw those 50 lost waymos

Tired of liberals salivating while saying "No you don't understand I'm punching UP" while you can see the slur thought bubble above their head looking at you.

I'm sorry but are we just gonna blaze past the man who is clearly an AI mash-up of Fabio and one of the Lone Gunmen

some political consultant was paid huge sums of money to dig up damning opposition research and this is what they came up with lol

The thing I love best about this account is that it's a perfect reminder that behind the agencies and services paid for by our tax dollars are *real people.* Our friends and neighbors and their people, too. Looking out for us and doing the jobs that keep our cities & towns liveable. 💚

No matter what you try and teach a Hollywood executive, it will always come away with the most facile and least useful interpretation mortally possible. It’s embarrassing. There are literal children who could have a more nuanced take than “film give money when Internet give spooky.”

Awww, yeah. My fave new-on-the-scene science communicator, Jackdaw, has a FANTASTIC new vid about the many species of human that have existed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX8r...

This would be the best remake/retelling ever I think

Very interesting thread about the relationship between pigeons and ancient humans!

The Thought Emporium recently posted a video about the making of ancient tools, and how it was possible to carve and shape stone into delicate shapes without the use of modern power tools: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYhB...

Having a family member with parkinsons is a great way to develop a deep hatred for the fact that every government system and public utility now demands the use of smartphones for basic amenities

Are you fucking kidding me? I want to laugh, but I know these fuckers are banking on AI seizing all the writing jobs so real writers are desperate enough to work for peanuts and let an AI platform steal the credit. It’s just dark and perverse. Luckily I work for people who still *value* writers.

Another "not technically a bug, but it was really annoying, even to me, so I had to fix it" issue that I finally dealt with today was accidentally punching non-hostile NPCs just because they were nearby. 1/

There's a technology that the film industry implemented a while back that greatly increased the efficiency of production. It's called unions.

they spent so much time on the hot scientist's body and swimsuit in this game, in ways that are not weird or gross (like most games), but simply horny (like old bond)

I don’t know anything about James Bond, have only ever seen Dr. No, but I don’t know how to best express the emotion I felt when I say chuds post about how the new Bond game made all the women deliberately ugly to be woke and then saw pics of the woman character they were talking about

They used “chemical munitions on peaceful protestors” outside the courthouse DURING THIS HEARING www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The game is HORNY but in extremely fun and cheery ways, it rules. Bond sleeps with like 3 different women in the game and all of them are very much women who also wanted to jump his bones. Everyone has a great time, enjoys themselves and shit moves on. It is weirdly refreshing to see Normal Horny

A painting of a nightmare I had recently.

jesus christ NO! NO!!! FUCK

You're scrolling Reels and see a beautiful woman revealing the true ingredients in processed food. Into a beaker she pours: corn. The beaker fills, then overflows. She pours on. The corn covers the table, spills onto the floor. She can't control the corn now. An avalanche of corn floods the studio

I think every media person who has spent the last 3-4 years warning everyone that AI is a scam should, when the bubble bursts, get one billion dollars each to run our normal businesses for the next 1000 years. seems fair.

Literally there are conversion therapy manuals that start with isolating your child from all potential sources of safeguarding and supportive information and cutting them off from unmonitored internet access so they can find the number for ChildLine while you're not watching is right up there.

The problem is that we don't see these things the far right says as the horrifying violent attacks that they are, because violence against queer people is still normal in the minds of society, but retribution for this violence *does* register as violence to the polite masses.

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

pretty interesting scoop. i'll be reposting the info in a thread here for archival's sake

Hey as someone who really likes demos and especially amplifying indie developers and small projects for Next Fest: if you use AI I will not talk about your work, not recommend it to people or, at best, tell people to avoid your work.

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

Is there a word to describe the feeling when faced with projects made by friends & peers - that you were very much excited about - but now stand as monuments to their years of labour, from which some soulless ghouls extort millions of $$$ while casually discarding said peers' entire livelihoods?

Hey, are you employed and upset about what's happening to your game dev friends but your company doesn't have any openings? GO BUY AN INDIE GAME FROM YOUR WISHLIST. That's the only way to save the industry.

This isn't just about Laverne, this is a story of trans people being purged from all facets of employment. The functional unemployment rate for trans people is roughly 30% or higher. Trump has made it convenient for companies to not hire trans people at all. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

If you don’t know anyone who is hopelessly addicted to this shit, you will.

Duskers is getting a sequel! 10 years later 😅 The Steam post has more info, including the new teaser trailer - featuring the voice of Deonte (our producer). You can even wishlist it on Steam if you're into that sorta thing 😉 steamcommunity.com/games/254320...

Imagine being a kid and learning both your parents were arrested by ICE. You’ll have to pay rent and survive on your own. I shadowed four siblings—US citizens near Mar-a-Lago—as they try to do that. I'll be thinking about their story for a long time 1/x www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I got a copy of this one at an ALA conference a few years ago and it's fantastic, strongly recommend it!

Yet more evidence that Microsoft’s intrusion into the videogame industry has been a net loss for the medium. Consume, carve, kill. That’s all this malignant company does.

psa for fellow headshop psychonauts.

I grew up in a time without social media, in a town where basically the only thing to do was smoke weed and set shit on fire. If they think this is going to make kids “more productive” then they have never met a teenager
