This is why I pay for the World Wide Web. Because it delivers ART!

Them: You can build your character any way you like! You can be fighty, or sneaky, or talky; you can be a tanky fighter or a glass cannon mage... Me: So the game is balanced for all those builds? They're all viable? Them: Fuck no. What are you, stupid?

late to the party, but this face angle is something i've ALWAYS loved and practiced endlessly

All chess is 4D chess that's why they have that time clock thingy.

How 'bout that fuckin snow huh?

When the ALA recognizes one's work, that's pretty dang cool. "The games recognized as 2026 Platinum Play Classics are Clue, Jenga, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Apocalypse World, Call of Cthulhu, Mario Kart 8, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater." #ApocalypseWorld #AW3rd #PBTA www.ala.org/news/2025/11...

The hoops I had to jump through to get a copy of I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus... I ended up paying wild shipping just so I could read @planetx.bsky.social's story but, man, comics distribution just plain sucks ass.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

my most boomer gamer take is all mmorpg dungeons should look like this

Mac annoyance of the day: When you scroll with the mouse wheel slowly, the page barely moves. Above a threshold, it scrolls at a normal speed, and then immensely fast. The threshold between "uselessly small amount" and "normal scrolling" is set way too high.

Happy World Linguistics Day from Waterloo, Canada!

"Created a useful thing" ≠ "Has good opinions about unrelated thing". In fact, "created useful thing" doesn't even guarantee "has good opinions about the thing".

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result. www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

😈 Maleficent, the evil queen, had her goblins searching for Sleeping Beauty for 16 years. 🛑 BUT…. they were looking for a baby the whole time. Acceptance criteria fail! 🧠 This is why it’s so important for villains to leverage AGILE practices. Don’t let this become your team. My new ecourse will

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Some helpful advice for all you software devs: - You cannot solve social problems with code - You cannot improve a system until you understand why it works the way it does - You cannot produce tools for someone else without understanding how they work and what they're trying to accomplish

missed this. dems should do it regardless of the motivations. plurality single-winner primaries are dumb www.axios.com/2025/11/24/d...

I am really enjoying Stars in Her Eyes so far and this is an example of the kind of dialogue that makes it snap. The POV character has discovered romance and is the bookshop that introduced her to it, the romantic interest is explaining affordable ways of getting more to read...

Me as every sports coach, ever.

Okay, but, what if I'm a queer girl and I have a girlfriend? Does that make me straight?

The bit where I'm turning into my mom, who would put her keys down and then immediately search the house for her keys. Nobody in her family had dementia or anything; she just had the absolute worst memory for details, and it did not improve with age.

Awful cover of Hallelujah on this canned holiday mix and holy crap, someone needs to tell the Christians what this song is about.

Me: "Just rewrote the entire desktop chromium UI layout." Them: "So you changed everything?" Me: "No, I changed *nothing* and that made it infinitely harder."

Athens, Rome, Paris, and London each in their heydays would all like to have a word with you about how this man is exactly right

Another YouTuber I follow just moved to Canada. Chat, is it bad when your country's creatives start fleeing like rats from a sinking ship?

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back

Re: last boost: The recent panic reminded me to turn off a lot of the smart features in Google apps *because I don't like them*, not because I'm worried about them training Gemini with my chat messages.

if you are That Worried, pay them; Google Workspace has very explicit data guarantees. but it would be very stupid of them to lie about this for free Gmail users too (below is for Google Workspace, which AFAIK is paid+custom domain use)

no, they didn't. no, they aren't.

Big Tech cos ranked by how much I personally trust their approaches to privacy: 1. Apple 2. Google ….I feel there's a bit of a gap here, frankly, but it's mostly vibes 3. Microsoft another gap, less vibesy 4. Amazon HUGE gap, and not really vibes-based at all 5. Facebook/Meta

this is true and dishwashers aren’t the only green thing that’s better! see also: heat pumps

instead of asking chatgpt or claude simply ask ur autistic friend today we consume a lot less water for inference and raining most of us are pretty dehydrated and eat much less than we should

An adorable Wuk Lamat I got from @navigatorprime.neocities.org For all her flaws I still love this doofy taco cat

Roose demonstrating that pulling a Chotiner isn't actually that hard. These people wanna hang themselves so badly they'll grab the rope out of your hands.

GREAT day to be a comic nerd who sends a lot of mail 💘

Next week, DC's Holiday special I SAW MA HUNKEL KISSING SANTA CLAUS hits stores with a 🌟new🌟Galaxy story written by me, with gorgeous art by @hannahtempler.com and @lgions.bsky.social, fantastic lettering by Travis Lanham, a new villian for Galaxy and 29(!) hero and villain cameos!

Adjusting to new glasses is the absolute worst.

Hey, @dresdencodak.com, looks like they found one of your boys

It's funny to watch non-Americans freaking out about how expensive specialist private health care is. Like, yeah, that's what it costs. Why do you think USians are all in massive medical debt and/or panicked about their insurance coverage?

tfw there's new Heartstrings to read but I have to wait until I am *not* at work... just in case

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Honestly, Hating the Computer is a critical motivator in developing better software. I do not trust anyone who does not - at least a little bit - Hate the Computer.

Big JavaScript doesn't want you to know this One Weird Trick™

Just read "relationship" as "retaliationship" and yeah - I've definitely been in one of those before.
