Human consciousness required four billion years of evolutionary history. Tech Bros: "We can replicate that easily. We just need a few more data centers." www.npr.org/2026/02/19/n...

I don't need to watch the State of the Union address. It isn't being presented for me, or any other citizen of the United States. It is an exhibition for the FARP and their ranking membership. It is a moment for those who oppose the FARP, and can personally attend, to protest.

Feels important to this pixelsmith and artist. Gonna go read it now.

Ai will keep lawyers in business until the heat death of the universe.

If your game has limited support for controller mode, your game has limited support from me. Controller mode is accessibility mode. Disabled people access your game by and large either by use of a controller, or by use of an adaptive controller that uses the same code. Do better from the start.

Alysa Liu is breaking the conservative ecosystem. The far-right rage accounts are trying to get people to hate her for her dance, her body, her implicit (and sometimes explicit) queerness, her "wokeness." And yet so many people who have been receptive to that are rejecting it, saying they love her.

IBM 3275/3277 Type A Keyboard, Micro Switch SW hall-effect based! A candidate for what may also be IBM Keyboard A/Model A. Type A (1971) was quickly supplanted by the very similar looking Model B-based (beam spring) Type B (~1973). Below is how to tell them apart. sharktastica.co.uk/topics/keybo...

I like this "hold up a yes/no sign to answer a yes/no question" thing. This should be a mandatory segment in all candidate debates/townhalls/etc. Sure would spare us a lot of performative politicking.

That Rand Paul is this afraid of an AOC Presidency would be delicious... if his statement wasn't so precariously ignorant. Jfc

Hello former gifted kids. You didn't "peak" in high school, you discovered what you could accomplish when your basic needs were met and you were allowed to pursue your interests. We could build that into society, if we wanted to.

I want to see all the things. 😐🐙🦑🐟🐠🐡🦈

Okay, so obviously there should be dogs in all the events, but ALSO that tiktok with the UPS guy made me think that maybe some competitors could also be chased by turkeys. Like, maybe in the qualifiers you get chased by nice dogs but in the finals it's TURKEYS.

Somewhere, in the vast depths of the abyss, there's a worm that lives on the corpse of a dead blue whale, consuming the oil that leaches from its bones. It's name is Osedax mucofloris, the bone-eating zombie snot flower worm. It will never see this video. Envy it.

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive. Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list. Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

I’m two credits short to get to book 8 but I’ll leave them to someone who needs them more! Everyone read Dungeon Crawler Carl :))

From my old blog. This was one of the digital spaces I had to abandon back then. It's ten years later and the caustic relatives we escaped still seek us out, and try to contact us through work emails, and other relatives. Dwelling on this a little today. numenarch.blogspot.com/2015/05/esca...

Some cool sketches of enemy designs from original game design docs for Super Castlevania IV for the SNES. These were published in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection bonus book.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This month, my Lenovo #ThinkPad X1 Nano G1 turns five years old. It's the longest-serving laptop I've had. While it is slowly showing its age as my demands increase, this machine has seen me through some amazing times. I wonder what will be able to live up to it? #ThinkPadThursday

BREAKING: Platform Ventures, the development company that owns a south Kansas City warehouse that federal agents toured last month to consider for an immigrant detention center, announced today that it is not moving forward with the sale.

The Trump administration has announced it is targeting major LGBTQ+ healthcare centers, threatening to shut them down unless they stop providing trans youth care. It appears to violate, at least in spirit, a court order in Oregon stopping them from doing this. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Meet the Hell Cats: Four women veterans, all Democrats, running for Congress. They hope their backgrounds in the military and national security will be exactly what their party needs in their swing seat races.

Ali slept overnight on his friend’s grave after a funeral marked by singing and dancing, gestures so dangerous in Iran they can lead to arrest. As graves fill with victims of the IRGC crackdown, funerals are shedding quiet submission and erupting into song, movement, and noise.

“Don’t you ever accuse me of a crime,” Bondi fired back. Let's take what she said out of the context of the article for a moment. For sure, read the article, and the transcript (I'm on the hunt), but think about what she saying here. 🧵 thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

There is a theme. Not just from Bondi or Bovino, either. Trump's associates often have assumed they would be lauded as heroes for their actions.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

@nicolecarpenter.bsky.social: @meredithgran.com's storytelling (deft, funny, and honest) lays bare that truth in a way that's both stunning and excruciating; it's one of the most affecting games I've played in some time. www.mothership.blog/perfect-tide...

Visual asset I made for a recent game jam. This is Lumen the escaped laboratory slime, and his trusty headlamp. It was a much needed distraction I'm glad for. Helping young people make games feels like an open revolt against the suffocating banality of the current political climate.

Recent court documents claim TikTok knew their Live feature was being used to exploit and harm children, but did nothing because the money was good. Now they're part of Trump's Surveillance State ... Welp... off to write totally fictional dystopian scifi. commerce.utah.gov/2025/02/21/u...

Yep. Treating AI like it has the capacity for this facet of human identity is definitely misleading, and designed to mislead people.

This is the most important journalism I've been following since the conflict began.

During the Pandemic friends and I circle the wagons; sync schedules, share stewardship, create better lines of communication. Temporary arrangement until things stabilize. Anyone know when that'll be? 😐
