Check out this amazing project so many of us at Performant Software have been working on for the past couple of years. We can't wait for the launch and for everyone to see it!

I love Silksong to death but also am surprised I haven't seen this screenshot being used more widely. I see you Team Cherry, I see you.

SILKSONG SPOILERS ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I'm still processing it all but god damn there's a whole paper to be written about Silksong and HK as a meditation on parenthood and what it means to create life and the selfishness of imposing legacy on our children in ways that deny their personhood.

If anyone sees a tiktok or something being like ha ha this loser on my flight just spent an hour and a half dying to this early game Silksong enemy, that was me, I'll own it. 😇🕷

It's been so many years of the word "silksong" being a constant meme that the actual semantics of the name never really sunk in before playing it. The role of music and sound in this game is absolutely S-tier. I'm utterly blown away.

Okay but why does Bilewater's music of all places slap so hard? 😂☠️

The sound design of Silksong alone should win every award ever. (Yes every award, not just the one for sound design, that's how good it is.) 🔔🔔

I'm so happy and emotional and moved by the success of Mamdani's campaign, but definitely one of my biggest takeaways from this whole thing has been becoming a huge fan of Brad Lander.

Fuck the @nytimes and all journalism that takes this passive "people are saying" approach to the truth. Democrats condemned the attack as unconstitutional BECAUSE IT IS. It's your job to say that. It's your job to contextualize and fact-check, not just quote both sides and shrug.

I'm starting to see posts like "but if you use LLMs intelligently they can be a great tool in learning, it's making knowledge accessible, you just have to use it right!" and like okay but then sort of by definition you are not doing anything you couldn't do without the LLM.

One way in which capitalism and cisheteropatriarchy are intertwined is in the pressure to extract continuing profit via "next gen" spinoffs, incentivizing compulsory heterosexuality in media. As such, we can see mpreg as an important tool in disentangling the patriarchocapitalist complex. In this es

THEY’RE CLIMBING THE POLES IN TOKYO GO BIRDS🦅🦅🦅

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Kendrick really proving that ridicule is praxis

"What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Ngl, this is the hater bowl. This is the greatest super bowl for haters ever.

Super Bowl blowouts usually suck but this one is a work of art, just a complete middle finger to everything that’s happening

I was playing a game with myself to see whether any commercial would legitimately make me laugh and this was the first one that did. 😅

No kidding, this is one of my oldest nightmares. I refused to watch Sesame Street for a month when I was three after an ep where the Count's mustache started flying around onto everyone's face. I thought it was gonna come out of the screen and get me. I feel personally targeted by these commercials.

An American flag composed only of Black people kinda sick

I don't want to sound..... I dunno, insufficiently negative? But I was afraid this whole super bowl would have the vibe of jingoism and white supremacy and general celebration of the new regime but it hasn't? So far? I've found all the pregame and halftime performances really powerful.

Insofar as we understand "left," as a grand historical tradition, to mean a pro-labor political movement, and we understand "liberal" to mean value pluralism and constitutional democracy, they need each other and obviously always have.

Taking a stand in these divided times and saying that I love the Super Bowl scorebug. It's charmingly old-fashioned and it presents the info legibly and simply. Y'all just don't appreciate the classic aesthetic.

I give Alex Cazellnu a lot of shit for being a mouthpiece of the patriarchy, and rightly so, but I'm feeling a renewed appreciation of the fact that at least he is a bureaucrat who made personal sacrifices to attempt to stand on the side of democracy.

Once power stops flowing from the Constitution, and starts flowing from the executive, we live under authoritarian rule. It’s that simple. Are we going to acquiesce to it?

A vote for President is not a constitutional amendment.

What the actual fuck, this is an absolutely tragic and disgraceful decision. Really really hard to continue to give a shit about this game when every new decision WotC/Hasbro makes seems specifically designed to tell me they don't give a shit about me. 🤷

THIS, so much this.

The thing I'm most proud of is releasing Neighbors: A Story About Food & Love into the world. I truly can't believe I'm taking on fiction and enjoying the grueling-as-hell process of creating characters and a whole world for them to live in neighbors.love

2024 was a historically difficult year for transgender people, but it was not without its victories. I list over 60 victories for transgender people this year. There is a case for hope, and the fight for transgender rights is not without wins. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Going live now at www.twitch.tv/ajlvi! Gonna play a game of Threes first, then update Sporcle quizzes, then Balatro until dinnertime. Come hang out / kibitz / guess Sporcle answers as appropriate!

Happy New Year from Chicago! May we fight for a brighter, more beautiful future 🥂

Happy 2025, let's make this the year we excise cowardly crap like this from the Democratic party and refuse to give a single fucking inch on the fight to protect and lift up and fight for every single trans person. We are not finding "common ground" on transphobia, screw that.

If you start watching PROMARE at exactly 10:21:02pm tonight, Lio and Galo will kiss at midnight. 🔥🔥🔥 (And stop kissing 26 seconds after midnight, god damn what a good movie, everyone go watch PROMARE please.)

These two #全日本フィギュア

God I'm just so happy and proud, obviously I wish more than three of these women could go to Worlds but I'm so so happy for Wakaba. Her FS made me cry, just the absolute grace and power. And that was IMO the best performance Kaori has done of this FS, totally committed and oozing with charisma. 💕🔥

Please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I feel deeply seen.

Good evening! A couple of weeks ago on here I made a comment that sparked a conversation about political philosophy and the five colors of mana from Magic: the Gathering Here's an essay in The Evening Constitutional expanding on that topic at length! eveningconstitutional.net/liberalism-i...

An excellent thread

I honestly cannot endorse Lower Decks strongly enough. It is essential. It is everything Star Trek has been and should be and could be. And it's just really fucking funny. What an amazing, important, joyous show.

This, I completely agree, *and also* you should pursue joy because you're here and there are beautiful and joyous things in the world despite everything, and the whole world is richer the more connections are formed and art is created and reality is experienced deeply. Joy is an aspect of the fight.

I think I watched a whole Hugh Grant movie about this once

Literally crying at Lower Decks 5.9, that was perfect in every way except for only being 25m long. 😭🌈

No joke this might have been the trailer I felt the most hype for, I hope it's actually awesome. 😂
