The amigurumi so topically relevant I made it twice!

This is more than people get for rape and murder

Spending my morning writing a statement for press inquiries about all this when all I want to do is say "consumers haven't had purchasing power in about ten years now because we gave all of our money to like ten weird guys, what did you all expect"

Cat trap up for auction! I love this center panel and am really happy with how it turned out. www.32auctions.com/organization...

really cool going from the 2010 World Cup, where Ghana’s little run seemed like a magical anomaly, to a bunch of African teams contending across the bracket and participating in the global pastime of causing fear and misery in England.

The Society of St. Pius X, which opposes modernizing reforms in the Catholic Church, went ahead with the five-hour ceremony at its seminary in Econe, Switzerland, despite a last-ditch appeal by Pope Leo XIV to call it off. https://to.pbs.org/4p1xT3E

Just to be clear: My taxes are paying for hundreds of NYPD officers to protect...Taylor Swift's wedding? REALLY?!

Preemptive post:

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

I welcome a fact check, but Spain, a nation of 50 million people, accomplished the bulk of this transition in about 6 years I believe. And that’s *without* the great new batteries.

The songbird dwelling in far-northern boreal regions, last documented in Alaska eight years ago, is a victim of climate change and deserves new protection, a listing petition says. (Via Alaska Beacon)

TIL there are parents delusional enough that they think their kid is likely to get a sports scholarship. You'd be better off having them specialize in a weird musical instrument like the oboe or kettle drums

Free link to the online version of Morpho. Gives artist tutorials and directions on drawing fat and skin folds for fat bodies. Now you don't have an excuse to not draw fat bodies. #fatisfine #fatart #plussizeart www.scribd.com/document/616...

If buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft

Do you have any Quiet Year maps that you've either recorded or clung onto? Would you be willing to potentially have your map be included as part of a book called Speculative Game Design by Mary Flanigan and Laurel Carney, to be released by MIT Press? If yes, reply with a picture of that map!

the owner of the Arabic bakery at my house told me that a lot of it is private equity buying up the distributors. www.gobuzzaar.com/blog/why-pri...

similarly, not as severe as antipsychotics but stimulants also dehydrate you/cause you to overheat quicker so if you’re on any kind of ADHD meds keep that in mind as well

Update to this story: The union says it signed a contract and there are protections against AI. I’ve asked about details; more to come!

This is nuts 🥜 A man and woman wearing masks have climbed the spire of the Empire State Building and attached a banner to it. It apparently reads "when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace".

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

Researchers discovered that people found AI impersonators to be more authentic, coherent, and relevant than the real politicians, raising alarm bells around the potential for public deception.

Sony is taking this away from us

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

the use of “performative” as an insult here is why these people are losing their primaries. yes, voters want you to perform their anger and disgust! they want representatives to represent their symbolic interests! the idea that good representation is necessarily quiet and unobtrusive is wrong!

We white settlers simply don't have any more right to be here than anyone else. That's the bottom line. That's what "no one is illegal on stolen land" really means. We simply do not have any moral right to exclude other people from a country built by force and genocide.

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

Wait, do people not understand this!! This shit means EVERYBODY.

PlayStation delisting and removing hundreds of digital movie purchases from accounts just days before announcing an all-digital future is a level of audacity that will be hard to top.

awesome news for the makers of the $900 console to be making in the era of nobody being able to afford any sort of storage thanks to AI sorry no discs that cost pennies to press just download everything onto the storage you can't buy anywhere also games are like 120gb now

need some good news? here it is: not only is there a Ghost Dog tabletop roleplaying game based on the film by Jim Jarmusch starring Forest Whitaker, it's fully compatible with the Sailor Moon tabletop roleplaying game 1900hotdog.com/2026/07/nerd...

Xbox *never* recovered their market base after pulling this during the Xbox One era. Sony literally made a commercial making fun of Xbox for that. And now thanks to shareholders before players, we’re making the dumbest decision. If this happens PS5 is my last Sony console.

Sony is killing all physical PlayStation game discs. New games released after January 2028 will be digital-only www.theverge.com/games/960160...

Every baby is precious. Every life is precious. That’s why we need to ban abortion. But also this doesn’t apply to low wage foreigners. Or anyone else I don’t like. Basically when i say all life is precious I mean mine

Currently going mad viral on TikTok

Your annual reminder: Residency begins on July 1st. That means when you blow your fingers off with your July 4th fireworks, the first doctor taking care of you has been a doctor for exactly four days. Plan accordingly.

How interesting. spacedaily.com/sd-v-astrona...

Now THIS has appeared on my feed. Look at what they were given, and look at what got taken away. We were robbed! ROBBED! 😤 #OFMD www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYGa...

There have been too many disrespectful comments coming from Democrats about progressive wins. It is clear the American people want fighters, not people who prioritize the wealthiest who buy elections.

BREAKING: The legal battle over hit game Subnautica 2 has come to an end. Krafton has reached a settlement with the executives it fired (via ChatGPT's advice). Krafton has agreed to pay the studio significant bonuses while CEO Ted Gill has departed (again). Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I rebuke the idea that they’re the “silent majority.” And I want them to know it too. They do not have consensus, they do not have a mandate, and I want them uncomfortable.

Two things— credit where it’s due, first. It was my wife @tekla.bsky.social who answered the door and who wound up driving the kids home. Second— the other reason we put up signs and bumper stickers is because without them, other white people are free to assume all of us secretly agree with them

There is no reason for you to not have the career of your dreams, this human Allbirds shoe gets paid why not you

For our nation’s 250th birthday, I’m resharing one of North Carolina’s most seminal stories: How our state’s priceless copy of the Bill of Rights was stolen during the Civil War, and how an FBI sting operation recovered it from a dude who was on Antiques Roadshow www.ncrabbithole.com/p/how-our-bi...

EXPLAINING CANADA DAY TO AMERICANS

LRP: I thought a schism would be more dramatic. But no, it's the culmination of a lot of decisions, and somebody deciding to step over that final line (the ordination of the bishops)

One hour to go til excommunication! I see some people are confused about it. The minute the heretical Society starts the consecration of the bishops, they are automatically excommunicated. Leo doesn’t have to do or say anything. He’s done all he can. 👇 www.americamagazine.org/vatican-disp...

WELCOME TO SCHISM WATCH 2026 WITH CLAIRE

An insane moment in @highcountrynews.org history when a reporter fabricates a story. Glad to see the publication making it right: www.hcn.org/investigatio...
