My memory of what it was like to browse the Xbox Live Indie Games store page in 2010

My son (15) just came up to me and asked: "Mum, what was the main ship in Star Trek again?" And I said: "Spock/Kirk" And he looks at me for a few seconds, then says: "No, I mean the spaceship." He was talking about the Enterprise. Fanfic mommas ftw #startrek #fandomolds

baby shooting stars 💫

It's pretty clear at this point that several well compensated NYT journalists simply troll through the work of independent journalists, take interesting stories, and rip them off without credit. It is shameful.

A far-right idiot amplified by Alex Jones, Jason Whitlock, Gavin McInnis and others has been streaming himself saying racist shit to black people in order to provoke them into violence so he can shoot them. He just shot just a black man here in Tennessee.

Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny.

this the shit I been up to

Cool mural going up in Ballard. Fun fact: If Seattle chooses the mid-rise option for Ballard Bridge replacement, this building and the breweries around it will be demolished for a freeway-style ramp.

I'm delighted to announce the forensic recovery of the original single-stroke font data from Vib-Ribbon (1999) — exhumed from Playstation ROMs — and now part of my archive of procedural skeleton fonts for #p5js: github.com/golanlevin/p... #mediaArchaeology #typography #plotterArt #creativeCoding

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YESSSSSS

And now I know what people mean when they say, "I am going to become The Joker." I literally screamed into a pillow.

the beauty of this website is that every morning you can wake up to a new bloody civil war with absolutely no indication whether it was incited by someone saying “silk boxers are mid” or “I believe you should be allowed to eat any dog under ten pounds”

split keyboards with a coiled TRRS cable in the middle are that way so you can stand with one foot perfectly centered in the middle for style points.

If you product is “built for AI” or centers AI in some way… it deserves to fail spectacularly

And that is why there’s a trans flag hanging in my office that’s visible to anyone who comes to the circulation desk.

President Xi you could make the deal of a lifetime with the American people, here

Please, for the millionth time, check sources before sharing something especially news that feels extra upsetting. Even if “it’s technically true” doesn’t mean we need to see it edited in the most fear-inducing way possible without context.

Four a.m. this morning on Sunset Pass Road in Hansel Valley, Utah. This is the proposed site of the world-infamous Stratos hyperscale data center, which its builders estimate will require about double the energy currently used by the entire state of Utah. 1/2

MAN: Hello, police? It's a terrible thing, you see, my wife was killed last night, I was hoping you could send someone to investigate OFFICER: Certainly sir, the great detective Columbo is in town. Go and see him, he will solve the case MAN: Ah, I see, very good. Oh, officer, just one more thing,

So the big problem with cybersecurity as an individual is that the people leaking your personal information are your school, your bank, and your boss.

Linehan is absolutely furious about this, btw, and at least one person in the replies here has screenshots of him saying he doesn't get toyalties for this episode for whatever reason.

Whenever I worry that "AI" is actually going to catch on, I turn on my car radio and hear how many stations announce that they promise they aren't using it. I've heard it repeated on 3 major stations in the Bay Area, and radio's an industry where I assumed they already did everything by algorithm

I don’t believe it will be of any surprise to those who follow me that I’ll be once again boycotting Eurovision this year. It is a contest that welcomes a genocidal state. A genocidal state that should not be given a platform, especially on a stage that is meant to promote inclusivity and peace.

Dodgers Pride Night is June 5 against the Angels, and they are putting up a permanent display in the centerfield plaza at Dodger Stadium honoring Glenn Burke and Billy Bean

this website has to engage in a ridiculous discourse about whether or not it is good every 8 days. so i think we can clear it up. it is not good. it is largely annoying. many people on here are antisocial weirdos. but im posting with my pals on it. so net positive.

is it not, like, somewhat exhausting to reply to every post saying "democrats should do <good thing>" with "they won't"

Checking in on the San Francisco Giants outfielders...

Wait a second... I can just ignore this

New from 404 Media: spoke to four people who attended a trade show where senior ICE officials spoke about how much Palantir is supercharging their arrests. List of 20 million people on ICE agents phones now; increased chance of successful arrest from 28 to 80% www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

Allowed: spicy content Not allowed: explicit sexual content What "spice" are we talking about here then? White flour?

Here are the coins you are looking for.

this is an actual Bluesky Rule: if you have ever so much as exchanged a single like, you are required to hold up the book in the shop and say "hey my friend wrote this"

my google account is heaven@gmail (long story), so I get a steady trickle of emails from people writing to God. some of them are real winners

Mamdani is proving you can just do good stuff. You don’t have to get rich people’s approval for everything.

before anyone tries to be shitty about this: *THIS DOES NOT MEAN MICROSOFT IS NO LONGER BEING BOYCOTTED*. until someone from No Blood for Azure or BDS *officially* says otherwise, do your best to keep your money from Microsoft. this just means the tide might be slowly turning.

no you dipshits college is killing college. Getting a degree costs way too fucking much and the odds your field gets eliminated upon graduation look way too high rn

what's crazy is i was told that republicans couldn't steal an election and here they are clearly stealing one a full ~6 months before midterms

I’m heartbroken. I care so deeply about adult game devs, other adult media creators & free speech. Just for context, here is some award-winning media that’d be banned on Kickstarter now: -The Witcher -Game of Thrones -Cyberpunk 2077 -Castlevania -Baldur’s Gate 3 -God of War -Dragon Age -Mass Effect

In regards to Kickstarter: start fucking calling and clog up those lines. This fight ain’t over. Cede no ground. Call PayPal and Stripe too. We go down biting the hand.

"Kickstarter has always been a home for bold, boundary-pushing creative work and that hasn't changed" while actively banning sexual content is fucking laughable. I'm so sick of these miserable piece of shit companies using sexuality to build themselves up then ditching us for "acceptable content"

Dragon-powered hot air balloon concept

perhaps it was bad for society that popularity online is directly hitched to being fucking annoying as shit

Nervous

The thing about how I write with em-dashes is—as I’ve said before—that I find they help approximate the vibe of my literal thinking in ways commas don’t quite, which is to say kind of twitchy and distractible and inclined to mid-thought asides It actually couldn’t be more human
