I guess I'm glad there's only, like, nine of us...

I think if rich and poor alike in your society feel incredibly precarious about the near and long term future, it doesn’t really matter what the charts say, your economy is not in good shape. Commerce relies on trust and we got rid of that in favor of subscriptions, scams and planned obsolescence

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

oh PLEASE my entire social media philosophy since day one has been blocking straights

Time for the birth of terror. Me

Gotta go with GURPS BOARDROOM AND CURIA: TOMORROW RIDES . . .

You have to respect Nathaniel Essex. He names himself Mister Sinister and wears THAT costume. And then he creates a team of thug minions and names them the Nasty Boys. And makes them dangerous enough that people are forced to talk about Mister Sinister's Nasty Boys in serious tones.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

whenever people announce they're taking a break from bluesky, it's usually because they're astronauts experiencing a mandatory communications blackout as they re-enter earth's atmosphere. that's why they always come back in six minutes

"We think of English as a fortress to be defended, but a better analogy is to think of English as a child. We love and nurture it into being, and once it gains gross motor skills, it starts going exactly where we don’t want it to go: it heads right for the goddamned electrical sockets." Accurate.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Fun thread for weird times!

This is a truly incredible archive. This sort of thing just… doesn’t exist. Insane. A gift!

While making lunch, I was trying to sing the warble in the opening lines of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know," and it ended up sounding like Kate Mulgrew. So if you wanted to know what the Captain Janeway who lives in my head is currently singing . . .

FYI @katuvaggio.bsky.social @denniswatson.bsky.social . . . incoming drama. Alert the trolls, give the boggans what they need, and watch out for redcaps.

To clarify, when I said I was a fan of '80s nostalgia, I didn't mean the "daily fears of nuclear war" part.

Indy--we are almost there! Woodstock shows are sold out. One Chicago show remains. www.TMBG.com

What I found most intriguing is the notion that “light/dark-gray checkerboard” can enter the visual lexicon as “invisible/transparent.” Like, previous visual representations were “dotted line representing the thing” or “the thing with Photoshop opacity.” Wild to envision something completely new.

Life Is a Highway (derogatory)

I can’t believe my eyes. This long article—which I first thought would be just another “Why are so many young people dying of cancer? Huh/no clue” ones—covers not only Buffy nerddom, but also deep “inside baseball” COVID facts. I’ll briefly hope yet again that this might represent a turning point.

This is so, so well-articulated.

When I assert "Am I sexual?", it's a bid for affirmation. I really need you — my Backstreet Boy backups — to support me with no more than an enthusiastic "yeah," rather than drag the moment down into semantics about "define sexual" or "why are you asking?" And the flat-out "no" really hurt, Kevin.

Indianapolis! Detroit! Chicago! Woodstock! We are coming to play multi-night stands in just a few weeks! HUZZAH!

I mean, the two column format of the upcoming revised GURPS Basic Set is easier to read, so logically this must be four times easier to read.

Hot take: I love April Fool's Day, but I feel it's a holiday that should be held to the same scrutiny as other holidays. Like, if you give your partner something on Valentine's Day and they have to ask, "Is this a romantic gesture?" because they can't tell… you've failed at Valentine's Day. (1/2)

Thanks to my library (and an online recommendation), I've read THE WEIGHT, a graphic novel by Melissa Mendes. It's a…err, heavy read, but it's also very fast and remarkably unpretentious even as its quasi-timeless nature delves into lots of issues that continue to touch so many. I'm glad I read it.

Someone posted somewhere that the reason why we see the is/ought posting debacles is because people are wound really tight and there isn't actually much of a conservative base here to engage in posting combat with, and so they just sort of find anything that lets them yell and do so.

Warner Bros. has announced that #SpeedRacer (2008) will be released in theaters, including IMAX, for the week of April 25, in addition to being remastered in 4K Ultra HD, digitally and on disc, on May 19. 🍿 Read More: bit.ly/4tmZbCG

So I grabbed this cover because it reminded me of a Mutants & Masterminds #TTRPG thing I was just writing, namely how a team villain like Dr. Spectrum from the Squadron Sinister becomes a threat to an entire hero team like the Avengers and then goes back to being a villain team member:

This is amazing. There are also four others: "A mostly untrue history of rack PDUs" "What does an IT pro do?" "What Does an MSP Do?" "What is a customer service engineer?" www.eaton.com/content/dam/... www.eaton.com/content/dam/... www.eaton.com/content/dam/... cdn.pathfactory.com/assets/prepr...

Please stop spreading this rage bait. The quote everyone's angry about, about "crappy identity politics," is not from Weir.

Feels like @muskratjohn.bsky.social might be interested (if he hasn't seen this already) . . .

Fun times to be . . . trying to do anything, honestly.

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video platform Sora after it flopped Disney is now exiting their $1B deal with OpenAI

DOWN GOES SORA 🤘 finance.yahoo.com/sectors/tech...

Ruin a book by adding 'somehow' to the opening line. "Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor somehow lay crossed."

I just realized that "colonoscopy" scans perfectly to "Bare Necessities" so guess what I've been singing and dancing around the house?

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

Holy shit, someone found MST3K KTMA episode 3, Star Force II, at a garage sale. Lost media since 1988. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Z4...

“you have to accept the future of games! it’s inevitable” man when’s the last time you used a kinect

i have been fascinated by the rollout of the macbook neo and how it seems aimed like a dagger at the cheap windows/chromebook market. it is at once the most obvious thing in the world — let's build a mac around one of these phone chips — and potentially very disruptive

This is an absolute delight.

Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo
