two astronauts scheduled to go up on the same shuttle mission in 1992 got married 9 months beforehand but kept it a secret from everyone bc NASA wouldn't have let them go up if they had known. do i have to draw you a diagram

So, given that this site is apparently fully slop-based now, time to repeat the old ritual: Fediverse: @[email protected] Matrix: @MorningSong:skapel.se Signal: MorningSong.69

That's wild. I guess don't use @proton.me anymore

it's genuinely fascinating and funny that bsky is turning into tumblr 2.0, and by that I mean. the powers that be seemingly hate their userbase, do not understand their userbase, and in response, we all just dig our heels in and refuse to give ground.

what the FUCK?? holy shit! this is so extensive!!! the absolute amount of features already is crazy!!

I didn't seriously use a proper computer until I was 12. For a number of years before that I'd see them used on TV and get a profound sense of FOMO-Anxiety about it.

Anyways.

Eromanga Queensland, NO SEAMEN

Bitcoin Mining Company Quietly Seeks to Restart Coal Fired Power Units Along Potomac River (that's right folks, this is not only still a problem but arguably a way bigger one than when it was prominent in public discourse!!) www.citizen.org/news/bitcoin...

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

the _what_ opal fields? 👀

One ran a shoe store, the other was in advertising (and was a nasty racist that my dad was thankfully estranged from)

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise. this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

I went & found a Baldur's Gate 3 mod for arachnophobes to be able to play the game without suffering the sight of a single spider. Instead, all spiders are now sheep. Behold the drider from act 2, with half the legs but twice the wool, prompting debate over the ethics of humanoid mutton consumption

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank bsky.app/profile/why....

Make sure to check out the Cookie's Bustle translation on our site. We got DMCAed for it a couple months ago, but we stood our ground (which was referenced in the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social article)

So i wonder if left-handed electricians still follow the right-hand rule or if they have their own unique left-hand law.

I think people really need to realize that outside of some very fringe cases every 10 years you might as well assume the entire staff of the company who made the games you like is gone and replaced by new people. Bioware and Blizzard are functionally different entities than they were

That's wrong then, it's just wares with a little razzle dazzle at the end

I just want to note, for the record, that archaeological evidence shows South America had known how to make popcorn for about 2,000 years at this point

an incredible distraction from present panic is historical panic! in sheep no less

I just heard someone pronounce "warez" with two syllables and like is that how people say it?

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Thinking again about the guy who knew us better than ourselves

"AI" is a program of rooting out every little tiny bit of light in your life and extinguishing it bsky.app/profile/wsst...

Lmfao this is so fucking sad 😂😂😂

investigative journalism!!!!!!!!! uncovering web3 crypto gambling takeover of formerly reputable sites to launder bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super Robot Wars 30 is not the 30th game in the series. That's silly. It's the game made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series. It's the 48th game in the series.

i am 100% not cool enough to be in situations where the coke gets busted out but i'm going to posit that its resurgence in popularity from the '10s on explains more about how politics works across the left-right and insider-outsider spectrum more than most ppl would suspect

Bear in mind that if you read this and thought "What a lot of reading for that gag" then we also had to type it out. So we are the real losers, alright?

“What’s Pombon gonna evolve into.” “I hope it doesn’t get big and humanoid.” “There’s no way to know what it’s gonna look like.” It was there all along.

I'm a little surprised, given how prominent she was when I was in grade school, that Amelia Bedelia never became an icon for austistic girls into maid costumes because i *know* that is a significant demographic

every great master of ukiyo-e: kitty cat kitty cat kitty kitty kitty cat

Starting to be a thing where if nobody called them out on it, methinks it wouldn’t have been called a placeholder retroactively.

anyway i'm done harping on it but they're for sure being dishonest about how much MTL is in the final product. I believe them about having human checkers, but "combing through every line and scrapping/rewriting it" is an obvious and nasty lie.

I want to believe

Watching Frieren as a native German speaker must be like watching a Toriyama thing as a native English speaker. "Chilly goes on a journey with her adopted daughter/apprentice Distant, and Strong. They retrace the journey Chilly took years ago with her friends Sky, Cheerful, and Iron."

"we translated segagaga via chatgpt" has to be one of the largest cases of "completely and utterly failed to understand the meaning and message of the source material", which. yeah i guess that makes sense.
