steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

What the fuck happened

First and likely only TikTok I'll make this year

talking with scrabble players is crazy because what do you mean you have beef with a letter?

I cannot believe that sitting on your ass and driving for 4 hours is something tiring enough to make you need to nap for 2 hours

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

Be mindful with your posts, I dont know if Fetterman is right wing enough for people to get suspended for saying this is funny

I just saw a cat climb a tree with a big sausage in his mouth

Demi overheard a British woman in Japan. From bigsofttitty.png ep 352 - I crave release

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics

Shoutout to this kindergarten teacher @lhistorienne.bsky.social sent me teaching her students to read by teaching them scribal history www.instagram.com/reel/DP7XGH5...

would be cool if literally anything came of this

environmental storytelling

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

My life has improved a lot in the past 3 months, and it is mostly bc I got practical experience with "Make new friends but keep the old" not being practical or advisable Ditching one friend to maintain 6 new friendships is a gain and the steps toward creating a community.

once on Twitter I got added to a list called "McElroys" and it was the three of them, their wives, and me. I checked it again later and the person had changed the list name to "Podcasters" but it was still just us

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

logging on

we’re about to start seeing a lot of “here’s a cost effective meal your grandparents made during the great depression”

In case you wondered, there's probably exactly one person who has licked the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian American DSA member who represents metro Detroit, is the second sitting Democratic congressperson to demand the resignation of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Live footage of Chuck Schumer.

i'm an "all motivations at once" kinda guy. not "they're malicious, not incompetent" or "they're incompetent, not malicious". instead: they are malicious AND incompetent, but also? they're lazy. sure, they'll take kickbacks. but they don't want to work hard to get them either.

pain relief is also healthcare, can't leave that unmolested

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Robbing an ATM is a Feline-y misdemeanor

I love this. Reminiscent of the Cult of Antinous.

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks. So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

If the political opposition doesn’t put these ICE & CBP institutional criminals in prison, annihilate their budgets, purge the datasets and repeal their authorities, this will keep happening. And that opposition will reveal itself as a false, controlled opposition that is no less predatory on people

I’m no statistician, but if you buy your first house in your 30s on a 50-year mortgage, and life expectancy is low 80s, isn’t this just called — rent?

I have a dentist appointment on the tenth and I have FLOSSED THE PROPER AMOUNT BEFORE IT

George: And then he hit me with the wrap! The Gen 1 wrap! Over and over and over! Jerry: After the thunder wave? George: After the thunder wave! I was completely helpless. Nothing I could do. [Kramer bursts through the door] Kramer: You’ll never believe who has 255 master balls

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

Is this going to interfere with my plan to lowball bulk buy funko pops at yard sales for a year and then hand them out to kids next halloween

at my big age of almost 30 i have learned the absolute joy of making jokes and puns to kids that make them roll their eyes at me and groan in despair

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Damn, kinda forgot how good breakfast is Did you know you can fry eggs and potatoes for that shit

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I bet this slide is awesome if you still have baby teeth to lose
