a jarring coincidence to come across both of these today... and mysterious, too, since Pope seems to have actually written "Sporus". a typo? a jocular plural, for a reason that eludes me? who can say

people don't talk about powerlinesinanime.tumblr.com that much anymore. i think that's what's gone wrong.

ok this is really clever

NEVER FORGET the debt we all owe to the Miccosukee Tribe, without whom it would still be open. And never forget that Indigenous sovereignty and all our safety and flourishing are forever intertwined.

went on a lil streak and got top 20 back

saw a public piano in a park, and on a whim i decided to return in the middle of the night and record some Satie, so after i do some editing and stuff, Satie Complete Piano Works Volume 13 will probably arrive later this month! it’s going to be a good one i think

hadn't heard of this, but it seemed like the kind of thing i want to support. went to verify they were doing reasonably interesting work.. and saw that they published Cavar, who earlier this year came to my book club to talk about their Failure To Comply. book & person were both awesome. sold!

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

just woke up from a dream where i was driving, using a new version of google maps that was significantly better at giving specific instructions about which lane to be in and stuff. but then suddenly a notification popped up over it that said YOUR BOTS NEED MORE CASH

hell yeah brother

120 star TAS 13 years in the making is premiering live as we speak get in here www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

watching @quacksilver.bsky.social give that speech and then FC crab rave blindfolded made me cry a little....

Don't forget that BECOME A GREAT ARTIST IN JUST 10 SECONDS is available again, and you should play with it if you haven't before (and if you have). I made this today. I call it "Mycelial Prism"

*sheathes blade* #868back

they're calling it the apex build of the century #868back

Did not quite beat my best run but did acquire a laser eye and cozy scarf!! #868back

to celebrate patch day, i immediately got to use my /booted blit to turn on this beautifully unlikely /apex for free.... i love this game

the 868-BACK update that just went up on steam - aside from the usual long list of bug fixes (SO MANY INTERACTIONS) - has a new screen layout specifically for steam deck that has some larger icons and clearer text to work better on the small screen.

currently enjoying BLAZOR[QK] mr-bo.itch.io/blazorq

lotta people clicking like on this; not a lotta people DMing me for a consultation. don't be shy!

cherried velgress :)

That reminds me of my most-popular-ever short story on Twitter

does anyone out there need FREE personalized 868-BACK purchasing decision counseling? perhaps just shouting about how great it is is not the best i can do. reply or DM and I will leverage my decade+ of broughlike recommendation experience to help you decide if 868-BACK is right for you. please RT!

the miracle of LLM translation

i don't exactly agree with "we fucked", but if you carefully read every single post brian makes in every subthread here, you'll get very close to my own understanding of LLMs as used for software engineering. one of very few public figures i've seen get it right. but you have to read all of them!

Another aesthetic netherworld is when people embrace an undiscerning poptimism and then, metaphorically speaking, wonder why they feel sick from eating trash all the time.

(as opposed to a discerning poptimism which sees the capacity for good in all things but also acknowledges that a lot of shit sucks for real)

i am literally always saying this

just witnessed the incredible hypercorrection "asinign" in the wild

nice to see folk figuring out VIBE PROGGING steamcommunity.com/app/3304110/...

actual pro tip from a girl who has been to more shows than i could ever count: if you ever need to get out of a crowd quickly, push your body in the direction you need to go while you put your hand over your mouth and dramatically, visibly heave. people will get out of your way IMMEDIATELY.

i just managed to updog myself.. there was a billboard that said "that's the Mapfre feeling", and I immediately thought "what's a Mapfre??" and only then, afterwards, realized what I'd said and responded "finding directions from one place to another, obviously!"

@fern.neocities.org hi! i don't know how you found my post but it's neat that you did! are you a sylvie fan? i poked around on your website and found and enjoyed your (pl.) game. i thought you might both be amused to see this screenshot from my 2nd attempt :D

i love to manage my financial affairs on the computer

serious question why doesn't Discord just ban the hash of the (for some reason) one single crypto spam image that has been hitting every server on earth daily for months? i think they mandatorily have the tech. it's not like a permanent solution but i would love to see a new spam image someday

anyway, you should read soulsov, my visual novel about the world's most sweetest nicest dad and the world's most problemest woman getting slammed into each other at 5000 mph. it's 20% off right now. 😇 gigidigi.itch.io/soulsov

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Site's getting hammered because of this but: web.archive.org/web/*/https:... Of course we saved it.

i have this problem where i really want to be constantly talking about how great 868-BACK is and how my runs are going, but all the screenshots i want to post are either huge spoilers or shitposty jokes that make the game seem inaccessible. or both!

i'm totally into the in-depth discussion happening on the discord about which locations in 868-BACK are real and which are virtual discord.gg/DAYxVKgxr

"BECOME A GREAT ARTIST IN JUST 10 SECONDS" The award-winning game/glitchy art program @smestorp.bsky.social and I made in 2013 has now been rereleased on Itch for modern OSes. Try it out!, and make sure to tell any friends you want to play a weird prank on mermaidindustries.itch.io/become-a-gre...

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

can’t tell yall enough what a breakthrough it was for me to learn from this interview that most people just want to feel like they’re being obeyed they rarely follow up on whether you actually obey them
