One of these days, I will play Dwarf Fortress. aftermath.site/but-what-if-...

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

is it better for countries to invest in boring things like transport and energy infrastructure or should they invest all their money in useless chatbots that talk in reddit-voice on the vague and completely unsubstantiated hope that they'll be able to do something profitable one day

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I am also concerned about what will happen to the Sims with EA's recent acquisition. @paralives.com will be in early access in December, so I hope that will be an adequate replacement. www.theverge.com/games/816750...

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

Chicago Pope is going to say some things we all dislike because he is the Pope and still very Catholic but he is spending enough time poking directly at the worst Catholics alive that I’m ready to put him in the Pretty Good For A Pope bucket already also the sports jersey thing is incredibly funny

I still recommend ZorinOS over Windows 11. Installation was a piece of cake. And they offer several UI themes - helpful, if you want your UI to look like Windows or MacOS or even other Linux builds. Best of all, the OS doesn't pester you with AI or ads or suggestions every five minutes.

I sleep with a knife under my pillow in case someone with assorted meats and cheeses breaks in and needs to make a charcuterie board

Don't fund fascism.

I just ate a 5 course meal with wine pairing in Amsterdam where only 1 other couple was present in the entire restaurant. Genuwine's "Pony" was playing over the speakers and the restaurant's shar-pei would occasionally beg for scraps. The food was so good that I almost cried in front of the owner.

Or... you could play the significantly more noteworthy Animal Crossing for GameCube instead of playing New Horizons. www.rogue.site/editorials/a...

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Belgian chocolate is art.

Windows is again behind on what Linux can do, even on its own hardware. www.theverge.com/games/807711...

How cultured are you? I couldn't guess the name of the documentary before the Swan Boy cast could.

Bruges smells too nice, honestly. I can't belong here.

"Correlation is not cognition" as @olivia.science and @irisvanrooij.bsky.social says

I painted ur dog

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

If he mentions those animals as part of the test, I am assuming he is talking about the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is not an IQ test. It is a screening test for dementia/cognitive dysfunction. And I have bad news if you think that test is "very hard"...

Every day, I hear what he says, and every day, I lose my mind.

NPR article worries where will we get the money to pay for the retirement of the elderly in a world with fewer kids, without once mentioning that our economies have become massively more productive and wealthy - but almost all the proceeds have gone to a small elite www.cnbc.com/2025/10/03/t...

Strange how a period of insane growth in national and international economic inequality - where incomes have been stangnant for a generation - also coincides with people deciding not to have kids because they can't afford them www.npr.org/2025/10/27/n...

Most people on SNAP work - but aren't paid enough. No coincidence that SNAP rolls have expanded in the same time that the federal minimum wage has not increased since 2009 - the longest period without an increase since the minimum wage was created.

It's time to ride a high speed train so that I may resent the USA even more.

Totally normal diet advertisement

"it was important to me growing up" a vitally important part of becoming an adult is accepting that some things and people you once enjoyed or believed in were wrong or bad and it's actually good to leave those things behind !!!!

Heads up introverts, autodidacts and other former gifted kids: at this point if you haven't covered up your old harry potter tattoos.... uhhh...... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

My favorite thing so far about Paris has been the food and my least favorite thing about Paris so far has been how overly confident I was that I didn't need to use public transportation when I could just walk everywhere instead.

the duality of man

Is RFK Jr in the pocket of Big Stent?

The gift horse saying and the Trojan horse legend give us conflicting perspectives on whether or not to check the insides of a free horse

For my Paris trip, and a few times at home mapping my route to work, @comaps.app has been very accurate and useful. It also seems to consume a lot less power than Google Maps. It might be my new go-to for navigation.

Made it to gay Paris

I dislike subscribing to newsletters as they usually have too many things in them, but, as a primary care provider, I would kill for specialist organizations to have a "one thing you should know" newsletter to send once a week for non-specialists.

As a primary care, I'll send confusing patients to specialists, and I'll see the specialist say something like "unclear etiology" and not have much workup to add. My first response is always, "Oh, cool. I'm not actually stupid," followed by, "Oh, crap. The specialist doesn't know how to fix this."

I think they misinterpret what the phrase "male loneliness epidemic" means.

This is my first time waiting to pick up my daughter from dance class, and the amount of parents spending the full span of the dance class in their parked vehicles with the engine running the whole time is absurd.

Happy birthday to maybe the greatest game ever made

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Looking through my old photos on my phone. Found this old cartoon I drew about HIPAA.

I'm pretty sure my midlife crisis will involve a hair transplant.
