Playing Alien Isolation II would require me to finish Alien Isolation and that....... is not happening any time soon 😱

I've taught PERSEPOLIS (book & movie) more times than I can count. Two epic masterpieces, but, more than that, two texts that find their way to young people. I've never had a class that didn't *get* PERSEPOLIS, and that's a miracle of its own. Satrapi's voice and imagination are so alive. RIP.

Front fell off

Have been making a conscious effort to put a lot of time towards books this year and between audiobooks and written I'm almost past my total for all of last year, feeling happy

Not for nothing these are tiny numbers of voters! You participating in the primary process is almost certainly the most impactful thing you can do to improve politics where you are.

happy pride month everybody

Playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time and whew, that Maleficent fight is tough

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

Celebrating my virtue (went for a 3.5 mile run) with vice (two enormous slices of greasy pizza)

Yayyy DQM is such a cute series

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

It worked so well the last time

It me

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

Coca Cola really leaving money on the table by not making ginger lime available outside the mix & match soda fountains

Famously, Sun Tzu said "it is good to open up conflict on multiple fronts at the same time"

always the bridesmaid, never the sea hag luring sailors to a watery grave

I mean. *I* do

He's so cute

Seeing polls where Mayor Pete is ahead and acknowledging that I don't like him because he's a striving weasel in a suit but he is a good candidate and it would be fine if he wins the nomination because normies like him is praxis

Discovering there's a tier below "As Seen on TV"

Charcuterie is just lunchables with your pinky up

The new LaGuardia feels like it landed in New York from another planet, it is not nearly grimy enough to be from here

Officially on vacation til next Wednesdayyyyyy

a lot of the pundit class is constantly saying "what is the one liberal tenant that democrats must vigorously denounce in order to win the next election???" and the answer at the moment is "mercy"

It is 62 degrees out which is weird because you see some people in coats (weak) and some in t-shirts (strong)

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

For your Monday, here's one of the JWST Deep Field images. This is a portion of the sky about one-fifth the size of a full Moon. And it contains THOUSANDS of galaxies—some of which extend back to when the Universe was a couple of billion years old. The redder a galaxy, the farther away it is.

Astronomers strike it rich with exoplanets: TEN THOUSAND new candidate alien worlds found! If confirmed they'll *more than double* the number known! badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/astronomer... 🔭 🧪

What's very funny about the current UK political drama is that it has been clear for months that Lab was going to get smashed in the May elections and none of the contenders to replace Starmer appear to have actually crafted a plan for when that happened and the party is only just waking up to that

fish fear me, fish want to be me, fish want to fish me I have a multifaceted relationship with fish

I’ll vote for whichever 2028 candidate promises reconstruction 2.0 at this point

Hard to take the UK seriously when news from there is like "First ballot box arrives at Fflint Wrecsam"

.........lol

This just confirms to me for some reason that the rumored Ocarina remake is definitely coming

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

The quality of Star Wars media is mostly unrelated to why people love it. A ton of it is just not very good! The more fandom loves it, especially, usually the worse it is (Andor obvs excepted). What works is that it's a galaxy of potential where every fan can find a niche.

One wonders if the Iranians are doing a little market manipulation by tweet/statement of their own

“I wear the chain I forged in life! I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you?”

Plug for anyone who plays EU4 to check out the best mod in Paradox history - Anbennar! Basically imagine EU4 in a D&D world.

This seems like it coulda been a slam dunk AI pivot but ???
