Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I feel like I'm in my Ewok era. Take that as you will.

Hey all you gamers claiming to "want shorter games made by fewer people who are paid more to work less" here's your chance to put your $15 where your mouth is: a spooky & elegiac exploration game made by ex-Bethesda & Ubi devs. It's excellent. Buy it & prove there's a market for games like this!

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

What a queen

Rewatching Zohran's victory speech bit by bit and it's hard not to be emotional about it - it's an appeal to hope and courage but also to the fundamental idea of living in society, together. Feels like we've been starved, often deliberately, of that kind of thinking

"This will be an age where New Yorkers expect from their leaders a bold vision of what we will achieve, rather than a list of excuses for what we are too timid to attempt." (Text version here: www.businessinsider.com/zohran-mamda...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOQT...

I shave the back of my head now to show off the head tattoo and y'all just - it still feels REALLY weird to just feel skin and no hair back there. SO WEIRD. My hair grows fast so the peach fuzz will be in soon anyway to save my but. Weeeeird. >.< The ink looks GREAT tho! :D

Reposting to correct an error: trump admin is quietly gutting 13 buildings and about 100 laboratories at Goddard campus that has been instrumental to Hubble and James Webb telescope missions. Staff say they’ve be locked and told to move equipment. Anything left behind will be thrown away.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Second dark #fantasy novella: Dining with the Demon-Eater. You're invited to a victory banquet in a demon-haunted city, with a fearless socialite; a mercenary hungry for revenge; a loyal spymaster; and an assassin in the shadows. Some will feast -- others will fall. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DW2Y5WH1

Happy Halloween! If you're in the mood for some dark #fantasy, my two novellas are up on Kindle! First up: The Cold Iron of Summer, a retelling of a classic Welsh myth. A goddess fights for her underworld kingdom, the balance of the world -- and her marriage. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXBQSM3F

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Flu AND covid vaccines today, FUCK YEAH.

Found a new hairdresser. I am delighted. Had not gone to see a pro since Covid started save for 1 time this summer & lol THAT was a disaster. N listened well to my concerns, knows curly hair (his is much curlier than mine!) & loved my head tattoo. The new style is lovely & shows off my ink! :D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :D :D :D

Went to my piercing studio after work today. Had new jewelry put in, two bullet spikes for my top helixes, going from 3mm opals to 4mm synthetic sapphires. So chonky! 😄 We removed my last piercing - it wasn't quite angled right, so we're letting it reclose and will repierce again next year.

Today the Husband-Shaped Person and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary – Silver Jubilee! We are celebrating by taking the day off, eating good food, spoiling the cats rotten and playing World of Warcraft, as one does. 💕

To every young or aspiring dev out there, look, some free advice. (Older devs, you know better. 💀) For any game you are going to work on that has any GLIMMER of possible localization. Or editing. Or anything involving writing really... DO NOT HARD-CODE THE VO/NON-VO/UI TEXT STRINGS.

These days most people know that Christopher Columbus was a genocidaire and that celebrating him is a disgrace. But did you know that he was also mediocre sailor nearly forgotten to history? @edburmila.bsky.social explained the Columbus myth back in 2017. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

We have less than $50 to go before we hit $400! Who's gettin' us there? 👀 On Nov 8 I'm playing games for 24hrs to raise money for SockKids Children's Hospital. This is my 10th year and in that time we've raised over $23,000 together! www.extra-life.org/participants...

Hey #k-beauty peeps! I am having to rebuild skincare my regimen soon, and I'd love to year about your fav brands & products. Ideally cleanser + toner + serum(s) + moisturizer at the very least. Would love to hear of any other products though! Please share your favs! <3

Sometimes you have a call with someone & you just talk about your favorite cheeses & charcuterie boards & brie bakers & crackers & spreads (apricot & jalapeno) & that is honestly the best conversation you will have in the entire week. Cheeeeeese. (Get yourself a brie baker, friend. <3)

Are they gonna be allowed to actually complete the work, though. :(

Important PSA! Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut. That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Early cat: ok guys check this out, I simply pretend to be its baby. *Makes a plaintive crying sound* Early cat's friend: c'mon man this is humiliating, you don't have to- *Caveman obediently tosses a chunk of cooked meat over* holy shit I'll be damned

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

It's the "eating plastic" that'll kill me from stress one day. (Goblin will snag something and RUN while trying to snarf the thing up as fast as she can the second I spot her, she knows, she fuckin KNOWS she is not supposed to eat whatever she found, sigh.) Ugh, yes, of course I love her anyway.

This flew under the radar with all the batshit stuff happening at HHS but this has major implications. This could be used to revoke the use authorization or at least severely restrict it and as a result, severely restrict abortion nationally. abcnews.go.com/US/health-se...

It is ridiculous how many game companies expect you to relocate for a job they’re obviously going to lay you off from in 18-24 months.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.
