It’s not like they can ever do this on a good night but some nights are worse than others.

The DM started describing a thieves cant symbol I got this far into drawing it, at his instruction, before realising what it was and getting So Mad

It drives me nuts when people label my work as the "respectable" kind of queer art just because it's basically PG-13. Bitch don't pull that nonsense, we stand up for porn in this house. Always defend the weird, ugly, uncomfortable, and cringe, because if we don't push boundaries we don't exist.

oh cool I’ve been meaning to learn anxiety

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

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:

"Epic CEO angry that customers want to be informed and will refuse to purchase products they feel were made unethically so wants to take that choice away". There, fixed it for you.

The average medieval peasant could not buy a gas station delta 9 gummy and watch “Scooter Fail Compilation 5” on YouTube, which makes it difficult to compare GDP across time

is it so hard to figure out how to get me to buy shit? just put batman on it! I'll buy all your stupid slop, if you just put batman on it!! I'M EXTREMELY STUPID AMAZON, JUST PUT BATMAN ON IT

some of it is just because they are stupid and evil but i think at least a little bit of it is that the most morally complex work of art or literature they've ever been exposed to is BLADE RUNNER (1982)

This is my favourite game. Every part of it sucks, but each part sucks in a way that GESTURES TOWARD something that would be awesome were it not undermined by every other part. It can't be improved because everything that's terrible about its load-bearing. Did I mention it's the best game ever made?

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I get scared to start new games, especially ones where I will have to watch a ten minute movie about what the game is about. I sometimes start them up then quit them quickly, saying to myself, "not now. I can't do it just now."

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Maybe it will happen today. If not today, perhaps tomorrow. ...but it's coming, and sooner than any of us are willing to entertain. It's going to happen, and we can't even imagine what the global celebration is going to be like. Oh, I will be so happy.

Taking time off and just existing has been so good for me. I made a list of things I could do and I’ve been mostly ignoring it and that’s been great.

The other day one of the little Gen-Zs in my improv class unleashed what was quite possibly the most searing indictment on my person I have ever received. He looked at me, square in the face, and without a shred of irony or malice said "You look like the kinda guy who likes Bojack Horseman."

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

With genuine shame, recent years in politics have given me my first taste for what it is to have moralised contempt for my opponents. Not hatred, not fear; contempt. There's some core element of the right wing coalition at the moment which seems to me best described as a revolt of the loser men...

I've often thought that the best revenge for all this fashy misery would be affordable social housing, workers rights, a functional health service, sustainable energy and all the other good stuff they apparently hate. But I do keep glancing thoughtfully at lampposts.

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

There has never been a time when humans can be as angry at as many different things than right now and it’s breaking our brains.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

lol she got his ass and he knows it

RIP Baudrillard you would have loved this shit

Obviously this is ridiculous as a policy for employees but also as a customer my blanket preference from any people working in any store anywhere ever is “leave me the absolute fuck alone” Smiling?? Eye contact?? TALKING TO ME???? Absolutely not!!!!

Nightmare employee experience and speaking personally, nightmare customer experience too. Fuck off Target. Fix your DEI policies, pay your employees more instead of regulating their emotions, then apologize for 10 years. Until then, eat boycott bitches!

and honestly im sick of not pushing back on this specifically you want to advance human civilization? - universal health care - ubi - green energy - high speed rail and public transportation - free education through college

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

As a white man, I hate AI for appropriating my culture of being confidently wrong about things while using Reddit as a primary source.

lol

just....enjoy this

If the dead don't want to be spoken of poorly then they should have been better people in life.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

[P] Chunk of Concentrated Evil has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

to live through the Trump administration is to be inundated with news 24/7, story after story of absurd and horrible scandal unless you are Mike Johnson, who lives in an idyllic world full of puppies and rainbows in which nothing ever happens

'Federal prosecutors opposed Dunn’s lawyers’ motion to dismiss the charge, writing that Dunn was “recorded throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range". POINT BLANK RANGE. A SANDWICH. LMAOOO

Philip K. Dick gets it right again. Let's hear it for the vague blurs!

HYPOTHESIS: repeat exposure to the LessWrong discussion boards is functionally indistinguishable from mercury poisoning.

No takers for my Reverse Mrs Doubtfire screenplay in which an elderly Scottish woman pretends to be fast-talking improvisational stand-up Robin Williams.

Kinda want Trump to admit he, personally, has fucked a couch so we can all be “Yeah, whatever dude, not your worst crime by miles,” and JD loses his goddamned mind.

it's just hard you see them all cute in the window and you want to adopt one even though you know you shouldn't
