BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.

Big tech companies like Amazon and Meta may be passing the costs of building and operating their data centers on to YOU. That’s right. You could be bankrolling the electricity costs of trillion-dollar tech companies. I'm launching an investigation.

just realized only now that "graphite" means "writing rock"

Stoked to be in such company :D

I have said it before and I will say it again, Debate Kids are the ones actually ruining the country.

Here's some white pride: Jim Brown was a proud white man. He was proud of being white! He was also super anti-racist. But y'all don't want to put up statues of him? Why not? If you kept slaves and stole from Black people? He would steal from you. Closest thing to Robin Hood in the past 200 years.

Here's some more white pride: Everyone remembers that white people died at the Alamo, fighting *for* slavery. No white survivors. No one remembers that white people died in Texas, fighting *against* slavery. Texas BBQ was invented by German immigrants, who thought slavery was evil and for losers.

Here's some more white pride: A Jayhawk isn't a real bird. A Jayhawk was an *extremely* violent and capable white man, that was super anti-slavery. They didn't attack civilians. But if you kept slaves and hurt Black people? Then you were fair game to them. They would kill you and steal your stuff.

You can still hear the German influence in Northern Mexico's music. Accordions. Tubas. Polka two-step rhythms. The Norteño sound was influenced by proud white people who rejected slavery. No one has asked white people to apologize for this. La Chona is fire.

Looks like we're hitting $4K today on this spicy trans bundle. And the decimal squad are having fun. itch.io/b/3377/bundl...

Earthquake!

I won my first ranked go match against a human player! On a 19x19 board! I think they just resigned because of me dragging out the inevitable though. Still, I feel accomplished cause I’ve definitely gotten better.

Therapist: the fujoshi aren’t real they can’t hurt you The fujoshi:

A Rotten Girl was a documentary

That was a cute little earthquake

trying to decide if this would be a good or bad idea

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!” And I hate to say it But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas Quit.

Bullying gets the goods

I remember getting yelled at when I called out Clair Obscur for using the slop generators earlier this year. "It was a rogue asset", "It was a contractor", and so on. Welp, here's the goddamn producer saying they use them.

This is like one of those 3D eye-puzzle pictures but every time you look at it you discover a brand new, inconceivably cursed detail.

I think I’m going to commit to using exclusively copyleft licenses for new work from now on, and I may be taking the opportunity when doing major rewrites of Kat Classics to relicense them under copyleft.

Learning specific cases of my work being used by vile organizations makes me feel like I should just no longer participate in foss anymore. I put my stuff out in the world to make it a better place, and here are some people making it measurably worse, using my free labor in order to achieve that.

YOURE NOT DRAWING MISTLETOE!!! YOURE NOT DRAWING MISTLEYOE!!! THATS HOLLY!!!! THE BERRIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE FOR MISTLETOE!!! THATS HOLLY!!!!! THE BERRIES ARE RED!!!!! NOOOOOOO

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

ANNOUNCING MY WINTER ANTI-SALE for the next few weeks, itch.io is doing its winter sale, where devs who cut their game prices get promoted. but my games are all already underpriced, so i'm jacking up the prices by 50% instead. ho ho ho happy holidays

If your hook is "we're gonna be honest with you" and you get rid of that hook, then you're just poorly funded Fox News

I see Microsoft is just trying really really hard, with all its might, to murder its formerly-most-loved product. Anyway I've been having a great time with codeberg! Highly recommend! And as GitHub continues to enshittify Actions, the only real advantage is going away :)

lol lmao Y’all laid off how much of my team and deprioritized how much important work, and made my day job miserable less than a year ago, only to just give it up? Everyone knew it sucked from the get go. Shame.

Video that came up during chats w/buds at CALA, cuz it fascinates me. A Kurzgesagt vid, TL;DR version: - Exercise is great for you and you should do it - However it's shit at weight loss - Active ppl and sedentary ppl burn VERY similar calories daily(!?) Crazy 💩! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSk...

ごちそうさまでした (Description in alt text)

I saw there was “Ironmouse drama” and was afraid she’d milkshake ducked but no it’s just people being horrible to her again for some bizarre reason? What the hell is wrong with people why can’t you just be normal

A good rule of thumb I’ve found in life is that either all of us win or none of us win. It may involve tactical losses but the grand scheme can never be won if we sacrifice our own. Keep those arms linked together.

I need to know which brilliant mind at NPR is responsible for this

I have progressed from winning the very occasional game to pretty consistently winning against the easy CPU player in Go and part of that seems to be that my brain just expanded its evolved understanding of the game?! Like I’m just seeing the territory now instead of the individual fights Exciting!

Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction. And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake. Read: taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/understand...

Boricuas 🤝 Vietnamese folks

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

ah, the dipshit ouroboros

I was gonna do that thing where I repost this and just say "Oh". As in here is some important info that is fucked up but ultimately unsurprising. Then I realized my neighborhood is actually featured in this piece. 😔
