Also, who's keeping the difference, and what sorts of islands are they visiting with the money they've stolen from us?

I like writing my arguments tailored for the audience I believe will receive them. So you can see I think very poorly of the higher-ups who will receive these comments.

That's my specialty! Space: Above & Beyond (1995) The Tick (2001) Threshold (2005) Dirk Gently (2010) The Good Guys (2010) Death Valley (2011) Outcasts (2011) Tron: Uprising (2012) Constantine (2015) Ghosted (2018) TWO seasons: Better Off Ted (2009-10) The Invisible Man (2000-01) Powers (2015-16)

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

It is not an impression. You live in a Christian Fascist Dictatorship. You are property.

Got a whole lot of people blocking me because I want to hold the Democrats accountable for ICE and Israel during the PRIMARIES. This is literally the BEST time we can do that. Once it's settled as to who's on the actual ballot, we have to eat our blue slop and like it.

HOLY SHIT. Wow. You cannot trust anything these people say. They're as broken mentally as MAGA.

Oh no. It's a GOTCHA. I've been "gotted" by a smart vote-blue-no-matter-who. Really, being critical of the Democrat's fails is just unsportsmanlike. I should go back to America where I can be homeless and unemployed instead of Australia where I have a job and doctors. Really, I'm the traitor.

I'm listening to a bunch of ttRPG encounter design advice on YouTube because I want to use those skills for war gaming and make games more narrative-driven <3

Every KOSA bill is designed to do three things: 1.) Make lists of adults so pedophiles know who not to stalk. 2.) Isolate children in abusive families so they can't get help. 3.) Kill queer children. You'll never guess how often these three things overlap.

Love seeing S: A&B art on Bluesky. Titan A.E. in the mix as well? Gorgeous stuff.

Film: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country TV Series: Death in Paradise

Given that none of these companies can control or guarantee the behavior of their models, this would be either a blanket ban on the technology OR a way to trigger the machine into generating fines infinitely.

For my fellow #Gamedevs #indiegames #indiedev

The 2nd highest paying job I ever had involved falsifying student records for med students so they could get financial aid w/o signing up for classes earlier than they wanted to, & helping our in-house team forge their transcripts b/c our records were unreliable we didn't want the Registrar to know.

"If he's a complete fucking asshole, how can he keep making all these logical contradictions? CHECKMATE, LEFTISTS!" Me: 😩

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.

Some really nice stuff on here. Not sure if that 6mm terrain would be the right scale for #BattleTech but it looks so good, Alpha Strike players might want it anyway.

Remember back in the 00s when you first signed up for an email account and you'd get so few emails you actually read them? I really hate the modern volume of trash.

It's truly the first Star Trek movie. It's got everything that makes TOS Trek: 1.) Shakespeare 2.) Freudian Psychology 3.) An alien world with an ancient secret 3.) Impossible alien creatures 4.) A really classy robot 5.) A Captain, XO, & Doctor who are bffs 6.) It's horny for alien princesses

OH WOW! A $30 mechanical keyboard? That's exactly what I needed. What could go wrong? What went wrong: Who shapes an Enter key like that.

It’s really not a good sign that everyone’s first impression is “I need to make the people on my phone suffer”

Every episode I listen to, I leave a YouTube comment that includes my pitch for a guest I want them to invite. So far: Kevin Smith Sigourney Weaver Ernie Hudson Claudia Black Aaron Ashmore Zoie Palmer Sharlto Copley Caity Lotz Anthony Lemke Alice Wetterlund David Hewlett I'm gonna keep doing it

Took longer than expected, and had to have its scope cut multiple times, but I do have a #BattleTech article out this week (even if a day late).

Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk started a podcast, and I'm fucking hooked. www.youtube.com/@OnceWeWereS...

So much goddamn guesswork started going into this. After a while, my math stopped looking like estimates and started looking like the Drake Equation. Ugh.

That's so fucked up xD I, like the daughter, started crying. But they were tears of dark comedy.

The Bibites has had another really cool update. I love following the updates on this game <3 youtu.be/reD0BDqTYpk

Me: "I wonder if I could make a table-top wargame as dumb as Helldivers." Friend: "There is no way to make a game as gay and stupid as Helldivers without making out at the table." Me: "But I don't want to play Lancer." For real, could you make a table-top wargame where the core mechanic is dying?

JD Vance Translator: "Listen, our ICE babies are scared and can't sleep. They just can't shoot very many of you in the back/face as they'd like. But if we just take your healthcare away, we can kill way more of you. So we're going to do that."

Failure and I are like Death and Rincewind: we spend more time in each other's company than either is comfortable with.

We set up a fly trap to try and deal with the deeply unpleasant and numerous fly problem we've experienced recently. The flies so thoroughly filled the liquid trap with their own corpses that they've been able to lay maggots in their own dead, and turned it into an aqueous breeding bottle. Ew.

I hate modern laptops. One year of light use and the space bar is now only working 50% of the time.

Fascism 101: 1.) Find the name of something AVERAGE PEOPLE agree should be destroyed. 2.) Redefine those words to mean all the minorities you want to murder/punish. 3.) Season to taste with a sprinkling of "Think of the children!" 4.) Serve to a gullible population.

Advice I really need to take.

That's. Fucking. Right.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

This show is too fucking good. And it's a training video. (The Inside Man)

Share a TV show that raised you

I need more fake FFT quotes Final Fantasy Tactics over at twitch.tv/ScrapKingKeita

I keep telling people about Operation: Damocles in AT-43, and nobody cares. They're just like "Oh? I guess." But it's a massive invasion of a mobile star with an artificial planet built around it. A planet made entirely of factories. How is that not the coolest thing in sci-fi?

I hear the best way to fight fire is with water. Who has directions to the Charlie Kirk memorial? I need to chug this gallon of water real quick.

They think punk means *acting without consent* not *acting in defiance of power*

I love Kat's confidence. No ambiguity. No trying to hold her sign sideway as a cop-out. No shit takes about AI art. We need more politicians like her.

Paypal just stole $89.25 USD from me. No explanation, no reason. Just removed it from my bank account and sent it NOWHERE. And they've replaced their customer support with an LLM. Classy.

Serious question: what boss fight could you use this in? I can't name any ginger boss fights in video games off the top of my head.

The real reason MurderBot is so goddamned relatable: it's a Cassandra just like so many of us. (Joke) Just another thing added to the list alongside "MurderBot is a cat who protects its humans."

a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork. her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return. please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.
