Fantastic, a new copy of the Nazi bar anecdote that’s not hosted (yet) on a Nazi bar.

“Come on, your goal is to cut corners and save some cash, maybe lay off some artists down the line. You could at least be honest about it.” ❤️

there's a moment early in the film of Ready Player One, where the voiceover says, "the only limit was your imagination", as the screen fills with pre-existing characters & IPs. It would one of the most on the nose satires of modern culture if not for the fact that it's meant entirely without irony

😂 BTW, happy pride month!

Just … perfection.

Just under 5 years ago, The Guardian censored these words of non-binary academic Judith Butler arguing that transphobia is fascism. Butler has quite obviously been proved right. A good day to share this widely.

The UK has been plummeting down the LGBTQA+ rights indices of Europe, and Labour has been banned as a result from many Pride marches. A Labour MP who *actually* supports our rights is doing so *against* the policies of their party and government. He’s not doing it on behalf of them.

Make some non-shitty media. Actually govern. Maybe, like, don't qualify your acceptance of trans people with fifteen different caveats. This is the most straightforward time to be on the right side of history since the 1930s.

Omph, a Lego Miranda Class, absolutely do want. “Of course! We are one big happy fleet!”

Hi. Librarian here. Let me settle this once and for all: audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. It's all fucking reading. Stop gatekeeping and stfu. Thank you an have a good night.

Spider-Noir. “Switch between color [sic] and black and white with ‘alternate versions’ below. Available on supported devices.” My Apple TV is not a supported device. And colour is the wrong default choice for Spider *NOIR*. It’s 🏴‍☠️ time!

@tomcoates.bsky.social I am constantly amazed by you giving internet strangers so much time and trying to explain complex political things in a way that I can barely do for people I actually love and respect, and I just wanna note that off thread. “Oh piss off” would be my FIRST response.

JFC just let me paste GIFs into the app you monsters

I wrote a 160 PAGE adventure for 5E inspired by all the old school stuff I love and wanted to port to 5E. Whether it's hexcrawls, dungeon crawls, or just straight up deadly fights! It's here in CROWN OF THE FUNGAL QUEEN! www.patreon.com/posts/crown-...

This is a map of land surface temperatures across Europe yesterday. Multiple heat records are being broken and it's only late May. This is climate change, and it is here. But don't lose sight of the fact that a few thousand oil executives and politicians made a LOT of money in getting us here.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

It’s totally fine if you just tell everyone that their AI art looks and sounds like utter shit because I promise you computers don’t get offended.

When I saw this post in my feed I scrolled post thinking it was just an example of some US-company cultural insensitivity/ignorance. It is not. The truth downthread is *wild*

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

nah i just use kagi now

Kpop Demon Hunters

Honestly, I think this is an unvarnished public good here. Man elected on platform of simplism finds that things are complicated and actually ... that's good. Next week he discovers social care.

If only the government had half as much backbone.

One of those pipes is going into his pocket. Please do not ask where the other one is going.

Shoutout to the very senior professor in HCI who gave a talk last month about how AI can do qualitative data analysis better than people now.

General reminder, as Google continues its lurch to search awfulness, that Kagi is legit brilliant. Its own AI features can be turned off. You can customise your datasets and weightings. Also SlopStop allows you to downweight, or filter out entirely, AI slop results. Legit worth the $10 a month.

I have many opinions about people using names properly and this is like step 0, yet seems utterly impossible for people, even simple things like using “David” when asked not to call them “Dave”. I don’t know to pronounce non-English names out the gate but I like to learn them and get them right.

I'm actually gonna go even farther with this social criticism I think this all comes back to men being pissed off that now they actually have to try, put in effort, when it comes to attracting wives In this essay (post thread lol) I will--

In the case of the whiny Twitter guy back in the screenshot that started all this (it's like a quote within a quote at this point, but you'll find it) -- he wants to be recognized as having written meaningful scientific papers *without actually having written meaningful scientific papers*

“Boobs beat genocide!”

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

i can't even be mad at this

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

WAIT THIS IS THE SAME GUY??

Unless something catches fire, yes, the posts should be available on bsky and in JSON for everyone’s* delight and delectation. * nerds

huh! good to see internet rewilding being taken up as a frame and a rallying cry by @mozilla.org Be great if you guys linked to where the idea was born and the people already working with others and bending the whole shape of our lives around how to do it: www.noemamag.com/we-need-to-r...

I cannot overstate how much I appreciate "I made this little thing!" posts that break up the scroll of the seven million ways we're all going to suffer and die.

Fuck yeah.

Modest proposal: People who use "staycation" to mean "going on holiday" to be placed under indefinite house arrest.

No. Have better ideas. That's the approach. This strategy is futile.

pure, uncut, liquid Sir Keir to write an article about "breaking with the status quo once and for all" on Friday, then announcing new roles for Harriet Harman and Gordon Brown on Saturday

No strategy, blaming underlings when things go wrong, demanding unpaid work to fix it - I've just realised that Starmer is like every bad boss I've ever had.

Something something Labour appealing to Reform and telling Greens to go fuck themselves something something
