Willie Nelson has released nearly 100 albums in his distinguished career. Country, crooning... *two* reggae albums!? As a massive fan of this national treasure, here's a thread reviewing those records in chronological order. I hope it gives someone a great starting point for this living legend!!

La République, Honoré Daumier, 1848

Especially with Bandcamp Fridays still being a thing, more bands should be putting up some live shows to buy on their pages. I would buy so many!

Saw an Orchard Oriole for the first time ever at our feeders!

One of the core design principles guiding Innkeep is what Tim Cain "content as reward": having the players actions guide what parts of the game's content they actually get to see. This does mean that players will miss out on things. Maybe a lot of things. 🧵 youtu.be/ZpGbO9qk4qw?...

A giraffe can only take so much, when they are pulling the free coffee from the break room it might just send you over the edge. #screenshotsaturday

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

I did pre-order this on Amazon, and I just have to add that this is the only book purchase I've made in roughly three years. Really excited to dig into this!!

Dogshit take. The budget instructs committees to draft legislation for $70 billion to pay for ICE for ~3yrs, a process Republicans can pass w/no Democratic support needed in the House or Senate. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Don't Nod's Aphelion isn't just one of the best sci-fi games I've played, but one of the best sci-fi stories I've experienced in any medium. I cried, and I deeply cared about both Thomas and Ariane, no matter how tragic their situation was. My review for @butwhytho.net👇🏾👇🏾

The way my soul left my body when I read a work email about "Critical Thinking" that was written with Chat GPT...

I'm here you fuckaas bitch

Satoshi Kon's unfinished last movie is very interesting. It's like Astro Boy gone wrong — the future promised in the '60s is now a post-apocalyptic ruin. Enough material is public (including a storyboard page) to get an idea of Kon's plan. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/inside-sat...

I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.

She sounds like she knows what crayon tastes like.

They should put these clowns in front of your average comedy crowd. You know, the ones where the comedian does “crowd work” and the audience heckles them. It’ll be the same amount of accountability if nothing else…

Oingo Boingo - 1991-11-02 - Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, Irvine, CA [SBD/AUD Mix] https://archive.org/details/ob1991-11-02.sbd.aud

This is the kind of game where it would be easy for the execution to be all style over substance, but it's soooo not that. It's really a fun experience, and super polished!

I know we can say this about a lot of indie games, but Horsey Game is just chock full of personality! Like a horse racing game sounds like something we should have seen a ton of, but this one pulls it off in such a light-hearted, goofy way that it's just a gas to play.

Anatomy of a Shark.

This guy has the most punchable face since that dweeb who bought that Wu-Tang album

Ok, I appreciate everyone reposting this, but it’s a little… bullshit?! It sounds good, but not that different. It’s Take 2, which has been available for decades. The uploader got it from an archivist, and “restored” it, through unclear means I might add.

In ancient Chinese folklore, a talking cat is never just a curiosity. It signals that the world has slipped out of joint. When the military commissioner Yan Zunmei fell into madness, he overheard a cat remark to a dog, “The commissioner has lost his mind,” 1/3 #caturday

We should still be utterly disgusted that *well* over 40% of the people who are going to vote see what’s happening in the world right now and would do it again.

Yf Ich had a nickel for everye tyme yn a supernaturallye-themed tv showe a moment of changinge relationshippes bitwene characters was connected to a diegetic performance of a slowed-downe and mournful covir of "Take on Me" by A-Ha Ich wolde have onlye ten cents but still that ys a lot

This guy always looks like he's having fun. He never has that smarmy fake enthusiasm, nor the typical "I don't want to be here, but I have to for my campaign" demeanor. He always looks like he's just doing what he wants to do, in this case, watching a bodega cat get interviewed.

Gentle reminder…

Bill McClintock’s seamless pop song mashups have infiltrated my imagination so much that I imagined a McClintock combo that doesn’t exist: “Love Gun” and “Children of the Grave.” In reality, I had conflated two McClintock hybrids. One: youtu.be/JR3uz8rq4ng?...

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

The Garden of Earthly Delights (detail), by Hieronymus Bosch, 1480-1505, 📸 by @alexbrandon

Easter Schmoke. Too good not to repeat.

The. Rise. Of. Cognitive. Surrender. Study finds that people who use GenAI chatbots rely on them 80% of the time, and develop almost no capacity to recognize when a chatbot is feeding them faulty information. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Yesss this!! Art skills are the result of loads of practice and many mistakes. You just don’t see them all.

Do you want scans with that? I'm excited to share that I've 3D scanned all 5 toys in the original Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal set that McDonald's released back in August of 1990! These were the very first Mario Happy Meal toys. Grab the 3D models here: archive.org/details/kesh...

The failing of “vote blue no matter who”

My plan is to make music with lots of mistakes in it.

"Korg Modett is a monk of the Order of Beekeepers of Saint Philaret, Patron Saint of Beekeeping. Korg Modett is an experimental ambient dungeon synth artist from Greece." Ok, well... you have my attention! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqZG...

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

if manning up means using AI then brother i am pussying out

one of the best, most inspiring reddit updates i've ever read. trust me that you will never guess where this goes

😭 I beg artists to retweet your own art more often; way too many of you just post art once and do nothing else. 😭 Not everyone is terminally online, and timezones are still a thing. 🥹 I literally study/work/draw on this computer all day with bsky on the second screen and still miss some moot's art.
