I saw a northern narrier today too! Remembering I normally thread these and instead i'm just bird spamming you but I assume at this point you're here to see or at least tolerate scrolling past birds

If you recognize which unnamed woman is talking because you're asked for comment and the comment makes it clear which of the woman's rape stories match your memory of events, and you text that specific woman and say "stop telling people I raped you," that is.... sure an admission of something.

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries. Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

Right, well, we've got extra bills to pay thanks to probably a ground squirrel chewing through a wire, and meanwhile I'm behind because I have to move my work bench up here to the living room where there's electricity. I have put prototypes and practice pieces up for sale to support this nonsense.

Oh, also! Good news! Had a call with my Dad. He apologised. We patched things up. All good now. Okay night night for realsies now <3

God, y’know, it really is nice to know my album of the year already. Makes me feel a lot less pressure for the rest of 2026.

The modding scene for a lot of games is full of slop these days and that's pretty sad.

I know one of Legal Kimchi's pet peeves is when people try to argue circumstantial evidence isn't real/admissible. Like there aren't literally millions of cases that are openly decided based on circumstantial evidence.

You don’t need to get the witness to agree that he’s a piece of shit. You just need to get the witness to put enough facts into the record for the factfinder to reasonably conclude that the witness is a piece of shit.

Horror Author: In my book I invented Kaiju Pinhead as a cautionary tale. Saudi Arabia: At long last, we have summoned the Kaiju Pinhead from classic horror novel Don't Summon The Kaiju Pinhead.

I added a positive review to Apparatus Exanimus. It was one of my favorite experiences from 2025. An exploration game with multiple endings, secrets and ARG elements. store.steampowered.com/app/3972660/...

PLATNER IS LITERALLY STILL OPENLY USING THE "R" WORD IN CASUAL CONVERSATION. TODAY.

To be honest, most of the family's legacy is somewhere between bizarre, toxic, &/or rotten.

Rebranding failure since Kennedy is indelibly weird. And he has decimated US science leadership in an unforgivable way. What a rotten end to a family’s legacy.

And (since it will soon be gone) look at how y2k-aesthetic the Lycos home page background is. The 90s-faux-anime faces, the Flash curved gradients, the circle shadows under the tree, the repeating-symbol backgrounds, the curved lines for clouds, the callback to when phones had only one camera.

If you have Angelfire or Tripod webpages, or Angelfire email, back it up now. A shutdown within the next 27 days is coming but they have not given us an exact time yet.

The War on Terror produced some truly embarrassing terrorism studies hacks in US academia, but god damn, Max Abrahms might take the crown.

A home still was one of the few things where @neolithicsheep.bsky.social took the "you can't do that, you'll get arrested" side of the argument, and I'm here to tell you my chances of self-inflicted blindness just went like way, way up.

This is obviously fictional. One does not get to be a professor of economics by showing interest in whether the theories are true.

It has generally been established that in a free and open society, citizens do not need to really upon the state to tell them their opinions on current events. Yes. Also that the due process is tied to a specific outcome, so only applies to that outcome.

The govenrment has NO business restricting public access to public libraries.

That line work is *exquisite*. Also I am always here for Orc Dad.

The most random things pop into my head unbidden. Today’s example: “Then away he’ll schlep on his elephant Shep while Fella and Ursula stay in step!” Why yes, that *is* the them to George of the Jungle, thank you for asking. I had it on a mix tape when I was 17.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

I admit it, I can't get enough IPAs, and I am not sorry for using up one of my genie wishes on this

This reminds me of when Trump’s Commerce Secretary said COVID-19 would be good for the U.S. economy by only hurting China.

US consumer sentiment, as measured by the University of Michigan, plunged -5.7 points in April. to an all-time low of 47.6. That's down -10.7% from last month and -8.8% from a year ago.

What's funny is if you do bring it up people are like "yeah someone should kill him." Strange world

In the US if you're not super online and your primary source of entertainment is streaming for all intents and purposes the war doesn't exist. Gas prices are up but they always go up and down. In my limited experience talking to hundreds of people at the bar I've been the only one to bring it up

You forgot the First Rule of American Politics: IOKIYAR.

Trust me: they are still howling about this

lol remember when Republicans howled in indignation after Obama released $1.7B of frozen Iranian funds and all we got in exchange was a multinational deal to massively curtail its nuclear program?

our opponents are relics. oil and coal and black smoke and childhood cancers. they are as much dinosaurs as the fossil fuels they seek to exploit. we look to the future, energy from the sun and wind and all the bounty given to us by god for a clean planet. do you see how easy this shit is

"While a majority of women under the age of 29 voted for Kamala Harris, young men (under 29) swung wildly for Donald Trump... We were told those young men loved the virility and coolness projected by a decrepit draft-dodger with bone spurs. Well, congrats to all of the MAGA voters..."

"Unfunded mandates" were a more right-wing talking point back in the day, which you don't hear so much about anymore. They should actually be a significant issue for the center-to-far left as of the present day. It is a genuinely serious policy failure that causes a lot of needless fuckups.

that second sentence is essentially my pitch to certain clients.

they were always like this King’s Field II (キングスフィールドII) [1995] From Software - PlayStation

women pilots: ready to land air traffic control: bitch. are you fat? you sound fat.

Stop listening to/watching podcasts that teach you to be unemployable

Part of the reason they're so good is the Russians are helping them. The Russians have been mapping the social, political, economic, religious, demographic, gender, etc fault lines in American society & exploiting them in their own influence ops. Helping Iran, allows Russia to help themselves.

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

Fox News, circa 2013.

keming. not even once.

There's quite a few games in horror farm sim vein, and I do think indies inspiring other indies is a feature not a bug, but you know what the most interesting thing about that is? How different multiple variations on a theme can be, Nevereway doesn't look like Grave Seasons doesn't look like Crop.

I'm so old I remember when something like this launched a hundred QAnon Conspiracy theories about the World Economic Forum
