given the recent posting of the official strikes rules, I'd like to copy-paste my own version from a tumblr post I made the other day: Social media is simple: everyone gets three strikes before you're banned, you don't know how many strikes you're on, and trans women start with two strikes.

sorry everyone. i've never played starfox. i'm the one they keep remaking it for. they keep hoping if they release it again then maybe i'll play it this time

I'm still sad that the Steam Controller didn't go with the name I was hoping for. It would really have solved all of this "new Steam Controller vs old Steam controller" confusion.

Reupping my video showing that conversion therapy in the UK is mainly caused by about 40 people who simply will not piss off and are ruining the NHS for the rest of us youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

I have a sandwich topology question. A Dagwood sandwich is large along the Y axis. A submarine sandwich is large along the Z axis (you eat it end-on). What is large along the X axis? A sub rotated 90° doesn't count. Think corn on the cob; you don't eat it end-on. Does an X axis sandwich exist?

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

I don’t know if one can be “good” at Tomodachi Life but I think I am

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

I love writing code at 5 am

Wes streeting admits what he is doing is "humilating and cruel". But only for trans men (that look and sound man enough). Perfectly happy to inflict cruelty and humiliation on trans women. Source. LBC

It continues to be whiplash-inducing to read the Internet Archive official account posting, correctly, about problems with AI, and then turn around and hear their own chairman boosting AI as the solver of all of life's woes... Why can Tech never have nice things? Just being good without caveats?

Introducing the Hidden Depths Steam bundle! 🔎 TUNIC + 4 other award-winning games that are best played knowing as little as possible. Secrets, discovery, [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted] await! 🤫 store.steampowered.com/bundle/70688...

Highly recommend getting all of these excellent games, and Pyre, if you haven't played them already.

I also love when you have someone who *is* a mutual follow that you don't expect. Every once in a while just getting a jumpscare fave from someone you really admire, reminding you that they also see all your *other* posts and choose (correctly) not to fave those.

A bit over a year ago I was introduced to the thriving trans indie/self-publishing scene. What I didn't realize at the time is how this would lead to me finding a wonderful new community and really motivate me to work on my transition. For #TDoV I thought I'd highlight some of my favourites:

'hey what are you up to over there? wow thats pretty cool.'

Begging cis people not to press the button that makes children kill themselves. “But it’s such a pretty button,” they protest, sweat pouring down their face from the effort of not pushing it. “It looks like so much fun to press.” Dead children, we remind them. “...what kind of children?” they ask.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

and everyone who liked or reposted this is also judging you

just know that if you engage with harry potter in any form i'm judging you

This is one of those videos where the argument is so clearly and effectively laid out that I don't think anyone could reasonably argue against it. In a sane world, it would be the final word on the subject.

I thought I was prepared. I was so very wrong...

I love this text post so I drew it

Not just DLSS, or AI, but the last, like, half dozen major Tech trends have been this double-wrong marketing. The tech is bad, and doesn't do the job. But also even if it did, that job it's being sold for _is also bad_. And it's important to push both, and not let a focus on one concede the other.

That this happened organically in real life and not in my mind just now is proof not that there is a god or other such force directing things, but rather something much better: there are still surprises that are good.

*at coffee shop* Woman: Oh sorry I was just saying I'm here drawing too! Me: We're a whole section now. What're you working on? W: (holds up cool pirates) How about you? M: (holds up Mae) This kinda thing. W: That's great! M: Thanks! Your's is great too! ... W: Is that Night In The Woods fan art?

You know what? Yes. This is the way. Let the narrative decide.

In case anyond else was wondering...

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

I for one would appreciate if The Onion had fewer evergreen articles.

I can overlook millimetres per year, but what utter anarchy of a unit is inches per megasecond

There was some discourse about the official intersex flag being terrible, so I fixed it.

I don't know why they need to make short AI films about the American Revolution when the perfect one was created 18 years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRo...

Just reposting this monologue for no particular reason youtu.be/TyM9vNzPV-I?...

they were all in love with dyin' and they were drinkin' from a fountain that was pourin' like an avalanche comin' down the mountain

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" I want to say it was something I did on purpose... modding for DBfH, or that "Life in Life" video... But if I'm being honest, it's this gif.

Happy Roman solar new year!

ALL THE WAY is now live!

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Conversely, wrestling promotions should at least ATTEMPT staging full-roster pop concerts

Vtubing already shares so much DNA with pro wrestling (character gimmicks, kayfabe, alter egos, improv, evil IRL corporate overlords, etc) When will they fully COMMIT Vtuber heel factions. Scripted rivalries. Stunt choreography. Steel chairs.

An important detail is that little dude delivered this while wearing a red dress that brings to mind nothing so much as Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights music video. A true icon.

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor
