What an insane way to just say that, I thought I must be on some joke site, but no, that’s the one. Like, comparing your faster load times to Steam is crazy when 1. They’re not even that much faster, and 2. They have a far better, more feature-rich launcher than Epic could hope to make in a decade.

Chris Franklin@errant-signal.com

Absolutely jawdropping to see Epic, once renowned for their engine prowess, literally opening a PR announcement with "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher" Especially given the dearth of features in the EGS compared to Steam.

I walked into a movie theater, and then felt like I was going insane because Undertale music like Fallen Down and Megalovania started playing out of nowhere, clearly out of the little advertisement TVs. Why are we advertising an 11 year old game? It’s amazing, but also why here? So confused

transmisogyny is misogyny anything that devalues our womanhood devalues womanhood

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

Conservatives literally always joked about hating women’s sports until they could get a win against the pesky transsexuals, and the second they got that win they immediately attack the very thing they said they wanted to “protect” It’s almost like it was never about fairness whatsoever.

concluding the "is mitch dead" saga with a surprise haymaker from lyndsay graham is so perfectly "nothing ever happens." we were all so focused waiting for chekhov's gun to go off we got jumpscared by a car crash outside the theater. then we turned back around and the gun was quietly removed.

They love indoctrination when it’s them doing it. They have to do it after all, it’s the only way their system works

After decades of screeching that universities are indoctrinating the youth, Republicans are proud to roll out the new course, Mandatory Youth Indoctrination 1001

it’s important to point out that AGAB was coined to actually describe how doctors discriminate against trans people. it was not coined to mean “a doctor writes down objective information”, it was meant to mean “something is violently forced upon you”.

New York City just had its safest first 5 months of a year in recorded history. Murders plunged 21%, and major crime overall is down 11%.

I think every grounded fiction story has a giant squid god slumbering in the depths of the ocean unless explicitly stated otherwise

The Woodworking paperback is OUT TODAY, and don't forget, you can enter to win a FREE COPY. And while Woodworking is realistic fiction set in a landlocked state, I can finally reveal that within the Woodworking universe exists an octopus the size of the Titanic who is bent on revenge!

21 years ago today a legend was born. A meme now old enough to drink. If your bones creak a little just reading those words, just relax, take a deep breath, and belt out the greatest battle cry in the history of gaming...

Ya know, I’ve been playing Outer Wilds again, pretty much entirely diving into mods and Archipelago games, and I learned that somehow, I had seemingly fully missed a clue in the DLC, which was the entire reason I had to look a thing up, and for ages I was confused how you could have ever found it.

Yes the median white man in American makes $70,000 a year, the thing is for the rest of us that's a INCOMPREHENSIBLE amount of money. Those are the people you're hearing from right now. Katelyn is a trans woman. The unemployment rate for you is 3.2%. For us it's 18%. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This is a rehash of the vibecession debates but median household income adjusted for inflation hit a record in 2024 (2025 data will be released in September). It’s just *not true* in any objective sense that people don’t have money anymore. It may *feel* that way but that’s different from reality.

Crossing state borders for HRT. Insurance denials. Missed surgeries. U.S. Catholic bishops imposed a ban on all trans healthcare throughout the church's massive networks. That's left working class trans people struggling even more. Our latest, by @davidforbes.bsky.social are some of their stories:

The fact that naval warfare exists will not diminish my love of the ocean. Nor will the words "space force" diminish my love for the stars. I have fought capitalism here on earth, and I will fight it on the moon if I have to, but by god I will not stop reaching for the stars.

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social

Pixar’s scrapped film ‘BE FRI’ reportedly had a similar tone to ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’ A former staffer claims Disney felt “little boys couldn’t see themselves in it,” allegedly saying, “We can’t have a girl power movie.”

A man stands, staring in shock at the price on a gas pump. "But...but...I'm not political," the man says to the pump. "This shouldn't affect me." The price does not change. "I'm NOT one of those POLITICAL types!" he screams. The pump does not respond. The price does not change.

Chrysler, which still exists, has shown off the updated Pacifica, which we are told represents a brand with “less soccer, more balls” (I swear they said that it really happened)

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.
