In 2008 before wireless game controllers were invented, Mario Galaxy players had to email Shigeru Miyamoto with “I jumped” followed by the name of the mission they were on, their Wii’s serial number, and wait 2-3 business days for Mario to jump

It's just remarkable that if you're white, male, and conservative you are allowed to call for political violence that would get anyone who doesn't tick all those boxes absolutely pilloried. The group with the fewest legitimate grievances in society provided the widest grace to rage. Wild.

It's embarrassing how this website handles stuff but it's also embarrassing that you can get DMCAed for linking to a public website

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

I want to work in muppets but I don't want to work 9-5 so we all need to support The Muppets enough that they're forced to add an extra shift (to keep up with demand) and then I'll do night muppets.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!" counterpoint! the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

Dusting off my theory that the reason the right wing press went so hard on portraying Media Studies as a "Mickey Mouse degree" in the 1990s is because they didn't want a generation of people growing up able to call out this bullshit.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

popsci.comFirst-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transitionNinety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

We had an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam, then these two reviews rolled in Why does Valve allow this?
