Mr. Radar

little-known fact: the worst video game ever, E.T., was even more difficult to play on the HP LaserJet.

Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush, 1978)

Every gothic horror:

laughing at the number 4 when i scrolled past some posts about php

PHP stands for Personal Home Page, because it lets me put my personal data on any server 🙂

Happy 6 year (and 1 day) anniversary to one of the most unhinged posts I've ever made: the HTML5 accelerator card

The "golden age of gaming" isn't one where the vast majority of people who love games can't afford the equipment to play them and where those who make the games get their ideas (and ability to pay rent) stolen from them.

It would seem Elon Musk desperately wants to be a real-life James Bond or maybe Tony Stark, but he can't manage anything more sophisticated than Spy Kids.

handing a db-25 cable to an autistic friend of mine, and when they ask "why?", I say "so we can engage in parallel play!"

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

I mean god damn, peas

I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

writing a rationalist fanfic about 'who framed roger rabbit?' but it's a series of spreadsheets and charts explaining the economic benefits of a freeway system and justifying the wholesale destruction of toontown

Why can't I do every ADHD hobby every day smh

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Doing a reverse Measure of a Man.

Pinball machines used to be outlawed because they looked too much like gambling.

the replies to this contain 100,000 variations of the "sickos" comic with different self-insert fursonas in them and that's beautiful

Finally got around drawing this animation idea based on the video of a very hungry rabbit.

More Democrats need to be telling the online casino owners behind Polymarket to shut the fuck up

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands are pretty ridiculous.

On top of radio stations servicing regional demographics, meaning what's on the pop station in L.A. will be very different to the pop station in Boise, we have to accept that streaming has split pop culture into a million fractals.

You can't really unsee it once you notice that the hatred for pumpkin spice products is just thinly veiled misogyny Like you can just not like stuff, but we do live in a world seasonal trends. People who hate it loudly aren't subtle about how it's just a way to indirectly hate women.

I'm suddenly realizing that nothing will end up making kids more technically savvy than they already often are compared to whatever generation that preceded them (with rare exception,) than saying "you can't go on ready-made social media." They will vibe, if not manually, code a parallel internet.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Disgust is a reaction YOU have to deal with. It is not a window into objective moral or aesthetic truth or something everyone else must avoid activating in you. Be wary of masking arguments from disgust under other values.

Colley Hill, Surrey: coffee break from birding the steep scrub. Love the plaque on the bench I’m sitting on

The legendary Robert Smigel wrote it, but yeah, a classic that remains trenchant, sadly.

Thought for the day: TESCREAL is just three Christian heresies in a God-repellant trenchcoat (one of them is Calvinism with the serial numbers filed off)

"the author of that harry potter story leads an insane cult that's captured much of the media in this country" is a different person if you're in the UK or the US

This is a really neat piece of writing, it's very authentic to weird internet forums.
