I don't know that I've seen anything in recent years so accurate it aches at how precise it is.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Saying here so I don't start posting this to every skeet: Furries are apparently an untapped voter bloc

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

Every time i read some conservative christian write "ooh, those lefties hate me for my faith" I have to laugh. Like, I am openly and visibly and loudly religious and even the most turbo anti-theists are largely fine with me. They don't hate you for your faith, they hate you cause you're an asshole.

Tragically, we see incidents where people survive major storms but are killed by carbon monoxide from portable generators. Never run your generator indoors. Run generators outdoors at least 20ft away from your home.

Yea, so... as with MANY THINGS in bad parts of "nerd culture;" do I recognize 'myself' in many respects? Of course. But also, NOT AT ALL, because what I'm recognizing is bullsh-- that I grew out of either before, during or immediately after *college,* if not my TEENS. These are supposedly adults 🤦‍♂️

They’re very cute

Kind of a rotten day today, but I did get a good amount of productive stabbing in.

Making good progress on my lathe stand, below are the cabinet doors. Doing dry fits right now, and in what feels like true @kbspangler.com fashion I come to find that at some point I messed up a measurement and cut the sides 3/4" too short. This is for myself so I think I'm just gonna go with it

It's almost space heater season.

Behold! Yet another book available for preorder! This one has an aroace protagonist, many oddities, and a Very Good Goat. Also kind of my tribute to McKinley’s Spindle’s End, which you should read while you’re waiting.

AI* has a >10%** chance to kill us all *not the AI we're working on but some other AI that we'll build for sure if you keep funding the company I work at **number I made up based on a still-theoretical technology that nobody has but we all love talking about

Said author has a most delightful style to her prose.

It's almost like as if years of micro transactions > live service > Always online > exesive crunch > Mass layoffs > AI addoption > 'you don't own anything' attitude > shitty CEO personalities, is really bad for a companies sales. Who knew?

i don't think you can really understand the peril of social media positive reinforcement until you appreciate the secret panel here

TV writers, please use this thread to introduce yourself. Tell people what level you are. What you write. And if there is a dream staff you’d like to work on right now. I don’t have a huge following on here but who knows? Maybe the right person will see this and give you the boost you need.

True heroism is slow, patient, boring, unglamorous, and collective work to prevent disaster

Fun reminder - in two weeks Sony is going to delist 500+ digital movies. If you bought one, they’re going to vanish from your library too. Oh, and no refunds, you didn’t actually own them in the first place www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/06...

Reminder: 1. You don't need to have an opinion on everything, especially stuff you don't know enough about 2. You don't need to have a PUBLIC opinion on everything 3. It's okay to focus on one or two things and let others take up the slack elsewhere 4. It's okay to take a break when overwhelmed.

Ledgerbound is finally here!

Already noticed some AAA games from the last few years slipping in quality due to the attack on labourers by the wealthy class and uh... I think gamers need to know it's gonna keep deteriorating in small ways, not a big bang Games will still drop for a while, but they'll be quietly worse
