My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

The Inner Light is a beautiful episode of television. I've cried watching it. One of my absolute favorite Star Trek episodes. For people that haven't seen it, Picard is playing a flute in the art. He is NOT hitting the space vape for fat rips.

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

時のオカリナ(楽器)の発売日が発表されてないかちょくちょく公式サイト覗いてるんだけど未定のままだな…　オカリナでオカリナの操作したすぎるんだけど、とりあえず手頃なのを買って妖精のオカリナってことにしようかな

I am a type 1 diabetic, and last night Dexcom forced me to agree to a new terms of use in order to continuing using the app and view my blood glucose data. Glad I had the foresight to "view agreements" and then copy the entire document. Because there appears to be NO WAY TO VIEW IT AGAIN. And...

A thing I think about a lot is how directly this stuff is descended from casino customer-tracking apps as they were emerging in the 90s. Addiction By Design covers this in a chapter - casinos harvest data on videoslot players and then measure exactly where their "Frustration point" is on losses.

Announcing RimWorld update 1.7! It moves the game from Unity to Waylith, our in-house engine, and runs 2-4x faster in our tests. Try it now on the unstable beta. Oh, and RimWorld isn’t the only game on Waylith... Read on Steam: store.steampowered.com/news/app/294100/view/672882362547178633

Is it just a millennial thing or do other generations share things on discord/bluesky as a kind of second brain. So you come across them later and be reminded.

My new special "Big Divorce Energy" drops October 23 on Youtube!

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

As a professional punter, I’m in absolute awe at the masterclass put on by this Congress. Just punt after punt after punt, it’s like rewatching the 0-16 Lions.

Back to the matter at hand: Bird Jace's cloaca. Presumably, this is a manticore-type situation, where Bird Jace has the body of a bird and the head of human Jace. Assuming Bird Jace doesn't have human genitals and digestive track, it's safe to assume that yes, Bird Jace DOES have a cloaca.

I'll be calling the offices my representative Hillary Scholten today. I don't have any demands, I just want to let her know that I'll be engaged and working the next two years to help find her primary challenger and get them elected. I want an opposition party, not whatever the fuck this is.

Also, to all you SICKOS comparing the Hugo to a DILDO and making jokes about the FLARED BASE and all that DISGUSTING AWFUL STUFF: Yes, indeed, we've all been saying that for years, welcome

Joined Steve Bartlett on Diary of a CEO for a 2.5-hour-long chat to talk about the Al bubble, why OpenAl and Anthropic are burning billions, the fake Al boom, and what the aftermath of the bubble could look like. youtu.be/Lf5oqGOCRCM?...

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

...fuck, he's right

"What is my purpose?" "You use Yawn on other legendaries for a guaranteed status effect since the Thunder Wave TM is unavailable until the postgame for some reason" "Oh my god"

OK this is incredibly cool. A gamer has created floppy disks of his Steam collection and they act as executables to launch that game.

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

So PKSM appears to have scripts to reset the flags for the gift Type:Null and Poipole so I don’t have to rush myself through fresh games to hunt them for Home. Absolute banger for the time crunch tbh.

seeing so many people hunting type null right now i find it very funny how my dex quest has lined up with bank shutdown panic. my old vid on null is getting a boost in views. i hope i can get this new one out soon, i need to spread the word about null!

Had to clear all of my Switch docks and games off of the desk to set up my 3DS's, Gamecubes, and Wii. I wonder if this is what Nintendo intended with their Bank closure - complete abandonment of modern Pokémon games for half a year.

lol

it's her time

Here’s what Flock’s new reforms do and, more importantly, what they don’t do. Spoiler alert: They don’t change the dangers of mass surveillance. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Hey everybody. I’ve seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he’s lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game.

Serebii Update: Players who complete the Pokédex from Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen into Pokémon HOME will get a gift of a Celebi www.serebii.net

Frank Zappa was on about this in 1987. “Cigar-chomping old guys who looked at the product and said, ‘I don’t know. Who knows what it is? Record it, stick it out. If it sells, alright!’” “We were better off with those guys,” says Zappa... www.openculture.com/2016/09/fran...

As a bisexual male I would totally own this amazing gay frog. But worry not friends I already own a bisexual dragonite so I'm covered.

El-Sayed on Vance: Is that Peter Thiel's boy with that Ohio charisma? The last thing that he said that made any sense was Hillbilly Elegy—after he said that Donald Trump had no business being president of anything. And then he decided to suck up to power.

what happens if you drink a changeling

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
