"okay so we take 2000 of the most extroverted old people we can find and put them in close quarters on a ship for weeks, stopping only so they can get coughed on by strangers at random ports around the world" - telling scary stories around the fire at epidemiology sleepaway camp

"It's the future" never washes with me, because you know what else was the future? Scanning a QR code to see a menu in a restaurant. That was a tech innovation that didn't solve a problem that existed, it was just annoying. Turns out we can just reject their vision of the future and go back.

Narrator: Holly did mind.

I'm a simple guy. @patstaresat.bsky.social and @peachsaliva.bsky.social start streaming a cool game I haven't played in a while, I reinstall it. Avion goes brrrrrr

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Rowling is no Lovecraft, whose bigotry is mitigated on account of him being a big dead bitch. Rowling is alive and uses the money earned through things like this to fund a transphobic hate campaign. There is no excuse for buying anything with Harry Potter branding.

See also: "You're just posting for likes!" What that tells me is that you still have notifications on and actually notice when someone gives your post a like. I do not notice. And I do not care. For the record, I'm posting for unfollows.

1. Babysitter 2. Slaughterhouse worker 3. Grocery store bagger 4. Call center interviewer 5. High school teacher

Fun easter egg — You can tell Kat is gonna stand up for LGBTQ+ rights because of all these dope transitions.

A plea to subtitlers to please also translate when the characters speak a different language. [Speaks Spanish] doesn't help.

Happy 14th anniversary to this youtube video

Happy Christmas to all, even the haters and losers

Not too shabby y’all. Not. Too. Shabby.

helpful tip

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts. ocremix.org/remix/OCR04918 youtube.com/watch?v=fUsg...

I wrote a 10-page analysis of Molière's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme the night before it was due. I got an A+ with the professor congratulating me on my "extraordinary understanding of the characters' psychology". I read half of one act.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Canada Post is not a goddamn business and it's infuriating that the government keeps talking like it is. We never hear about how much money the army loses, or how deep in the red Environment Canada is. But the Canada Post, it never stops. And it's bullshit.

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

Yes. We know!

@aspyr.com buddy you release games in this state? #NeverwinterNights2 #PS5

As we see ANOTHER huge drop in the cost of curing tuberculosis, I am reminded that 1. drugs are not expensive because they're made of platinum or something, and 2. the fruits of activism are often harvested over many years. Thanks to all the folks who made this happen. www.stoptb.org/news/breakin...

tfw when the presumably very serious Silent Hill 2 movie adaptation uses @alexsteacy.bsky.social's silly Let's Nope running gag as its official tagline

World, meet Punchgirl. Punchgirl, world. She'll check in again in a decade or two.

I’m gonna need everyone to be five percent less stupid.

And let me be clear -- I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people.

One of the most dangerous tropes in political media is how the only Jewish voices that matter are the most right-wing ones, hence the ease with which reporters assumed Jews are scared of Mamdani. (This is also how Jewish protestors were erased from the discourse about antisemitism on campuses.)

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night... 🤘 🖤

Listening to @graham.loadingreadyrun.com do his damnedest to explain the lore of Final Fantasy XIV without having played it while the characters' names increasingly sap his sanity is a delight. youtu.be/LuiA-uLu_JI?...

Why does @roll20.net hate me personally
