No critic can ever say anything worse than what I tell myself at 3 AM.
One of the funniest things I've ever heard. Every time you ask your coworker what they did this weekend it's something like this.
The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
They sure are just fucking standing there staring and not moving, just like the raves of my youth

What stage of capitalism is this?
This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.
Yeah, no. I'm a contractor, I write for games, and sometimes that means writing 100% of a game's text. I'm a valuable part of the team! Contractors aren't just "support", they deserve to be credited (and treated) better than this
debate perverts hate this one trick
Was reminded of this interaction i had with a commission scammer 2 years ago where they were pretending they could make custom 3D models

I'm not sure if this is the correct course of political action, but I wrote to the Vancouver Park Board in support of finding a way to keep the Bright Nights charity fundraiser in Stanley Park instead of the new $49 Harry Potter event here: vancouver.ca/your-governm... globalnews.ca/news/1139552...
if you live around Vancouver or in BC, please complete this lil form. I don't need to see harry potter shit replacing the light show in stanley park this year. why is there so much harry potter shit around lately? do people just like, not know??

One of the weirdest parts about social media is the pervasive belief that if you're posting to it, the *intention* is to attain "clout" by appealing to everyone, and people just don't get that some of us just kinda want to hang out and joke around with folks or answer questions for fans.
Saw Ben Wheatley's new film Bulk last night, made in secret, using obsolete S-VHS cameras, iPhones & VFX made from Airfix kits ordered off the internet. The end credits, hand-drawn by Wheatley, offer instructions on how to do the same at home if you want to. This is the anti-AI art we need.
You have got to check out the trailer for this, it's absolutely wild youtu.be/5MkqNbWsbvk?...

I started to try to pull this out before I realised what I was seeing: someone on the construction team has plastered this transfer from the station into the cement-board wall surrounding the elevator they're building into it, to record the date for the future
was dealing with my garden this morning and remembered this comic i drew last year for no particular reason at all 🌱 #comic
Whomst among us wouldn't throw thousands of dollars at artists we love for our blorbos if we could.
My first webcomic, Digital Hell is up on comicfury! :) it has 2 chaps so far I’m not too good with descriptions, but it’s about 2 lesbians in their 30s with no emotional maturity and they’re vtubers and one of them is trying to ruin the other one’s life as one does. digitalhell.thecomicseries.com

I’m delighted that this video explainer was made so people can stop passing around that link from B*unding Into Comics
Maybe people not in art/comics circles. Idk I have them so heavily suppressed here I haven't even SEEN that link
This guy not only took credit from my fellow Lorcana colleagues but also claimed to be an official Disney artist to inflate sales. In reality he has been black listed from the company for years after sketchy behavior. youtu.be/EqmvqrdHaSc?...
Okay kids, going to be a dad for real for a moment. I've seen an increase in people losing their accounts to scammers/hackers again. When someone comes into your DM's claiming to have reported you by "mistake", don't believe them. That's part of the scam/hack.
this is the ghoulish guarantee

"Just one more thing...I can't help but think. At home, my wife bought a set of silverware, and it's expensive for my salary. But you're a wealthy aristocrat, and I haven't seen any silver here. Nothing. Isn't that a coincidence? They say vampires don't like silver, but of course you aren't one."

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg "Click to view full size")

i love this webbed-site @thelouvreof.bsky.social
The premise of this column is that the left is materialist & refuses to discuss values. Of course, the left tried to discuss values -- anti-racism, anti-misogyny -- in those heady years around 2020 & the result was immense, sustained backlash from people like Brooks. So ... not *those* values.
What Brooks means when he says "values" are a set of gut intuitions shared by conservatives. Those intuitions do not actually reflect reality & cause disaster whenever they are translated to policy, but to people like Brooks they are primal, inarguable, the atomic units of politics.

Can we start a second Bluesky like people start a second group chat and for the same reason
Is it too much to ask that you can actually enjoy your summer vacation without getting caught up in solving a murder via ghost, tangled in a lighthouse love triangle or losing all your clothes and being mistaken for a fugitive?
I have to forward this to some refined gentlemen who would quite enjoy these fellows in this costume choice

We need you to infiltrate a notorious pedophile hangout. To make sure they don't suspect you, you will be a real-life pedophile. To do this, we are going to have you become best friends with the main pedophile for years, and then to ensure you don't get in trouble, you need to get elected president.
It looks like you follow for follow farmed at some point and it worked out exactly how that usually does, with everyone talking in their own voids and not engaging with the ten thousand mutuals they have now

Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

It was hyper rare to see white kids in all black schools when I was kid, but given the few I knew (even up to college) who said they were more comfortable going to an all black school where they were accepted as a curious anomaly and not made fun of… this tracks
This is a behavior I wasn’t familiar with until college. I literally didn’t know what they were doing. And they would keep insisting “it’s just a joke”, but where I’m from, it’s only a joke if there is genuine laughter in response. And if there isn’t, your joke failed and everybody knew that.

If you want a *real* wake-up in the morning, try this. Grind the best coffee beans you can get, bring the water to a gentle boil, and pour 2 tablespoons of *this* into your cup without looking too closely.

33 years ago today - on September 5, 1992 - BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES premiered. Here's wishing a very happy anniversary to one of the finest shows ever produced, and to the amazing creative talent - the writers, artists, performers, and more - who crafted it all. Salut!
