This is a great poem!

This is so cool!
In the U.S., this is called going limp or passive resistance. One benefit is police can't claim you assaulted them. A comrade who is an able practitioner of going limp was prosecuted for Resisting Arrest. He fought it in court. Now, in NY state, you can't be prosecuted for going limp. Thanks, JF!
I'm posting to this to give you an excuse to watch it again.

there has never been and there never will be a better evangelist for roleplaying games than a bug eyed Christian with access to rudimentary desktop publishing software, a Xerox printer and a fevered imagination everything these honkers ever produce is just absolute 100% solid gold

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
Some 40 million years ago, northern Europe was covered by what is known as the Baltic Amber Forest, now known only from pieces of amber found on the coastline. An illustration from my recent article in the magazine Suomen Luonto, based on research by Dr. Eva-Maria Sadowski. cara.app/post/6e6ed80...

A fascinating video about a Japanese vampire RPG/strategy game on the PS1, the monstrous mindset it coaxes you into, and how the game subtly pulls your own desires and emotions out of sync with the protagonist’s. youtu.be/XhNjeRT-mU8?...

literally bigots on all platforms would have dramatically less reach if we weren't utterly obsessed with finding their content explicitly to dunk on it. I get it, I do, as a Former Dunkee I get it! but like a fire-without oxygen it fucking dies. Deprive them of oxygen!
This is a new Museum area we added to Midautumn! The exhibits can be interacted with to learn more about the town's history. However, as someone with knowledge of the spirit world, you might know a thing or two that the museum curators don’t! #screenshotsaturday

" why do you talk about politics so much" I am a queer sex worker lmao why are you trying to date a queer sex worker if you don't wanna hear about politics!!
Sorry but I actually think it’s pretty evil to try to play both sides when you’re speaking about a literal eugenicist like RFK.
boycotts aren't about you. no one is being persecuted or harassed for shopping at target or using spotify or going to a radiohead show. grow up.
i hate that i've been too broke to go to therapy the last two weeks. i am SUPER hoping to go next week. i kind of need weekly therapy right now. and i kind of hate my insurance for not covering therapy.

Hello Eric, this is your campaign manager speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this shit.
We were put in charge of the latest Patreon update, so we used this space to talk about the followup to The Chrono Jotter!! (It's fantastic)
If you don't hear from me the next few days it's because I will be watching this on repeat until I keel over.

This popular meme is a joke about the sexual assault and murder of a trans man, Brandon Teena. Most don’t know that. Now you do. Now spend some time thinking about why you don’t know that.

Really interesting decision here ... worth underscoring (as Kate does in the article) that contrary to the rhetoric of the plaintiffs' attorney the decision has to do with piracy, not AI training.

Full agree with this, with the caveat that it cannot be overstated how much you need to train your taste to be open to this sort of play. I know first hand how easy it is to lose the patience for this sort of play of you immerse yourself in the constant reward/progression cycle that’s everywhere now
The last time I was at a studio with a layoff, a meeting was derailed because the director asked, with increasing irritation, which engineer was supposed to design a feature that underpinned the whole game. That engineer had been laid off 2 days prior, and no one else knew how to do it.
a good video essay is its own cool thing and not a replacement for a well-written piece of criticism. lemme see the words dammit.
i don't have a lot of non-sarcastic responses to this that don't include the words "concentration camp"
referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries
Angela Rayner bent to just about all of current Labour's demands (derogatory). She has spent five years betraying her old values and making sure she toes the party line. And the party has Corbyn'd her anyway. I hope other leftwing MPs take this as a valuable lesson.
