I think the text might go round the cube, but I’m not sure. The script is a really old “font” which omits the dots, and I’m struggling to figure out what some letters are.

For the curious here is Ramy with Elmo.

How is this threatening to your society? Growing up I remember Sesame Street had a lot of Spanish in it, I don’t know much about Spanish but most of what I know came from Sesame Street.

Right wing commentators have their knickers in a twist because Arab comedian Ramy Youssef got a 2 minute spot with Elmo to teach kids how to say, checks notes, “Hello” (Peace to you), and “Friend” (My love) in Arabic, during Arab American history month.

And we’re the snowflakes…

I misread that as “goldfish” before I saw the image, and was very confused…

I thought those were prawns and my first reaction was: “In this economy?!”

I find it reassuring that Pico-8, Godot, and Playdate all discourage the use of AI.

The indie gaming scene stands a lot to lose if the “market” is flooded with shovelware AI slop games.

A lot of us remember the video game crash of the 80’s and would rather not see a digital version.

I’m no artist, and it looks like he’s been crushed, but it turned out not terrible…

This man is one heart attack away from the nuclear codes.

A video probably doesnt do it justice of how bad it is to constantly hear this. This is not good shit and no wonder why people are shooting at reps who vote for this shit.

This is bad, Iran had attacked Jubail which is effectively a purpose built city for petrochemical refinement.

If you think petrol/gas prices are bad now, they are going to get worse.

This is Trump and Bibi’s fault, they thought this would be easy, and the global economy is just collateral damage.

Genuinely though this was about Trump... Or Elon...

Publishing is a bunch of people trying to figure out what they can sell based on what has sold in the past, and what has failed to sell in the past.

Any “established wisdom” is epistemological not scientific, and adhering to that advice without taking it in context is cargo-culting.
