Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

People make fun of government agencies for still being on Flickr but photos produced by the government are copyright-free and I have yet to see a better photo-centric platform for delivering higher resolution photos that anyone can easily download.

Owning a pet is a series of $400 vet bills where the diagnosis is “your pet is on one rn”

Games like darts, billiards, bowling and chess completely give away what's going on.

The ONLY reason to segregate these sports by sex in the first place is because men cannot emotionally handle losing to women.

The ONLY reason to lock out trans people is bigotry.

Been getting a lot of use out of this one lately

@ItsBCJim The bad part of getting older is that you become an NPC, the good part is that being an NPC rocks. Nothing like walking down the street with a thought bubble that's just a sandwich you're looking forward to. Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane

And this beautiful game on grief is out now! If you want to support Arab-made work about the Arab world, history, arts, and culture -especially in a time of destruction and erasure towards our people- I cannot recommend this game more.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

We didn't deserve this day.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it"

both parts are important!

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc.

If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

journalists please be unafraid to simply say "I'm sorry, what? Can you elaborate on that?" when your interviewee says something absolutely off the charts absurd

I was happy to see all the gen ai paintings that I had spotted in Crimson Desert were removed in the latest patch.
A little funny however, when placing them in your home, the thumbnails still showed the old ai art, which actually helped me confirm there were a lot more "placeholders" than I thought.

It Sucks to Work in the Video-Game Industry Right Now Even developers who successfully release big hits, like Fortnite and Battlefield, are losing their jobs

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off.

no punishment too severe for whoever decided this is how phones should work

A screenshot from The Dagger of Amon Ra. The dialog box reads: "It’s too heavy. You don’t have room for it in your purse. It’s not yours. You can’t do anything with the shovel. You have more important things to do than use the shovel. Besides, the shovel is rusted into place."

I know it's deliverate to convey it's hellish atmosphere, but oh my god Golgotha in Caves of Qud is a genuine sensory nightmare

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals.

And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked.

And then the DEI office was killed.

And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Meta ordered to pay $375m after being found liable in child exploitation case New Mexico hails ‘historic’ win after jury finds firm misled consumers over safety and enabled harm against users

just some quick napkin math on this, $375 million is 0.18% of meta's reported 2025 revenue of $200.97 billion, or 0.62% of meta's reported 2025 profit of $60.46 billion. $375 million is the maximum penalty allowed by law.

the system just like, fundamentally doesn't work lol
