I think my impression is kinda getting mixed in with the manga where the demons seem to be different people with different personalities.

I think so. Different demons show different preferences in fighting style so why not clothing?

Hm... demons seem to have a civilization of sorts and come together for some things. Perhaps the clothing has a display purpose that shows their rank in the civ? Or maybe it's just cool

I have an internet friend I’ve known my entire adult life who has a substack and maybe what they say about GenXers being infatuated with AI is true?

Why are you letting the lake drinking copyright stealing machine use your family photos to make slop? You don’t have to do this!

Tavern Keeper: it's good

I used to be a civilian epidemiologist for the Army. The optional-flu-vaccine policy won't last.

I think a good analogue is that much of the culture is Very Online now in the fact that we are all swimming in it like fish in the ocean but Online, much like the Ocean, is a very vast place and it doesn't mean you know every fish in it, even if some fish are pretty big.

My theory is we have multiple internets. So something is huge one place and niche another. Like some people wouldn't know about KevOnStage for example m

many of these apps are just "app-ified" websites in the first place. there are multiple development packages that can convert your website into an app, so that people can install it from the corporate package manager

make it make sense

I learned that country cooking is apparently white soul food

Witch Hat Atelier getting an anime means we’re seeing a return of both “this fictional child did something irresponsible” AND “this fictional teacher did something not in line with my office’s HR guidelines”, which is always fun.

imagine being a death doula, they're like I don't want to die and you're like get back in the fucking box

i am a museum of all the things i’ve ever loved

Bluesky is a Twitter clone that got popular by attracting a fun trans and furry user base early on, at a time when everyone wanted a Twitter clone that hadn’t just been bought by a Nazi. Don’t church it up, son.

Aint arguing with nobody that do evil shit like writing guides on how to go on vacation with just two pair of draws! I dont associate with folks that do evil like that.

ethical tech means asking what your creation could do in the hands of the worst people possible but tech bros haven't figured out that usually means them

btw we do mean this very sincerely. the bsky team wanted a haven for technofascist consolidation but they failed to account for how many furries work in IT and how much overlap there is between furries and various marginalized communities, we truly think this is a factual read of the early days

Jack completely underestimated the overlap between "people who make the internet run" and "tranny furries".

I love how collectivy the entire internet is slowly breaking since the proliferation of AI. On Instagram, DMs randomly disappear for hours at a time regardless of reloading the app or the chat bubble colors randomly get jumbled up. Random irrelevant wrong information shows up on maps.

ADOBE: sorry but i can only do that in an insane way now. here is a new layer and a vector for some reason

Two graphs showing sentiment and posts per minute, both 12 hour cycles

The sitewide sentiment of Bluesky consistently works in 12 hour cycles. That's not surprising - "shifts" and all that, right? - but it's an interesting glimpse of regional emotional temperature

I deleted the useful map app for reasons, planned to redownload & meanwhile just used my phone browser. EVERY TIME these comemierdas send me to the app store, & I have to click back. some things they won't let you do on mobile browser at all. Now I refuse to download the app again because fuck them.

(post from asimovsideburns) Klingon therapist: the battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind... Every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat

On a white plate against a blue sky background sits an omelet absolutely LOADED with pepperoni, balls of sausage, marinara sauce, melted cheese, peppers and onions

IHoP Coney Island Pizza Omelet (2024-2024): An omelet stuffed AND topped with pork sausage, green peppers, onions, crispy pepperoni, marinara sauce, and a 4-cheese blend, served with a choice of side. Part of a promotional menu for the Ryan Reynolds' film, "IF"

I have to carry a stool with me in some situations. It’s frustrating, but the prospect of my legs saying “nope” and just landing on the sidewalk is worse.
