i guested on a good podcast to talk about @mothership.blog!! check it out. @404media.co is awesome btw, if you like mothership you should be reading 404 as well

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

17 indie developers who are making games about messy, sometimes toxic, queer romance A series of profiles of participants in the Toxic Yuri Visual Novel Jam and other similar game jams

“We felt that there were not enough yuri visual novels with extreme themes we were particularly into, so we decided to take it into our own hands.”

Meet 17 queer developers working on "less sugary" and, yes, even "toxic" and "bleak" wlw romance games:

I'm pretty much exactly the same on all these. Sigh.

BTW I had a lovely dream that I hung out with you & Becky 😂 maybe this summer when we're in town, it could be real? 💕

I disassociated.

Until I forced myself to write it out 15 years later.

The book is called The Hollow Girl.

Now that they’re safe on the ground we.. ocean, I can make a joke

OMG ARTEMIS IS IN TROUBLE WE’RE GETTING REPORTS OF A GIANT CAT BATTING THEM OUT OF THE SKY OH THE HUMANITY

Also really undermines their ruse of abstinence based education. I hate it!!!!!

An interview with ME SEN Candidate David Costello “We’ve never been as democratic as we should be.”

I interviewed David Costello, who is running for Maine Senate in the D primary. He’s got strong progressive views—and he has never had a Nazi tattoo. I think it’s unfortunate the D party has largely ignored him; I hope ME voters give him a look. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/an-intervi...

so psyched to see this!! star-studded roster, amazing pitch, cool name... hell yeahs all around

ok who is the Sailor Moon funny person nerd that brought Artemis to Artemis II

How do I stop getting motion sickness from video games? "I turn out to get really motion sick, and sometimes get visual migraines, especially from first person games."

we got a question into @mothership.blog's advice column Dear Mother that i was extremely suited to answer!! please enjoy my manifesto on how to combat motion sickness from games www.mothership.blog/how-do-i-sto...

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

Also: my sister's male journalist colleagues got verified way faster than she did, back on twitter. Likewise, I think both of her male podcast cohosts have Wikipedia pages and she does not. Such a mystery (I think she actually enjoys not being on Wikipedia as a woman in video games journalism)

The Reference Sqaud

🐈 New comic: You Have Cats?🐈

I got the audiobooks from the library a year or two ago and they are Very Good. Excited to read these with the kiddo someday soon!

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly

(@ wildheartrescue on TT)

Comic based off a tumblr text post about a guardian angel. The angel's dialogue is as follows: "it's meee I'm your guardian angel hiiiiii 😇 okay🙏 so. in about six months, you're gonna die of starvation. 🥺 and if I don't protect you, I will get: #fired! 🫢 and that is No Good 🙅‍♀️ hahaaa So. 🙏 I looked into causes of starvation, and it turns out: Your death is totally preventable! 😯 Uh oh! 😆 There's more than enough food to sustain you without interfering with anyone else's survival, but you're not allowed to have it!"

Continuation of the comic, the angel says: "🤨 Whaaat? 🤷‍♀️ Apparently, your death is premeditated by thousands of things called "shareholders." So. 🙏 I've been killing people," with an art style change from cartoonish to devious anime girl when she claims to be killing people.

I love this text post so I drew it

This site is full of people posting ACAB and “Fuck the police” and Abolish Cops and whatever, but it’s not hyper-aggressive posturing that affects whether you’re going to live in a surveillance state, it’s the people sitting through your three hour MuniOps meeting.

getting a nazi tattoo is a stand on the issues, you putz.

he's also used homophobic slurs, boasted about how he likes colonial wars, said racist garbage, claimed that women who are sexually assaulted are at fault. 1

this does not mean to only elevate marginalized people when they are being harassed. this means uplifting and supporting marginalized writers all the time, and then when they inevitably get blowback, telling people to fuck off.

Donate to Support for a friend making a big move in April, organized by Liadan Ryland Hello everyone, My name is Lia, and I’m starting this fundra… Liadan Ryland needs your support for Support for a friend making a big move in April

Hi all, a dear friend needs to complete a massive move on an extremely tight deadline, and could use some help. For safety reasons, they need to stay anonymous. I super appreciate any help and shares on this fundraiser: gofund.me/6e78446d3

This is for a dear friend of ours. The goal is incredibly manageable. It will result in this person embarking on a new chapter of their life in a safe and coherent manner in spite of a rapid displacement.

I appreciate your eyes and shares and help.

That does explain the American flags suit though.

😭😭😭 I'm so upset!!!!!!

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

Logos for HBOMax, Telegraph, Gmail, Google, YouTube, and Netflix that have all been redesigned to look like they're from the 1980s.

Kinda in love with these tech logos redesigned with a 1980s look by Kostya Petrenko (@kxdgraphics on Instagram). He's got a bunch more, too:
