still too often, you can sleep across the street from me if you ever visit

I send anything I see/read about horses to a particular friend, and I always get horse facts in response, so I submit to you the following goodness, including, yes, "horse-safe cakes"

I'm sorry, that's two incidents in three days?? You finally flipped your witch-power switch, yowza!

Real answer: BTS

But the reeeeeeal answer:

I just saw a teenager walk by wearing a Call of Duty: Black Ops II t-shirt. He couldn't have been more than 3 yrs old when that came out.

If you need me for the next few hours, I'll be sanding my coffin.

The solution? Either journalism at large finds a more sustainable path to supporting writers (lolol) or AI gets regulated into oblivion (lolololol).

This is but a smidge of why a hard-working journalist might allow text extrusion ("AI") into their workflow. Overworked writers + corporate AI mandates + less young-staffer development + articles-per-week mandates + more. The rot has already set in at your fave news org. (Royal "I" in this vid.)

Barboza, in the basement of Neumo's. Sold out, incredible crowd energy. I wonder if she'll play rooms this small ever again.

Welp, tonight's Gelli Haha show in Seattle just went into my lifetime top 25 list, easily. I've probably watched every Gelli Haha concert video on YT, and I still wasn't prepared for how great her Haha Squad would be live. Go see Gelli Haha if you can!!

(ugh I meant cello graphics) (I swear I'm sophisticamated)

in this house, we eschew vibe-coded Spotify slop stations in favor of programmatic classical as paired with tiny self-playing violin graphics

MiSTer, the open-source ecosystem of console/PC preservation, has finally reached a tipping point of running the system nobody was asking for: the Panasonic 3DO. In this house, that means it's time for Sid Meier's CPU Bach. (This weird shit remains a 3DO exclusive over 30 yrs later.)

We got our NES hella early, and it came with black-box Baseball - woooooof. But nothing will ever beat the horror of Ikari Warriors 2. A slow, ugly flicker-fest that includes at least one hard-lock on original NES hardware, which is why my brother and I never beat it, God help us.

there are way bigger fish to fry, is one way of looking at it. but, another way, is that 2026 sucks enough without turning my dog into the "AHHH!!!AHHH!!!AHHH!!!" machine for no good reason

my most recent interaction ended with a deliveryman telling me, "your neighbor said to buzz other units, I have to do what the customer requests." what?? what if they ask you to assault or shoot me, Kevin? what then? (related: if you're looking for a Seattle hitman...)

hey Seattle: how do I file a formal "stop incorrectly buzzing my apartment" notice about Amazon drivers, when Amazon's reps say "we can't help you unless you're a customer?" is this a police thing? Better Biz Bureau? Where does the "consequences for unnecessarily riling my dog" buck stop?

not everything sucks. Jeopardy X YouTube go hard on LGBTQIA+ advocacy in their first-ever official collab episode. it's a fun ep! it's a good excuse to watch @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social with kids!

I'm sorry are they Miss Cleo-ing this shit

ahhhhhhh this is food!! we are feasting on your bounty, Star!! thank you for sharing all of this 💙🩷🤍🩷💙

and the Bobbledumper!!!

this picture doesn't have enough ferry-shaped food receptacles in it, so I'm only scoring it 9/10

worm character from the video game series Worms waves a flag with blue, pink, and white stripes

in one of the more touching+nerdy Trans Visibility Day things I've seen today, a poster at ResetERA opted to tell their coming-out story - and the creator of the Worms video game series appeared soon after to share this image of his game's character waving a Trans Rights flag. 💙🩷🤍

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.

Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.

Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

A great example of how amazing the people are over at Polyarc, sorry to hear the news today about layoffs.

I had put them in my - don't worry about space - in my head... so talented and still just so hard to fund continued work in this environment.

Today we shared some very difficult news at Polyarc. After an unsuccessful team-wide effort to secure funding following the cancellation of a major project, we had to make the decision to significantly reduce the size of the company. This means we’re saying goodbye to many talented people who have been a meaningful part of what we’ve built. We want to thank everyone impacted. Your work, creativity, and care mattered. We made wonderful games together, and we would not have made it this far without you. Your contributions will continue to shape our culture and the games we make. Polyarc is home to exceptional developers across all disciplines. If you are hiring, please contact us. We are happy to make introductions. We’ll also share a spreadsheet in the next few days with information about those impacted and provide a link. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.

Game industry brutality continues with Seattle's @polyarcgames.com laying off "2/3" of its staff, according to one affected staffer who also described a "third party publishing hail mary" that didn't come through. Put out the word if you know of any opportunities for Seattlites looking for work.

you'll have to answer the question: izze good?

This result for writers is a matter of "when," not "if." Text extrusion engines aaaalways fold toward "trusted" words - ie, published ones. Never use 'em. Never fall for the moments when they seem to fart out above-the-board text. Not even for research or ideation. AI-bstinence.

apparently they ran out in 20 seconds (or this is an old promotion)
