Bet this goes really hard if you’ve been kicked in the head by a horse

Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-range. https://bit.ly/4yHFEyK

Tom Watson, leaves parliament, gets a peerage, takes a job as a gambling lobbyist, parlays that into a job doing PR for Palantir… but don’t worry guys, he’s cool, remember that time he said he liked Drenge?

To be fair to the tog, it’s a decent shot. It’s keeps that drawing you back to Trump, his isolation, him moving slower than the world, him ignoring the obvious path. Dunno, it’s a vibe imo. I’d bet it’s entirely in camera too, although 50/50 on whether it was intentional.

I continue to be fascinated by the official photos released by the White House. This one looks like a high school student's artsy darkroom experiment.

I saw a liberal guy posting photos of Hunter Schaffer & Buck Angel with the caption “so you’re telling me: you want her in the gents & him in the ladies?” at a transphobe… And I get the impulse but no, TERFs want both Hunter Schaffer & Buck Angel dead. They want to exclude them from being alive

If I put some shit in a bucket, then the next day I put slightly less shit in the bucket, and the day after slightly less shit, I still have a very shitty bucket.

It is, fundamentally, an exercise of choosing the lesser evil, over and over and over again, so that the total amount of evil in the system decreases over time. And you must keep doing it, because - since evil is easy - good is easily reversed.

Forgive me if everyone already knows this but I recently learned: you can’t grow apple varieties from seeds, only via cuttings/grafts, so every Granny Smith tracks back to single tree (which grew in Australia in 1868). Wild.

Apples are just astonishingly better than when I was a kid and what you'd get at the grocery store were either mushy red delicious or lemon-sour granny smiths.

Did Digger again and I dunno man, it might be better second time out. Like it’s certainly a different movie, funnier, sadder, still exhilarating. I thought knowing the tricks it plays on you would lessen it but instead I felt like I was in on the con.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

What messes TERFs up is trans people are just out there living their best lives, and no matter how hard JKR and friends make it, trans folk still find love and joy and community, they still create art and beautiful noise. Terf brain can’t handle it, they must destroy what they don’t have.

Vampirium: 1997 isn’t in next fest, but while you’re in a wishlisting mood, I’d really appreciate you adding us too. Makes a big difference and helps us position ourselves better down the road :) Also I added pyromancy today. So that’s fun. store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

All the custom firmwares for synths nearly eroded my anti-AI barrier BUT then I watched a guy brick his MPC and it was restored

Sick of AI slop posters? Well, we're on a new level now... Decompiled, cloned, and modified software is going viral and might slopify everything—even your exercise bike. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social explains: Watch the full thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbG1...

He made the rape joke a year ago, did zero introspection for 12 months, then turned it into content yesterday. 100% get why people are giving the apology oodles of salt and a firm side-eye. I feel like when I’ve done something wrong I realise BEFORE I make the cute little insta layout of it.

Belfast comedian Vittorio Angelone – who has been criticised for making a rape 'joke' about a woman who had recently spoken publicly about being the victim of a sexual assault – has issued a statement 👇

I know nostalgia can be poisonous but sometimes you gotta remind yourself of all you’ve done… like I’m 1000+ shows, 11 albums, and 5 EPs deep at this point, not bad if I do say myself. 😹

Weird how all the “Twitter is good actually” dudes pay for monetisation features… almost like they have an incentive to get more users over there. 🤔

PS no shade to anyone involved with the last game here btw. Just vocalising the disappointment to get it out of my head. Part of getting the train back on the track is acknowledging how it got derailed in the first place.

Therapy work today and I realised just how much self-worth I pinned on the success of the last game. Poured everything into that OST, and it finally felt like proof that I was good at this, that maybe I deserved to be here 😹 Then boom, the game didn’t pop and I’ve not written a note since.

Not looking for sympathy here, this isn’t that kind of post, just exorcising the demons by naming them. “Imposter syndrome, doubt, capitalism… I cast thee out” 🕯️😹 The big thing though is accepting that being hopeful was good actually. That as much as it stings, the upside of hope is huge.

I’m clearly coming out of the tunnel now, and i can feel the creative energy and urge building… just wish it hadn’t taken me an entire year to climb back on the lightcycle ya know?

To make this sillier… we already banned choking / erotic asphyxiation in 2014 (along with fisting, facesitting, sadomasochism, ball busting etc) AND THEN unbanned it again in 2019 (as long as depiction was consensual).

The Anti-Christ Brosnahan@chrisbrosnahan.com

While very little of what the new UK porn bans talk about are things I'm into, I'm still uncomfortable with the idea. Consenting adults playing with fantasy with other consenting adults - that's not an area I think the law should be wandering into.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Don’t you dare threaten to withhold your vote in an attempt to sway a politician… what do you think this is, some kind of democracy?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Especially straight cis men imo. If we were to have any introspection of gender and how masculinity is enforced, we might realise how trapped we are, how masculinity controls thru coercion, and that being a “man” is something we were groomed into.

Katelyn Burns@katelynburns.com

Cis people are fucking WEIRD about their genders

Social Media is trash, but my odds of seeing holocaust denial, child porn, doxxing of rape survivors (amongst other things) dramatically increases the moment I open the Twitter app… so why would I open the Twitter app? “Oh X is good now” sorry buddy I’d rather not get my news from a CP site.

I wish I could’ve read Ender’s Game before I knew what Orson Scott Card was like, because the question “how did that homophobic arsehole write this?” absolutely plagued me through out. (Grabbed it at a charity shop, so no cash lined OSC’s pockets)

Nic Cage named himself after Luke Cage (Power Man) and John Cage (the composer), which says something about him as a person imo………. I however named myself after my own testicles and I’m absolutely not going to attempt any introspection about that.

Way too many “look at this thing I found on Twitter, doesn’t it make you mad/sad” posts on Bluesky imo… like I could’ve stayed put if I wanted to wallow in ragebait.

To be fair, I only sold 125 copies of my last album… but then I didn’t have the entire weight of British media behind me, so maybe things aren’t so bleak 😹

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.

Have you wishlisted Vampirium: 1997 on steam today? No? Really? Come on now. No. I’m not linking it. Find it yourself, it’s the least you can do. Disgusting.
