"Don't kink shame…" Motherfucker, I will *always* kink shame the obnoxious foot weirdos when they are being weird. Like what you like, but keep it to yourself sometimes ya freaks.

An atheist requested a "religious accommodation" to refuse AI at work—and his university agreed. David Durman says generative AI conflicts with his Humanist beliefs. Kudos to @americanhumanist.bsky.social for making it happen! www.friendlyatheist.com/p/atheist-wi...

RIP The Southern Strategy. You were too sophisticated for the modern GOP.

Doc calling me out here… (I tease of course)

I had the absolute pleasure of watching this entire clip. The wildest part is when Tommy admits he wants American to be an explicitly Christian nation and doesn’t actually value freedom of religion. After getting absolutely bodied for four minutes he still takes that last haymaker right on the chin.

"lesbian" being a shadowbanned word on so many places is wild. I'm trying to promote my minis of lesbians defeating the nazis and THE ROBOTS DO NOT LIKE IT www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

Anyway I'm not giving up my em-dashes. Fuck off.

So apparently some Bionicle fans as well as a lot of NSFW artists here on Bluesky are sharing the #bonktober2026 tag and I've gotta say, makes for an…interesting feed.

Urge to eat candy corn rising…

Huh. While I'd heard the story before, I hadn't internalized her name. I think that might be one more tally mark in the "Rosalind" column… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalin...

Lol, so basically either side of where my apartment is these days. Oh well, I suppose by the time these are done the weather might be sufficiently cool enough on a regular basis to coax me out onto the bike again more often than not.

Counter-proposal to Sam Altman: Go fuck yourself www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Seems Transit Columbus did *not* get the note from @hausofdecline.bsky.social —I'm not sure the hyphen saves it. bsky.app/profile/haus...

So, who wants a Mordheim inspired game from the guy who wrote the rules for Warcry, Games Workshop’s best wargame for years? Because that’s what you can get* if you click this link. * well, the beta rules at any rate.

warhammer moving everything to the app is so goddamn infuriating i own an older, tiny phone because i do not use and do not care about apps. i am playing a board game. i want to do it with paper and books and cardboard doodads. i don't want my fucking phone out

Why it matters: 1 in 3 people in the U.S. are nondrivers, including people with disabilities, seniors, and folks who can't afford to drive or choose not to. WWD puts their needs in the spotlight and helps shape policies that get everyone where they need to go, regardless of how they move. 💪

Ah, it's "Figure out how to revert the dumb UI shit that Firefox pulled with its last update" Day again already is it? linustechtips.com/topic/164317...

In a bit of internet linguistics that annoys me only slightly less than rubes deciding that the Midwest utterance is spelled "ope" instead of its proper spelling "whoap", why do people call them "skeets" on this website when "bleets"—as in sheep—is right there?

Ah yes the two genders

As someone who was allowed to skate through high school on raw brain power rather than being made to actually develop, say, *actual studying skills* because of such programs, I agree with a certain amount of this sentiment.

To whomever put this up in the break room: Not funny. You're going to get us all sent for Processing. And while we're at it, this is why we don't sign contracts with EDEs without explicit authorization from the Ivory Tower.

Bold to attempt what another has already perfected.

I'm loving this 2E inspired terrain amped up to 11.

Trump’s new design for the arc de triumph seems a bit heavy handed.

I cannot quote post this hard enough…

In order to deal with the constant onslaught of destabilizing news, I have adopted an attitude of "therapeutic accelerationism." Any time some event happens that will be included in a history textbook as a portent of the dark times, I crack a cold one, sit back and think "all according to plan."

It's important to remind everyone that some absolute madlad, before LLMs ruined all mod voice acting forever, got a girl into a recording booth and redid every single voice line in Deus Ex to let you play as a girl www.moddb.com/mods/the-lay...

Is it a Nina Simone kinda night? When is it *not* a Nina Simone kinda night. youtu.be/xDo6n1Bdigc

Huh. I've caught a few of this author's shorts on YT covering urban foraging, this could be a cool event if there's still spots open.

I've been following Doc's advice for a while now because it's helped me a lot, but it's always worth having a reminder, especially as new paths wend their way into my purview.

I can just have a dumb idea and a week later have a bunch of stickers of it and this is dangerous power for me to have

Oof, feeling this, especially after spending most of yesterday running around doing medical care errands…

As a lesbian I heartily condone this strike and am willing to pick up any slack required.

You can always tell which Void Engineers were inspired to get into the field by Star Trek, because they're simultaneously the easiest to get along with on the job and the hardest to talk to about anything outside the job.

Ya know, it may have only been ten episodes, but goddam were they ten *spectacular* fucking episodes. May have to give the dub a go for a rewatch, but for now I'm just gonna enjoy the afterglow of best goddam adaptation we've ever had of this story. See ya net cowboy…

ENJOY YOUR LABOR DAY BUCKAROOS

Boooooooo…(appreciatively)boo I say.

I love that Galaxy Express 999 was this wildly successful children's series and every planet they visit on their whimsical adventure is either "the horrors of extreme poverty" or "crushing loneliness that no words can describe." A+
