I can confirm that AI Ben Garrison is incredible ;) Ben, you can retire. (Gemini 3 Pro prompt: "Create a comic in the style of Ben Garrison that parodies the viewpoints of Ben Garrison. Pick a particular topic and take it to humorous extremes")

styled-components maintenance mode doesn't have to mean panic mode. Our engineer @codey.bsky.social made performant community forks. Linear's already seeing 40% faster renders with zero code changes. Not a permanent fix, but it buys you time to migrate properly. www.sanity.io/blog/cut-sty...

Unless you are willing to remain in unending, perpetual conflict with virtually the entire social structure of the platform, staying on Twitter WILL POISON YOUR THINKING WITH BIGOTRY AND NATIVISM. It will creep in. You will start thinking in their terms because the only alternative is constant war.

This is very good. If you have the time, be sure to submit some actual feedback to counter the vocal minority trying to enable platform manipulation by scammers.

you have my vote, Andrew Cuomo!

From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/

Some good fuckin reporting on extremely likely institutional cowardice and capitulation to fascism by the National Geographic Society. defector.com/why-did-nati...

It very literally does not make any sense to be mad at the single-digit team of people who run Itch over this. They would very much like to be able to let people sell transgressive smut, as evidenced by the fact that they allowed people to sell transgressive smut until fascists tattled to Mastercard

This is so funny I kept waiting for the reveal it was all a bit.

At this point just posting Mazda Porters to help the TL

I do not see why payment processors are still doing business with X. These are not isolated incidents and this is not even a user content issue (though it also is that) — the owner of the platform is changing one of its features explicitly to promote white nationalism. How is this not brand risk??!

Note the subtle use of single, double, and even triple neon tubes on this wonderful piece of mid-century cursive.

Tragic. Last year’s “gameplay” video was a Deus Ex successor too good to be true — and turns out it was.

NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk. “When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.” The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children. Don’t ever forget.

Ballerina. 💃

It's "Make a Terrible Comic Day," and cousin, I sure tried

Starfield reminded me when I used to go onto the NASA archives and find all the photos that were never published on the main site because they weren't topical, just hardware bathed in stark orbital light

And I thought this day couldn’t get any better.

We love to see it.

people get mad at me when I say this but it's a Serious Problem for bluesky's long-term viability that the userbase actively tries to bully people they don't like off here

dragon lady next to me at the second life rave was too close and her wings kept clipping through my player model. I didn't mind but she apologied each and every time it happened. chat was filled with hundreds of variations of "oop sowwie >_<!! xoxo" and "uaah! not again! orz" by the end of the night

What many of us warned, & what is unavoidably clear now, is that there is no privileged sphere of "real life" that is sheltered, separate from the information environment. It's narratives all the way down -- even to the point that they shape *how people experience their own material circumstances*.

Kojima: I was reading Catcher In The Rye and it moved me. I emailed JD Salinger and he agreed to be scanned for DS2. Reporter: That’s.. How did you Kojima: all our souls are separated by a “Caul Field.” I think JD’s performances as Ryeman and Catcherman will impress everyone.

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Oh wow, devastating. It was pretty clear for a while that the management thought it was underperforming, but still — didn’t expect Vox to just mercilessly dump one of their founding verticals like this. Polygon really raised the bar for what game media could be.
