Recieved a powerful throwback to when our book club selected Confederacy of Dunces and just universally did not finish it. We frequently had someone not finish, but rarely has a book situated exusively from "hated it" to "didn't care for it"

Okay. If I’m 15 percent of the way through A Confederacy of Dunces, and more than 15 percent of the way to permanently damaging my eyes from rolling them so frequently, should I give up? Or does it get more pleasant or insightful?

Programming tip: never type out a 10-character command when you could instead press the up arrow for 5 minutes until you find that command in your history

people get at me like "oh, let things happen without stating my opposition? that's hiding your head in the sand!" no bro it is not. that would be true of legislation, state action, injustice. hand-waving art that makes art worse is not "letting it continue." it's assisting in its extinction

"This isn't an official Warhammer 40k RPG, but it's very well put together - I haven't played Chapter Serf yet, but oh boy do I want to." There's that pull quote! CHAPTER SERF got some press from Wargamer holy shit. Thanks @tjohnlinward.bsky.social ! www.wargamer.com/chapter-serf...

Play as the wretched background weirdos from Warhammer 40k artwork in this free indie RPG

In 'Chapter Serf' you get a worm's eye view of Warhammer 40,000, playing as a lowly peon with dangerous duties aboard a Space Marine voidship.

Didn’t expect, but I really hate the #mtgatla bonus sheet cards. The lowest possible effort AND they look bad. I expect they’ll be the cheapest available version for most of these cards.

over the weekend I did a powerpoint presentation about exactly the subject you'd expect from me

This is a real “or barbarism” situation. Value the work you wish to reward. With dollars and clicks and attention and time. Or suffer the consequences of the world you’ve built.

Good thing for this idiot that history started in ‘93! Completely ignoring the fact the military integrated ten or fifteen years before segregation ended is a wild choice! It was a huge deal for society! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/o...

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.
