There are few greater feelings of belonging than going to a favorite lunch spot after you haven't been there in a long time and they still remember your order 🥰. Shout outs to Med Deli!

It's impressive how many ethical quandaries can be solved by asking yourself, "Would Weird Al be cool with this?"
Steven Santos@stevensantos.bsky.social · 2w agoGuess who had the integrity not to accept $1 million to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival last year?
He's credited by Japan's cultural historians as having personally saved enormous amounts of folklore from being completely lost, too. Hundreds of yokai legends are only known now because he collected them from remote communities that are themseles often gone.

Appreciate Spain and Argentina paying tribute to the New York Jets by doing absolutely nothing on a Sunday afternoon in the meadowlands.
you stupid mother fucker (markwayne not eugene) we tricked the entire world into sending their smartest hardest working people here and then tricked those same people into staying permanently instead of going back to their home country you are BLOWING UP OUR SPOT

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3w agoRFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."
A game mechanic from Silksong that more games should have is that at any point you can start playing a musical instrument and sometimes even evil monsters jam along to it
it is not a coincidence that the founders viewed robust public education as essential for a functional democracy.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 3w agoIt’s incredible that people this dumb get the same number of votes as you do.
stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.
Alex Aronson@alexaronson.bsky.social · 3w agoAmy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.
“You haven’t watched [latest show]? Aww man how could you -“ There is too much media to consume, that’s why. There are new shows, new games, new books, and new movies constantly coming out and I only get an hour a day maybe to freely consume any of it, and instead I’ve chosen to doomscroll then nap
what it feels like talking to people within my industry about said industry right now:
You can’t own anything physical anymore, everything is digital, you can’t own anything digital now, storage is too expensive, you cant stream anything because they took it off the service once their parent company got bought out, you can’t get a McFlurry because the machine is broken
They should invent a new games industry with more jobs and no layoffs.
He could strangle a teenager on camera and they would say he “defied a long-held tradition of presidents not doing that”
"AI is inevitable!! It's here to stay!! Can't put the genie back in the bottle!! You can't stop progress!!! But uhhhh... if we had to legally obtain the resources needed to run our business AND unless we make trillions in profits AND unless you give up your drinking water, we're kinda toast 🥺"
“It would basically kill the AI industry overnight”: Nick Clegg thinks asking artists for use permission is a bad thing
Nick Clegg says a requirement to ask artists for express permission to use their work to train AI models would “basically kill the AI industry in this country overnight”.

In my opinion hardwood Democrats who don't want to be replaced shouldn't have sucked shit for so long without listening to everyone screaming at them about it. We need to see so many of them replaced in so many primaries. Every time it happens is cause for hope and should cheer people everywhere.
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · last mo.Grimly amusing Dem machines think they deserve some sort of entitlement hierarchy. My entire life, everything has been moving backwards, politically, democratically, bureaucratically, judicially. You are all failures. You are presumptively part of the rot that must be removed down to the root.

If US politics are confusing to you: the Republican party is a christofascist corporate placebo of a political party using violence, fraud, & corruption to prop up billionaires & enact Armageddon. The Democratic party is currently panicking that democracy keeps electing the wrong popular Democrats.
Smashed three car windows already to save dogs from the heat. Haven’t found any yet but I’m not giving up.
Game devs, pre-empt layoffs and stay connected with those on your immediate team. If the worst happens and you're all let go, consider forming a co-dev team. A group of experienced engineers, UI/UX specialists, designers, or narrative can be valuable as a small strike team taking on short contracts.
