BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

The Democratic establishment LOVED this guy, and thought he could be President. Contrast that with how they’ve treated our current Mayor

Jessy Edwards@jessyedwards.bsky.social · 2d ago

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

what people are missing about the whole tarik skubal situation is that no baseball player is any better than any other baseball player. some were for quite a long time, but in 1979 the lord struck down one and all and condemned them to wear only one glove. now they're all wretches in god's sight

i feel like most people have rightfully covered the sliminess of the human and the statement, but.. whoever did the staging for this shoot and decided a bloody boot print was a good choice to be right over his shoulder also needs to be fired.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

i fully agree with this - but also think that a BIG component of this is that games marketers have to get much better at selling weird, cool, and different stuff a lot of the hiccup in funding right now is a publisher being unclear, unsure or incapable of selling a game that's off the beaten path

Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · 3d ago

Just to be clear on this article, the position I took isn't "developers need to be more brave" but "funding needs to be more brave". Developers make all the cool stuff, just because they want to - the funding side hits it with market research and fear and growth targets and shareholders.

yeah like this

WIFE: (MFA from RISD) I thought a lot of her points were astute, even if her obvious bias for classics made a poor replacement for film criticism specifically, you know? ME: (just found out only yesterday that flies aren't food) I don't feel good. I can still feel some of them moving inside of me.

this is troubling! we can’t rely on either detection software or “hunches” because people are biased; consider the handwringing about “proper” language, what constitutes the “literary,” etc. it’s already a pattern that it’s being used against writers of color — 3 Black authors, in this case.
