instagram redesigned their logo? big whoop

real crazy how repulsed people are about sex when its literally how life was made. like damn. I got love and sex to thank for me being here. that's nuts. I think I'll celebrate it while the prudes sit in the corner preaching about "nuclear families" or whatever they talk about after a boring 9 to 5

yeah it just feels like a lot of people feel too prude and cant see it in any other light

Being perceived as “horny” is almost as great a sin in people’s minds as it was to be seen as “cringe” in the 2000’s Like hey your world is not gonna crumble if you see some skin, and the only people who would judge you for rebuking sexuality are unfun and extraordinarily wack

putting aside that puritanism is obviously bad, i feel like i need to tell these people that boobs are not inherently sexual. no, not even if they're large.

totally agree. imo it really comes down to: "sex makes me uncomfortable" = valid and understandable vs "characters expressing femininity is bad" = misogyny

also, the way people view sexuality and the idea of feeling sexual feelings as a bad thing by default. being sexual in any aspect, or sexuality being shown being viewed as a "loss of respect from others," and things like that. i don't think i'll ever really get it

Gen Z kids; you have a fantastic opportunity to troll older people by posting things like 'is it really true that people used to have sex in the past?'

The results of the video I posted earlier was this iconic shot 👏 Danny León and his crew smashed it.

That "balanced" press coverage is not the same as "objective" coverage. It's nearly the opposite.

Seinfeld paved the way for the antihero drama and reality TV. Those genres led to our current political moment.

It's so cute when people on the east coast talk about mountains

listen if there was actually a big skull shaped asteroid in the sky it *might* get my attention, yeah

Interesting new data

Hey everybody. I’ve seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he’s lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game.

The part that gets me: the round dapples under any tree were always pinhole images of the sun, every one of them, round because the source is. Nobody notices until an eclipse turns the whole ground into crescents and gives away that the shade had been rendering the sun the entire time.

Hey @bsky.support @support.bsky.team your AI is falsifying election results again

does bluesky's trending algorithm have a crystal ball or are the votes secretly rigged because the election hasn't finished yet. the polls literally just opened.

we literally stand on the shoulders of giants. towering figures who have exited the world. fierce intellects who believed things like "you can ban or regulate dangerous stuff" and "societies can rein in excesses," and "peace is generally preferable to war and chaos." may as well have been aliens

Sadly they all died out less than 100 years ago, before writing was invented, so we can only speculate about their wisdom

a science fiction trope. the many stories where mankind has long lost the ability to understand the great machines that power their world. darkly humorous to see that the knowledge we've lost is "how to live in community with each other." these scribblings on the tablets faded and inscrutable now

what insane freak invented, say, the public library. or the public school. or the "sidewalk." if such were among us today we would need to dissect them and study their brains. we are closer to worms than we are to such beings now

god you know what the stink is on this? it stinks of medium fish in a small pond. it stinks of the kind of utterly rotted-from-the-inside-out small business tyrant you can get in relatively insular local dev scenes

this CEO comment is how you know with 1000% certainty Stella is right

also Stella basically reinvented the game as far as mobile game narratives go and is constantly imitated so way to display a stunning degree of ignorance about games in general on top of showcasing what the inside of a used jockstrap would sound like if it gained sentience

I am starting to construct a new theory about ricky gervais which is that he is of course a vegetarian and feels very strongly about it and yet his entire bit is getting angry at sanctimonious woke SJW's. I wonder if what he truly hates is himself

To be fair this is pretty on brand because what is Gamescom if not your annual pilgrimage into Deutsche Bahn hell 💀

Holy shit: Deutsche Bahn has made the insane decision to stop all train traffic between Düsseldorf and Cologne... during the week of Gamescom.
