Am thrilled to be hosting a certain motorcycle-riding rudderbutt this weekend, visiting from our neighboring state up north. It’s been too long!

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

EU citizens, this one is for you. This is not like US change dot org nonsense that doesn't actually do anything. This is an actual legal thing that if they get 1M+ signatures the EU commission has requirements
If you're an EU citizen, here's an EU Citizen's Initiative to stop mandatory age verification for you to sign. I'm doing my part This isnt just a petition, if they reach the 1 million signature goal the EU commission is required to address it seriously citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/...
Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!
Got a couple vaccines yesterday, for the flu and for this year’s Covid, and while I’m pretty darn tired the worst of it is the soreness of the muscle that received them. I’m practically itching to have someone punch it so that at least the ache is a little more spread out.
sam hyde is a known nazi asshole who is attempting to trick furries into participating in a big-brother-as-imagined-by-kiwifarms reality show. so if you or someone you know consider going to "furry meetup" in manhattan, for your own safety don't go
Y'all in nyc please be careful. Fishtank is trying to bait y'all.
Also, thank you @mugamma.bsky.social for teaching me that playing chase is a roadrunner courtship behavior:
Added (basically) the whole song and adjusted the animation speed to match the song better.
Just resigned as an instructor at the Gem and Mineral Society, and my Saturdays are free again!
Watched the Utena movie this weekend for the first time in decades, and my god, I’d forgotten just how good the music was in the series as a whole. Utena’s own theme is this beautiful, brash declaration of a piece: youtu.be/ReLf2Zii8N8

Brew day! This time around, we’re making one gallon of hard cider from heirloom apple juice, and Lalvin EC-1118 yeast. No idea what level of sugar to expect, but with this yeast it’ll definitely go dry. If this one goes well, I’ll look into some larger batches with some generic unfiltered cider

I’ve been having the urge, these last few weeks, to find a copy of Halloween 3 and watch it. Not sure if this is pure nostalgia, or if I just really want something silly and goofy
Note to self. The isles known as the Hebrides are not pronounced “He-Brides”
What if I pirate/buy second hand/etc. my Harry Potter stuff? You are still keeping her cultural relevance alive, which is how she keeps getting big money deals Also, you are immersing yourself in the creative output of a bigot. It is time to let it go. You are required to let it go.
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Every day I wake up, head to the office, sit down, do my tasks, and think longingly about all the hobby projects I could be working on at home. Then I get home and am too damn tired, hungry, or behind on chores, and the projects never progress.

I swear I’m getting sick more frequently post-covid. What the hell
Leaning on the local library to ensure the only cinema I consume is queer, and I love how that’s possible now. There sure as hell weren’t this many films when I was figuring myself out
