"oh so you must really be into AI then?"

getting rid of useful URIs in exchange for less functionality and HTTPS seems like a pretty shit trade

my favourite thing about new BOM is how you cannot bookmark a location on the rain map and need to search & zoom every single fucking time #auspol

wish i could get my kids to play this

aw man, every year i plan to do a whisky advent calendar and i always forget until you're into yours

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

it's a very broadly distributed multinational, trying to get political traction here is like grasping at water unfortunately

yeah, i used it at my last job, thought i'd hate it but it works well with templating frameworks

i don't have that kind of influence at the new job, unfortunately

it's *infuriating*, we have "designers" here who only know how to mock shit up and *cannot* produce html/css, i keep getting these unachievable designs and any differences in the end result are seen as my failing

it's been a quarter century now and i still can't get CSS to fit in my head 😭

Really illuminating seeing who thinks Haha, You Clowns is "wholesome" and not a sniper shot from 200 yards into the eye of a certain type of upper middle class suburbs person.

i love* spending hours trying without success to get a web page to lay out correctly and then having it all snap into perfect place when i accidentally slap "display: flex" on a random container

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop

the democrats won't challenge actual power because it would reveal that they have none

helping maintain the illusion of a functioning government is the only thing keeping their voices heard right now

A red robed horseman with a skull face and stag's antlers rides through the forest, the horse rearing back, a shaft of light falling onto the scene

A red haired woman in a red dress and a boy in a blue doublet stand in front of a huge black cauldron. In the foreground, three cackling hags.

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

i don't think there's enough of them, i only ever remember there being one or two per class, whereas i've talked to a heap who support the ban lately

i think it's more the parents who watched too much tv as kids being hypocritical in a "my addiction wasn't as bad as yours" way

Now up to 44 reviews! Newest one's a bit long so just clipped the end of it. Glad to see they understood what we were going for, and you can leave whatever number you like if you're still putting it as Recommended.

The one-electron universe is the hypothesis that all electrons and positrons are actually manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time. It was proposed by theoretical physicist John Wheeler in a telephone call to Richard Feynman in the spring of 1940.

oh, you'd initially fix on the grin because how could you not but in your terror to get away from that girning rictus your attention would inevitably flick up to his eyes and out drains your sanity

i'd be hard pressed to intentionally come up with a worse first trip experience but i guess this is what it takes for the very rich to feel something

joining the war on AI on the side of bong joon ho

you're an elevatorpunk/taverncore fan too?

Caves of Qud - Steam Awards 2025

🍄 LIVE AND DRINK 💧

Just about 12 hours left to nominate us for some Steam Awards, all of which we're eligible for due to releasing less than a year ago

this has really staked the heart of my unevidenced belief that the world would be better if we just got everyone to trip balls

It’s so wild how the wealthy are destroying the Amazon that potentially has the cure for all the cancers in favor of an Amazon that’s creating new types of cancers

I'm sorry but you don't get to hold "moderate" views on ideologies or technologies that are overwhelmingly being used for evil right now, that doesn't make you intellectually superior, it just flags you as a sympathiser

whenever i see an ostensibly pro-environment account post slopgen images i just assume they're being paid to be obstructionist

Passengers is the one that haunts me the most for some reason

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Peter Weller as Bill Lee in David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, smoking a cigarette and sitting next to a bizarre alien like creature

I watched Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch: a movie about being a writer, internalized homophobia, and the disconnected relationship your body has with your mind. I think it is one of his best. A deeply unsettling film.
