You're not. Greetings!

Stranger Things was quite a case of steady decline - S1 brilliant, S2 excellent, S3 good, S4 at best okay. 'Vecna' was the worst decision because the main draw had been based on horror of the unknowable eldritch, and now it's just some evil wizard you can punch.

One of my ongoing frustrations with software engineering as a professional practice is that LLMs were in no way the thing that caused this (though they do exacerbate it). Every company I’ve seen in my career fetishized producing solution-shaped objects for problems they didn’t (care to) understand.

Normally, every Sunday, I'm a little sad I can't make it.

This week just became an exception. 😝

Both the dog’s cool confidence and the cat’s bitchiness are hilarious.

When the great lines of cinema are discussed no one ever brings up Kevin Bacon in Tremors exclaiming, β€œI found the ass end!” Because in that moment I really BELIEVED he’d located the ass end of a Precambrian life form buried beneath the desert. Like, he and the writer delivered that reality to me.

I'd rather talk to Gandalf, so I'll book seat 3 and offer to switch with Sam and YOU KNOW HE WILL TAKE IT.

"gaming is dead"

My dude gaming has never been more alive. Ya just gotta stop hoping that big studios are gonna stop shitting on their own dicks out of greed, and go look at smaller dev teams and indie devs

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social Here's 'buttinghill.bsky.social', a minimally-used account attached to yet another pure anti-trans hate site. There's literally nothing else here but committed transphobia.

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social Here's 'daosorios.bsky.social' deliberately spreading anti-transgender hate propaganda in one of TWO languages he does this in. This one's committed.

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social Here's 'ppennell.bsky.social' spreading serious transphobic propaganda. Not his obsession, but also something he's done more than once.

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social You may want to look into the dormant hate group account Helen is describing here.

Sure, but that's hardly surprising. Philosophy, out of all the humanities, is the one most easily treated as a study of old European guys and ancient Greeks, the one that teaches formalized argumentation disconnected from actual lived experiences.

No wonder it produces solipsists.
