How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it.

Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior.

Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

I'm in love with this little thing, had no idea emulation handhelds were this good now

Basically nothing matters until you can finish a comic. Doesn't have to be long but I talk to so many people who ask how they can pitch to a publisher and I'm sorry but the abstract idea isn't important. Publishers only want to know if you can do a beginning, middle and end and get it done on time.

A screenshot of WhatsApp: Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know Ash: Are jaguar soft? Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

this isn't as fun as some others BUT

if you're sharing your comic for free, someone's gonna complain about something unimportant at some point, the schedule, the style, a color choice etc. and I NEED you to know

that you can tell them to give you a million dollars to do it to their specifications

A sample of text from a scenario XML file from the Nintendo DS video game "House M.D."

Dr. House, M.D. looking at a chocolate bar

House, M.D. on the Nintendo DS seems to be entirely driven by .xml files, uses normal .png files for textures, and normal .wav for its sounds. If you were so inclined, you could probably easily put together a ROM hack that adds new cases or even make a total […]

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

I know that Incredibles 2 is really contentious as a sequel to the original, but NGL, Dicker saying "Politicians don't understand people who do good simply because it's right. It makes them nervous." lives rent free in my head.

SEE ICE? Call the LUCE Hotline (617-370-5023) to verify & keep us all safe

A tapestry of a snarling tiger head with a huge open mouth. The tiger is blue and teal with bright pink gums, light pink teeth and bright yellow green ovals for eyes. Some yarn on the cheeks has been fastened with larks head knots to make whiskers stick out and dangle down.

a cold weather tip from my childhood in Rochester: alternate layering. Im wearing one pair of light socks, over that are a pair of leggings, over that a pair of heavy socks, over that my pants.

meme of Gordon Ramsay with lightning coming out his eyes and his arms crossed against a stormy background that reads: "YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF... NOW!"

The entire creative industry to the entire creative class every day of 2025:

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist
