Amazing statistic. Of course Amy and I are two of those. And no, not all moved to Seattle, as some choose Chicago or elsewhere.

Digital painting of a man and a merman, sitting on a window by the beach. The merman is cupping the human's cheek and they are sharing a longing glance at each other.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase โ€˜Call me Ishmaelโ€™, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen โ€˜His nameโ€™

common mistake it isnt jesters privilege if you take yourself seriously. that's just being an asshole or worse, a stand up comedian. the reason a jester has that privilege is because trying to argue with them looks like fistfighting a clown. like what youre gonna get mad about what a clown thinks?

hi, I worked in indie games for 10 years and sorry, they're also burning down. you just don't hear about it because it doesn't make the news when a studio of 19 lays off 7, even when it's 200 small studios doing that

Illustration of the show twin peaks. The setting is inside the black lodge, next to a lamp post with a strong light source is a statue, two hands in a strange formation & a cup of coffee turned upside down pouring out. Underneath is dale cooper walking next to a mirror image of himself. The doppelgรคnger is looking at the viewer with one shining eye. At the top left and bottom right corners are a symbol of two triangles, representing the two mountain peaks of twin peaks

lrt kentucky route zero is mostly about choosing one out of three things and it is the best game of several generations

the secret to game design is that as much as players may claim otherwise they all love choosing one out of three things

a huge part of why i agreed to make a puzzmo mini crossword every day for a month is that crossword puzzles seem to be one of the actual battlefields for getting my peer group to stop giving money to the NYT

in an illuminated sky, two long serpentine white dragons with curly antennae and many wings are touching their snouts together. they are smiling and gently embracing each other with their wings.

fascists want you to have no energy to engage in anything but menial labor and consumption. your ability to think on your own terms is a threat. nurture it.

we keep being advertised a world where nobody has to do anything challenging anymore but also one where disabled people are hidden from view and put down like stray cats. to push against a vile future, we must continuously learn from the past and assert ourselves in kind. then, teach.
