A Gallup popularity chart showing the Pope at +46, Bernie at +11, AOC at -4, Trump at -16, Musk at -28.

A Gallup popularity chart showing the Pope at +46, Bernie at +11, AOC at -4, Trump at -16, Musk at -28.

Two most popular politicians on this list are Bernie (the rare double-digit positive opinion) and AOC. Elon Musk is one of the most unpopular people in the world.

I want to know who at microsoft put a bunch of options at the top of the screen when you drag a window that change the shape of the window when you roll over them. well done there is no situation where I might want to place a window up there

With ongoing pressure campaigns, not everyone can push 100% all the time

If you and maybe a friend or two can jump in "late"? You give people a chance to recharge their batteries, so they can take over again once you need to recharge yours

Its a marathon, not a race

AGAB language went wrong when it drifted rhetorically from describing a social process ("I was assigned male at birth") to describing a quality of a person ("I am AMAB").

people don't want to hear it but napstablook got into NFTs. I'm sorry. your goat is washed

yeah, royal guard is basically the old fashioned version of cop. napstablook on the other hand, imo, went the "chill vibes DJ to cop" pipeline which is more common than people think

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

opportunism, imo. he sees a demographic with no representation and he swoops in

every few weeks the people in charge of this dying franchise will attempt to give it a shot in the arm and it only makes everyone mad. even the fans don't want the new series

this is the biggest sinking ship I have seen in pop culture ever. it's like if star wars went down. and britain is scrambling as much as it can to attempt to save it from certain doom

I would love to see harry potter fumble its dead cert position as a beloved timeless british icon. it was almost guaranteed being beloved for 100 years and it's going to barely scratch 20

they're doing this because stephen fry is tepidly reversing course on supporting her btw

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

I'm already making my 2030 plans. that's how efficient this machine is

all the projects currently on the go:
music [title not yet public]: 2025.
supernaturalerotic flights-of-fancy: 2026.
amy in artland: 2027 (let's be real here)
night games: future date beyond that, possibly the 2030's

the current backlog of work goes all the way up to 2027 in terms of releases. gadzooks! the idea of starting a game in 2022 and releasing it in 2027 makes me want to throw up

05.08.2025 15:35 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

cause there's so much of SEFOF already I may also see what I can do about releasing the game in an uncompleted state on patreon before the year is out... I think it might be quite delightful

05.08.2025 15:33 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

because in addition to SEFOF i gotta do my rap's. and that's going to take some months too. what I did was: plan out a schedule for SEFOF that ignored music work entirely to see how long it would take. answer is: still quite long! music hopefully this year, and that'll be the only thing

ok so PLANS: it will be impossible to complete SEFOF this year EVEN IF I summoned a great energy from nowhere and crunched on it from now til december. it's coming out in 2026

don't underestimate time management as a skill. I've thrown myself into the wind in some projects and lost sight of it, taking months. and conversely, I've spent a whole day drawing up plans followed by completing something in a week.

even AI companies tell you to double-check the things AI tells you. so all it's ultimately done is add one more unreliable source at great expense

reminded of the behaviour of my late UKIP nan one christmas, when she'd been politely asked beforehand not to mention politics. she brought a fucking petition and demanded we all sign it (we did not)

I want to see the dawning horror of this guy as he realises that when you put a bunch of nazis in a social setting they behave like twats, and will talk politics regardless of if you tell them not to

this is the centrist power fantasy- they went to do this not to make people get along but because it gives them the opportunity to feel like the wise, above-it-all, sane, mediator of the wailing masses

if it's true the Wizard of Oz sphere was done by humans instead of AI but *advertised* as AI that's a bit like having a chocolate factory and advertising your chocolate as being made from dogshit
