Discord is washed. You need to migrate to Meep. Brindle is good but in early access. Goop is promising but hasn't released their IPO. And definitely avoid Scringle, they've got ties to Sproink

On the origins of 'woke' | The Past Most of us would guess that this was a word of recent coinage, but it first occurred in the lyrics of a 1938 song by the blues singer Lead Belly

Since this came up today in a chat I was in, have info on the origin of the word "woke" before it became a dogwhistle and sign of hating diversity and inclusion. #BHM

One of my favorite things about the Fifth Element is that nobody ever calls an alien an alien. To my memory no one ever utters the word alien at all, at any point in the movie. The mondoshawan and mangalores are just equal players in the story, everyone is in awe of the diva, they're just people.

I swear, the one thing all these "people of power" have in common is being small and petty and joyless.

All the power and wealth at their fingertips and they refuse to get past that fact that people don't love them for being rich.

Not that they do anything to earn it. And they really could. Sad.

honestly still pretty happy with this game even tho i made it 6 years ago. cleaned up some terms (bonuses/weaknesses instead of perks/flaws? what was 2020 calvin thinking) and formatting, but otherwise it's still pretty solid!

Check it out if you want to roleplay as scifi marines with your friends

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Man on a local news street interview: The earth is a resort for like 500 rich people and the rest of us are just the staff.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.

It's fucking creepy how I'll be talking to my brother about how they recompiled sonic unleashed then I get the game's entire OST recommended all of the sudden

Not to mention cases where Walmart knew of a teen's pregnancy because her parents did because of what she was ordering and sent her coupons

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

One of the most interesting things here is how short-sighted the big companies have been. They have stopped trying to be useful and so people are now actively looking for alternatives they wouldn't have even considered 6 months ago.

Swords Without Master A ttrpg of strange sorceries, ferocious deeds, and astounding wonder by Epidiah Ravachol.

I spent so much time over the last decade wringing my hands about putting together a stand-alone version of Swords. Largely because I didn't have the resources to do it justice and I was worried there wouldn't be the interested to justify it.

What a fool I was.

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.

Copper evolution line!

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math.

$3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr

calvin's dad meme where he says all summoner battler manga are either Rozen Maidens or Pokemons.

Fate/Stay Night? Rozen Maiden.
Dragon Warrior Monsters? Pokemon.
Yu-Gi-Oh? Despite coming out before it, and involving characters with access to *many* monsters, Yu-Gi-Oh is actually a Rozen Maiden.

Little Red Dot $-$ Host Galaxy $=$ Black Hole Star: A Gas-Enshrouded Heart at the Center of Every Little Red Dot The central engines of Little Red Dots (LRDs) may be ``black hole stars" (BH*s), early stages of black hole growth characterized by dense gas envelopes. So far, the most direct evidence for BH*s comes...

There's an interesting new paper out today (not yet peer reviewed) suggesting an explanation for a weird phenomenon seen with JWST that might point to a "hitherto unobserved physical phenomenon," proposed in a couple of previous papers, called "black hole stars." arxiv.org/abs/2601.20929 1/🧵
