don't know who james van der beek was but he sounds dutch. sorry about that.

right, these things should exist in a lovely post-scarcity world to help us appreciate and reconnect with labor, not in a world where we need to fantasize about our labor having any direct value to us

i think clifford might be the most underrated funny movie of the 1990s

and then what happens

balloon boy could have been in there. they could have fucking killed someone.

today i'm kind of wishing he was alive so we could watch it happen to him again

that's ridiculous cats don't get aids

yeah there's still goofy pee pee poo poo stuff but it's not even close to as ghastly and morbid and visceral as the isaac stuff. it's mostly stuff like yeah you have a ranged attack that's just horking a hairball, or the defensive turd move. i got a cat that could throw a flea at an enemy.

to quote my hero ursula k le guin: "The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skillful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well – this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole."

i think the core of it is that it brings people back to their labor producing something with real use value, they can see the connection between the trees and rocks and ores around them and in the home/atelier/whatever they've built, and can take pride. there is no alienation from the labor.

dear peace monks, you don’t know me but DO NOT GET ON THAT BUS

your ex was scared of songs

i wish i could get that close to a prairie dog and talk to it

the controls menu under the controller options literally just had a thing that said "USE JOY2KEY :P"

you don't need to engage with the hypothetical of a newsom nomination. you can spend your energy talking about the actual policies you'd want to see from a candidate instead of just picking a guy and hoping he ends up being good enough. divorce yourself of this thought pattern

there's technically stats, and technically there's a system for inheriting stats?

there's also the item world ha ha just kidding

Welcome back @osullyville.bsky.social from the 3 day suspension they gave you 7 days ago! We're all so glad you're back and that Bluesky functions on a basic level!

I can tell you exactly when the media narrative changed: It was January 29, the day Chuck Schumer told everyone to pipe down because Democrats had agreed on demands they'd hold DHS to in return for funding.

speak for yourself

libby i cannot stress this enough that hotel is not mine. i do not have an association with that hotel. but let's say hypothetically it was my hotel. in that case i would say i am glad you enjoyed it and we look forward to accommodating you in future. but it's not my hotel. so, i wouldn't say that.

i didn't appreciate the hotel bit though. that was mean, to me.

i know folks say it every time but you are a phenomenal writer and your voice comes through so well in your essays. even having watched your twitch stream where you told this story, i found myself smiling and chuckling sensibly

my coworker said that Mewgenics was "like disgaea" and i'm worried about him now. i'm now worried that he's neither played disgaea NOR has he played into the breach.

yeah that's the thing. that's the thing that happened. i thought them inert. they were not inert. i was fooled. fooled by a rat.
