You can be a good person & still have a past that would ruin your reputation at the wrong dinner table. Life is weird like that.
Sometimes your worst years are what make you better later. And sometimes the reason you're so careful now is because you remember the damage you were capable of.
That's the uncomfortable origin story of a lot of good people. Turns out shame can grow a conscience if you let it.

Realest post I have read today

"THE TRUTH WE CAN'T TELL EACH OTHER IS THAT GRIEF IS A MUTATION. WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE, YOU WILL BEAR THIS WOUND FOREVER. YOU WILL BE MOURNING UNTIL THE END OF YOUR DAYS. IT CHANGES YOUR STATE OF BEING IN THE WORLD."

- JULIA DUCOURNAU -

I know a lot of you think editing a horror magazine is all fun and games, but sometimes you’ll just be proofreading an article by a top-notch interviewer like @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social and get smacked in the face with a quote that will stay with you forever.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

A rough, rubbly looking terrain that looks like that weird lint crap that builds up in crawlspaces.

This photo was taken on the surface of an asteroid.

This is why I never want to hear the phrase "morally grey" ever again.

"Complex, nuanced" villains might be all the rage in fiction, but in reality, they're often stupid, petty, vindictive assholes motivated primarily by spite and paranoia.

Deadlock character idea: Drag Queen War Veteran
- Female impersonation was so popular at the time that drag shows served as WWII morale boosters.
- Ballroom terms such as "Mother", "Strike a pose", and "Vogue" are traced back to 1930s New York.
- Hardest character to play.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

Screenshot of the bahn.bet homepage, showing active betting with fake money on real train delays across Germany. Screenshot of bahn.bet’s Abput page, saying:

THE FIRST RULE OF FIGHT CLUB...
Is that you should talk about it. All the trains, delays, and data on this app are real.But the money isn't - because for that I'd need to move to Malta. Or Cyprus. Or Schleswig-Holstein.

But please pretend the money is real. This entire thing is a social experiment. Share your bets, invite your friends, bet on your situationship getting stranded for two hours in Würzburg. Let's pretend that this platform is a real thing, and maybe Deutsche Bahn will actually do something about it.

(Hopefully)

Someone has decided that Germany’s rail operator Deutsche Bahn is ripe for some satire - with the site https://bahn.bet .

A fake betting site where you can bet (with fake money) on real train delays.

this sucks. no patience for the people laughing at it, calling it concord 2.0, etc. if 2 million people pick up a game, and you have to shutter it and lay everyone off, it doesn't matter if the game is good or bad. it's a symptom of a much bigger and deeper problem.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

Airlines have a one-size-fits-all approach to passenger assistance, and it sucks.

It also saves airlines a ton of money because they outsource the responsibility and then stop caring.

Today marks four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Over a thousand days of fighting, six million refugees abroad, and tens of thousands killed.

We honor those who gave their lives, thank those who fight on, and continue to believe in victory.
Glory to Ukraine.

Screw it: if you or someone you know is making a game and you have a demo out for next fest, sound off below. I’m just playing through everything and writing down my thoughts.

Signal boost a little for the indies in the back!

Great thread, and: CRM is a 50-year-old aviation safety discipline created because experts identified hierarchical cockpit culture — dominated by arrogant, know-it-all men, usually older, from the airline's majority nationality/ies — as a major contributing factor to crashes and other incidents.

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

It always feels like "Oh, you didn't become the biggest game in the world on week one? CLOSE THE STUDIO" as if that was EVER a possible result. You're not going to topple giants in one week if ever and expecting it is stupid.

Ein Abstimmungstext aus einee Schweizer Vorlage die damit beginnt, dass steigende Mieten (u.a.) die Bevölkerung belasten

Schon irgendwie funny den Abstimmungstext so anzufangen, wenn die Initiative von derselben Partei kommt, die sich gegen den Mietendeckel ausspricht 🤡
