An embarrassment of riches

pretty sure there was an "I think you should leave" sketch about this...

Climate deniers be like…

Playstation cutting off Twitter integration is maybe the single most "oh that site is fuckin DYING" thing I've seen so far

Twitter integration was such an easy no brainer thing that provided constant cheap marketing and fan engagement for games and publishers

Sony pulling the cord on it is An Omen

The line between reality and a fictional world created by Hideo Kojima continued to blur today as a guy whose name is almost "Sam Bankman-Fraud" was convicted for pushing a scam currency.

If the theme fits naturally — go for it. But I'm generally very weary of holiday-themed episodes (especially since the BULK of my consumption usually happens not On Day of Release but several weeks later, when I finally find the time).

Well... made it through another work week. Weekends have long since stopped being restful bookends to the week, but I still look forward to them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Newsletter going out tomorrow: tttooooni.substack.com

It's less doomy-gloomy than the last one and has more cool videos shared at the end.

My big plan of working towards "liking autumn" has failed. Seasonal affective disorder + anxiety teamed up to knock my positive outlook on its ass.

I love that shit so much! the more the better!

Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY: "1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Whole Earth Index Here lies a nearly-complete archive of Whole Earth publications, a series of journals and magazines descended from the Whole Earth Catalog, published by Stewart Brand and the POINT Foundation between ...

Whole Earth Catalog is organized all neatly on archive.org. I am SO EXCITED. I've been searching for individual issues here and there and it was possible but difficult. Now it's all JUST THERE: wholeearth.info

This is like one of my nerdiest wishes coming true lol

Really glad to be signed up for that newsletter you shared a while back :D lol

теж ненавиджу автомобілецентрізм (саме тому і вивчав правла ПДР для пішоходів, щоб відповідати бидло-водіям), але to be fair традиція мати обрану сторону для пішоходів тягнеться з часів задовго до того, як створили автомобіль.

так цейво... у всій країні правосторонній рух. Я не розумію чому ви настільки здивовані :D

мені здається що this is poetry

по перше I agree

по друге, вони писані, ці правила :)

zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/13... (пункт 4.1)

One of the major side effects I experienced... so... yeah, I guess?

Ok. I'm seriously tired of Western creators doing this, so here is a thread about why you shouldn't give any shout-outs to russian creators right now and why Little Big are responsible for Putin's regime. (shocking right? but hear me out!)

I'm from Ukraine so... the owner of the network peddling russian propaganda has finally outweighed the usefulness of the platform as a place to share fundraisers and connect with peers.

Though my initial "soft exit" happened when bluechecks started making money off of throwing shit onto the fan

It's always interesting to me to see which services you choose for these things :D

Looking at them (probably the same ones) too... 🤔

I know you can do it any time because I know a few people in their 40s that are getting them right now.

Also hi! Welcome to bluesky :D

Two interesting things today:
1. russian propaganda really putting on their party hats after this morning's events in Israel
2. some (few) other russians see this and are having an "are we the bad guys?!" reaction.

truly hilarious (in a "finding comedy in tragedy" kind of way).

Якщо альбомів багато а клацати лінь, я вчора (маючи 0 досвіду з python (тому думаю для вас взагалі не проблема)) скачав все і кинув в Apple Music: github.com/meeb/bandcam...

Для гарного compatibility рекомендую приписати ще "--format alac" щоб був lossless, але такий що в айфоні буде працювати.

UN more useless than 'thoughts and prayers' facebook comments from flyover state residents.

"Companies fucking around leaping blindly into the AI hype bubble and finding out they don't have even a tiny fraction of the twisted imaginations necessary to understand what they're unleashing" is my new favorite headline genre

An illustration of a handshake between a human and a fucked up AI monstrosity with the caption " you want us to respect art that wasn't worth the effort to draw?"

if this makes AI people mad it's not because of the message it's because I had an idea and drew it

UNLESS піти по дуже "DIY" vibes як ось цей чел (хоча він викидає багато, але прінти лишаються): www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PWh...

А, з одягом взагалі капець як складно. Бо типу виходить що якисний одяг не апсайклять а реставрують/бережуть, а те що апсайклять (масс маркет) воно апріорі хуйове, і з ним особливо креативно нічо не зробиш

типу ніби ось столи з надлишкового цементу та стільці з старих дерев'яних стовпів... www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4z1...

а воно по 250-700 долярів коштує www.fivemileradius.org/collections/...

Тому що все що "дуже просто" виглядає хуйово, а гарний/складний upcycling переходить в категорію "дуже дорого" і його не так часто показують в всяких тіктоках і five minute crafts :D

Теж колись упоровся над цим питанням і вбив пару годин читаючи про upcycling в інтернетах :)
