YouTube video by cecilily I LOVED Legends ZA and I wanna talk about it for an hour

NEW VIDEO

Wish me luck.

This isn't a video about windows. It's about gentrification, the housing crisis, anti-homeless benches, toxic yuri, Canatics, using type immunities as a narrative device, the best story we ever got and a Pokémon game made with care for fans.

The compromise on trans rights is that you give trans people their rights and that’s it.

"why are games so expensive"
"why are mass layoffs happening"
"why are games getting cancelled"
"why did that popular studio close"

it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

welcome to transgenderism! we have:

dehumanization fantasy (animal)
dehumanization fantasy (robot)
dehumanization fantasy (corpse)
dehumanization fantasy (divine psychosis)
dehumanization fantasy (womanhood)

it’s ironic how nothing makes you sound more like you live in a weird little bubble than when you make the bizarre assumption that liberals in big cities have never interacted with a conservative before

I actually did major in the humanities so that apparently doesn’t help

It's funny how much the people who run this site actively hate their user base

“It’s hard to talk to older kids on Halloween” some of them you have to yell “huntrix don’t quit” and the others you have you say “you can take six or seven” and the only skill required is recognizing the difference

every couple of days the official white house website says "we want to kill you. we want to destroy everything you love. we are the living incarnation of death and we shall sweep life from this earth like an unstoppable whirlwind" and its like oh. ok. do i still have to pay taxes

SHHHHHH

I know it's supposed to be Fire Emblem, but really if you think about it, fanfic as a genre is the modern commedia dell'arte.

The weirdest thing about my layoff was going from thinking so constantly about this one story and group of people and then suddenly being completely cut off from it. It’s a really disorienting experience.

I am the very model of an ancient trunkless leg of stone,
My shattered visage lies half buried with a sandy sneering frown,
The sculptor carved my arrogance upon these broken lifeless things,
My name is Ozymandias, the self-describèd King of Kings!

making a new restaurant type called Some Of What You Can Eat Buffet, where you pay a flat amount for "all you can eat", but for every item you order on a given round, I roll a d20 on the table, and if it ever lands on 1, I just bring you the bill.

Screenshot from Virtue's Heaven steam page view stat page, showing the daily page views for the past three months. After October 23rd, the graph jumps from around 100-200 views per day to 500-700, most of which coming from people seeing the game in their Steam Discovery Queue.

Here's the reason why you see so many people beg for reviews on Steam. Virtue's Heaven got past 10 reviews this weekend and suddenly the amount of page views tripled, mostly because the game started to show up in people's discovery queues.

Never forget this

Seeing folks praising Amazon for "good severance" but y'all, even 5-6mo of severance is not enough with the state of the industry. There are no jobs. There are hundreds competing for every role. These people lived/worked in expensive cities (Irvine, SD, Seattle) and unemployment is garbage.

The official home of the Python Programming Language

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

New Yorkers: please vote!!!! Cuomo went all-in on racism in the final 2 weeks because he's got nothing else. And as we've seen, that's a very effective motivator.

misgendered! at the airport

have done all these things, many of them just this morning

Hyperfixation and creativity is weird. Sometimes you binge watch character compilations. Sometimes you spend six hours researching sound assimilation in Korean. Sometimes you try to understand the thoughts of a Catholic priest from 1898. Only rarely do you blink and there's a full project done.

A very tiny posy I made in a thimble using flowers I grew in my garden, including lily of the valley, forget me not, cow parsley, sorrel, Mexican fleabane/erigeron, snowberry and buttercup.

When humans look at something we find beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood & if we connect with what we're looking at oxytocin, giving us a sense of belonging.

If you like it it'll alter your brain biochemistry for the better:

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This is a magic card

Found out where the trans girls coding music on the spot videos come from strudel.cc

In my “retirement” I do an amount of work on developing safety testing standards. One of the things I’ve been pushing is that a device with a hard-coded “password” is defective design. This came from my experience seeing the amount of security there wasn’t in connected toys, baby monitors, etc.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.
