This is so cool. Zohran Mamdani just released the 2026 NYC Dev Roadmap and he's updating Williamsburg with not one but TWO new 20-man raids with their own endgame armor sets and weapons

Gov. Tim Walz backs transgender kids as Democrats grapple with debate over sports bans The Minnesota Democrat has been critical of other members of his party who are retreating at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and in Minnesota.

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

i've also tried ds1 several times but keep bouncing off of it. i haven't been able to get that feeling of "connection" with the controls, where combat and movement feel intuitive. maybe someday tho

I was asked for tips about designs and references, so I wrote some thoughts about it. In case if anyone interested - link below!

Polygon Sold To Valnet And Hit With Mass Layoffs One of the biggest gaming sites around was just blown up

Breaking: Polygon sold to Valnet and hit with massive layoffs

Here's @ethangach.bsky.social report.

I’m just about sick of correcting terminology, especially “trauma bonding”.

this pain has been more intense overall, i think, but it's both easier to manage logistically and a less disorienting kind of pain. it basically feels like i got punched really, really hard in the stomach. obviously not fun, but it lacks the knee-jerk AGH THERE'S SOMETHING STUCK IN ME GET IT OUT

plus it was in my ass so i really couldn't stop thinking about it at any point. had to make sure i didn't hurt the port site when i sat, had to make sure the tube was hanging right so it could drain, etc.

i'm still banned from lifting things and i'm developing what might be a seroma, which is painful, but this recovery is a million times easier than dealing with the drainage tube. the tube had me worrying about tugging it out of place all the time and it felt so /weird/, even after the pain lessened

my procedure was scheduled as an exploratory lap with possible appendectomy because they couldn't visualize it on my last ct scan and weren't sure if there was anything left to remove, which is so wild LMAO. "yeah it might have blowed up 😇"

update: got my appy taken out last friday! the post-op tissue exam confirmed that it had, in fact, previously ruptured, which was nice to know for certain. still sluggish and sore around the top incision but feeling shockingly good given that i just had major surgery

that makes it a lot sadder to me.

and didn't consider the real world implications of certain fantasy things she included. it speaks to a very common, banal kind of ignorance and privilege rather than deep-seated bigotry, things that in a happier world she would have learned from and grown beyond, as many do.

i hate jk's lunatic transphobic turn as much as the next person but i think this is overselling the contents of the books. they've got the kind of material you would expect from a white author of her generation who doesn't seem to have done any unpacking of the ambient prejudices of her society

yeah, it's going well so far. i got lucky that i didn't go septic or get peritonitis, because both of those could have literally killed me. the abscess is probably what saved my life which is kind of insane. kept all of the goo in one place

hey bsky, a few life updates:
- turned thirty
- was miserably sick for two weeks (overlapping said birthday) with what turned out to be a ruptured appendix that abscessed
- got a drain put in my ass that is still here as i speak
i hope you have all been doing better than that

please stop suggesting I solve my problem by changing my behavior. I do not want to do that

today is my first day back to work and it literally had me on indeed looking for bullshit remote jobs that wouldn't have me responsible for the care of small vulnerable people. let me slack. pay me for nonsense.

my central goal is to paint and assemble my tau pathfinder team, with a secondary goal of trying some new single-page games

claude with a nose stud would be proof that god loves us, if we can be real about it

I WAS READING THAT POST YESTERDAY LMAO. god bless this kind of internet drama

2022

A man walks into his apartment and says "glad to be home from work. time to change." He undergoes a Sailor Moon-like magical girl transformation, where a star pendant erupts into pink ribbons that cover his body and turn into his home clothes, a tattered Ween shirt and dirty sweatpants.
