I really try not to be like this but “MS has graciously ‘preserved’ one of the most documented games of all time that was released 46 years ago, made freeware 28 years ago, and are using it to promote data centers, all for a game that could run on most abacuses” is causing me psychic damage

May we be so blessed as to have all landlords and capitalists turn into Tom Nook.

This was the equivalent of not making the second to last play of tic-tac-toe and instead just entering a staring contest with your opponent. Only, unlike the latter, the opponent still wins instead of getting fed up and leaving it just takes a few minutes.

If you are *that* pressed get help.

Just had an Arena opponent salt-rope during the final attack of a match of Midweek Magic: Jump In of all things.

Midweek Magic is unranked and Jump In is the most casual of casual formats. Zero pressure, zero stakes.

Salt-roping is losing to the turn timer instead of accepting a final play.

Hearing friends talk about professors accepting, and even using, generative AI and I have to wonder at how far we've come from 'Don't believe Wikipedia' to... this.

This is a high effort video for a minor league hockey team. I have no choice but to respect it.

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

YouTube video by Worlds Beyond Number Worlds Beyond Number: Fiasco! Pt. 1

It’s here: a podcast with our faces.

We’re playing Fiasco, a TTRPG that goes gloriously off the rails on purpose. Because sometimes chaos is the plan.

Part one is out now wherever you listen to podcasts, and on our YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKhp...

Reminds me of how sick the art in the Japanese D&D rulebooks are.
Seeing another culture viewing something through their own lens is so cool to me for some reason.

The disappointment when the person who tells you they've been shooting ice turns out to just be a photographer.

Rule zero to allow Olivia to run either Fire Nation Warship or Invasion Submersible as her commander. Gotta keep repping those boats.

'Zoinks, Scoob it says we need to find and destroy the weather machine operated by the Elders of....'

7-Up went weirdly hard into tie-in video games.

Down to hyuck

lol

The lack of a "anti-Fox News" is not a story of market failure. Media plutocrats have chosen to leave money on the table because they don't want to support challenges to plutocracy.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Teen Vogue politics has had some of the best political coverage out there but also notable they had multiple articles about covid and mask bans in the big year 2025

Oooof. Easy to 'backseat design' but if they felt they *had* to make it easier I would have had the flute always there but the 'sparkles' don't happen unless you've heard the clue.

Just like 'It must be the children who are wrong' is commonly used to show how sure and absolutely correct Skinner's stance is... Right Paul?

Fortunate Horse/Unfortunate Donkey

So to recap, NYT writers:

Love genocide, hate trannies, and can't wipe their asses without a computer.

Bravo, bastion of journalism.

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

Just love that all the fan supercuts from tonight are going to feature @alexanderward.bsky.social as 'Thad'.

There should be 10,000 weird zines made by teenagers instead of a single shred of AI in the world.

Torpor makes one hangry. Who can blame you

Damn, so sorry to hear that. Having them in our lives is worth the eventual pain but it doesn't make it hurt any less.

Alt headline: Biographer tricks news site into promoting their work.

*laughs nervously* and we're all gunna mask and test for covid in the coming days and isolate if we're feeling extra "allergies" after these crowded protests to continue with our activism, right? right??
