Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

I started playing Starsand Island, it's cute and has a lot of potential but it also has a huge sound bug. No sound in cut scenes - no voices, no music - it is in early access so I hope it will get patched. I would like to hear the characters voices.

Dawson's Creek was my very first fandom long ago, I have such a tremendous attachment to those characters and the cast. It hurts to lose one of them. At such a young age and from something so horrible. 💔

Just because it's going to be important over the coming days.. I stand with the trans community, especially trans youth. Some of the strongest, most vibrant and amazing people I know are trans and we cannot allow the news cycle to ever take that away.

Guns kill people, gender identity doesn't.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks to your overwhelming support of our first #baihe (Girls' Love books originally written in Chinese) release, THE BEAUTY'S BLADE: MEI REN JIAN (NOVEL), we're pleased to launch a new label just for baihe! New licenses for the label will come soon 💖

Oh this is devastating 💔

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.

A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.

May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

1 shooter dead after alert at secondary school in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.: RCMP | CBC

Terrible situation out of Tumbler Ridge, a town of 2500 people in northeastern B.C., where an active shooter at a high school is now dead.

We'll be updating this page with information as we confirm it.

Premier David Eby speaks with media after 10 killed, including shooter, in Tumbler Ridge.

“I know that one of the things we do best is look after each other, and I’m asking British Columbia’s to look after the people of Tumbler Ridge tonight.”

Oh this SUCKS 🫠

The caption in the newsletter said SPOTTED: Canadian superstar and lead actor for the hit series "Heated Rivalry" sporting a SharkSkin Cloverdale Paint t-shirt before the start of his stardom!

This is from the newsletter at work, a certain Hudson Williams wearing a Cloverdale Paint shirt.

I WORK THERE.
Why does he have this shirt!? And it's well worn. (Cloverdale is BC based so that might be part of it.)

Anyway, this was very strange and it amused me that they put it in the newsletter

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"This is too dark"
or
"This is too light"
and also
"Who matched this?"

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

I keep trying to change the header image on my Tumblr but it will not stay. I even cropped it the correct size but it keeps going back to the other one..

WHY WON'T IT STAY!??

Dude on the train yesterday stopped by me and said "Your hair is awesome!" He had a hot pink mohawk, I told him his hair was awesome. That was a nice moment.

i hate you if you use ChatGPT or AI. incase you needed that cleared up.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
