Americans, contact your representatives (without yelling or threatening them) about this please. This affects basically everyone who uses the internet as much as it affects you, because most sites we use on a daily basis are hosted in the US.
So much will be lost if this goes through.

We reallt gotta lock in on preventing these internet mass surveillance bills from going through! We've got this! Be annoying! Call all day! Call everyday! We have to stop KOSA and its related bills!

If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all.

I forgot to post these. Some doodles I made for the adopter of that cat a couple weeks back.

(well. a barrow is actually the heap of earth placed over a tomb, but you get the picture

the perils of being an author flexing your knowledge at an audience that's unlikely to get it, amirite?

Bugs Bunny once made a Biblical reference and everyone took it to be a brand new word for "idiot")

a funny thing is, as i understand it, "wight" coming to connote "undead monster" is another case of "nimrod"

Tolkien coined it by accident when he called the malevolent zombies of rich old assholes which Frodo and company encounter "barrow-wights," which in less archaic language is just "tomb-men"

look no shade towards "Skull Servant" (especially when the target audience at the time was unlikely to know what a Wight is) but it is extremely funny that he got an entire extended family and apart from "King of the Skull Servants" all of them stuck with the "Wight" nomenclature in the West

"do you know why every day of your life doesn't feel like that one photograph of a kid unwrapping a Nintendo 64 for Christmas? it's because the browns and the pronouns are UPPITY; vote for us and we'll put them in their place" - MAGA

the whole premise of MAGA is The Browns And The Pronouns Are Coming For Your Bag

it's Your Bag Would Be Bigger If Not For The Browns And The Pronouns

the sales pitch is, as noted, aimed at people who do in fact think they have something to lose by things getting better for people who aren't them

first you draw a circle

then you dot the eyes

add a bunch of leaves

and presto! it's Oddish

Two ferrets cuddling together in a blanket. Both looking at the camera with mouth agape.

They are such fascinating creatures.

Everyday I ask, why are you silly? Why are you so long?

They respond, “we evolved for the tunnels”

I reply, “Thank you for being in my life.”

like what, do they need Vince Gilligan to poke his head in when Walt lets Jesse's gf choke to death on her own vomit and say "this is a shithead thing to do, Walt is a shithead for doing it, DON'T DO IT"

like Jesse's gf is no saint but WHY WOULD YOUR SYMPATHIES STILL BE WITH WALTER WHITE AFTER THAT

there's no end of works of fiction with clear morals which are nonetheless completely and willfully misinterpreted by shitheads

like seriously if someone can watch Breaking Bad and still think of Walter White as a goddamn hero and role model after all the shit he pulls, that is a "them" problem

Shoutout to all the furries and VN fans out there. The Hayseed Knight is one of the most impressively produced games in the field I've ever seen. Fully voiced, gorgeous art, unusual story and setting and unconventional romance.

It always shocks me to see it undersold.

Sale ends soon.

Galaxy Quest is so damn good

Some expressions 🐐

Buzzfeed was trying to force Kyra and her team to use AI for a Chikn Nuggit project. She left in protest because she's an actual hero. The fallout for Buzzfeed has been...real bad, so naturally, they're suddenly open to discussion. Keep being loud about how Ai is NOT acceptable.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

2026 will make u wish for Big Boat Stuck

a valid point! the characteristics that made Walt into Heisenberg could've catalyzed his descent into villainy in a completely different context as well

None of this would be happening if Mega Man Legends 3 hadn't been canceled

A friend of mine who runs these things always repeats something to me along the lines of "Playtests and Research isn't for telling you the right thing to do, it's to confirm to you that your assumptions are correct and that your intentions are getting through to the players" and that's stuck with me

Let everything that’s been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it’s tender and pliant. But when it’s dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death’s companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.

Thinking about that STALKER bit again

Dead Like Ants You play as a young woman in red overalls, a red worker ant. Every spring, five dangerous creatures visit the tree and threaten the village, and every spring, the Queen sends one of her daughters to n...

looked it up again and it's five, whoops

reminded of a text adventure called Dead Like Ants, where you play - in turn - as four different anthropomorphized worker ants sent as emissaries to the neighboring kingdoms, with the catch that they're not there to serve as diplomats; each one turns out to be a sacrifice

Metroidvania about badass deep space bounty hunters scavenging alien ruins, except there's something wrong with the upgrades that gives you non-standard game overs if you collect them. Instead, you have to lure other badass deep space bounty hunters to grab them, reverse escort mission style. (1/3)

A gray anthro bunny with light chin and eye markings. She's wearing a cloak, black dress, and fishnets. Her hair is brown and messy, and she's got hazel eyes. She's leaning over, showing cleavage, near a digital drawing screen.

Artist Portrait :3 It me.

this is, as i am fond of saying, not subtext; it is TEXT text

the lack of empathy with which he treats Jesse is telling

you can't tell me the show presents him as a hero after he let Jesse's gf die, or all the other ways he manipulates Jesse to do his dirty work

the problem isn't the storytelling, the problem is media literacy

Walter White is a compelling character to watch but, seriously, it's hardly the SHOW'S fault that dipshits think he's a hero

he is the protagonist but he is a flawed individual who embraces villainy when given a justification for it
