What makes a female character truly meaningful in games?
For International Women’s Day, it’s worth looking beyond visibility and focusing on depth. 💜
Great characters aren’t defined by strength alone, but by complexity, vulnerability, contradictions, and growth. 🎮

I had to school a student on how bad google is on medical matters today.
Them: [Thing] doesn't exist.
Me: *produces direct citation*
Me: Yeah, it does.
Them: Ooohh...it didn't show up on my google search.
Me: There's your problem right there.
(Thing=fairly common diagnosis.)
Nouveau strip ! "Bilingue". Une histoire tragique sur fond de fossé linguistique.
À lire sur le blog: www.bouletcorp.com/rogatons/202...

The original expression was "tomber dans les pâmes" - "pâmer" being an archaic French verb which meant "to faint". At this point, nothing to do with apples whatsoever.
But over time misuse gave way to convention and "pâmes" became "pommes", the accepted spelling 🍎

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

A picture of all-time badass Stagecoach Mary Fields, holding her rifle.
Happy International Women's Day!
Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it.
"She broke more noses than any other person in central Montana."
Markwayne Mullin’s views on the value of life stop at the birth canal.
“In Oklahoma, we’re not going to be killing babies.”
Oklahoma ranks near the bottom in maternal care, infant mortality, healthcare, and education. For Markwayne, once the baby is born, they’re on their own.
🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A group of small humans (3 to 6?) run out of a church.
One decides they're going to play a game.
Taking charge, bellowing the rules.
Moments later they're all chasing after each other.
Who's "it?"
No one knows! But they're having fun! (1)
I'll never forget my mom telling me about how my MAGA nephew burst into the house early in 2024, absolutely terrified, 100% convinced that Biden was going to draft him.
(For what, who knows)
Life comes at you fast.
Noah just asked me "what does money mean" like I wish he'd just ask what nonbinary means again
But unfortunately he already understands that.

À tous ceux qui se demandent encore pourquoi on a besoin d’un 8 mars...👩🏻🤝👩🏼👭👩🏼🤝👩🏿
Parce que naître fille, c’est devoir surmonter beaucoup d’obstacles et cela commence dès la ligne de départ.
👀 2 documentaires en partie sur les accents et sur Marseille cette semaine :
▪️ Lundi 9 à 23h20, "Avé l'accent", documentaire diffusé sur Paris-Première (en partie sur la discrimination à l'accent)
▪️ Mercredi 11 à 17h20, "Invitation au voyage" sur Arte : "Le marseillais, c'est aussi une langue"
Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.

Well, I can't help but think of my eldest brother who was thoroughly *traumatized* by the Lion King because (spoiler): "The dad died because of his son. He disobeyed and his dad died because of him."
That was a hard conversation according to my mom.
idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Stephen posted, smrtly: Challenge for those who are very confident that Claude isn't conscious: Explain how human consciousness works.
Explain how human emotions work to prove AI doesn’t love! Explain how weather works to prove AI doesn’t rain! Explain how human sexuality works to prove AI isn’t fucking your dad.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai parlé des graphies "déchetterie" et "déchèterie" avec des élèves d'école primaire en montrant que les deux pouvaient se justifier. J'ai demandé comment ils pourraient l'écrire. Une élève a proposé le mot-valise "déchet-tri".
Quelle imagination !
Une formation sur la diversité des langues du monde qui a vraiment l'air très chouette au muséum national d'histoire naturelle de Paris.
Et c'est gratuit pour les étudiantes et les étudiants !

Une capture d'écran sur laquelle il est écrit : «Le mot ordinateur a été inventé à l'École normale supérieure ! Un médiéviste a dit : computer ... c'est comme deus ordinator ! Et cela a introduit le mot ordinateur en français», raconte Frédéric Worms, directeur de l'ENS, dans «Paris d'école».
Vous avez peut-être vu passer cette vidéo provenant du site du Figaro concernant l'invention du mot "ordinateur". L'affirmation est à priori complètement fausse. Et je pense avoir retrouvé la source de cette confusion : c'est Michel Serres.

Aujourd'hui, on rappelle avec Sandrine Deloffre que le #8mars n'est pas la journée de la femme (on ne célèbre pas une pseudo-essence féminine à coups de promo maquille/ménage) mais la journée internationale des droits des femmes pour inscrire ces droits dans l'histoire des luttes

Yes, the French booksellers association forced the Paris Book Festival to drop Amazon sponsorship due to Amazon "seeking to flood the market with fake AI-generated books, promoted by fake reviews, written by fake readers [which rise] to the top of fake rankings"💥 MORE OF THIS, PLEASE 💥

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
Je départage le site qui prétend référencer les condamnations des élus, il est fait avec une IA qui scrappe Wikipedia (c'est admis dans la page d'infos du site) et pas de vérification ensuite ni de source, évidemment il est du coup rempli d'erreurs et de lacunes.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Reportage de la BBC sur les accents (en Angleterre). On est en 1985.
Une des personnes interviewées prédit la fin des accents dans une cinquantaine d’années 🙄
