🍂 Kate Is Haunting Ur Leaf Piles 🍂

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

OH GOD WHO GAVE HIM THAT

I want to re-emphasize, the guy who has made HUNDREDS of videos calling people in the industry slurs, calling for them to be fired, calling all the studios that are showing games "woke and gay" and has harassed multiple journalists covering the show over the years is at the Game Awards.

maybe if I think about it hard enough i can explode ai with my mind

my favorite game is to guess guess if my headache is due to dehydration, migraine, malnutrition, stress, lack of sleep, poor position or a brain tumor

Why do we even have a government if they're not making sure people are housed, clothed, fed, and protected from corporate overreach.

Also mark unhelpful reviews as unhelpful, and helpful ones as helpful! You can do this regardless whether you've bought the game.

Publisher says Valve rejected complaint about hateful Steam review: "'Has Muslims, not recommended' is literal racism, so there should be no conversation needed" "I just don't know what to do about this"

I'm hoping for more articles on this situation, because we cannot stay quiet: www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

Happy WInnie-the-Pooh Illustrator Birthday. I always loved these books and the drawings—as a child and as the parent of young children. It was quiet magic.

Hand drawn musical staves with the words of the Coventry Carol, illustrated with silhouette drawings and ornamental marginalia reminiscent of medieval manuscripts.

Another old ink & gouache piece from 2006, approximately 420 × 297 mm. This was made into a 3-panel concertina Christmas card.

The Coventry Carol tells the story of the Massacre of the Innocents, and its mournful, minor key lullaby makes it a favourite of mine.

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

A reminder that you don't need to understand everything you see

Red maple leaves reaching over a bokeh yellow background, likely ginkgo. There is enough light everywhere for everything to feel special.

Momiji against bokeh lights that happen when the light shines through the gaps in a tree behind it.

Single yellow ginkgo leaf against bokeh background, waiting patiently to have its picture taken before it falls.

Ginkgo trees wrapping their yellow leaves around Tokyo Skytree as if in a warm hug. Low winter sun finds a way to shine through and sparkle, which is very like her.

Working on a piece of fiction that basically reimagines part of the Oregon coast and cackling because I can call stuff Desolation Cove and Lonely Highway and Deadman's Hell... because the whole coast is like the Devil's Hole in the Ground, Disillusionment Point, Murderdeath Pothole, Cape Impalement.

"can be arbitrarily doll"...is that a threat

Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

Not that the he's not culpable for choosing to profit off of it, but he's really the symptom of the actual problem here

It's really cool that YouTube made the conscious decision to facilitate the cooking of this many people's brains with their patented hate-grift algorithmTM

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social this doesn’t qualify as weirdtok but it’s too delightful not to share. Pure joy at one of life’s most wonderful experiences.

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

I relate to this on a deep spiritual level

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is watching Green eat snack bars straight out of a packet, wrappers of individual bars strewn around him. Blue: So how are the gingerbread cookie flavoured snack bar things? Green's answer turns into narration as the scene quickly changes to a vision of Green brazenly licking the wall of a massive decorative gingerbread house taller than himself. Green, narrating: You know that dry, stale, slightly dusty taste of a gingerbread house that's been on display all month? Back to the original scene, Blue looks at Green with mild surprise. Green returns his gaze without hesitation or embarrassment. Blue: No?! Green: Well, it's like that. Blue raises an eyebrow as Green calmly starts eating another snack bar. Blue: Then why are you still eating them? Green: Nobody can stop me.

An open letter to colleagues: we are not mops After more than two decades working in legal translation across four languages and multiple jurisdictions, I’ve watched our profession reshaped by forces that claim efficiency as a path to our expenda...

"Machine translation would handle the heavy lifting, and we’d add the expert polish. Except the machine made a mess. And we’re doing expert-level cognitive labour to clean it up for cleaning wages.

We’re not mops. We’re translators."
