Ginger, my female medium hair brown tabby cat, curled up on top of the furniture, Zuko, my male medium hair brown tabby cat, sitting in multiple levels of it on the inside. They have lots of cat towers, but both want to try out this new one.

Found some brand new cat furniture at the thrift store today. I'd say they like it. Zuko really doesn't fit, but he's trying as best he can.

Lucky! ...ish, I don't envy you on the litter box front.

Alas, there's a bylaw where I live that limits people to a maximum of three cats.

Mouse has her personality almost exactly, and he's been surprising me lately by being really attached to me, but also my cat Abby. So hopefully mama will be similarly affectionate with time.

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March.

For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

This isnโ€™t just box art!
Matt Frank is the primary artist behind Monsters Menace: The World and shaped the entire visual identity of the game.
We only have 7 copies available. Each can be signed, or you can upgrade to get a custom monster sketch on the box!

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

Yup, we're working on a new Castlevania game.

Thanks to KONAMI, & with Motion Twin's friendly advice, the franchise will be going back to its roots with what we hope to be the best whip traversal & combat ever seen in a 2D action-adventure game! Noooo pressure...

Makes me want to see an "Alien" film starring a lone Xenomorph, newly metamorphosed, cut off from the Hive, and stranded on an alien planet.

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

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 โ€“

Iโ€™ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so todayโ€™s announcement on our blog is something Iโ€™ve been pretty involved with. Iโ€™ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured Iโ€™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.

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, weโ€™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 weโ€™re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details.

And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. Weโ€™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)
