A leaked email from the Ring CEO suggests that a long-term goal was to expand the 'Search Party' feature from finding dogs to 'zeroing out crime' in neighborhoods

You can bake your most favourite cake for the cake buffet party but if you leave it and no one even sees it or wants to try a slice still feels bad

You worked hard and even if you did something 100% for yourself, the main goal was sharing it w the rest

Its ok to feel bad if the end goal is not met

I don’t think ppl understand the whole β€œwho cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Science is not truth.
Science is finding the truth.

When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Darkwing Duck has been frozen into a block of ice in mid-leap. Frozen by the icy breath of Isis Vanderchill.

Better without the background gradient. A frozen treat for those shivering across the country!

I was cleaning up after dinner and asked Mana if she wanted to see Sundae while I got her dish. Of course, that was answered with a doggie version of, "Hell yes!" ❀️ Sundae alternated between squeaks and hisses, but edged closer until they were 2 - 3 feet apart!

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

if you ever feel bad about yourself because someone in FFXIV put you down in a way that was weirdly aggressive and personal, i implore you to remember that this tweet is still very true. it's arguably *more* true in 2026 than it was in 2022, because modding has become so much easier

Crops of twelve art pieces I completed in each month of 2025. These art pieces include illustrations and comics featuring Ignis, Prompto, Gladio, Noctis, Gentiana, Iris, Lunafreya, and Cindy from FFXV, Garcian Smith from Killer 7, and Xing Hai from Thunderbolt Fantasy. The accompanying text reads, "Super's 2025 art summary."

Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

"Impossibly, despite its attempts to pacify the ensuing outcry by issuing a clarification that merely some users will be required to submit to its child detection matrix, Discord has managed to make the rollout of its global age assurance policy seem even grimier."
