Do you have a favorite "so bad it's good" movie?

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

This bundle has Clawhammer Games' 2 recent crowdfunded projects, Before The Flood and Gravemire.

I did layout on those so I'm a bit biased, but imho they're excellent games with focused design that offer unique experiences.

& you'd be helping the coolest librarian I've met unban books, so...

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Whoah. I've never really understood birding as a hobby but if you can take shots like that, yea, it makes sense now. The mallards!

Hrmmm, yes. All those years wasted searching for a lake monster and it turns out they just needed better swan photographers.

(The photos have an excellent mood to them, btw. The way the water sparkles work with the dark backdrop in the second one... definitely a vibe. What are you shooting with?)

Wait so. Do swans... live near Loch Ness?

Cancel most of your streaming services. Keep 1 or 2 at a time and rotate them out every few months to see the stuff you want to see, even if it's later on. Rent DVDs from libraries. Use the money you save to buy more physical media and go out to dinner at locally owned restaurants with your friends.

Situate design and play within the body. You are an animal, making games for other animals.

Embrace the weirdness of the body. We're snotty, hungry, leaky, horny animals that are easily frustrated, excited, and startled.

In case you don't know, in my day job, I am a librarian. And September is library card signup month!

I've put together a bundle of all of Clawhammer's offerings for $10. Half of the proceeds will be donated to Unite Against Book Bans. Please consider spreading the word!

Meant to share this link to help Gretchen and the lost revenue from losing her book.

ive been playing in this toybox for several years now and it is so much fun. if you're interested in rules as a cage you press your face up against you should absolutely check out The Loom >:33

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials.

My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

There was a gorgeous dyke/trans bar called "Le Monocle" in 1930s Paris. Monocles were a bit like wearing a pride flag among the queer people assigned female at the time, like in this colorized 1937 photo. Nazis shut down the bar during the war, but many patrons stayed in touch for years after. 🧐

Massive Bay Area transit cuts likely as Newsom backtracks on $750M loan, lawmakers warn Bay Area lawmakers and transit advocates say Gov. Gavin Newsom’s reneging on a critical $750 million loan will have devastating consequences for BART, Muni and other agencies in the region.

This matters a lot more than his tweets.

order of operations if you like someone’s art & want to share it:

1. share directly from artist’s account (retweet, reblog, quote, etc.)
2. if no artist account, post with link to artist elsewhere
3. if no link, write attribution

no attribution? no post 🚫

Given how he approaches everything else, he's probably studied the art at the knees of experts from all around the world.

"Batman doesn't do that" was such a wildly off-base take.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

(Obviously I'm packed and ready to evac when they say go, but having the place I live burn down would suck.)

Fire's doubled in size. It's about six miles away. I'm worried about tonight. Per the county fire page, potential for (rainless) thunderstorms and gusty outflows coupled with very dry conditions could lead to extreme fire behavior.

If they're still sealed and you have a local food bank / food pantry, pretty sure they'll happily take the cans. Shelf stable goods are huge.

How Are You Supposed To Get The COVID Vaccine Now? An Explainer | Defector As the muggy malaise of summer winds down, you might find yourself interested in taking advantage of one of several safe and proven vaccines to help protect you from the inevitable brumal surge of res...

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Safe and all the essentials are packed in my car. Been thankful for the county's warnings, that I had today off so I could pack, etc.

We had the warning and the wind in our favor, the luxury of a place to go early. Folks on the other side of the fire went from "be aware" to "go now" real quick.

A rural road at night, illuminated by headlights. In the distance a mountain is outlined in glowing red smoke, looking like dawn is coming in the middle of the night. This is a sure sign of a fire on the other side.

Wound up at a friend's house across town, well outside the danger zone. Our place is only level 1 evacuation warning, but when this is the view from your street... time to go.

Also the dry lightning out in the mountains didn't seem encouraging. Fingers crossed.

8 miles away. Gonna shut down computers and start packing.

I keep thinking of that quote: "Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it."

Hope it's not my turn.
