So here's a tip: turn off all notifications for social media. I'm not kidding. Stop the cycle where it starts. Only go onto Bluesky and Discord or whatever when you want to. Don't let the app tell you when to look at it. You're the boss of it, not the other way round

This one genuinely looks like some of the horror Atari 800 games I used to play as a little kid. Sounds like one, too. Here we go

My only take on the new Taylor Swift is that apparently CDs are back?

That RCA 5-disk player I got at Goodwill for $10 is looking like a smarter buy already

Thatcher's Maxim applies again; if you have to say you have Quality X, then you don't

There is this bizarre tendency among people who I assume should be smarter or flatly antagonistic to the regime to accept the regimes statements on their power and abilities at face value.

Portable Doom. Totally worth buying it for the 3rd time

This is a Steam Deck. It menaces with 90s genre-defining FPS games. The Steam Deck is playing a port of 1993 hit computer game Doom. The game is at the entrance to Episode 1 Level 3: Toxin Refinery

How are there any electrical engineer Republicans? Like that bigotry must be better than sex and booze put together if it allows you to ignore "what the fuck are batteries and capacitors?"

Just imagine someone THIS completely ignorant (and/or dishonest?) as governor of Virginia. And then make sure you vote Democratic - and remind everyone you know to do the same! bluevirginia.us/2025/10/satu...

So if The Substance and Mouthwashing are anything to go by, one theme emerging in 2020s horror is "suffering of your own making." You truly can't escape from yourself

European racists (like this guy) continued to be flummoxed at the idea of non-white Westerners, even though if they speak a European language and are Christians, they're clearly Western in most meaningful ways.

Dude's brain would melt if he ever visited the Guyanas

You may know some people like this; they read those condensed summaries of books rather than read the whole thing themselves. They watch movies and documentaries at faster than normal speed to "get through them faster." All destination, no journey.

I've touched on this before, but having given it more thought, I think I can refine my thesis roughly to: Generative AI appeals to people who derive a sense of accomplishment from "finishing" something, but not from actually doing it

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 4d

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

I see they're using the MiG-21 method of "just put the new avionics on the outside, we'll just put a fairing over it"

Thoughts (no spoilers) 70 minutes in: yeah this is pretty unsettling, although more in a post-apocalyptic there's-no-hope way than an Evil Dead parade-of-violence-and-trauma way. But I've been assured it escalates, so we'll see
