Red-breasted merganser watercolor comic, sorry had to after seeing bsky.app/profile/hibb...
Watercolor sketch: a male red-breasted merganser does the courtship dance of sticking his butt out of the water and looking weird (see real-life  red-breasted merganser mating dance). Says: Huhhhughhuh s'up ladies, huhuhuh. 
A group of female mergansers on rocks are watching. First one: Ugh. Second one: Creep. 
Third one is gawking in delight and her tail feathers are fanning like crazy trying to cool her down.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

The one feature I still really want is "request to follow". Not being discoverable is great in an of itself, but PLEASE let me currate who gets direct access to my posts in their followers feed. I like being able to respond to everyone (so I don't want to go full private like Twitter had)

His immediate dawning understanding of just exactly how much he could fuck things up made him go "That's a GREAT analogy," heh

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

So I’ve been taking the same folio to off sites, conventions, and talks for over 15 years. Today when cleaning it out this fell out and I have 0 memory of the context, but hey: good reminder.

This is the most liberal fucking thing I've read today so far, I swear.

No, the problem with billionaires is that their very existence represents the fact that a bunch of innocent people are being exploited and even starved to death. There is no way to become a billionaire without exploitation.
liberalcurrents.com
“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”
Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money
Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

Why yes thank you, I WILL purchase this game immediately

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

Pour yourself into your work only in the hours you're legally required to in your employment contract.

When you're off the clock build yourself a life outside of games.

It's much easier to handle the ups and downs of this industry when it's not your entire world.

Those of you who have been in gamedev for 5yrs+

What do you wish you knew before you joined the industry? What life lesson would you pass down to someone just joining today?

After giving World Anvil my sincerest efforts (and money), I've found a far superior product in LegendKeeper. LK has a simpler, more intuitive interface that feels less clunky. Not to mention the performance difference (faster). LK is just better all around.

I hate when people say shit like “whatever you feel about AI it’s here to say” like that’s not the levelheaded nuanced take you think it is. it just tells me that you have no pattern recognition and also don’t give a fuck about the environment

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

This is a REALLY good video that gets into the *specifics* of how AI is degrading our information environment and putting truth further out of reach for the average person / the population as a whole

I walked into the lounge last night to find my teenage son watching this. We have long admired @kurzgesagt.org and found their videos to be extremely illuminating. But this one in particular I think is so important right now!

That's understandable. I almost entirely watch on computers, and the jellyfin media player for desktop does plenty for me. Plus I'm on an android phone if I really want to use my phone to watch.

I didn't find one. I moved to Jellyfin and it's been so much more pleasant.
