I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Sebastian Druid: Whatchu up to, Ghost Rider?
Ghost Rider: Burning sinners with my Hellfire.
Sebastian Druid: What’s the difference between Hellfire and regular fire?
Ghost Rider: Hellfire is fire from Hell.
Sebastian Druid: So when you use Hellfire does that mean there is less fire in Hell?
Ghost Rider: If it ends this conversation, yes.
Blackheart: Why is this room always so cold?
Mephisto: Don’t touch the thermostat.

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

The NYC MTA is transitioning to OMNY tap-and-pay cards, rendering swipe cards obsolete by June 2026.

OMNY is notorious for tracking riders through our devices, digital wallets, and credit card top-ups, and the MTA is besties with the NYPD. MTA Surveillance is a given.

Not only is this un-canceled but it seems that Maximum Entertainment are no longer in the picture, as Gameplay Group is now handling it. That along with Maximum's other mismanaged fighting games Them's Fightin' Herds and Diesel Legacy. This is looking really great!

Well! There we are! Me and Val! The handsomest men to ever grace the Indie game scene!

It's an absolute honor to say Parfum Nostalgique has been featured on @polygon.com . I'm gonna go scream now.

As Steam cracks down on adult games, one dev urges taking back control

Game developers fear for the future of games with LGBTQ themes, which is leading some to pursue alternate (and way cooler) forms of distribution

My two pieces of advice for someone beginning their transition is 1) put dating on the back burner and spend a few years interrogating what friendship is for you and relearning platonic vulnerability and 2) buy a goddamned fabric ruler

Lord Cao Cao: dubai has fallen, and lububu has surrendered. He promises endless matcha for sparing his life, but I fear having seen the GenZ stare of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan we should not be so quick to trust.

They claim they won’t do a subscription model or use AI, but with Canva’s takeover I probably will never upgrade from V2 if they pull some stupid bullshit like that. I’m just hoping it was pulled because V3 is coming soon. But killing the forums in the meantime for discord was a really stupid idea!

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.
