Dear ppl who are complaining that this image "has no alt text": the image is CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN THE SKEET. THAT IS ALT TEXT. Using the specific Bluesky mechanism to add an alt="" attribute to an image is ONE WAY of doing image description but some of y'all treat "alt text" as a magic incantation.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

increasing my determination to at least get a wig together and do that crochet hat plan I had for the feather nonsense, though. leaves the door open for many options.

I just saw the Gnosia merch for Aniplex's AGF booth and the world needs to stop giving me incredible Raqio alt outfits. there's only one of me. I can't cosplay everything.

Not campaigning for Zohran but this is so smart and important. You know who currently has the market cornered on newborn baskets? Crisis pregnancy centers.

And you gotta *pray* with them to get your fucking basket!!

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start.

Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

We keep rerunning the same story over and over again. “Why does this old show with lots of episodes on the free app that lets people watch stuff consistently outperform the prestige show on the app that costs money with 8 eps every 2 years that gets cancelled after 3 seasons? Experts baffled.”

got my lottery applications in for a timed entry slot in the first couple days of the Paradox Live 6th anni pop-up shop 🤞

(they're only doing it for the first four hours each of the first two days, but I think with how things are shaking out the second day of it *is* the most convenient for me)

Immediately reminded of the post discussing how special effects artists often have to CGI dogs tails in film and TV because trained performance dogs are usually delighted to be working and will wag their tails all over the place, even when it makes no sense for the story

it is SO FUNNY when you're watching a show with horses in it and within the plot of the show the horses are **»"»"upset"but the way they communicate this is by placing a nervous nickering sound bite over what is clearly a calm horse placidly performing a practiced trick

like clearly this is the correct and humane way to pretend a horse is upset and unhappy but it's soooo funny like this guys ears aren't even pinned back!! he's just vibing!!! dude did the least amount of rearing to get his apple treats and he can see his handler right behind the camera already reaching into the treat bag!! he's getting a good grade in being a good little boy and his mommy is going to be so proud

Caveat to the last point - almost every rat you see in TV is a she; male rats have just absolutely enormous balls and they don't want to show that on the camera!

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

Shane Anderson 🏳️‍🌈 @shaneanderson.bsky.social · 1d

Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

High potentioal breaks a ratings record.

I feel really weird about this because so many people are worse off than me but. I made a patreon upon request. you get the knowledge you’re helping a cancer patient stuck in the USA and early access to detailed wig tutorials. Maybe detailed makeup tutorial early access if I make some of those.

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

Golden Idol series are some genuinely wild puzzle games and they are BADLY slept on, especially the second

Cai @annenotation.bsky.social · 1d

Rise of the golden idol is made by two Latvian guys and it's still badly underpriced

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 1d

AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

hitman has this funny balance of intrigue-filled serious frowning old men cutscenes, followed by agent 47 running around a mansion after being provided a blueberry muffin as a weapon by his handler, and also he's dressed as a cowboy. and that's how a video game should act
