it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I wonder if a transition to largely digital, licensed literature will make things difficult for future historians.
All my recent books went from hardcover to trade paperback and almost all of my backlist in mass market has now migrated to trade. The role of mass market paperbacks is now handled almost entirely by ebooks. I'm okay with this but it is the end of an era.

Last Call for Mass Market Paperbacks
After years of steady sales declines, the format will largely disappear next year.

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire
they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is
nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

@austinwalker.bsky.social @bleatingheart.bsky.social @notquitereal.bsky.social We know you can't roll in water to put the fire out, but you can... quench the fire by quenching your thirst?

It's over. The frog will never come back down.
It is possible to break the Frog Flap microgame in WarioWare simply by being too skillful. Red platforms speed up the frog, blue ones slow it down. By skipping red platforms and landing on the blue ones, the frog will eventually start flying and never come back down.

the "republicans have to pay rent too" answer really gets me, because republican politics always seem to focus on "people i don't like are getting things (that I am also getting)" and I love it when someone is like "yeah I think EVERYONE should live well, not only the people i like"
