Re-posting this again because I really want to get over myself and the immense shitty body dysmorphia/crappy smile feelings I get when I post a photo of myself.

I really like this photo and I’ll be damned if I let my brain try to tell me otherwise!

If you see me using em dashes in my posts on here or on social media — I want you to know it is not AI and I will be deep in the cold, cold ground before I let it steal em away from me.

I’m very apprehensive of posting photos myself so often, but I quite like how this one turned out (I have a few dozen others too but keeping them for myself).

What a brilliant, brilliant night. :)

I am at an event and I can confirm that Nadine Coyle had a mic malfunction on her.

Anyway…

On the flipside, the rockstar nonce died too in brutal fashion apparently.

You deserve good things in your birthday. Whatever feelings you have though are absolutely valid.

I do hope you have a fantastic rest of your birthday though, pal. <3

This and the NIN score should be the selling points, not cult leader creep Jared Leto.

incidentally I enjoyed the interview on BBC News last night with a woman from the Nobel committee who pointed that so long as Trump was using the judicial system to go after his enemies and sending troops into peaceful cities, he probably wasn't a strong candidate for the Nobel peace prize

Israel's Ben Gvir: 'We are happy about the release of all the hostages, but we will vote against the release of murderers. The Prime Minister committed to me that Hamas will be dismantled. If it doesn't happen? We will dismantle the government'

Israel just bombed a home and now there are 40 people under the rubble.

They’re demolishing Gaza as quickly as they can while delaying their “peace” negotiations

UPDATE | The Israeli cabinet meeting to ratify the ceasefire agreement did not convene, despite an hour having passed since the scheduled time.
Additionally, the government session to approve the agreement, scheduled for 5:00 pm, was postponed to 6:30 PM, then to 8:00 PM.

Please read this entire thread re Ubisoft's idiotic decision to cancel an Assassin's Creed set after the US Civil War because I would have been down for that.

But this... THIS in particular. Nails it.

Look, I'm not the type of person to pretend that antiblackness doesn't have an impact on sales. But this would have sold. Like gangbusters. Because I assure you that most people would enjoy killing the Klan (in a video game) just as much as they enjoy killing Nazis (in a video game).

Oh man, I can already feel it from the trailer that Hammet is going to be truly special.

It’s almost like Sony has a service it runs in-house it can do this with.

It’s almost like MLB can also force Sony to put it on a competing service to expand its reach it can do so this with.

The mind boggles… 🤔

Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting very Sims vibes from this.

This is still absolutely cool though.

I am fascinated by how ubi has welded the aesthetics of politics in its games and marketing for decades, but always been profoundly cowardly about engaging with them. Political aspartame.
