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

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

Hey you guys remember that time Donald Trump decided that if you're mentally ill he can send you to a concentration camp and no one will ever see you again. You guys remember that? I'm just thinking about that for no reason.

Assigned Media @assignedmedia.org · 1d

A fringe group wants the field of psychiatry to regress back to the days when stereotypes and prejudices resulted in mental illness diagnoses for marginalized populations.

In a new reported piece, @evanurquhart.bsky.social examines Genspect's call for the re-psychopathologization of trans identity.

Hate Group Calls for Re-Labeling Transness as Mental Illness — Assigned

A fringe group with no expertise pushes the field of psychiatry to regress to a pre-scientific, prejudice-soaked view of trans people. It coincides with the far-right political agenda.

I'm a good metal musician dammit

I write good music. I play well and I'm an entertaining performer.

I believe this. I just need a reminder sometimes for when the doubts creep in. But the doubts can also keep me honest and driving ever forward towards improvement. I must court my doubts healthily.

(With alt text)

A retooling of a Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s dad is going to read him a bedtime story.

First panel:
Calvin’s dad, scanning a bookshelf: “What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except—“
Calvin, from bed, excited: “The Voynich Manuscript!”

Second panel:
Calvin’s dad, deeply exasperated: “NO! No Voynich Manuscript tonight! We’ve tried to decipher that book a million times!”
Calvin, yelling: “I want the Voynich Manuscript!”

Third panel:
Calvin’s dad, trying to reason with him: “Look, you *know* how the story goes! You’ve memorized the whole thing! It’s completely unreadable!”
Calvin: “I want mysterious glyphs and sigils!”

Fourth panel:
Calvin, in bed and staring wide-eyed into the dark: “Wow, the story was different *that* time!”
Hobbes, also in bed and staring: (a long string of incomprehensible characters).

The media's really just going to bounce over the fact that at Trump's meeting today they said "we've been fighting antifa for a hundred years, since they tried to stop us in 1930s Germany" and everyone nodded along, huh

Durbin on whether Democrats can use reining in ICE in Chicago as a precondition to rein in the government says “can’t do that. It’s gotta be health care all the way.”

"I hate to say it but" always the start of some person saying some absolute bullshit with their whole ass chest.

Some centrist bigot says "I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can't protect ANY groups if we can't win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant." as if this isn't literally the strategy that has cost the Democrats several elections now.

What is some practical advice for improving self-esteem as an adult, esp ages 30+?

(I don't think we talk about this enough because we're too busy criticizing those who haven't figured it out, so I'd like to get the convo going.)

Our first full-length release will be out on @littlecloudrecords.bsky.social next Friday! We also just wrapped a weekender / mini-PNW tour as a pre-release promo thing and that went really well, imo. And I am scheduling out our first West Coast tour here as we speak.
