It's bittersweet seeing a legend like James Baxter pop in to guest-animate a sequence for some TV series now and then
On the one hand: holy shit James Baxter is one of the best to ever do it
On the other: the infrastructure that cultivated James Baxter's skills doesn't really exist anymore

“Why do trans women and leftists care so much about Gavin Newsom and whether he gets to be the democratic nominee anyway”
Man I exceedingly rarely get biblical but it’s fucking Matthew 25:40, isn’t it. As you did unto the least of these, so you did unto me. It’s called fucking solidarity. Jfc

This is why, even if we do miraculously have elections in 2028, you shouldn't expect sweeping reforms. The Democrats like having a police state just as much as the Republicans
Subtle reminder that Barack Obama inherited all of the elements of executive overreach that the neocons developed in the early 2000’s, and rather than dismantle them, he expanded them

Caves of Qud is so fucking good
![Qud menu screenshot describing a purple and green slug
Slog of the Cloaca Hostile, Average IT
A slug has grown too large for its anatomy to know what to do. Bubbles of stinking broth pop over breathing pores the size of elbows, and a fifth phase of trashlike matter leaks out its crusty mantle and down the sharp keel of its back. Where nature had the decency to end the body of the common slug in a muscular foot, Slog's tail is instead a sphincter-choked bilge hose that it uses to spew foul waterfunk about its surroundings.
Loved by mollusks.
Hated by the Girsh for burning one of their leaders in effigy.
Physical features: crushing bands, bilge sphincter
Perfect

regardless of whether you think a new PlayStation should come out any time soon, I do not think one single sector of the tech industry—especially one with such dubious applications—should be able to buy up so many components that it rattles every other consumer tech product for years
Acc to a Bloomberg reporting, Sony is considering to push back the PlayStation 6 to 2028/2029. Nintendo is also considering a Nintendo Switch 2 price increase in 2026.

Also worth mentioning: You can *totally* pull up the "Wish" (debug) menu on a controller, too! So if you're worried about fungal infections ruining your good time by preventing the use of certain gear or growing too many mouths that won't shut up, you can make it go away like on PC. 👍
Now that I can talk about it, I've been playing Caves of Qud on Switch 2 all weekend and I was *not* prepared for just how well it works on a controller. Or how great it is to be able to play on a TV and/or in bed.
Review's coming but tldr: If you love Qud on PC or have wanted to try it out, buy it!

This one might be the rare double-You're Wrong About.
Initial reporting was that the face-chewing guy was on bath salts.
But then the toxicology report showed he only had weed in his system.
But then it turns out they can't actually test for bath salts.
