Rogue64 is a free hidden game if you own an Evercade device 🕹️❤️
Happy birthday to Rogue64, one of the hidden games on Evercade and precursor to last year's Roguecraft DX! This 8-bit dungeon crawler is easy to pick up, hard to master and has great music. It first released for 8-bit home computer on this day in 2022.

I was making a deposit at the bank today. The old lady at the ATM next to me said that she’d forgotten her glasses and asked if I could I check her balance.

It was awful - she fell over as soon as I pushed her.

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

For #ScreenshotSaturday let’s peep behind the curtains to see how Roguecraft DX’s 10x10 rooms made it to #GameBoy

The GameBoy screen is constructed from 8x8 pixel tiles.
(20 → and 18 ↓)

A 10x10 grid of 8x8 pixels could work but it’d be tiny 👀
A 10x10 grid of 16x16 pixels is too large 😕

Has any country fallen so far, so quickly, so low and from such a reasonable-ish-but-pretty-dodgy height as the USA right now?

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.

Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons
"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"
If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.
