Benzos are such interesting drugs. (I have a small Rx I only take before medical procedures). The anxious thoughts are still there, but there’s no emotion behind them. I can even feel the drug blocking physical anxiety symptoms, like the lightheaded rush. I brace for it and it doesn’t come.

Happy 4-year anniversary of the JWST launch 🥹 here’s the first photo it ever took!! It is the highest-resolution image of the early universe ever taken. Some galaxies in this picture are nearly 13 billion years old. All still babies — a tiny fraction of the projected age of our universe.

it is wild to anyone who was a hard-core PC gamer in 1996 when we realize that NVIDIA is now one of the pillars the entire world economy rests upon.

A long time ago, a friend and I started a trend amongst ourselves of reblogging a clip from Frank Ocean's live performance of Self Control back and forth. This ended up repeating over a span of months, years, etc...however long it would take for the song to eventually find its way back to one of us.

Gonna play through Mirage before my eventual Iraq trip for this exact reason. Zayn and I were able to navigate Rome by memory when we were teens thanks to Ezio’s games <3
As a history nerd, I've bought Assassin's Creed games just to walk around the cities because I know they've collaborated with actual historians to try and reconstruct the era and landmarks as accurately as possibly...I dont think I've ever finished one to be honest, I just liked walking xD

even though i miss android (sorry to my employer) I don’t know if I can switch back from iphone because of all of my friends’ locations I’ve accumulated on Find My over the years. they are my little sims and seeing them wander about and go on trips or visit home brings me so much joy

i continue to collect data points suggesting that a craving for human authenticity will be part of the backlash to the world of lies and artifice we are building
Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Two and a half centuries after her birth, Jane Austen remains a master of social wit.
Born in December 1775, she wrote six novels that examine manners, morals, and the marriage market, and she published anonymously in her lifetime. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

![Comic. [Three chess games next to each other. There is a diagonal yellow grid highlight from the pawn in the top left corner of the third chessboard to the bottom of the middle chessboard where there’s a clear path. The player positioned near that bottom section has moved to look at the third chessboard.] [caption] It doesn’t happen often because it requires micrometer precision, but if two chess boards are *perfectly* aligned, it’s actually legal to move pieces between them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreibsc2od6ic3qzpnfiyukzbflxuqltumikiofxptnhkojaob4uaui4@jpeg)

Had people say to me it's a waste to own physical media multiple times now, they'll all be in a landfill eventually.
I sincerely hope everyone saying pirates eveything cause I can't imagine the hellscape of only relying on currently streaming shows or only playing old games with current re-releases
