Yes I commissioned Darminki231 at Twitter to draw me Disco Elysium style

Is Samus Aran incel or volcel, the longest thread in the history of the forums, closed after 12,847 posts of heated debate

Does anybody track steam sales by interesting smaller indie games? I checked out two videos and it was just clowns talking over the Steam deep discount tabs. I have eyes so I don't need that, I want to be exposed to and take a risk on something new.

I'm working on a pitch for our school to offer semester based electives rather than just full year, building out a semester astronomy course for juniors/seniors as an example. I think this idea has juice.

They made an EU novel about fuckin Captain Frasier?!?

Did my extremely basic man ballot

The short form video content didn't make Mamdani the nominee. The short form video content was popular because his message resonated with people.

If he wins in November, he's going to need many competent progressive people who wouldn't touch city government with a ten foot poll to join city government. A long bench is needed. that's a lesson from Chicago.

5 year old playing leafgreen: "I FOUND A JIGGLYPUFF. It's a boy though so I'm gonna knock it out of the game"

trying out "more like Chad Lander" in the gc

I hope he got so mad he threw up

Libs can't even whine about ranked choice when our boy ran the table

Started Expedition 33 this morning. It lives and breathes jrpg, I love how the prologue revels in it.

Disagree. They only have labor law violation and clippy. Uber? That's labor law violation. Juicero? That's a clippy. All gig economy apps are labor law violations. All crypto are clippies.

Gonna be a contrarian (real conviction here, not trying to be contrary) and say that despite Fury Road being technically stronger that Furiosa is my GOAT

Imagine being a big Trump guy and then getting the presidency of Bush Jr. again

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Senator Gary Callahan has endorsed Andrew Cuomo!

The slippery slope is real, and it's the following: allowing people to complain about art being political to remove it is a total runaway train. All art is political.

My wife left me on read. She's fumbling a baddie rn.

scrawny 18-year-old about to fall out of an army helicopter over tehran: this is so epic. this is totally sigma, right babe? AI e-girl operated by a balding intelligence officer in virginia: that's right baby, Iran is totally cringe

spent my afternoon making a short little web game for New Yorkers called "Don't Rank Cuomo"... it has 10 levels. it's very realistic and challenging. can YOU don't rank Cuomo? play in browser (free): radiatoryang.itch.io/cuomo

Explaining to my kids that we are starting WWIII primarily because guys were mad they couldn't say retard anymore

1) This is excellent. 2) In a coincidence of parallel discovery, I've been working on something very similar. But instead of a svelte minimalist website, because I've been teaching high school this year it looks like a Summer workbook packet.

without ranked choice voting, these campaigns would be at each other's throats, instead they're practically running as a ticket. which is excellent for democracy and coalition building and also why i imagine the ny dems will try to kill rcv at some point in the next few years

And anti-capitalist lens makes it very clear that his primary competency is grifting government subsidies and contracts, leveraging all his capital to get more capital. Shitass system.

This might be the most structurally and integrally mathematical book I've read that isn't about math.

could somebody who doesn't have 5 kids and a job please tell me which if any of these to read, thx.

I've reviewed the MIT article on AI (specifically LLM) usage in education and how it doesn't make the brain do anything. I'm glad to have data on it but, like, of course. If you pay somebody to practice the guitar FOR you then you won't learn anything about the guitar.

I noticed one of the year's academic award winners at my son's middle school didn't go up for his award, turns out he got deported by ICE.

A bunch of men who haven't done a day of physical labor in their lives want my kids to go die in Iran and they can fuck directly off.

gronk is this true

Exceptional and well themed dungeon crawl.

"Daddy can you read Pokemon to me?"
