os caras me obrigaram a aprender essa bosta de idioma inglês pra conseguir navegar nos mares imundos da internet só pra agora traduzir todos os sites automaticamente contra minha vontade vaisefudeeeeeeeeee

E depois ficam com papinho de reajuste alto por “alta sinistralidade”

On Mass Effect, our love scenes -- soft-lit gentle scenes players got after getting to know their love interest for two-thirds of the game -- got called "virtual orgasmic rape" by Fox News. Nothing is respectable enough. They aren't attacking porn. They're attacking intimacy and openness.

I wrote something about how we're seeing the rise of the online "alpha male." This is someone who speaks in clipped imperatives, squeezes into tight suits, and performs for our feed. They present a vision of masculinity shaped by politics, tech, and 100 years of cultural history 🧵

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

"I can't get free until everybody's free." Ultimates #9 is masterful. It's comfortably the best comic I've read in 2025 and a stand-out issue in this tremendous series. @denizcamp.bsky.social continues to tell the most thoughtful, outspoken and bold superhero stories imaginable every month.

@ghildirthalen.bsky.social Catie, I don't know if you follow Noah Caldwell-Gervais' essays, but he just released his Dragon Age one (almost 7 hours): youtu.be/Vrd6GpZXvdk?... I'm not done yet, but really thought about you at 02:09:36, where he talks about Aveline.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

minha sensação é que minhas necessidades e prioridades em relação a informação e socialização na internet estão fadadas a desaparecer mesmo, é geracional. a garotada se relaciona de um jeito completamente diferente com rede social e é para eles que a internet no geral está se (re)moldando.

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

This is probably the major legacy of Gamergate at this point: the creation of a parallel economy of rage-baiting grifters continually trying to spin up “controversy,” generally aided by media outlets who are equally interested in farming attention. It really fucking sucks

And it becomes a way of enforcing gender conformity in all sorts of ways—it’s literally a Dykes to Watch Out For cartoon from 1995

CHARACTERS - DAY TWO: Kieran (Technically this is an addendum to yesterday, but I make the rules here so nyah!) Heading into DAI, I had a bite-sized problem on my hands. I knew Morrigan would feature. I also knew we were importing previous choices. So now I had to contend with: the Old God Baby. 🧵

sério a kamala a campanha inteira assim

Eu acho interessantíssimo como a cúpula do judiciário adora falar em “cultura da conciliação”quando eles são os primeiros a incentivar a judicialização. Parem de derrubar condenação de danos morais em valores elevados pra ver se bancos/planos de saúde não começam a topar acordo pré processual…

Mais um dia, mais uma vez Eduardo Paes

@madeiradez.bsky.social Madeira, lembrei de você esses dias. Achei um "video essay" sustentando que RUAS DE FOGO é o maior filme da história* - www.youtube.com/watch?v=O79s... (*por 20 minutos)

Apparently the usual suspects are upset at how “woke” the new Dragon Age is, an apparently sudden and unexpected development in the series. Fucking tourists.

A morning cup of coffee may do more than just perk you up, according to new research.
