Say 'spaghetti' again. Say 'spaghetti' again, I dare you. I double dare you, m*****f***er. Say 'spaghetti,' one more goddamn time!"

I just finished my second playthrough of #BaldursGate3 and I'm happy to say that I was able to quash the completionist in me.* This playthrough only took 80 hours! That's 30% less time than playthrough one took! Yes, your math is right, I've played 200 hours, and only beat it twice so far.

The latest "We're Here" email from @hankgreen.bsky.social and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social came with the subject line, "A good deed for a stranger," and for some reason my brain read that as, "A dead god for a stranger," and I was VERY intrigued.

One day there will be no more daily photos of Panko or Peanut, and knowing that makes me a little sad every time I see their photos. @imgur.com #imgur

Normalize adding the length of the video in your message when you send links to people so they know what they're getting into before they even click.

I'm glad I'm not important, because I hate having unaddressed notification icons up. Like, I have one work email notification up right now, and I don't want to even read it until I'm on my way into work, but that notification...

SQUISH. Thinking about this drawing of a Giraffatitan squishing some hateful person which I drew in 2012, apparently premonitively. Or perhaps it was just that certain besuited types have always been objectionable.

I just read Stephen Harper's open letter and see he seems to be suggesting ratcheting up production of fossil fuels in Canada -- a resource largely owned and exploited by American shareholders -- as the solution to save Canada from Trump.

Taking a pause in my #DungeonsAndDragons prep because I'm making the NPC city leaders incredibly unlikable and I'm worried that the PCs might try to take on the entire city just to kill these eight NPCs.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A win for copyright holders! This ruling found that using materials under copyright to train AI was not fair use.

Fascinating to see real numbers on this. Basically everyone I know, otherwise largely apolitical people included, is trying to avoid buying American products or crossing into the States.

In some countries a president can rug pull a hundred million in a crypto scam and basically get no headlines about it but in Japan give out a couple moonpies to your colleagues and you're definitely going down

I mean…

Spelled out in case anyone still doesn't get it: Gut the FAA -> wait for disasters -> claim it's ineffective -> privatize it for your buddies -> rinse and repeat for every institution -> entire country at the mercy of private interests with no rule of law -> a dictatorship as rotten as the IRI

CGI Pat Morita? I don't love that. I hope his estate was given a dumptruck full of money. #CobraKai

This video kicks ass: youtu.be/o2jzKo1RqWU?...

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

What I’m hearing is, if we shitpost hard enough, we can break AI forever

If I were a Canadian MP, I'd create a list of every American politician and media personality who's joking approvingly about or otherwise encouraging the idea of the US annexing Canada and ban them from Canada forever. They won't care, but it would show how seriously we're taking this.

It honestly feels like the American government and DOGE have figured out how to use Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies as a shield.

decided to watch a documentary on Hitler for funsies and they got to this whole thing about Hitler deciding revolution was ineffective and the best way to take over the government was to gain power through normal systems and then systematically destroy from the inside it and lolz what a funny idea

one of the strangest things about the trump administration is the aesthetic of self-conscious evil

So what exactly is the Project for Awesome? Since 2007, my brother @hankgreen.bsky.social and many friends and online creators have come together to host an annual 48-hour livestream in support of great charities. Over the years, we've raised over $22,000,0000 for a huge variety of charities...

Every time Trump opens his mouth about Canada, it makes me hope that some Canadian sniper is going to go off the rails and prove why our soldiers' skills are so widely respected.

The DOGE "force of super-geniuses" reinventing our $6 trillion government forgot to password-protect their website. Here's what it looks like right now www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

Give her what she really wants this Valentine’s Day - Reproductive rights, an ancient tome of curses, the souls of her enemies, and pockets in every dress.

“He visited Dachau and offered a few canned remarks about how inspired he was by the stories of the ‘unspeakable evil’ he witnessed… Then, when his trip to Europe concludes next week, he’ll return to the United States to continue overseeing the construction of internment camps to house migrants.”
