It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

New song! This one was directly inspired by the February 2026 #VGenChallenge theme, "Rose"! @vgen.co

Zitatkachel von Jatin Malik: The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

if someone is saying shit like "it's lowkey biphobic that you support AOC even though she won't legalize cannibalism" or "you realize that expecting your room to have windows a luxury belief right" what you're seeing are the charged particles being shot off from polycule fission

An attempt at a #jester hat for #pixel_dailies! I don't know how to feel about the lighting or shadows at all, but I think I did alright on the shape!

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

“Why is AI helping me write a song or tell a story? Send some shit through a black hole; do something that we can’t do. Or dig a ditch; do the shit we don’t want to do. Why is it coming after the stuff that we essentially need to do to be human beings?”

Forgot to upload this at 6:26 p.m. lol! A #glass of water for yesterday's #pixel_dailies. Nothing fancy, I wasn't feeling particularly imaginative and was having a tough time with audio client work all day 😬

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.

I did not give myself enough time for this #Bomberman edition of #pixel_dailies. In hindsight, would have been more effective to just go half this size and stylize it a bit, or go twice as big and give him an interesting pose!

Ah well, nobody operates at their full potential all the time!

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato.

Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

Aaaand another late entry to @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies for #Courtyard yesterday! Crude at best, especially the shading, but I still have a lot of experimenting to do before I figure out lots of this.
