Folks in health care: DO NOT FUCKING WEAR THESE-**ESPECIALLY** IN PATIENT CARE AREAS!

If I ever catch a colleague wearing these, I am reporting them to management, the state, whatever press outlets I can, and to the patient & their family.

I do not care who it pisses off. Just fucking DO NOT.

That “what work of art do you dislike” question is a trap to get me yelled and ruin my day, which I can already do just fine on my own

"SHIT"
"FUCK"
"NO"
"FUCK"
"SHIT"
"FUCK"

I love a lot of things about Predator, but I really enjoy it when Dutch is like, "We're a rescue team, not assassins," and then ten minutes later you find out a member of his rescue team is packing a minigun.

Presumably for rescuing purposes.

I like these books more than I dislike them, but the later books have some of the heaviest sexual violence I’ve read in anything. If you didn’t know that, bullet dodged in advance

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

I finally figured it out: this Iran war feels like the kinds of wars I used to have in Civilization II after I saved the game and felt like seeing how big a mess I could make.

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

It’s been a good trip for people reacting with audible surprise when telling them my age. That’s nice if mostly unimportant

Comicbook.com "Manga Publisher Faces #MeToo backlash"

That's certainly a way to frame the situation

what’s even more extraordinary is that the economy was mostly doing okay despite his absolute best efforts - as damaging as his tariffs and immigration policies are, we hadn’t tipped over into a recession

and so, unsatisfied, he decided to kick the economy in the dick with a huge oil shock

I read that first sentence while scrolling the rest and thought this was going to be about Miller

<sigh> I have immediately realized there is an alternate usage

Not that one

I’ve seen a few people on here say “unicorn hunting” and as someone who has been saying “looking for unicorn eggs” for years I strongly recommend that addition because every now and then you can get someone who reacts “unicorns don’t lay eggs”

Not often, but each one is a joy

I’m a little impressed at how much it is not an obstruction

There is a person here in a ~12ft tall inflatable Trogdor costume. It actually looks very good… but I am not kidding about the height. You could fit two people in it

“Which Korea?”

Depends where you measure it from

A map charting the course of the Yellow River over several hundred years. It’s a LOT of change

Like… the fuck you talking about the Yellow River moved on ENTIRE Korea in distance from the Battle of Hastings to the reign of Victoria?! And then most of the way back?

I love this, but I’ve got to do some Yellow River commentary here

Don’t love alternating between cosplay commentary and global crisis commentary

But the last sentence of my bio has been there since before I was on Bluesky for a reason

Synthesizing a few things I’ve seen on here today (perhaps poorly): there is not current capability for a ground occupation and probably not the will to create that capability, so when this “ends” is increasingly Iran’s choice

And it may not even stay with them

Tweet that says, "I’m sure this will make you sad too, but I’m also using Claude to second guess home contractors. The licensed electrician was lying to me (or just totally wrong) about the kind of wiring in my house and recommending an expensive and unnecessary job."

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about in just implicitly trusting AI and acting like it doesn't hallucinate.

If you had to hire an electrician in the first place, what makes you think you're qualified to judge Claude's output to determine if the electrician is wrong?

I pretty much guaranteed to leave here with AT LEAST one new hat though

I think I have passed a full-convention saving throw vs buying any Blokees Transformers for both here and later C2E2 due to packing light. This may be re-tested later at Fanime in SJ if I go

She is very tired

I was surprised anyway

Surprise backpack corgi!
