This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)
"retail theft" is such a spectacular lie of post-pandemic reality-creation. it gave cover for companies to expand the surveillance state, raise their prices, and close stores in slightly less profitable areas, conveniently turning the actual solution (hire more employees) into a total non sequitur
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
Very much enjoyed this 😊
A friend of mine was asking last night about how to make their chat/Discord server more friendly to queer people and women, and I've really found that in order to make a space friendly to that, you have to basically make it unappealing/hostile to random straight guys, like they are bad bacteria
Don’t expect me to read some clunky, poorly written piece just because you agree with the argument it’s making. Good points deserve to be supported by decent writing.
Underrated cat mood: when they’re like “where we goin?” And follow you from room to room
I know my minuscule footprint on the web is probably not going to broadcast this to many, but if just once person I know sees this and subscribes Critical Distance will be one person closer to their goal. 200% worth it!

The long and short of it is: we are looking to bump our Patreon support up by about $100/month to reach a point where we can become truly sustainable. If just 20 people signed up for our Circle tier ($5/mo), we would hit that goal in no time at all.

I understand it's Real Hagiography Hours at Windows Central rn but the way the problems that occurred under Phil Spencer's watch, especially in the most recent years, are being pushed onto Sarah Bond as though she was the sole devil causing discord in the Xbox division is just very strange to me
Smells like misogyny.
Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity
so if nobody can release any games and nobody can afford the consoles, what then. cause it feels like that's where it's heading for everybody
One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.
Got to import it from Spain if you want the real deal.
most people in my life, if they didn't before, recognize what's happening to trans people. but there is a dedicated war against trans people happening not just on the right wing, but with the pundit class who seem to be getting on board to exterminate us because we're too annoying in their replies
A red octopus mascot with a blue tie and a white headband stands in a park.
Papatako, a hardworking octopus dad, is the mascot of Akashi City.
Bubblegum Crisis is like if Tony Stark was five lesbians who fight to overthrow corporations, so the best anime ever.
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
A YouTube prompt asking "How would you feel if a kid watched this video?" and the video is a commercial for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Five faces constitute the possible responses, ranging from a frowny face to one with a big smile.
choosing the frowniest face here because i think the first movie was terrible, this one (sadly) probably will be too, and kids deserve better than an empty melange of colorful but very corporate imagery for their entertainment
This might seem very simplistic, yet it amazes me how often it eludes some people: a good critic is one who who critiques the things they love, not just that which they hate. Too many people think critique is about the later, and that is a classic mistake.
Life is too short to waste it doomscrolling. You should be using these precious moments replaying a complicated platforming gauntlet in Silksong to return to a boss that’s defeated you 17 times
People, including fellow progressives, that care deeply about representation in games yet also give a huge pass to games mired in stereotypes about indigenous peoples will always disappoint me.
Scotland: a country in England
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good for them.
