Gonna be taking a little break from socmed today, but here's your reminder to do your dailies!

One thing I appreciate about old internet humor is how blunt it was. Look at this image. Adding ANYTHING ruins the joke. It's perfect. Why? Because some guy on a message board went "I really want to dunk on this game, what's the least work I can do to get my point across." Pure Distilled Comedy.

Description Tsuchinoko are described as being between 30 and 80 centimetres (12 and 31 inches) in length, similar in appearance to a snake, but with a central girth that is much wider than its head or tail, and as having fangs and venom similar to that of a viper.[1] Some accounts also describe the tsuchinoko as being able to jump up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) in distance followed immediately by a second jump while still in the air.[2][failed verification]

i love that the wikipedia page for tsuchinoko has a passage saying tsuchinoko can double jump with a citation that has "failed verification." like, i'm sorry, have you seen a tsuchinoko? do you have them in a laboratory setting where they repeatedly fail to double jump to get to food? if not, then,

A viral video series is breathing life into one of the country’s oldest Black history museums Staff at Detroit’s Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History are spoofing what it is like to work at the legendary institution from a distinctly Black perspective.

oh i ran into someone who had copied out the FDA link and it's... a citizen petition from December. it's not an actual regulation, it's not even a proposal from someone within the government, it's something a bunch of terfs submitted on their own. so, this is indeed sensationalist and inflammatory

I really wish good news like this got the kinda hits the "this is bad but it can still be stopped" got.

We need more than just fear and panic. And we need our communities to rally around the "this is bad can still be stopped" coverage by following through on the "can still be stopped" part.

Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year: The unstoppable rise of renewable energy Clean energy infrastructure is being deployed with unmatched scale and speed—and China is leading the way

A ‘good news’ article about the unstoppable growth of renewables. Particularly as we see the volatility of the oil industry, the faster we dump fossil fuels the better. www.science.org/content/arti...

just a heads up, that article going around about the FDA and a 'registry of trans women' comes from The Needle 'News', who have a track record of sensationalist and inflammatory reporting, take anything they say with a grain of salt until someone else backs it up

CJEU press release: Member State legislation which does not permit the amendment of the gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to freedom of movement is contrary to EU law A Bulgarian national was registered at birth as being male, with a name, personal identification number and identity documents corresponding to that sex. She currently lives in Italy, where she has begun hormone therapy, and now presents herself as a woman. She instituted proceedings before the Bulgarian courts seeking a declaration that she is a female person and to have her civil status data amended on her birth certificate. Despite the medical opinions and legal assessments confirming the gender identity claimed, her request was rejected. According to national legislation, as interpreted by the plenary assembly of civil chambers of the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation, the term ‘sex’ must be understood in its biological sense, excluding any amendment of the particulars relating to sex, name and identification number. The public interest, based on the moral and/or religious values of Bulgarian society, thus prevails over the interests of transgender persons. Hearing the dispute, the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation has doubts as to the compatibility of that legislation with EU law and has referred the matter to the Court of Justice. In its judgment, the Court holds that EU law precludes legislation of a Member State which does not permit the amendment of the gender data in the civil status registers of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to move and reside freely in another Member State. The Court emphasises first of all that, while the issue of identity documents falls within the competence of the Member States, they must exercise that competence in compliance with EU law...

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity

Cirno Lifts a Boulder

Finished my first playthrough of Cirno Lifts a Boulder and it's a delight. Such a charming and breezy little game that's filled with charm. It's simple and short but that works to its favor because of how tight knit everything comes together. Highly recommend this one.

This. Ideally everyone would have continued to mask since 2020. But the second best time is right now. If you don’t mask everywhere, at least do it again for higher-risk situations (i.e. traveling, conventions, doctor appts).

Huh!

I had a dream that they made an open world Muppets platformer that played like Mario Odyssey and you played as Elmo and Kermit. you accessed sublevels through TVs with the pbs logo and the sublevel backgrounds just had "this game was made possible by players like you." written all over

Judge Orders Colorado to Stop Throwing Prisoners in Solitary for Refusing to Work Years after voters amended the state’s constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards “compel and coerce” work.

Colorado is the first state where advocates have secured a court ruling forcing prison officials to stop using solitary confinement to compel labor from incarcerated people. “It’s exciting and it’s amazing,” says one advocate in the state.

I love good news!! I hoard it like treasure. 💰
