one thing I like saying to my cats in admonishment is "you know the rules" when they very clearly do not know and will never know the rules
New sentence I have just spoken aloud to a cat: "Act like you've been here before."
Get round thing in metal loop is so many sports.

They truly do not make games like this anymore.
A handheld card game based on the years of the show’s English version releasing in North America by a video game studio in Montreal, Canada.
They just do not make games like this anymore.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
The “white” in front of American citizens is really silent but it’s there
hey game designers on itch, if your game includes a lot of stuff, include a zip of all the files to download, signed someone that hates having to download 8-10 different downloads to get your play materials and stuff.
The number of _premium_ games that want location data is scary. It's my individual opsec hill I wish I could convince the world of.
You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐
My wife was showing me the news story while this post was on my screen.
That's the Crowley Frieda (Thoth) deck!
I have a question.
Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever.
If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.
As @alexandraerin.com said, if you're in the crowd it's not gallows humor, it's just part of the execution.
Got a friend asking for some accessibility focused reading, and it's been a minute since I started learning the topic.
Do you have a go to text to introduce the topic in 2026?
Please share!

PyCon US 2026 call for proposals closes tomorrow (December 19) and if you do something you can apply a computer to, or are into a topic that affects computing, you might be interested in speaking!

This is always the plan — they know the slop is slop so they will hire the original humans back at a cut rate to be slop wranglers, which involves more work and worse outcomes.

You know, the best part of Cyber Monday is unsubscribing from all of the online vendors you’re unlikely to ever use again.
We gotta find some way to go back to a time when we didn't feel compelled to give our take on everything, because now we have a constitutional lawyer weighing in on the attack on a trans college instructor to say that giving a student a 0 for not following directions violates the First Amendment
Also prompts the question: Would replacing the C Suite and the upper management doing that 57% with LLM driven chat bots actually cause any harm? And would the harm it causes be cheaper than the salaries?
I just read an interview with the narrative lead of a video game claiming that making games is harder than movies because they don't have one person calling all the shots and need to collaborate with a team of 400.
My respect for this company drops every day.
My TV network in my game The Networks, just re-released by AllPlay
OK, new AllPlay version of The Networks gets the official designer thumbs-up. Jeff Fraser made these tweaks while I was down for the count, and he did a masterful job sanding down the game's rougher edges.
Refs watching a replay where a player is shoved with both hands into the boards and needs to leave the gave to have no penalty is certainly a choice. #woho #SeattleTorrent
As an OG Riveters fan, it is legit hard for me to root for Hilary Knight, lol.
I do not have this issue with Corinne Shroeder, because goalies are always to be respected, even if they were on a Boston team.
A hockey sweater patch of a silver trophy on a tiered base. It says Isobel Cup Playoffs 2019 above the NWHL logo.
It's been a minute, but the hockey posting may return.
Seattle Torrent inaugural game and I'm sporting my Izzie win Thunstrom jersey.
"Framing it just like this makes me want Israel to annex it" uh
a) You have ZERO stake in the harms or impacts here, bb
b) you'd want an aggressive colonialism done out of spite?
c) all those violations of human rights and international law don't bother you? Guess not, lovely
d) oh just fuck you
