It's now midnight, which means it's been 12 hours since the KS launched. We're over 30% of the way to the goal in just 12 hours. I am SO incredibly grateful. I know I just made a post like this earlier, but... really. I was so nervous about how this was going to go, and now I just feel confident.

(1/2) And here's the incredible ArdSCSino Plus using this same method. What's so incredible about it? Like the ZuluSCSI Blaster, this SCSI emulator supports CD-DA playback with CD-ROM disc images! Unlike the ZuluSCSI Blaster, however, the ArdSCSino Plus exposes a simple 3.5mm audio jack.

An exchange which reminded me of this sad but true cartoon.

A four panel cartoon titled "Comics Future" set in a museum with comics art on the walls. It depicts the following exchange.

ADULT: "People used to draw stories in little boxes, and they called them comics. And the people who drew them were called cartoonists. And they had no money. And they were very sad."

CHILD: "What happened to the sad cartoonists?"

ADULT: "They all died. Sad, alone, stupid, and covered in dirt. Every last one of them."

The comic is sighed Sweater1 at the lower right.

Guess what? 🤔

Go Kart Island is in #SteamNextFest which starts LATER TODAY BY THE WAY.

Get on there later and give the demo a download, wishlist it, all that kind of stuff.

In return you get silly animals driving karts, what a DEAL! 🥳

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician even attempt to know this much about my people’s history or art or culture or struggle, and I’ve certainly never seen someone advocate for protecting us so fiercely at this level, ever. God I truly hope he wins.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

More progress today. It's starting to look like a Highland Cow. It took multiple takes to get the fur in a place where I'm largely happy.
