Officially the first person to mention Front Mission 5 on Bluesky. I like robots and games, especially ones that are turn based and where I can make numbers go big.

Seriously, this.
In researching which trans charity to give to for this work thing, the same small handful of names kept coming up again and again and again on the anti- side. This isn't a mass movement, it's fewer than 20 persistent, moderately rich arseholes backed by one extremely rich arsehole.

It's hard not to conclude that everything that's currently wrong with Western society up to and including the rise of the far right can be traced back to a handful of absurdly rich people who were unhappy that someone on the internet had the temerity to disagree with them.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Savage! 🎄 Lake Street Church of Evanston creates a nativity scene with gas masks to remind us that Jesus was a refugee.

Boy, they really screwed up the new 4K version of Mad Men. In this scene you can clearly see the ghost from Three Men and a Baby at the edge of the screen.

My main impression of Stalker 2 after an hour or so is that it has the worst flashlight of any game I've ever played

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

What's the best UK pro-trans charity to give to? Is it still Mermaids? I vaguely recall something about them going bad but I might have hallucinated that.
I have an opportunity to give some money to charity via work and want to make the right call

That New Yorker piece about Louis CK claiming that we're in the "post-#MeToo" era really boils my piss.
Nah. There will be no such thing as "post-#MeToo" while people like Louis CK can continue to have a career. He's proof that the work isn't over.
Fuck the New Yorker.

Michael Buble rerecorded Santa Baby as "Santa Buddy" because he didn't want people to think he was gay for Santa - which I think is a little Claustrophobic.

A while back a game was announced which looked like a sci-fi version of Sifu. I'm definitely interested but I keep forgetting its name, so I searched and (of course) an AI assistant chimed in and completely missed the mark.
