As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Israel is blocking shipments of syringes and solar powered refrigerators from Gaza. This is limiting vaccination efforts against polio, measles and pneumonia. As if starvation and bullets isn't enough, now they are stopping disease preventing. This is unacceptable! www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I should make a version of ublock that replaces every ad with a playable copy of Doom
i don't click on new york post articles but i can't honestly say it's because of any principled stand. it's because it has so many ads that if you let it all load the page weight is around 2 gigs. you could load one article claiming that sidewalks are bad or you could run about 500 copies of doom

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

I’m on the jury for a different game awards event, and I really have to echo this.

We have like, 30-50 jurors for the event, and some of the devs/pubs gave the organizers 5 keys for us to… share?

No matter how cool a game looks, if we don’t have access to it then we cannot vote for it.
blog post boiling within me titled "indie publishers, you need to get your shit together" based on this year of indie pubs submitting games to IGF w/ a demo and then when asked for a dev build so anyone can actually judge it, either ghost or go "we will provide you with a build on the release date"

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

A new study suggests that are wrong about where the Black Death plague of the mid 1300s originated because we misunderstood a poem. This study suggests it began in Central Asia as opposed to East Asia and traveled along the Silk Road. phys.org/news/2025-11...
How a misread Arabic tale misled generations of historians about the Black Death's rapid spread
Myths about how the Black Death traveled quickly across Asia, ravaging Silk Route communities, date back to a single fourteenth-century source, experts have found.
