what happens when you take a year of singular, melancholy, esoteric moments and drink them all in a straight deep draught? walloped by bliss
Blind Alley is a singular strip of wandering, pondering philosophy
In the footsteps of Gasoline Alley and Peanuts, Adam de Souza's comic is populated with the flawed and fragile.

I was very touched to be asked to design a cover for MOUNTAINS ON FIRE by Aram Yardumian. Published by El Martillo Press, the book is something I highly recommend. Beautiful writing. Relevant as it ever was. Support this book by reading. It is worth it. www.elmartillopress.com/product-page...

Reminder to all my fellow Canadians not to do any of your holiday shopping at Chapters/Indigo. They try to sell themselves as a more responsible Canadian Amazon alternative but their CEO uses her wealth to support Israel's genocide of Palestine.
Indigo Kills Kids is a social campaign calling for a renewed push to boycott Indigo due to its CEO's involvement in the oppression of Palestinians and its complicity in the genocide in Gaza. #BoycottIndigo #IndigoKillsKids | boycottindigobooks.com

I just want to remind people that Louis CK masturbated in front of multiple colleagues over the course of many years many of whom because of it chose to leave the profession.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

At coffee just now with @lumpley.bsky.social, @epidiah.bsky.social, & Emily Care Boss, @acorncircus.bsky.social said “if you want new people coming into the space, you have to be prepared to have all the same conversations you’ve already had, because we haven’t had them yet” & he’s right.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

There're a lot of very cool creative folks--many still on itch--who've had their livelihoods threatened by bad actor payment processors and credit card companies. Support their SFW work. Support their NSFW work if it's still listed and buyable. Make sure they can keep on making cool stuff.

The statement provides zero additional context for why the game was actually banned and just hems and haws around feedback and guidelines without any specifics.
And of course they didn't, then there would be specific reasoning to challenge Valve legally. Not that that's an indie dev's big concern.
