this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit
you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table
you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast?
The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

Imagine not knowing what the word nihilism means and using it like this
twitter is like, a bunch of good journalists who post stuff and then you get annoying ultra-right wing Nazi bots in the replies. bluesky is a bunch of good journalists who post stuff and then you get annoying nihilist leftists in the replies. both are suboptimal.

If you gotta pay people to collect signatures for your ballot initiative and that’s the only way you can get it on the ballot…it deserves to miss the ballot
Democratic state senators’ pursuit of new barriers to Washington’s initiative process ended quietly on Tuesday. Dubbed the “initiative-killer” by opponents, it did not get a vote before a 5 p.m. procedural deadline. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/02/17/f...
Foes called it the ‘initiative killer.’ Now it’s dead in the WA Legislature • Washington State Standard
A Democrat bill, dubbed the "initiative killer" by critics, failed to be voted on in the Washington Legislature Tuesday. It's dead.

So claiming that “Gavin Newsom signed pro-trans bills last year” is a completely meaningless statement. He had no choice in the matter.

So one of the Newsom defenders posted a list of pro-trans bills that Newsom signed since the Charlie Kirk interview in order to try to defend him.
I had a hunch so I looked them up.
All of them were passed by the legislature with Veto-Proof majorities.
Every. Single. One.

I’ve been playing on Steam Deck for a while and I am constantly impressed with how good the controller implementation is
Probably gonna pick it up on Switch 2 even though I already own it on Steam. It’s such a good game

I (Aidan) have been checking this out for the last week, after dipping my toes into the PC version, and, man, I can't believe how well they've managed to make it work with a controller. I know they'd already put in the work with steam deck, but I'm still amazed.

Gary Locke is directly responsible for a lot of the current state of Washington state budgets
Former Governor Gary Locke is present in the gallery for the debate on the high earners tax, and just got a shout-out from President of the Senate, Denny Heck.
It was Locke who led the charge to reinstate Tim Eyman's I-695 over a quarter century ago. Now Locke is watching as Democrats buck Eyman...

When I tried to call out the fact that water concerns require literacy in how water supplies are reported, and are also much smaller than pretty much any other industry, people got super mad

I dont know where all you #AI water hawks have been while the U.S. oil industry alone causes 1,087,800,00,000 gallons (that’s over a TRILLION) of wastewater ANNUALLY.
You could make a wastewater barrels line up to the moon and back 28 times over.
Where have you all been??!!
