so often "is this a vocal stim?" just comes down to "can I picture David Letterman saying it to Paul?" Hump-plumping injectables, Paul.

i really can't communicate strongly enough how much these guys rock youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?...

Holy shit this rules, thank you

Everyone should protect trans and gender variant kids

Okay so now I know why people don't like burpees 💀

last night I fell asleep with the Zelda: Ocarina of Time shop theme stuck in my head and this morning I woke up with the same song stuck in my head so I made this

I used to do a new years eve karaoke party at my house, we would set up the drum kit in the living room and start singing "In the Air Tonight" at just the right moment to play the big drum fill at midnight

The Mario 64 intro scene with a letter from Princess Peach, reading: Dear Mario. Please come to the castle. I'm down bad. Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool (Peach)

CATS from the video game Zero Wing (the All Your Base Are Belong To Us game), saying: "I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is Futile"

Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, saying to Richter "Get out of my house"

The transportation advisor from SimCity 2000, saying "YOU CAN'T STAY ON TWITTER! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!"

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

Hey, freelancers. Take five minutes and send out that invoice you forgot to send out. Next-month you will appreciate it.

I'm allowed to do this bit once a year

Two people, one of whom is at baseline strength, the other is 20% higher than baseline due to some kind of strength training.

Both get in a car accident on the same day, spend 3 week immobilized, and are released the same day.

The one at baseline is now at 80% baseline, the one who trained is 100%

Hi! Reading this thread sometime last year was a huge motivation for me to begin a strength training regimen. I'm now in my 14th week of thrice-weekly sessions at the gym, and I'm beginning to feel the results. Very much appreciate you!

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Incredible! The guy who starts the meeting by loudly pushing the amazing benefits of ChatGPT for organizing and productivity spends the rest of the meeting not knowing a single goddamn thing he's supposed to know!

I still haven't been back to visit. I miss the live oaks and the Spanish moss, the thunderstorms, the rivers and lakes and swamps and flowers and lizards and bugs. I miss the smell of petrichor, the heavy summer evenings, the sky. I wonder if I'll ever get to go home again.

I left behind a partner, and a cat (who passed after a year), my parents, my community and friends. I left behind the future I'd hoped for. When I first left Florida in 2013 I said I'd move back after I was 1) a filmmaker, and 2) a woman. I kept my end of the bargain. Florida didn't want me back.

I tried to move home to Florida in 2022, but that's when they were really kicking the anti-trans hatred into high gear. Around when they prevented Medicaid from covering gender care and started to look into charging trans people with the "wrong" sex on their drivers license with fraud, I gave up.

Now we're talking about it. You have fallen for my ruse

Fucked up and weird how using your body makes it get better at doing the stuff. Nobody is talking about this

I'm Still Not Over Losing My Book Review Gig You can still get the Humble Bundle of every book by Annalee Newitz and myself published by Tor Books for a pittance — please select adjusted donation! — and...

"The notion of making a living with A.I.-generated books appears to be based on the belief algorithms will be serving up book slop the same way we are force-fed other kinds of slop"

I'm still not over losing my job as a book reviewer. Here's why we need book critics:

I really have a viscerally negative reaction to videos of people talking directly to their phone camera. Clearly I am very much out of step with the mainstream here. I find it deeply unpleasant and will never voluntarily watch them, which means most of the social internet is not for me.
