If you see this repost your getaway vehicle.

(For those wondering why I posted a video game gif, it's Outrun. The vehicle in question is the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa)

Double-Breasted Latex Trenchcoats that bear your model number and have accents that synchronize to your eyes, which are serving as an audio visualization are the in thing this October.

My favorite shirt got an upgrade.

I'm not busy at all being shiny and cute on VRChat. Did you all know there's both a Daytona USA and a Ridge Racer world made by @z0ne.bsky.social ??

I decided to take some common advice found by the people I follow here... I've gone all in on the shiny side of life.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows:

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.

When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.

Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

If you see this, quote with a robot that is not from Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, or Transformers.

(This is the SDF-1 Macross. It skirts the line because a lot of Transformers were designed by the same artist. But it's from a different franchise entirely)
