Trump's FCC thinks you shouldn't watch this, which is a great sign that you should probably watch it.

This is what I'm calling 1.0 for Blight Club: Unauthorized. Main stats are now complete! 🎉

Player distribution: how much each player has suffered based on total length and episode count

Platform distribution: breakdown of Blights per console

Cumulative blight time: change in Blights over time

We are Out of Office tomorrow for the holiday - no streams. In the meantime, 1 like = 1 minute of extra blight Dan must endure.

Worth noting, @tolkoto.com has now surpassed @grubb.wtf in total playtime for the three largest categories (mainline, Blightning Round, and Blight in the Bank) as of last week's Virtuoso.

Small improvements since launch!

We've got more sorting options on the Blights list and you can change the sort direction.

Global stats to see total episode count and runtime depending on selected filters.

Fully customizable runtime chart so you can see specific combinations.

bro cooked with this
I've been cooking this for a minute and it's like 90% there. Still lots of data that needs to be organized into charts, but it's the foundations for something I think will be really fun to maintain. @tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf @danryckert.com @chucktowski.com

People who make games and the people who really love them want to take care of each other. And that extends to our neighbors in Minnesota. So proud of everyone. Thank you for helping us raise $263,660.

A broad approach like this is going to lead to moderation challenges, but it really is this easy to just say out loud "that's not art and this is a website for art".

If Democratic Senators actually wanted to take action against X, they could organize their congressional colleagues to boycott it indefinitely.

And yet, even Senators Wyden, Markey, and Lujan have been using X recently.
X’s Grok AI tool is being used to generate nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. This is unacceptable. @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I are demanding that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until Elon Musk addresses these heinous violations.
Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.

My new Mac Mini arrives soon. I can't describe how frustrating it is to turn on my PC every day and know that it's notably worse than it was the day before.
Microsoft has somehow shipped a bug in Windows 11 that makes the File Explorer flash white in dark mode. The bug is part of an update that was supposed to improve dark mode consistency in Windows 11! Oops. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/836199/...

The first time I heard "Candy Cane Lane" by Sia it dealt so much psychic damage that I'm cursed to think about that song all year. Now that it's December I'm in constant panic that when I walk around any retail store I'll have to hear it again.
