Throwing this out into the void, but shouldn't the conversation already be "We need to remove Trump from office"? Impeachment, 25th Amendment, and future elections are either unlikely remedies, or a ways off, but Trump is the problem, so why pretend otherwise? Play to your outs.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.

If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

We hit our 100th $5 donation last night so I’ll be making the $500 matching donation as promised in the next day or two. If anyone else would like to join me in my matching donation I wouldn’t say no 😛 desertbus.org

And thanks to everyone who’s donated so far! We’re already over $5000!!! 🥳
And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.

So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

When you're playing Pokémon and give a cop a Shuppet so he can do a Minority Report and this happens.

Handy dandy list of all the federal government accounts that just showed up on bsky

And I love that the cool US gov't accounts are excluded from this list

Best Buy Pokémon Legends Z-A Preorder is randomly a playmat. So that's neat.

Act 3 of Silksong seems like a fine place to break for new Pokémon.

But when am I fitting SMG2 in?

Summer Anime Ranking

Watched 10 Shows. Where simuldubs were available, watched those (excepting Hanako-Kun, which I watched with the dub delay, and Call of the Night, which I didn't realize had a dub.)

When we talk about celebrating small victories, that's about bringing yourself to brush your teeth or eat something on days you want to die. It's not about the wee little victory of making a corporation backtrack on doing a fucking fascism.

Maybe I'm just hopelessly naive at this point, but trying to do something productive in a dark time seems better than despairing.
Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Finally beat enough of Hollow Knight to feel like I could start Silksong.

So far, I like the premise of, "What if Hollow Knight but everything was just really cool all the time."
September 11, 2025 at 2:32 PM
It's not that Silksong is too hard, it's that I'm still not done with Hollow Knight and refuse to move on.

I was worried that the digital version of the Spiderman Magic set was going to suffer from needing so many legally distinct spider hero designs, but the more of the set that's spoiled, I'm realizing that Marvel already has plenty of legally distinct spider heroes running around. So maybe that works?
