gonna post some of those ambient jams that seem to be all the rage on Insta but instead of those immaculate spaces with cable management, potted succulents, sticker cutouts and other knickknacks, I'm just gonna have this kinda cable pigsty. And instead of clean ambient it's gonna be garbbled noise

oh this is RANCID I didn't even bother to look when I first heard about this but ew ew ew ew
For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

So since these things come in threes, what do we think the third shoe to drop is?
So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Its really funny what the long term *Political* consequences to this is going to be. A core demographic of the Conservative coalition is potentially either gonna vote against them or more likely stay at home. This after all the gerrymandering, and its all thanks to the price of gaming hardware.
If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Can't get this post out of my head lately...
I know I'm a broken record on this but: it's time to start looking at the history of iconoclast movements! The new stripping of the altars is coming and it involves smashing a lot of screens.
I wrote about how MAGA is being shaped by a politics of immortality, how Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom reflects this, and what it could mean for the future of Trumpism. Read at @liberalcurrents.com

Analogue Pocket is cheaper than this new even more evil edition of the Chromatic or $100 more than this vile company's original model and plays more than just GBC. If you want a GBC only device FunnyPlaying makes a GBC fpga console for half the price. Even financially it makes no sense to support it
wow...
there really is no fucking excuse for ModRetro apologists or fence-sitters now. plausible deniability is over, you losers.
lemme reiterate. if you put a game out on Chromatic, buy one, or even list it as an option for playing GB games, and you're instantly moved to my shit list. end-of.

Who is college for? And what does college do? are two questions of increasing urgency because if those of us involved in these institutions don’t provide compelling answers then the tendency towards reducing it to glorified job training will destroy every meaningful part of the endeavor.
