Pretend human and own worst enemy. What am I doing here? Where is this? Do I really need to share my opinion on anything? Why should anyone care? Ignore the creature behind the curtain!!! Do not perceive!
Pinned
Nope.

thrilled to report that if Pope Leo is ever canonized as a saint, his jerseys will indeed become second-degree relics, and I unironically hope I live to see this
Omg wait @clairewillett.bsky.social are all of the Pope’s jerseys relics now????
He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

I appreciate that the main takeaway from this lesson is that science can't ever really be "apolitical."
11-year-old: Our new science project is so frustrating!
Me: How so?
11: We're designing an earthquake warning system, and we could only get it to 59 minutes and 2 false alarms, and it still cost $123M, which means cutting road and school budgets. It's impossible!
Me: Sounds like that's the point.
