Look at this 4th cen BC Greek antefix, proof that our ancestors also appreciated A Very Good Boy. 13/10 would pet
A terracotta sculpture of a the head and neck of a herding/shepherd type dog, seen from the front, with his head tilted and one ear up as of he has just been asked, “who’s a good boy then?!” and he’s thinking, “is it me?! could it be me?!!” The same sculpture as described in previous, but seen from the side. The dog is very good and I would like to pet him, 13/10 ancient fella

Hi I wrote about the Sega Master System and how it’s been criminally overlooked because everyone goes on about the NES like it was the only 8bit console in the world look don’t get me started

Master System at 40: the truth about Sega’s most underrated console
Forty years ago, the Nintendo Entertainment System dominated the markets in Japan and the US. But in Europe, a technologically superior rival was making it look like an ancient relic

You got wormfished by a guy who eats roadkill and looks like fucking Krang. A guy you were tasked with covering neutrally, for half a milly a year, while he ran for fucking president on an "every disabled person should die" ticket.

Well, now your career is back, and so is measles. Well done.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.

Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

(This is a slightly cleaned up version of my two Bluesky threads on Jennell Jaquays, preserved in a hopefully easier to read format. Thank Amanda P for reminding me that having these things stored …

my novel VEINS is now available at drewtoothpaste.com and i'm including some excerpts here. it downloads as a PDF and it's $4.99
Veins by DREW I started doing slogans when I was 18. That's just a phrase you say to advertise someone's company. They're free to make, but they're worth a lot if you get the right one. For example, "It's cold. It's dessert. We call it ice cream." That works for any ice cream company. Or you can make a specific slogan like "Take a bite out of life. Apple Computer." The logo of Apple has a bite in it, so it's perfect. Every company needs a slogan so you remember them. Even regular things like lamps need a slogan. A lot of people probably think lamps are no big deal, but wait until it gets dark outside. Then you really appreciate them. A hundred years ago when it got dark, we would just have to go to bed, but not now. "Thanks, Lamps." That's a lamp slogan. "Don't live half your life in the shadows." That's another one they could use. In Finland, they only have sun half of the year, and they get depressed. It can happen to anyone. Companies like Apple or lamp companies can afford to spend money on slogans, because it's all profit. You don't need anything special to make a lamp. All you need is a lightbulb and a dream. Put quotes around that, because it's another great slogan. Bug spray is really expensive, so I tried to catch some spiders and put them in my apartment, to be natural predators. I only got 6 spiders, and after I put them under my bed, all they did was make spiderwebs. I had to pull all the spiderwebs I found (they are gross and make your apartment look dirty) but they kept making more every day. I got tired of pulling them, so I squashed the spiders I could find and looked on the internet to find other predators. When I searched online it said the main predator of bugs was lizards, but I didn't want to get them. Lizardwebs would be even worse (because they are bigger than spiders) and I didn't want to be sitting at home and have them stare at me with their dead eyes. You don't know if they are going to just snap and bite you, or s---- on your bed, because they don't have eyebrows, or emotions. I still don't like swimming. When I drive by the water park I start feeling nervous like someone's going to yell at me. They'll take my glasses, and they'll put me on the slide, and when I get to the bottom I can't find my glasses, and I'm cold, and my skin is poisoned. Swimming for me is like going to a store, and as soon as you walk in, they put a blindfold on you and spray Raid. Then, when you get back home, everyone tells you "I love that store."

In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
Retrophrenology: It works like this. Phrenology, as everyone knows, is a way of reading someone's character, aptitude and abilities by examining the bumps and hollows on their head. Therefore - according to the kind of logical thinking that characterizes the Ankh-Morpork mind - it should be possible to mould someone's character by giving them carefully graded bumps in all the right places. You can go into a shop and order an artistic temperament with a tendency to introspection and a side order of hysteria. What you actually get is hit on the head with a selection of different size mallets, but it creates employment and keeps the money in circulation, and that's the main thing.
