It happened, I too had my GF asking "do you still love me?" once she turned into a skeleton. I said yes but I do wonder how life would be with that 'condition' 😂 last night I saw the new Root biome ❤️

Second hand embarrassment is on another level here. That is to say the least... Sadly there's also the dangerous fascists too ☹️ This is from yesterday in Predappio, birthplace of Mussolini. The usual rally they do each year.

It doesn't account for the fact that many out there are at least bilingual.

YouTube Auto-Translate is the perfect AI feature:
- It cost a lot of $$$ to develop
- Creators hate their videos being served poorly-translated without their informed consent
- Viewers hate being mindblasted by weird titles in their native language
- If they're not vacationing somewhere!

one of the most annoying things about youtube is non-optional auto-translation of everything on a page to your selected language and defaulting auto-dubbing to "on". It's practically a low-key insistence that no other languages exist. anyway I tried this extension to stop that bs n it seems to work

Came across panels about an Italian military op in Malta during ww2. To think that some current "politicians" praise the X Mas to this day. They were among the worst fascists.

Only because it's GCU, I'm back to supporting boardgame kickstarters. After the fuck up and the money lost to Mythic Games 😡 and their Darkest Dungeon that never got delivered, I grew cold to Kickstarter.
But I could hardly say no to Don't Starve 😭

🇮🇹🇵🇸 notice a certain ☠️ flag? Today there's a nation-wide strike in Italy. For the Global Sumud Flotilla and Gaza. I'm in Modena but this is happening all over. There's a big mismatch between the will of the gov and that of the people.

If anyone is wondering, the meeting the US president had with the top brass, and most of the things said during that occasion, seem to be lifted completely by the Eternal Fascism book by Umberto Eco. Funnily enough, out of all places it is based on a symposium held at Columbia University in 1995.

At this point it's just a matter of surviving somehow for 5 years or so until this bubble finally bursts completely 🙃

If the genovesi (those from Genova) really go down hard with this, that is a LOT of stuff being blocked. And I wouldn't be too surprised if another couple of major ports would join in. Trieste, Livorno, Cagliari, Ravenna.

I went out with friends and left on a Tapo camera at home to check in on Nix as she's been a bit meh lately. She's mostly been chilling on my desk chair and occasionally staring at the camera due to the IR. My little void demon ♥️

I'm giving Starfield another chance and made quite some progress. You can unlock powers, one of which shows the silhouette of creatures - handy VS cloaking enemies.
Seems like these spawn points for an ambush were not placed sufficiently underground (there's no lower floor). lol

Bluesky has a growth problem
Bluesky has hit 38M monthly users, up 8M since March
Once adding 5M users per month, it’s now slowed to 1.6M. A 60% drop
But post volume is falling—more users, less activity
It risks becoming a ghost town with a loyal but shrinking core
