holy shit #StudioKillers wants to make an animated series

"When Gawker was murdered in a terrifying blow to freedom of the press, a shocking number of other journalists said the site deserved it [...] They don’t say that Gawker unionizing made conditions better across the industry."

I'll say it: My industry owes a huge debt to the folks at Gawker and related sites for its trailblazing organizing. We all talked about it. We all waited to see what would happen. We all learned, and some of us followed.

I find the saying "X puts their pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else" to be ridiculous. I hate putting on pants that way. Just sit on the edge of the bed or a chair and stick both legs in at the same time. Apparently this makes you a super person or something.

TIRED: late capitalism

Here's the commission I've done of @prin 's OC! I'm super happy with it.
I'm also still open for commissions - my prices etc. are pinned to my profile!

“It’s not fire, it’s capitalism”

@cjd @Wolf480pl Since human history shows a long term, steady decline in death by violence in concert with the growth of agriculture, industry, urbanization, and technology generally, I'd say anarcho-primitivism has it exactly backward.

@grainloom these are extremely common in the Torah and the Koran and often the reason why lines which seem contradictory are so close to each other, as part of this poetic clarification and emphasis that doesn't really come up as much in modern writing.

I know why the current BCPL compiler doesn't support this use.

History lesson: BCPL precedes linkers. No joking. So when BCPL produces its output, it's pre-linked, all ready and waiting to run immediately. Separate compilation is supported through its "global vector" concept, essentially a single, centralized jump table and global variable table. *Exactly* like the GOT in PIC binaries, except that it's managed by the OS and whose elements are allocated manually by the programmer.

I think politics was broken as soon as the right realized that they could just do EVERYTHING in bad faith. NOTHING is genuine.

And then that started spilling over from their politics to all of their intellectual and social interaction. They even invented the phrase "virtue signaling" to tell us that they has become complete nihilists about good faith participation in anything.

Society hasn't even fully caught on, much less begun to work on an antidote.
