Nothing says "rock star" like a dumbass who makes "rock music" (charitable definition) and has been saying "keep politics out of music" for literal decades like politics haven't been a huge driving force for music for literally forever At least him relapsing might make the "music" slightly better

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

Words cannot express how unhinged of a statement this is, especially considering that this had to go through their lawyers and everything. I'm genuinely shocked.

If SimCopter counts, so too does Streets of SimCity, an absolutely janky and buggy driving game that I nevertheless have insane nostalgia for. And just like SimCopter, you could roam around your own SC2K cities!

I can't really see ten years ago as "retro" even though frankly it probably counts. Twenty years ago, though…

I'm reminded of Alec's own "you know what I'm not doing when I'm using a dishwasher? Washing dishes!" What you're not doing when charging at home is waiting for the car to charge, you're doing whatever it is you do at home like other chores or watching too much Technology Connections on YouTube

I'm inclined to agree. I've talked to a bunch of people bemoaning how an electric car would lengthen their stay at the "gas station" but seemed floored when I said "why would that matter if your 'gas station' is your own home?"

so uh, hyfetch has a really cute pride month animation that I didn't even realize it had until now because I don't run arch btw (might switch soon, Pop!_OS has a few minor ACPI issues that are becoming annoying enough that I feel like I should probably switch). Such a hyfetch thing to do really 💜

There's a car dealership in a small town up the highway from me that has the biggest American flag I've ever seen. Now I'm not saying that you can or should install a giant flagpole with a giant pride flag that would be difficult to get to, but I'm not *not* saying that either

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

This is, I think, a reasonable response. It's nice that this has happened, but it's simply not enough yet and Biden has refused to pack the Supreme Court to allow for a more reasonable take to win.

I mean, for me it's less "if the game has a sequel" and more "what if this boss has another phase that's even harder?" Because that happens on a regular enough basis that I just don't want to get hurt again 😢

Hot take: I get why people like Cinnamon as a DE — it hearkens back to the good old days when Windows wasn't constantly trying to monetize you post-sale — but it really just isn't my thing and I think whatever it does is done better by KDE.

F-Zero GX is the prettiest game on GameCube, but I have never been more tempted to scream at a game than trying to get through its story mode. F-Zero X had a more reasonable difficulty, I think, but definitely hasn't aged as well graphically (probably due to dealing with 30 racers).

Our trust is damaged in the justice system because… it's working as intended, and someone who essentially stole the 2016 election is getting prosecuted? Truly a real-life Tony Stark with a mind like a steel trap, this one.

My one complaint about Bluesky over The Website Formerly Known as Twitter is that threads are much more of a pain to post and manage. I mean, threads kinda suck on a site like this anyways, so it's not really Bluesky's fault, but an easier threading tool is something old birdsite did decently.
