this is great. And we can definitely add some instructions in the future, e.g. "To be hugged twice a day, tucked in at night. Please don't spill any coffee or tea on me, and don't bathe me." Haha


This week's comic is for my home state of Pennsylvania and other swing states that will decide the US election.

Growing up in Cumberland County, I never really felt at home. Something always felt off about living someplace the civil war came to โ€“ that left scars on the area and took lives from local families โ€“ yet still had assholes flying Confederate flags.

Saddens, but doesn't surprise, me when I go home to visit my mom and see Trump banners all over the damned place.

in reply to ferricoxide

@ferricoxide Can't say I saw too many Confederate flags growing up, outside of a Dukes of Hazzard context.

Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov was instrumental in deciphering Mayan script. His whole life he tried to be co-credited with his cat Asya but his editors always refused. In 2012, the Mexicans honored him with a monument that included his beloved cat.

Well @Christoph S, this video says that Paderborn created the weirdest bank note in the world! And @Cass Cook Islands has one of the other weirdest bank notes!

We have the CI coins. They don't print their own notes anymore but I have some framed.


If you want to try out #Bluesky I have multiple starter packs for you to follow, like this one for game dev studios: go.bsky.app/VZ374ep

I honestly think BlueSky is nothing but a Twitter clone and nothing else, and will end just like Twitter, but again, this is just what i think, i don't know for certain but i'd like to hear opinions from other people.

Oh noy, thatโ€™s suprisingly early. I thought that Sony would release the game late 2025 but hey, Iโ€™ll take this. If it works well then Iโ€™m buying it.

Quite interested in playing this sometime in the distant future. If real life were a game, then my Steam backlog would be the final boss โ˜ ๏ธ

What do you mean by "we don't have proper search or reblog"? We've had proper search for a long time now and we had reblogs since day one, they're just called "boosts".


If you prefer "spoopy" movies for October, this one is hilarious! It is done intentionally in the style of cheesy 1950s horror films. Only, they have brought together all the funniest bits and left out all the boring bits.

This is so JOYFUL! Ed People videos himself asking pedestrians to teach him their favourite dance moves. In this video he shows all the dance moves he has learned from people around the world. Beautiful, happy, athletic, moving...wow wow WOW!

Just a note:

"You might have seen that Valve released a new Steam Controller a month or so ago."

It was Hori, not Valve.
