That’s an interesting read by LocalThunk. Crazy rapid development from hobby to main focus on a deadline and the health implications that come with that stress.

Tagging @dansup since social.lol seems to also be suspended on pixelfed.social.

Does Pixelfed use the same reporting/moderation process as Mastodon? I’ve never seen any reports about social.lol members, so the reason for the block/suspension is unclear.

Ooooh, la. Now that's a pretty bit of kit. If it wasn't crowdfunded I'd be more tempted but hopefully the campaign goes well and eventually they'll be for sale.

@joncruz @ctietze That hallway fight in the first series was a masterpiece. Not just the storytelling but the mechanics of it. They did like 4 Texas Switches. Even little details like the rope bindings on his fists getting shredded. I gushed about it at the time - https://jwz.org/b/yiLH

Anyway, the opening fight from the new series is, I'm gonna say, not as good a story as that hallway fight, but possibly technically more challenging!

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”
-Elon Musk, Feb 28, 2025

“In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
-Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials

• gifv: A short clip of the Dr. Emilio Lizardo (possessed by the Red Lectroid Lord Whorfin) putting a large switch on his wrist, a clip on his right ear lobe, and another on his tongue. He then closes the switch on his wrist, completing the circuit and receiving a jolt to his noggin. Presumably all in an effort to access the internet.

A an under-appreciated contributor to the evidence-free culture of frontend's Lost Decade has been the pervasive use of Monty Hall Rewrites to justify tech stack choices.

Georgia Won’t Say Who’s Now Serving on Its Maternal Mortality Committee After Dismissing All Members Last Year

Before ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, the names of committee members had been publicly released. Now, Georgia says releasing the identities would be a violation of state law.
