It wouldn't surprise me, unfortunately. The whole point of slandering transfolk by claiming shooters come from that demographic is to stir up hatred and try to get them attacked, and as near as folks can tell from available data, it fucking unfortunately works.

Still, this exact same thing was tried with Uvalde, and for what it's worth the evidence of it is currently a linkedin page that hasn't even been confirmed to belong to the shooter. That's it.

I'd very strongly recommend waiting for some confirmation on that one -- from what I can tell, the entire basis for that claim is the pronouns on a linkedin page, with nothing else indicating it at this time and other things (like family/loved ones pronoun usage, which isn't a guarantee but it's got more weight than the other evidence) indicating otherwise.

It's possible, but it also wouldn't be the first time certain folks tried to paint a shooter as trans despite that not actually being the case.

The older one didn't have a win condition, iirc (or if it did, you could just keep going), just a (very difficult to actually occur) lose one. Was basically meant to just be played until you got tired of it, then maybe come back some other day for a few runs, or whatever. It was a different sort of design than this newer one, more sandbox-y. Better or worse probably falls more on taste on that front, heh.

If casual nudity was shunned where and when they were made, they technically are porn.
My dude, the statue was Michelangelo's David, one of the most famous works of christian art in human history. It's not porn, not by the standards where and when it was made, not by the standards of the modern era, not by the standards of anyone not bugfuck nuts.

Decker looks promising,
... this confused the hell out of me, because there's another roguelike with that exact same name and premise that predates it by literal decades (it released in '02). I probably spent dozens of hours playing the old one over the years, it was pretty engaging, especially around the period it released.

We'd get to find out what a yote king looks like, probably.

Jesus ducking Christ Florida.

Apparently centuries old statues and paintings of naked folk are pornography.

While I am weirded out by casual nudity, just ‘cause it’s naked doesn’t make it porn.
The context for this is that it happened at a public charter school -- which in actual english means it's a private school that figured out how to grift money from the state. If you're aware of the pretty much fucking ubiquitous character of these things, basically everything about what happened there is completely unsurprising, from the parents involved making the complaint to the decision makers capitulating to it. They're more or less the rotten taint of the US educational system (which is saying something, because the US educational system is pretty fucked up on a lot of levels), and for once this has less to do with "florida" than it does with the stateside private school grift.

Which, to help folks that aren't aware of the general character of public charter schools, have an interview with the chair of the school board involved. Warning: US reactionary brainrot ::)

Honestly, the answer to "does anyone still listen to <existent music genre>" is yes, these days. There might not be a huge pile of folks that create and listen to the whatever, but there's a living fandom and creator scene for more or less everything. Older alternative electronica isn't even particularly out there or niche, I don't think.

Bouncing around that linked video kinda' reminded me of the stuff that gets posted on the shivelight youtube channel, for that matter. If the specific form of 90s alternative electronica isn't "in" nearly as much, there's probably a descendant in psydub and shamanic downtempo and whatnot.

It's a spring engine game, for what it's worth -- same as Zero-K and a pile of others. Basically a more modern open-source engine built to run TA and things like it.

(can't even estimate, but it's somewhere well over 300)
It's from like a week ago, but trying to figure out a way to mass bookmark the things so I can comfortably clear out the cache and whatnot and hopefully make it stop crashing constantly (it's gotten worse since an update, go figure), I managed to find something that gave an exact count of the tabs I have open on the tablet browser!

...

by "well over" I apparently meant "by double"; the exact count was 622. ~1400 tabs total between desktop and tablet.

Pretty sure I've hit higher than that before, but it's a respectably silly amount regardless. And seriously, for all it's giving me problems lately, it's still working -- there's some kudos to be given to whoever's handled Opera's mobile browser. The thing can take some stress and still function to some degree.

912
Heck, I don't even really worry about heavily pre-seasoned (I pile stuff on pretty decently when I'm cooking myself these days), it's just the seasoning kinda' needs to be something that's not going to try quite so hard to kill me, ha. There's plenty of stuff that tastes good without quite so many health concerns, folks just prefer to lean real hard on salt and/or sugar first, and everything else a distant second. It's a pain for both culinary variety and heart disease, natch.

913
Ech, I remember looking at those not too long ago and, just. It'd be nice if they had a version that wasn't literally 5 times saltier than the cheap meat burger patties I've been subsisting on lately, y'know? I am willing to try these things if they're willing (able?) to not try to kill my blood pressure, heh.

It's... not difficult with wiring and larger things? It's like humans and our nervous system, there's dozens of miles worth of the thing stuffed into an adult human, and we're a lot smaller than a car (our nerves are also a lot smaller than your average wiring, but still).

I just get the mental image of some idiot rolling down the window to flip someone else off, but their dumbass went sideways to do it and didn't have a seatbelt on, so they just fall right out the window.

I'm sure at some point in human history some idiot pilot's already done something similarly stupid and fell out the flying whatever to their death, so it's not even that far out of a thought.
