i’ve been spending my day trying to teach an XSLT how to produce Atom so the little endorphin boosts have been appreciated

According to all known laws of society, there is no way a meme like John Mastodon should be able to federate. Its referent is too niche for the necessary momentum to get off the ground. #JohnMastodon, of course, federates anyway, because John Mastodon doesn’t care what humans think is impossible.

@KitRedgrave the question is really one of agency; if games are a tool then the agency is on the tool-user, whereas if games are a preconfigured set of experiences then the agency is on the people who created that set

this has implications for how we talk about like, sexism in games; like if you do a sexist thing is it your fault for doing it or the gamedev's fault for programming it in? these approaches give different answers

NYT why you publish this article don’t you find it embarrassing

but here in New York City, white boys run around making sure people pay $16 on their toll exits

driving to and from pullman, oncoming cars have a tendency to flash their lights at you to signal there's a cop lying in wait up ahead and that's just solidarity

« To avoid detection by speed and red-light cameras, as well as bridge and tunnel tolls that can reach $16 for a car, scofflaw drivers cover plates with camera-proof screens and sprays, as well as stickers, tape and other objects. They scrape off letters and use temporary paper tags and even retractor mechanisms.

But as this tampering has proliferated, a hardy band of vigilante inspectors like Mr. Kuntzman has sprung into action, hunting for defaced plates to un-deface and posting their exploits online to raise awareness and urge more enforcement. » imagine being this much of a cop
