You don't have to finish your game backlog.

Video games are not work. They are not essential to life. Nothing bad will happen if you don't play them.

I feel strangely relieved to go on Mastodon and see people complaining about tech. If it's that and not USPol it's a good sign

I keep wanting to do the "Captain, it's Wednesday" meme but then I remember it is in fact Friday night and it has simply been a hell of a week

@waitworry This is the attitude I developed after game industry layoffs

Folks, there is 0 evidence that Steam passwords have been breached. Unless and until credible evidence occurs, please do NOT urge people to change their login credentials and please do NOT boost other people's toots doing the same. Creating unjustified anxiety about a non event does a disservice to us all.

Please boost for visibility.

Also it is not yet finished, if you care about that

It's apparently #webcomicday so here's the comic I've been obsessed with recently: https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-1-cover

It's about magical girls. Anything else I could say would be a spoiler. The less you know going into it the better

The black hole’s extreme gravitational field redirects and distorts light coming from different parts of the disk, but exactly what we see depends on our viewing angle. The greatest distortion occurs when viewing the system nearly edgewise.

As our viewpoint rotates around the black hole, we see different parts of the fast-moving gas in the accretion disk moving directly toward us. Due to a phenomenon called "relativistic Doppler beaming," gas in the disk that's moving toward us makes that side of the disk appear brighter, the opposite side darker. This effect disappears when we're directly above or below the disk because, from that angle, none of the gas is moving directly toward us.

When our viewpoint passes beneath the disk, it looks like the gas is moving in the opposite direction. This is no different that viewing a clock from behind, which would make it look like the hands are moving counter-clockwise.

CORRECTION: In earlier versions of the 360-degree movies on this page, these important effects were not apparent. This was due to a minor mistake in orienting the camera relative to the disk. The fact that it was not initially discovered by the NASA scientist who made the movie reflects just how bizarre and counter-intuitive black holes can be!

apparently there is a “rave collective” in toronto that has offered to be on-call for any reports of right-wing protests to bring a portable sound system and drown them out with 200bpm hardcore acid techno

i am so fucking here for this

You might have seen a post being shared around saying Canada has opened up its suicide hotline to American citizens with Trump threatening a shutdown of ours in the US.

The number it links to is the Trans Helpline. This is likely a right wing attempt to try to flood and overwhelm the hotline and hurt trans people.

Please be careful and check on this before you share them. And if you see an account for a Jeras Ikehorn which seems to be bridged here from Bluesky, know this is the second time in several weeks they have blatantly shared misinformation that harms trans people.
