The team that made Cloudpunk, one of my all-time favorite games (no, really) just released their follow up, Nivalis Nights, a Cyberpunk life sim that takes place in the same world-space. I can't download and get lost in this fast enough.

The press coverage of the Academy of Natural Sciences has gone from "Oh how sad" to sounding like a hostage negotiation. Which maybe sounds bad, but elected leaders, the press, the people online, all saying "You don't have to do this, man" is better than mourning. share.inquirer.com/YTQg0s

Philadelphia shouldn’t give up on the Academy of Natural Sciences’ historic museum | Editorial
The Academy's 150-year-old building faces roughly $150 million in deferred maintenance costs. While that may seem daunting, it is not insurmountable.

This is pretty much me. I got Covid then health problems I had got worse *and* I developed new issues. Then my 2nd infection made all of that stuff worse *and* I developed more new issues. So yeah, Long Covid isn't just developing new health issues, it can also worsen existing issues.

I’m only seeing people with ME or Long Covid sharing this. If you’re not affected, can you please read it & share? Ableist propaganda goes viral all the time, which encourages outlets to publish more of it. Can we please make the truth go viral instead?

Stop calling people who wear masks and take Covid precautions the “forever covid” crowd. We’re literally the only ones trying to eliminate the virus. It’s not gone. It’s not over. It’s still disabling. People who deny this reality are the “forever COVID” crowd.

QRP with your moon art. Some fanart of Hades 2 from a secret santa exchange last year
A poster of Melinoe from Hades 2 in a pose with her ghostly arm raised with a claw like hand, head slightly tilted down and eyes closed as her clothes billow. She is standing in the "V" of the word "DIVINE" but the D I and E are highlighted in a green stroke. There's text above the 'NE" of Divine that reads "You chose to die in glory, not to live in peace" and in the top left corner sideways text going down the left side of the poster reads "I understand the need to cut Time down to smaller bits, I do. Hours cut down to minutes. Minnutes cut down to seconds. Because the whole of it, my girl... is too much to fathom." 

Behind Melinoe is a faded full moon in a sort of holographic cast.

Okay a tiny thread because people are going to freak out: This exploit in particular takes advantage of a special command that renders images (via attribute escape). If you have an overlay that processes images (most don't) then yes, this is your problem. Overlay must explicitly create img DOM.
A picture of the exploit, using a command that explicitly includes an image file extension, but also would escape out of the src attribute of an image such than an onerror attribute can be added to the img tag. This onerror attribute can run explicit javascript immediately.

Default behavior for most chat widgets is if you have an image it will not attempt to modify image links into actual HTML image tags. Your overlay/overlay service must explicitly be doing this for you.

what do you know the most predicable thing happened when a bunch of you decided lolcow farming was ok when you do it
lastditchbar on instagram:

Our community should expect more details in
the future. Today we need to address the safety
of the community itself. Stop harassing Soe
Noire. It is neither productive, progressive, nor
valiant to attack and harass a black patron. He
has been a collaborator and performer of Last
Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his
mind about accountability and repair from the
bar. There are so many misconceptions due to
the disorganization of the Globe's article. He did
not call for a shutdown, nor did he call for the
bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not
disparage the owner for being homeless. As a
result of this abysmal journalism, Soe has been
getting additional threats, slurs, and
harassment, and now he is being reported to the
police over something he did not do. This is not
supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is at its core,
anti-blackness hysteria.
