TIL that dogging means exactly what I would have guessed (my fellow Americans need to learn that “raw dogging” is not sitting on a plane without a book). Someone’s definitely ending up in Slough House over this….

Look, I’m just saying that when a big stay at home defenseman (me) causes a turnover, skates end to end with the puck fast enough to beat the backcheckers, then drives the net, the sporting thing for the goalie to do isn’t to make a spectacular glove save. Let a big fella fulfill his dreams….

A little experiment with postprocessing on *baked* lightmaps in Godot (they're just textures after all!). If you snatch the internal lightmap data and do some arcane SubViewport shenanigans, you can also use it to do *spatialized* effects on the lightmap too. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

I always encourage people to, when they're making "best of" lists, include animated stuff in them. The point is to put animation right next to live action to normalize it. Equate them and don't section it off into its own separate list. Let them exist right next to each other.

To say that I miss it isn’t quite right because it implies I’d want to see more. It’s one of the rare shows that stuck the landing and making more seasons might be a mistake, but “Patriot” is amazing. It’s incredibly well written and acted, whip-smart funny and gorgeous.

Two panels from a full color Sunday comic the first panel shows a female presenting person giving a lecture. The text bubble reads: “Blonde creates the experience of a battle. Whereas Odyssey gives us a summary of one.  Questions so far?”

The second panel has two male presenting people sitting at a desk with their laptops open. One text bubble says “Yes what’s a movie?” The second text bubble says “It’s like a long TikTok only boring.”

It's a very conservative industry, so as soon as you try something new and it doesn't work, that lesson gets applied to anything even remotely similar FOREVER. It's why we need more studios, so a bomb at one doesn't rule out a different studio still trying. More studios = healthy experimentation

Looking over my California voters guide and we have: one proposition (prop 40) that would tax billionaires and two (41 and 42) that would immediately undo that tax through technicalities. Adjudicating all of this is a good use of government resources how exactly?

Sometimes, Facebook is amazing (yes, this is a real post). 4 gallons is a very specific amount. I have questions.

Hi folks. I'm looking for a local Catholic priest to bless about 4 gallons of water. Being raised Buddhist, I've never gone to a Catholic Church other than the Vatican on vacation. Does anyone know an open-minded priest in town? In fear of ridicule, I'd rather not say what the water is for.

To Catholics, blessed water has deep meaning. Perhaps, the local Episcopal or Lutheran church would work with you. Or perhaps The Home of Truth or the local UU Church. You will need to tell them what you're using the blessed water for.
