*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

The worst thing about a low of 75: it takes literally all goddamn night to cool off that much.
Sunday, 3:41 a.m., the weather app says it's currently 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The hourly forecast shows the temperature finally reaching 75 degrees at 7 a.m., after sunrise (and of course climbing back up immediately after that).

I've already forgotten whether it was the bus or the trolley, but a guy got on wearing a muscle shirt that said I FLEXED AND THE SLEEVES FELL OFF, and I just want to put a thank you to that man out into the universe for brightening my day.

you already know (after some delay) what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, or just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't tend to need the help. with that said, onwards!
an edited version of the box art for the dreamcast survival horror game Blue Stinger. the face in the background has been replaced with a picture of my fursona (a pink kangaroo), and the title now says Spacetwinks Rec Thread. 'Sega Dreamcast' has been changed to say 'Online Kangaroo', 'Sega' was changed to say 'Dogs Bower', Activision is changed to say 'VideoGames', and 'Rated M for Mature' now says 'The Letter M', above the letter M.

With alt text for anyone who needs it:
A purple chart by the Sexual Violence Center of Cork (whose logo of a few steps leading up to a door is is in the upper right hand corner of the image, titled: "How to avoid sexual assault! :A Quick And Easy Guide*." The asterisk goes to the bottom left, where it says "*for perpetrators."

There are six numbered lighter purple boxes, stacked in 2 rows and 3 columns. The text in the boxes says the following:

1. DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S
DRINKS

2. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM!
IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING
SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT
ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

3. WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR
ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS
NOT RAPE THEM. 

4. WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE
HER ALONE.

5. IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND
SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

6. CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

You can't "not all men" when 1. there's no way to tell which men by looking at them 2. Cornell 7 3. the entire GROUP CHAT that said nothing. We have to assume all men because you've given us no other option. The end.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

like I hope it's obvious by now that all the "MeToo went too far!" bleating is because it got rapists in trouble and they don't think rapists should get in trouble.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

Still over 80 degrees outside at just past 11:30 p.m. With newer windows and/or better insulation the AC wouldn't have to keep running all night to keep it tolerable in here, but who knew a house in coastal SoCal was ever going to need insulation, weather's perfect all the time, right? LOLOL 🫠

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men
The stories never said why she was wicked. It was enough to be an old woman, enough to be all alone, enough to look strange because you have no teeth. It was enough to be called a witch. If it came to that, the book never gave you the evidence of anything. It talked about "a handsome prince"... was he really, or was it just because he was a prince that people called handsome? As for "a girl who was as beautiful as the day was long"... well, which day? In midwinter it hardly ever got light! The stories don't want you to think, they just wanted you to believe what you were told...

My first thought was WoW and I had some concerns, but then I realized I already opened Pikmin Bloom this morning. Walking around, planting flowers with my little buddies, acquiring cute outfits? Sign me up!

Pikmin Characters with Blooming Flowers
Alt: Three Pikmin (red, yellow, and blue); they are vaguely humanoid creatures with spindly little limbs, big heads, googly eyes, and a single long stalk on each one's head. They lean forward, then stand straight up as white flowers bloom on their stalks with a sparkle effect.
