y'ever think about how capcom and SNK's "rivalry" in the fighting game market ended up with them both making parody characters of each other?
Dan is basically Ryo Sakazaki crossed with Robert Garcia. SNK's shot back is a little more subtle though. Yuri Sakazaki has a lot of very Ryu/Ken style moves apparently lol.
like, A Fierce Good Fight. fuck that's a good track. Masafumi Takada didn't have to go so hard making a track that good specifically and only for a difficulty selection screen, but they did.
Jun Fukuda's entries in the OST have some solid gold too, like Back to the Light and Corridor. Oh My Julia is a great high-energy track too
parasocial relationship discussion in private groupchat led to an EXTREMELY good panel edit by @itsnero, which subsequently inspired a new emoji
Food mention and example of brain goblins
(this toot inspired by me accidently, after being asked if I could get Miq a slice of toast, confirming I would get him a, and I quote, "cup of toast" right away, and now being unable to think of anything except liquid toast in a cup)
ukpol, colonialism, racism, Churchill
"Why can't Britain handle the truth about Winston Churchill?"
The writer of the piece is a teaching fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge, and recently hosted a panel discussion, “The Racial Consequences of Mr Churchill”.
"Even before it took place, the discussion was repeatedly denounced in the tabloids and on social media as “idiotic”, a “character assassination” aimed at “trashing” the great man. Outraged letters to the college said this was academic freedom gone too far, and that the event should be cancelled. The speakers and I, all scholars and people of colour, were subjected to vicious hate mail, racist slurs and threats. We were accused of treason and slander. One correspondent warned that my name was being forwarded to the commanding officer of an RAF base near my home."
And why?
"Churchill is on record as praising 'Aryan stock' and insisting it was right for 'a stronger race, a higher-grade race' to take the place of indigenous peoples. He reportedly did not think 'black people were as capable or as efficient as white people'. In 1911, Churchill banned interracial boxing matches so white fighters would not be seen losing to black ones. He insisted that Britain and the US shared 'Anglo-Saxon superiority'. He described anticolonial campaigners as 'savages armed with ideas'."
Things autism research could be about:
- How does autism radar work?
- Do we have an easier time communucating with other autistics because our ways of communication are similar, or because we've all had to learn to accomodate the people we're talking to?
- What can be done to prevent and treat autistic burnout?
- What even *is* autistic burnout exactly?
- What effects does masking have on your mental health?
- What autistic traits are actually traits of autism, and which ones are trauma responses?
- How is a non-traumatized autistic brain work?
- How can we better accomodate autistic people?
What autism research is about:
- How do we make the autistic people stop existing?
UPDATE - Tusky is back in Play Store, developer just posted about it:

However, I would strongly advise everyone to install F-Droid anyway. It's much better for your privacy and it is a plan B in case Google does stuff like this again.
The installation is easy if you take it one step at a time (see this guide: https://switching.software/replace/google-play/ ) , and once it's installed it works like any other app store.
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
