Seriously, just stop: eating bugs is not gonna save the planet.
What we need is hard laws, actionable plans, and fines for companies killing our planet. We need to rethink how we live to be more sustainable, we don't need gimmicky "eat bugs, save the world" concepts

How about giving up meat and eating bugs to save the planet?

Cool Gamer Facts about Ion Fury, transphobia warning
so, the devs behind Ion Fury are a buncha transphobic and "anti-SJW" fuckheads evidently (src: https://twitter.com/BadGameHOF/status/1162504845296721920 https://twitter.com/caravanmalice/status/1162555794702782469 )
so i'm here to present a Cool and Fun Fact about Ion Fury:
the game files work just fine under eduke32
hmmm, would be ashame if someone were to re-distribute their files! it's not like you need the original executable anyways, so Steam's DRM wouldn't work
it'd be a real dang shame if people started pirating a game that they were looking forward to, but either refunded or just changed their mind about buying,
it'd be a real shame if they didn't get hard-earned money for thinking it's cool to hate on minorities.
anyways, don't do this, i'm legally obligated to say piracy is illegal and stuff, and that i absolutely won't help give people any information on how to obtain these files, not in the slightest,

Food
Fast food nachos are just hypermasculine cheese and crackers
When I was apprenticing, I got screamed at by someone on my team because they thought I deleted their code. They hadn't pushed a damn thing to upstream, that's why the code wasn't there. And they swore it was my fault because I was the only one who knew Git well enough to help others with merge conflicts. I don't want being yelled at over Git being confusing to be a key component of my worklife.
It sounds interesting, insofar as my designery mind is like, "We could do this better", but the day-to-day tasks don't interest me much, nor does putting out fires and getting yelled at by confused senior devs who don't understand Git
And all of my previous experience is in art/graphic design, activism, coding, or writing, so what part of it suggests I want to do very backendy work with Git?
I had this other role right before this one, where the guy said he wanted a coder but what he actually wanted was an admin to run his WordPress site. So I gave it a shot and hated every moment before I gave up and told him I couldn't do it. Because I don't particularly enjoy setting things up and figuring out what the dang site needs. I like visual design and writing, and coding frontend.
Work is pushing me toward Pubops because I know GitHub, but I know fuckall about servers and have little interest in being an admin because it just seems like an enormous pain in the ass

How to respond to a vehicular terrorist
So I'm a New York City based street medic and in light of the fact that automobiles seen to have become the fascist terrorist's weapon of choice at demonstrations I though it would be a good idea to talk about what you can do to in the event that you find yourself in this horrific situation. At the very least, having a plan will help keep panic down.
You should practice these skills.

The early 90s were a time where multiple character designers independently decided, "What if we made an anthro bunny and colored it an unnatural hue"

it royally pisses me off that automated metro systems actually make sense and have been successfully implemented in small cities and subsections of larger cities while america pisses money down the impossible pipe dream of self driving cars
Homophobia, ableism
The etymology of "gunsel" is actually really amusing, due to het and gentile obliviousness.
Homophobia, ableism
I was listening to a podcast that included a clip from "The Maltese Falcon": Peter Lorre just hysterically screaming.
As soon as I heard it, I knew this was the whole of John K's vocal performance as Ren.
Now, John is 1) a huge homophobe and 2) strongly identifies with Ren.
But Peter Lorre's character in the film is explicitly a gay dude. A "gunsel".
And this big gross homophobe decided he was gonna give his self-insert fursona the voice of a gay character...
