Youtube has started throttling the speed of any browser that's running an adblocker.

Doesn't affect me normally, but I couldn't upload the latest Masks game on Firefox because the upload speed was so slow it was failing out at about 14%/12 hours.

if I do it in chrome (no adblocker, for this and similar use cases), it's like 7 minutes, total.

This is a solid move by Google. Forcing people to watch ads and punishing people who won't has famously worked out well for every industry.

Me: [running 5 miles at 6pm on a treadmill hill course] "My body is more than a temple - it is a honed machine that produces pure fitness."

Also me: "Today's lunch is a raisin bagel smothered in cream cheese, both of which sat out uncovered on a table for four hours... and a bag of peanut butter M&Ms."

This is an important time of the year to remember self-care.

If the phrase “self care” doesn’t resonate with you, try calling it “system maintenance” and see if that clicks.

See the image caption for a maintenance list.

Me: I'd like to have a decent straw to use that doesn't fuck up me or the environment.

Paper straw manufacturers: What if we told you you could have b- none of those things?

I was never going to watch One Piece anime.

And now me and my family have watched season 1 of the live action on netflix, and we're really enjoying it.

And Netflix is going to cancel it too soon because a) it's Netflix and b) it's One Piece.

So I can see my future and it's watching fucking One Piece anime.

I am 1000% in favor of the Christian Rapture being a Real Thing and happening... Right Now.

That would be fucking AWESOME for the rest of us.

So McDonald's is giving away free fries for the rest of the year...

... if you use their mobile app

... and agree to the updated terms and conditions

... which say: if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits against McDonalds."

We live in the lamest dystopia.

Excited after spending last night setting up characters and crew for a with (in part) @GM_Jordan, and run by @highgainsad.

Is starting the adventure in a tavern a tired fantasy trope? Joke's on you; The Red Right Hand's lair is IN (coffunder) a tavern, so ALL our job's start in a tavern, and it's GREAT, so THERE.

( is a Cutter, which should be simple punch-stuff muscle, and which I've of course ruined with complex community obligations.)

More station, and some thinking about Ironsworn.

couple weeks ago I asked my mom when she finally felt like an adult who's got it figured out and she just laugh-shouted "HA!" like someone had given her the Heimlich and walked out of the room

This line from The New York Times this morning kind of blew my mind:

"The game industry now accounts for significant chunks of the economy. It is larger than music, U.S. book publishing and North American sports COMBINED. Microsoft’s game division and Activision Blizzard each make more money annually than all U.S. movie theaters."

(Emphasis mine)

How is it Tumblr has become the only social media platform where you can still hyperlink text, and thus provide further information directly within the context of your post.

Hyperlinked text was the core killer app of the internet.

WTF happened?
