  1. @Lady_Star_Gem I left #TheOtherSite for good on Jan 1st, and I believe thousands of others did so as well.

    But I don't think the number was big enough for anyone over there to notice.

    We need to continue to encourage people to leave The Bird's Nest in protest.

  2. @Lady_Star_Gem Excited to see, how @EU_Commission will handle the birdsite's negligent maintenance of users' email & other personal data, after 200 million email addresses have reportedly been stolen from twitter servers & published by bad faith actors, with or without birdsite consent & collaboration.
    This is on Musk now.

  6. @Lady_Star_Gem
    We really need to boycott every business that still advertises there. Let him have #tesla and #MyPillowGuy

  7. @Lady_Star_Gem @duaneaubin @mjf_pro in the short term yes I agree the #TwitterDownfall may hurt marginalized communities. Because any disruption in communication channels will do that. But there is a real opportunity now to have a huge mass of people move to a platform that is not owned by moneyed interests. That is HUGE. Let’s make the #PublicSquare truly BY and FOR the people. Change is hard but this is the best path forward IMO. #PowerToThePeople

  8. @Lady_Star_Gem Gotte keep #thegrift going. It’s been working so far, I imagine or he wouldn’t be doing it. Some people believe anything even if it screams fraud in their face. But I’m sure everyone will get a free, lumpy pillow 👏👏

  9. @FallsMom @Lady_Star_Gem The gun stuff is sad, but pushing schools to switch from three-cuing back to #phonics is legitimate. Three-cuing doesn't teach kids to read; it teaches them to guess. apmreports.org/episode/2019/08

  13. Albums the Fediverse Loved in 2024

    Okay all, here are 132 albums the Fediverse loved in 2024, mostly 2024 releases but also some earlier gems! Thanks so much to the 60 Fedizens who shared the albums that rocked their world – it’s nice to see some familiar faces from the 1001 Other Albums project, and some new ones! And, as always, it’s so lovely to get a glimpse into all our diverse tastes in music, and to see people trying something new solely based on a random Fedi recommendation.

    Genre tags are included as tasting notes and each title is linked to its Bandcamp or Songlink (with the exception of 2 physical-only releases), so click and listen away – perhaps you’ll find a new-to-you album that gets you through 2025! Check out the footnotes to see who submitted each album, along with any extra comments they included (warning: some comments include MOAR ALBUMS).

    Happy listening, and remember to keep your music close by this year, in case of emergencies. And, if you need more recommendations, you know where to find me.

    33. snacktraces: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysion_(band) www.elysion-official.com/ An underrated “gothic” metal band from Greece, their latest album. This album hit my “radar” in the summer of this year. Was traveling to another country to spend a week working with colleagues. I drove instead of flew. I listened to this whole album on the trip there and the trip back in the car. It got me through a rough week ↩︎

    46. ArpComics: Their best album since AI, basically a middle-aged Dookie. Honorable mention to: Pinhead Gunpowder, ‘Unt’ – A Billie Joe Armstrong side project of straight up pop punk; Amyl & the Sniffers, ‘Cartoon Darkness’ – Old school garage punk from down under, fronted by a force of nature; Chappell Roan – I don’t even know the name of her album but one of my kids listens to her in the car 24/7 and everything I’ve heard is damn good. ↩︎

    76. BootesVoid: Mostly because of the song “Flatbread” ↩︎
    77. satsuma: A great album dealing with grief, addiction and trauma, and coming out the other side bloodied but unbowed. || schoppenaas ↩︎
    78. alicemcalicepants ↩︎
    79. littlerachyb: Nina has a knack of hitting my feelings on the head. I first found her in the pandemic when she was posting silly little jingles, especially one about it being a good time to stop giving a fuck. Anyway this year Mansion from this album was my tune, and the whole album resonated. ↩︎
    80. buffyleigh: This was my best discovery from the 1001 Albums to Listen to Before You Die list – yep, I hadn’t heard it before this year – and it kickstarted my obsession with NIN which led to them being my most listened-to artist of the year, in both albums and minutes. [Also see footnote 40.] ↩︎
    81. avi_miller: I found this album interesting, and hope others will enjoy it too ↩︎
    82. shivering_wreck ↩︎
    83. erik: Ochu are one of my best discoveries of 2024. I first saw them live on a boat in Stockholm, rubbing pieces of wood against each other, breaking branches, etc. On “Dry Routine”, there are also some woodwork, with sounds from both a regular and an electric saw, and all kinds of lo-fi field recordings, layered and looped into captivating pieces. So far, it’s my favorite release of the year. [Note link is to only one song; no digital release, limited vinyl.] ↩︎
    84. HauntedOwlbear ↩︎
    85. weirdofhermiston ↩︎
    86. svenvabar: Discovered Placebo this year. Let’s say ‘Without You I’m Nothing’ (1998), but could have been some other album also (‘Meds’, ‘Black Market Music’…) ↩︎
    87. evilchili: The best close singers in the business delivered an aptly-named record of loss, death, mourning, and rage. Everyone needs to hear this record. ↩︎

  14. Here is a list for games that have official tabletop rpg adaptations, and unofficial ones that cite the game as the inspiration. I’m fascinated by adaptations of video games to ttrpgs and video games based on ttrpgs and wanted to see what was out there.

    The title of each game links to a page where you can read more about the game or buy it. Eventually I’ll add games that would be a good fit for doing the tabletop version of the game and maybe also games that were based off tabletop rpgs. For time saving reasons, most of the descriptions just come from the Itch page they’re on. For the most part I’m not including D&D supplements on here aside from official ones just because I’m hoping this page will encourage people to check out new games. Also not including more broad inspirations and not that many supplements just because I have to have a cutoff somewhere, maybe in the future? If you’re just looking for the officially licensed rpgs, I don’t really have a good way to only show those in here. Just search for the word “Official” I guess, because I did mention it whenever those come up. For what it’s worth, I think a lot of the unofficial games are better than the officially licensed games so consider checking those out too.

    It’s very likely I’ve missed a lot so please leave a comment if there’s a game you worked on or played that should be included.. Corrections are welcome too. If you see a game you made in here and think “It’s actually more like ____” then let me know!
