quote [ Many are submitted and I choose the ones I think are funny, interesting, and not too similar to ones recently submitted, and not so extreme that I think it's breaking the law publishing them, or it will encourage a spate of murders. ]
Long-running project of a website-less Google form confessional which is not exactly screaming into the void but keeping your privacy.
Quite British. Quote via FAQ. There's also a live show (thumb).

Nice little film on the origins of the bit.

quote [ When a colleague first presented test results at the lab’s weekly meeting, Cevaal said, they seemed too good to be true.
[…] “Ultimately, one big unknown remains. Do you need to eliminate the entire reservoir for success or just the major part? If just 10% of the latent reservoir survives will that be sufficient to seed new infection? Only time will tell. ] So they're applying this mRNA thing as well but needed a trick to make it work. Exciting!

quote [ In 2020 I made a two-minute video for an electronic music track. It was a mashup of 80s and 90s tech ads—cassette players, cars, TVs, computers, CDs, and all kinds of stuff. ]
Nice wobbly beat .. you might like this. There's a link to the track as well, so I tagged this "music".

quote [ No timer, no score, no gravity. ]
This appeared in some feeds. Feels like I saw a similar thing on itch sometime ago.
Funny thing is: The original version of Tetris as devised by Alexey Pajitnov would not feature falling blocks either; that came only on the PC port through … Vadim Gerasimov? (quote source)

quote [ I find Film borderline unwatchable, but I’m the sort of guy who got IMAX tickets for Mission: Impossible — Final Reckoning on opening weekend for me and my son. Tomorrow, actually.
[…] Note: I apologize for a number of missing citations still present. I lost my document tracking those, but in the spirit of the article I swear I’ll fix it in reshoots. ] So I spent 30min reading an article about spontaneous filmmaking while quoting and defending Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton.

quote [ If you’re a Facebook or Instagram user within the EU, you should have received an email from Meta with the subject “Learn how we’ll use your information as we improve AI at Meta” open it and follow these steps: Under the heading What you can do click on Object this will take you to the objection form. From there enter your email address and click Submit. ]
Of course it doesn't prevent against being tagged by others or shadow-accounts being further profiled. It looks like the opt-out move was greenlighted by EU politics, despite various data protection offices trying to stop it.

quote [ The genre is poorly documented, so I'm still occasionally coming across new leads. If you know of any other examples of vintage anti-communist comics anywhere on the internet (or in real life), please drop me a note. ]
A lot of these 50s comics in one place.
