I commissioned my friend @Hadronus to make a visual design for one of my oldest OCs!

Here's Luna, who may or may not have a crush on Purnama❤️💜💙

A_Rival should put TRUTHCANNON on Tidal so I can stream it 40 times and then buy a CD in a few months when I'm more financially stable

the king started sending a wizard in the vanguard to prestidigitate point values for confirmed kills. while not directly helping the army in any way, morale is up nearly 70% and soldiers are asking to spend their points on rewards like cool armor patterns and weapon skins

The single biggest irrigated crop in America isn't corn, wheat, or soybeans. It's not even avocados or almonds. It's lawn.

We grow more grass than any food crop in the country, around 40 million acres of it, and almost none of it feeds a single living thing.

Think about how strange that is. We took a grass that isn't even from here, planted it coast to coast, and now we pour water, fertilizer, and pesticide into keeping it short, green, and perfectly useless.

To a bee, a butterfly, or a bird hunting caterpillars for its chicks, a manicured lawn is a desert. Nothing to eat, nowhere to nest, mile after mile of it.

But here's the good news, maybe the easiest win on this whole account: you don't have to fix the entire desert. You just have to claw back a corner.

Pick one strip. The hellstrip by the sidewalk, the run along the fence, that awkward patch you hate mowing anyway. Stop mowing it and plant it with native flowers, a few black-eyed Susans, some bee balm, a couple of coneflowers. That's it. No ripping out the whole yard, no fight with anybody. Just convert one piece.

And that piece stops being dead space and starts being habitat: bees, butterflies, and birds showing up to a spot that offered them nothing a year ago.

Now picture your neighbor doing the same, and the one after that. That's how a desert turns back into a meadow, one reclaimed corner at a time.

I prefer having corruption take many forms, excess of anything can corrupt or cause decay so magic should reflect what is around in excess

Obviously in the ocean purple goopy tentacles is par for the course, but what about deep forests with trees bending under their own weight?

[cozyhammer40slay @Loudwindow]

It's fascinating how every fantasy setting universally agrees that "corruption" is purple, causes insanity, and there are tentacles.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

@tomfgoodwin when given more bandwidth to utilize, software developers chose to cram it full of telemetry tracking and adds. Now every single web page is as large as entire operating systems used to be

There was that one study (university of Alabama, maybe?) about how common torture is in G and PG movies that got mocked as a ridiculous waste of research funds, but they almost all do it post 9/11.

I think this is good advice for creators in general. I forget who, but way back one of the Hololive talents said she writes down topics on a notepad whenever she went out, in order to bring them back as ideas or chat topics for stream. For those who can't go out due to location or disability; even new experiences in the online space can serve as creative fuel. It's always a good idea to experience stuff outside our own industries!

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

Hot take but I don’t think politicians should be allowed to cancel events hosted by their primary challengers. Pretty clear abuse of power.
