Every single Friday since Jan 2023, I’ve published a roundup of news stories for Black Americans. I created it in response to the misinformation that disproportionately targets our community. But the best part is that it’s free! Here’s the latest edition:

My understanding is that the Crowdstrike thing doesn't affect Macs for the same reason that the Lunar Rover doesn't get run over by semis in busy Los Angeles intersections.

Great, this Crowdstrike thing means Mac users are going to be even more intolerably smug than they already are, he typed, from his exquisite Space Black Mac Pro 16 inch laptop, which accesses the Internet perfectly

To those struggling with "Am I a game designer?" If you fiddle with rules, think about concepts, try out home rules, adopt some, discard others, merge game mechanics from different games. You're one. Being published is not a requirement. It just makes you a published game designer. Keep at it!

I had almost psyched myself into watching RR with an open mind, but then the day before it came out, it’s Star, John Mulaney, sprang surprise guest Dave Chappelle on a live audience. Imagine being a trans person who just wanted to see John Mulaney. So I went “okay, fork you, no.”

In addition, you can't mute either the Trump2024 or MAGA hashtags (you can put them in your muted words, but nothing will be muted), and if you click one of them, THIS shit happens.

Not particularly looking forward to the Right’s half-smirking half-mock-weepy “look what you forced us to do” routine coming up.

Wow, NEW Ranma 1/2! This will absolutely (tho I’m not a fan of the vernacular, but it’s what most of you like/understand) hatch some eggs, won’t it? I hope it makes the trans girlies that got a lot out of the original proud. youtu.be/TT7MWy9oLf8

Hey. You. With the wireless earbuds. Yes, YOU. Clean the case and the ear-canal cushions. And I like your taste in music.

Even though the SCART connector has its origins in France and thus implies the PAL/50Hz signal standard, it can be used for any video and audio connection up to and including 1080p 60Hz RGB. It's the de facto standard for retro games. However Japan uses a different pinout for their SCART connectors.

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

A first-class flight for a two-month tour of Japan, with the associated raiding of virtually every retro tech shop between Aomori and Kyoto. And a really, REALLY nice automatic rice cooker.

if you won a million dollars what would be the first ridiculous thing you'd buy? something silly and pretty and fun for yourself. it can be small. I'd buy a hot pink e-bike or vespa, and give it pink marabou streamers.

If I had the time and funding I'd want to remake some old 8-bit RPGs to make them less overtly sexist. Like, I really wanted to play Faria back in the day, but the game's big twist (you're not actually a woman, you were just "cursed" to become one) turned me off super fast.
