There should never be any updates to libc (glibc or otherwise) unless there is a new C standard.

A holiday is a holiday. The factory is closed either way. Fuck it, I will listen to corridos, drink mexican beverages, make tacos outdoors, and gripe about it with with my fellow freedom haters. 
For even the most cynical treatlerites, it really does just boil down to "what have you done for ME lately?" From a naive perspective, Israel is nothing but a liability. From a critical perspective, Israel is nothing but a liability. To the institutionalist, "rule of law" liberals, Israel is nothing but a liability. To the "America First" nationalists, Israel is nothing but a liability. The only people who see merit in the cause of Israel are total cranks and zealots who truly believe the US or Israel (depending on who you ask) are ordained by God (and their secular cousins, the Atlanticists - the fundamentalists of American civic religion), who look forward to dying in a nuclear inferno on that hill. There are a lot of them though.
Big Beautiful Summer.
Having trouble running this smoothly in Mupen64Plus (Z-buffer problems), ParallellN64 (performance), or Project64 (running an emulator in an "emulator") :/
Looks sick though.
The Democrats as we know them will never go away. They might never win a national election ever again, but they will gatekeep and backstab and coopt until Hell freezes over.
The last thing the industry wants is another Doom (1993). A game that is (now) open source, highly portable, highly moddable, and still FUN and approachable 30 years later (and well preserved, as a result). At the time, it made sense for Id to release the source, because it held their competitors feet to the fire. Today, there is nothing left to innovate on the technology side of video games. They want everything to work like Madden/FIFA, where the publishers do the work a couple modders can pull off in a week and charge full price for it all over again.
While I think the third-worldists / ultras / anti-electoralists are generally right about the prospect of electoral work within the Great Satan, I feel like the pushback against Mamdani (specifically thinking of a couple well known Twitter users here) is an over-correction, and their criticisms come across as lazy and reflexive to me.
First is the criticism of electoral work being a misdirection of resources. It is worth noting that New York is just one city within the Great Satan. Circumstances are different than e.g. the Bernie campaigns of 2016 and 2020. We don't have "the left" dropping everything from sea to shining sea to get this man in office. It is a local struggle, and placed in the context of a city which has seen a militarized police force repeatedly deployed to crush and evict several anti-genocide encampments, it has the potential to change the way these other non-electoral tactics unfold moving forward, and a lot of people involved in the campaign are likely involved in these other tactics. It isn't a this-or-that situation at all.
Then there is the criticism of Democratic Party entryism. We all know the Democratic Party is a dead end institution, but also it is an extremely loosely defined institution. There is a big difference between building independent campaign infrastructure which is capable (among other things) of capturing the Democratic Party ballot line in a municipal election vs. planning to take control (or attempting to reform) institutions like the DNC, county and state level party organizations, the constellation of think tanks, PACs, and corporate media which define the party more broadly. The electoral strategy is a consequence of the shit-ass voting system we've got. I wouldn't call all cases of contesting a Democratic primary election entryism. It really depends on what your goals are. Do you think the party will embrace you if you win? Do you think you can influence them? Or are you doing it just to get on the ballot while eliminating some centrist goblin and forcing people to choose between social welfare and fascism.
I have several hopes for this campaign. I hope it activates people who have been unactivated. If it manages to do this, I wouldn't consider it a misdirection of resources. I would consider it more along the lines of "meeting the people where they're at." And from there people have the potential to grow.
I don't understand how people can write this off simply as entryism. The idea of entryism being bad is that the party cannot be reformed so it is a waste. Well, LOOK at the reaction of all the elite party and media figures to this news. They are destroying themselves. Is that a waste? If an act of "entryism" does more to undermine and destroy an institution than other tactics, can we really be mad about it?
No, this won't stop the genocide, or bring down the empire, but I also don't see any harm coming from this, at this stage at least. For the moment, it is making all the right people go apeshit.

Just finished the Strawberry Jam intermediate lobby. 🥳
(hexbear.net)
16,651 deaths to get through 'beginner' and 'intermediate' lmao.
For those who live under a rock, Strawberry Jam is a collaborative level pack made for Celeste which contains 111 levels and NINE HOURS of original soundtrack. It embodies the workmanship of over 350 contributors. The levels are split into five categories ranging from 'beginner' to 'grandmaster.'
This is what the final stage of 'intermediate' looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm7zvu0kDro

DSA National Committee posting cringe
(hexbear.net)
The statement continues in a tweet thread
Absolutely pathetic. My pessimism is spiking to C. Derek Varn levels. These motherfuckers have given you NOTHING. They are jingling car keys in front of your face and you are cooing like an infant. How are you not only going to endorse, but TAKE CREDIT for the selection of this guy with absolutely no promises or concessions. This man will be the Vice President, and by your own admission, the blood will be on your hands.

Started a new fort
(hexbear.net)
Humble beginnings: this is where we first struck Earth. Now, it is only an incredibly inconvenient trade depot located 38 Z-levels above the main workshop. After a management mishap and waves of migrants, food and drink supplies were exhausted so a hundred dwarves were mobilized to pick the surface clean of fruits. Many got nauseous from cave adaption. It was a sight to behold though. They picked the field like a horde of locusts and left a trail of vomit in their wake. A few seams of bituminous coal have been extracted.
With no drinking water available on the surface and no available aquifers, modest living accommodations had to be arranged while the primary focus was placed on locating the caverns. This outpost is now abandoned, with most of the furniture stripped away. A large seam of lignite was discovered along the wall of a former stockroom.
A cavern was discovered nearly 40 Z-levels below the surface. It had water which could be tapped for a well, and fertile soil to establish a farm. It wasn't all good news though. Very quickly, it became the sight of conflict with the indigenous population of Bat People. Sometimes wielding steel weapons and shields, these flying creatures have appeared in numbers up to 90 at a time. The farm has been completely enclosed by stone walls, and a fragile armistice has held for a couple years as both sides foolishly prepare to completely annihilate each other... one day.
Once water was discovered, we finally chose a place to establish more permanent industry and living spaces.
One floor of the high density dorms. This one also features a few hallways of tombs. Casualties of the war with the Bat Men lay here, including a Gorlak monster slayer.
At the bottom of the second cavern, some 41 Z-levels below the main workshop, a large family of Rutherers mills about, living a care-free life. These creatures are enormous and incredibly dangerous, but they have a benign temperament and won't seek conflict unless they are pissed off. The stray cats have been testing their patience, however.
As I near the end of the fifth year, the population of the fort has soared to 180. Hopefully this will be the one which manages to dig all the way to hell.

Oh NO...

After taking a turn in the secession game I decided to start up my own fort. Two and a half years in, I have seen a weremoose attack (two dead, infected militia commander is trapped in a walled-off section of the fort), and just now an Etten (a giant two-headed humanoid creature). The Etten died without too much disaster, but it has dropped a tablet which turns anyone who reads it into a necromancer.
I still haven't forgot about my $600.

I fucking hate these weapon systems marketing lanyards. They are almost as bad as Congress when it comes to acronyms.
