I know there are many reasons to be angry at the NYT but their decision to lock sports reporting behind a separate, extra-cost brand is the one that really gets my goat

I've developed a bit of an allergy to the term 'neoliberalism' being used as an all-purpose snarl world by too many people on the left, but I think the hegemony of neoliberalism and its valorisation of the consumer really is why anti-intellectualism is so dominant in the culture.

I’ve been doing Peking duck for the past few years and every year I wonder, will this be the year I put the bike pump needle into the neck tube and inflate the bird? And every year it is not

tbh the first thing Dan Ryan should apologize for is being a fucking moron

Right now the most useful AI intervention in my design workflow would be if I could type or speak commands by describing the end result ("arrange these around a circle, like a clock") rather than use my cursor to hunt through menus

'made a loss' is a fascinating turn of phrase

I feel this way about ‘Methodist’ tbh

Hello there! For my first post on this here social network, here's a new thing I've been working on, a live sampler where you scrub through the sound by pulling a string. It has a filter!

I've got a new game out this week! It's called EVERYTHING SEXY BATTLE WIZARDS, and it's a one-page mashup made for @gshowitt.bsky.social's One Hundred One Page Games Jam. It's a tables-only game about… pretty much what it says on the tin, I guess itch.io/jam/one-hund...

This will be a long thread on yesterday police massacre in Rio. In nothern Rio de Janeiro city, there is a couple of hills called Complexo da Penha. It's Comando Vermelho("Red Command", a drug gang), or CV, territory. CV is the greatest gang in Rio, second in the whole Brazil. +

Dungeon Raid, a match-3 roguelike that hasn’t been playable for almost a decade due to iOS upgrades. An all time favorite with a name so forgettable I had to google it

EVERYTHING SEXY BATTLE WIZARD

I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison

This article is the antidote to the New York Times article about Portland that enraged everyone a few weeks ago. People don't have homes because they can't afford them & our safety net is a wad of shredded plastic snarled with trash on a riverbank instead of the beautiful sturdy thing it could be.

I say 'physical space' but of course it's not physical space, it's not an in-person larp — it's a text-only game with delineated rooms and spaces and objects, all hackable through object-oriented coding

Hey PDX it's a big deal that SIX members aka HALF of our City Council just pledged to investigate local complicity with genocide. They had a press conference about it & already are getting hate mail from genocide apologists. Please click through & thank them!!! actionnetwork.org/letters/than...

I’m just glad we’re reclaiming frogs from the groypers. Magnificent creatures

terrible to hear about D’Angelo, only 51. Surreal career, a perfect three album discography across 30 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo3R...

Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

I like this game

Joshua Tree sounds so different and good through the lens of Eno's production instead of Bono's voice

I’d kill at a Taskmaster larp

My new magic system is donezo

i’ve given this serious thought and determined that if you wanted to find an analogous expression of the Poster’s Heart applied to protest tactics look no further

lmao, kristi noem wanted a black bloc fight and got an inflatable rave instead. fuck you DHS, rip city forever.

You don’t need art, you need a distinct point of view

Kieron Gillen, confirmed MUSH player. There are tens of us!

Highly recommend you read Sarah’s article for some history on Trump in Portland newrepublic.com/article/1591...

Trump has escalated his attack on Portland by deploying more Feds to Portland for the purpose of intimidating and silencing our community, so that we comply in advance with his fascist regime. Don’t acquiesce. Join an org, talk to your neighbors and build solidarity networks to keep each other safe.

If you only follow me on bsky it may surprise you to learn that I am not only a designer of games that you will not play, but for many years also a designer of books!

Sometimes you read an article that makes you feel like... idk... 15 years ago, some of us got on an express train and saw what was on the tracks ahead. And now we're on a call to the people on the slower train, now approaching, and they cannot comprehend the landscapes we describe as familiar.
