Hundreds amass at ICE in Portland to protest the incoming national guard troops Trump is sending in. They attacked, assaulting a number of union leaders. #iceoutofpdx #dhs

“We found that 114 (49%) of the 232 included datasets were substantially altered…Only 15 (13%) of the 114 altered datasets logged or otherwise indicated that the change had occurred… Despite RFK’s…calls for ‘radical transparency’, unlogged data manipulation moves away from meaningful transparency”🧪🛟

Oil lamps are neat.

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment! Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game. Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run. Like a game? Comment away!

GPT-69 will be true AGI if it solves the riddle of steel

Just in from the ICE facility in Portland

YES, I AM THE WORLDS GREATEST AUTHOR. YES, YOU ARE TOO

OPB: Headline

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

war ravaged Portland

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

It's been 5 years since this video ✨

this is just fucking insane. i feel like i'm hallucinating reading this. we just finished getting hot cocoa and blackberry thyme coffeecake and now we're taking the babies to an ancient forest to watch the old people doing tai chi. this could not be a calmer happier city

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep 1. Authentication topics! (Passkeys, passwords, SSO, SAML, etc) 2. Tabletop RPGs, especially my own (Also Ravenloft Lore) 3. Fantasy / Horror Novels, lore, etc

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep 1. My books/characters 2. Musicals (especially Great Comet...don't get me started) 3. Castlevania :3

I'm really bad at self-promo but I was just looking back at some of the micro games I've made and I think 1994: Moonlit Carnival is my favorite: cthos.itch.io/1994-moonlit...

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

The reason we're releasing this in theatres is because it's incredibly fun to watch in a room full of people. People lose their minds at it. We want people to watch it together. So! Do you run or know somebody who runs an indie theatre? If so, contact us, and we'll let you screen it for free.

i rest easily. days of rectangle-pushing & nights of debugging behind me, i slip into the earth like fine linen bedspread. old anxieties rise from me like steam as shovelfuls of sod are tossed over my body. it is an eternal peace: seeking no more the touch of grass; i grow its roots from my chest

soooo I actually found out that at the big downtown store you can now find Magica Riot in FOUR places. The new one: this endcap in the Gold Room!

I like this a lot.

Happy to announce that my poem "Perish and Live Forever," which first appeared in MEXICANS ON THE MOON, has just won the @sfpoetry.bsky.social 's Dwarf Star Award for poetry. This award is for best micro poem of 10 lines or less. Many thanks to members who voted. It is a big honor. Much love!

I shared this earlier because I think it is so funny but then I also thought to myself, what advice would I (a learning scientist by background, married to someone who teaches programming) actually give a developer who feels bad reading this? How can you avoid writing this? A few tips:

Tech bros say "AI is here to stay" but that doesn't mean anything! Bronze spears are here to stay! Asbestos is here to stay! Ethan makes a great distinction: AI as a technology *has already failed*. AI lives on as a social purity test that will fade away as soon as those enforcing it blink.

Yes, someone in a hot dog costume just hand-delivered Councilor Green a hot dog before starting today's council chat on sidewalk vending.

Today we are proud to announce our next crowdfunding campaign. Award-winning historian @shannonappelcline.bsky.social examines the roots, artwork, and lore behind each and every product released by TSR for OD&D, AD&D 1e, and Basic D&D with his latest effort, Designers & Dragons: Origins. 1/3

Autistic people are cool actually. There's nothing wrong with being autistic. Having an autistic kid doesn't make you a bad parent. (Also fucking Tylenol doesn't cause autism; neither do vaccines.) I can't believe we continue to have to say these things.

We're watching this playout in some of the dumbest ways possible right now.

Hello, I started a newsletter, it is a supplement to, not a replacement of, my Patreon. I explain what its purpose is in this post. I'm thinking through a post for tomorrow, so sign up now so you don't miss it.

I was fired from my gig as a primary and middle school drama director on Monday. We live in frightening times. Take care of each other, and reach out to me if you want to talk 🧡

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

public testimony supporting PBOT's Street Plaza Program is live! PBOT initiated this during the early pandemic, and is now asking City of Portland to make the program permanent and imagine it's future www.portland.gov/council/agen...

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

This piece argues we’re in not one, but three AI bubbles: 1. a financial bubble with inflated valuations, 2. an infrastructure bubble with overbuilt data centers, 3. a hype bubble where AI can’t meet its promises. Honestly, all three seem highly likely to me.

*stares at the camera* We didn't need a study to tell us this?

i think this is actually more propaganda on openai’s part bc they do not list “this is just how LLMs work, on a structural level” as one of the reasons but that’s the truth LLMs can never not “hallucinate” bc they’re not intelligences, they don’t even know what words are much less know meaning

“OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws” https://www.computerworld.com/article/4059383/openai-admits-ai-hallucinations-are-mathematically-inevitable-not-just-engineering-flaws.html

the rats nest that is the flow of money in AI compute is so unbelievably complicated and circular that i had to make a diagram

Yesterday, I had the privilege and the honor to emcee the opening of the new Metro A Line light rail extension from Glendora to Pomona.

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

whoooo whee
