Part 19 of my Star Trek: Resurgence series is out now! The crew is all back together for the first time in ages. We have some administration to handle and there is a pressing need to fill the first officer vacancy.

working overtime to get my corner of Austin gerrymandered into NYC

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Just when I started to feel like good things can't happen in this country anymore, Mamdani said shut the hell up and watch this.

Every election is a sobering reminder that every researched and well-informed vote counts just as much as Slick Ron's, who votes for whichever name sounds the most like a sandwich.

I dislike most holidays, but Halloween fucking rips because it's a goth socialist redistribution of candy to the proletariat and skeletons get so geeked off it that they dance out their graves.

For those of you who post videos to youtube, this is where you can find the settings to prevent youtube from making changes to your videos without your consent. They're opt-out, so unless you've disabled them already, you're probably enrolled.

Part 6 of my Life is Strange 2 series is out now. We've made big progress on our trek to Mexico and I grow increasingly frustrated at Sean's inability to let go of or work through his resentment.

still thinking about Nemik

Part 18 of my Star Trek: Resurgence series out out! It's my first day as captain on the USS Resolute and my ability to lead is put to the test when a crew mate gives me an ultimatum with lives on the line.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Hey, did you know that the original soundtrack for my Critical Curves video is now live on major streaming services as of today? emergentbeacon.com/music/critic...

The idea that a just society is achieved through punishing the right people is so all-encompassing that it has perverted the very design of modern life.

Part 17 of my Star Trek: Resurgence series is out now! This is a moment that's been building for the entire game: mutiny. Who will I trust and how much resistance will I encounter?

Part 5 of my Life is Strange 2 series (the end of ep 2) is live! Plenty of deliberation on morality, ethical use of super powers, what is justice, how do we reduce harm, and whatever the fuck this guy was selling.

My dumbass recorded the next part in my Life is Strange 2 series and expected the video to be 10-15 minutes long. The episodes in this game are always way longer than I expect.

Another Emergent Beacon update: all the music is coming to your favorite streaming platform. The first video's score, Cosmic Mirage, is already live! You can preview the tracks and find links for the most popular DSPs here: emergentbeacon.com/music/cosmic...

Couple quick Emergent Beacon updates for y'all today. First, I have a new code base live on emergentbeacon.com right now! I've been building it myself all year. There are some things that still need work, but it's really coming together.

Be wary of anybody who launders the reputation of a dead man.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

now imagine it happening to a bunch of kids in a school, that could never be normalized, right?

A couple days ago I posted the final part of my series on Viewfinder, wherein I pull off feats of both gaming and logic. The ending left me feeling conflicted.

Sending a "final notice" mailer only for it to be a free trail for a service I never wanted is the old world equivalent of a youtube comment threatening to unsubscribe. Just leave quietly and keep a little dignity.

Part 16 of my Star Trek: Resurgence series is out now! Our numbers are dwindling and I start to lose my cool at the grossly mishandled diplomacy while formalizing a crucial new ally.

Never trust someone who villainizes graffiti.

So good to see Arkane's workers push for this! Also a great example of one of the core benefits of unionization, which is just "creating a structure for discussion and systems to make collective decisions." Always much harder to get action at scale like this if there isn't already organization.

Picking a music distributor has been such an unnecessarily stressful decision that I'm amazed that anybody has ever published music. All of them are simultaneously exploitative scams and also probably just fine. You just roll the dice and it is what it is.

Part 4 of my Viewfinder series is out, wherein I talk to a cat about the speed of light, cloud seeding, and just generally how science works. Also there is puzzle solving.

A new truth has emerged, I played @jessemakkonen.com's Without a Dawn and it's the most intense game I've covered on the channel, hands down. Please, hands down.

I've had this recurring dream for years where something is on a computer or tv and everything I do makes the volume louder. Turning it down makes it louder; turning it off makes it louder. It increases to a debilitating stupor until I wake up. Anyway, isn't it so cool to have a brain?

Part 4 of my Life is Strange 2 series is out, wherein I make our grandparents accessories to a crime. Did I do so by coercion? Who could say?

Part 3 of my Viewfinder series adds new puzzle mechanics, but what really has me concerned is what these researchers have been working on.

I just wanted to know whether it's 1 or 2 words. I didn't ask lil bro's whole damn dating history. Isn't he like 12? weirdo ass search results.

Any member of an audience who claims to speak on behalf of the collective audience has not developed enough as a person to understand that not everybody is just like them.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists. This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

Part 15 of my Star Trek: Resurgence series is out, wherein we return to a familiar location and have a long-overdue conversation.

100% fascism

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

Man, I'm so happy for NYC tonight. Mamdani is such an obvious slam-dunk candidate that I'm surprised/relieved that voters also see the light. Zohran, his campaign, and voters all really pulled through on this one.

I just posted part 2 of Viewfinder, wherein I begin to seriously question the scientific rigor of this research team.

the latest in my series on Life is Strange 2 covers super power training, pine cones, police budgets, and ravioli
