Happy thanksgiving.

YES. I’ve been loving their unprecedented levels of post-launch refinement. This proves the model of investing IN YOUR HUMAN COMMUNITY is the way to success; not b.s. tech bro trends. Give your players a good game, even if you don’t first succeed, and you too could have the next Cyberpunk.

This quote from Michał Nowakowski is SO important: [Opening the Boston studio] "brought in a wealth of multi-layered experience, skills, and backgrounds. We strongly believe that this investment will pay off in the future, bringing the next Cyberpunk experience to a new level."

Mahler power.

You see how furry is now included next to trans and anti-fascist? Once they’re done decimating trans lives they’re gonna go after furries.

These are incredible photographs

I think we need to give Walz time to get an undeniable account of what the SPPD did before he says anything in public. It’s reasonable governing; exactly the opposite of what we’re used to. That last bit tells us he’s seen the bullshit too. He’s the head of government and can’t come out swinging.

The replies to this thread fill in what’s going on. I can’t wrap my head around this level of corruption. No way in hell was this a coincidence.

Damn, night time picture taking has gotten so good on the iPhone compared to where it was a decade ago.

I'm curious (especially from security professionals): On your personal linux machine/VM, that you keep behind a well configured firewall, know what's running on it, etc.. Do you NOPASSWD sudo for your personal user account? I do, it's always something I've done, but might be a 30-year mistake.

Great thread that includes useful info for folks in Minnesota in particular.

Everyone having a great day? Yup. I’m sure.

Yeahh..... this isn't going to end well. Speeding towards the authoritarian finish line now.

X now lets you see where an account is located, and this one is fascinating.

My 72 year-old father stumped me on an engineering problem, and I'm entirely unable to logic an answer: If you and I had walkie talkies on the Moon, how would the max distance you could talk on the Moon differ from the Earth? Would it be the same, larger, or shorter distance?

Finally forcing myself to learn tmux. Why? Because I've put it off for ... a decade. I'm old.

Paying anything for journals bothers me. I get the publisher side, but fundamentally knowledge in its purest form should not be linked to your wealth.

Whoever gets first through the legal challenge of allowing ML algorithms to identify whatever actor/show is on TV is going to make a killing. I would pay monthly to have IMDB linked automatically to whatever I’m watching.

wife and i playing “oh who’s that?” as we watch American Revolution. it’s good, too

South Park is going to be 🔥 🔥 🔥 next week.

@spaceprez.bsky.social I enjoy your “you are wrong and deserve to be wrong” replies to people in large threads. 10/10

I'm ***engrossed*** by this book. The Phantom Atlas: The Greatest Myths, Lies and Blunders on Maps Go get it now. The kind of random interesting content I crave. www.amazon.com/Phantom-Atla...

Now that’s a lede. Story by @taracopp.bsky.social and @michelleboorstein.bsky.social. Read here: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Oh I see we’re having a normal morning. No one threatening to execute political opponents at all. Yup yup. Excellent.

This isn’t surprising. I think it was somewhat known before?

If folks haven't read it, I recommend @annaleen.bsky.social's Stories are Weapons, which is unfortunately more and more relevant during this administration. When I started it, I thought, "yeah yeah, I know this." But each chapter was 🤯; well researched analysis of these tactics, recent & historical.

Nobody told me Garak was in Hellraiser?!? I would have watched this movie wayyyy sooner!

This is your regular reminder that the federal government is actively monitoring social media and most social media sites will comply with subpoenas to some degree. So, you know. Be careful what you post

Don’t know who made this but thank you

claim that people don’t “wish” to do $120,000 / year jobs as automechanics seems detached from reality. www.bls.gov/ooh/installa... “median annual wage for automotive service technicians & mechanics was $49,670 in May 2024…lowest 10% earned less than $33,660, & highest 10% earned more than $80,850.”

So. Bad news, good news, and more good news! Bad: My website is still not up and running. Good: The bookshop IS! christie-golden.myshopify.com More Good: It's only WoW books right now, but the rest are coming (I have a LOT of books). (Preorder Blood Ties first, please!)

Imagine such a shitty design flaw or bug being present in a $60 AAA video game. Players would lose their minds. “Mounts don’t move if someone near by wears orange.” God the threads and griefing. Yet this passes acceptance testing for autonomous vehicles? A joke! Technology. Became. A. Joke.

I can pretty easily understand how a temp art asset can ”make it through” to release. Still isn’t an excuse: 1. No process/broke process. That’s on leadership to fix. 2. You used AI without safeguards? Did you have ANY sanity check in your process? Again, that’s on leadership to fix. Not IC devs.

Google AI... You are the last thing I'll trust to remind me of the sudo config syntax I want to use.

Isn’t this a Black Mirror episode? I hate technology.

Woah. wtf?

Went to Free Geek Twin Cities and got to play with this beautiful relic for a few. Macintosh IIsi. Love these old working Macs.

😐 I grok a sovereign wealth fund buyout is where all the guessing is going to, but reality is we don't know really until the announcement drops. Not great, however.

Seriously been thinking about this a lot. There’s no one admitting the dem leadership was absolutely in on the cave, but it makes perfect, logical, and (importantly) mutable sense. If new evidence says otherwise, then it’s wrong and just a false theory. I see no repubs sticking to that rationality.

I hate that I can't think: it's weird that they stripped Andrew of his titles last week then whoops he's in these emails. Without immediately thinking "gosh that sounds like our government hid this shit and gave the RF a heads up. No, that sounds like a conspiracy theory!"

This is me in 2001. We were not the same. … yup.

I’m curious if the Minnesota BlueSky crowd gets this next sentence: Father Clay is probably up there, smiling and proud. (He was *way* ahead of his time in inclusivity and diversity in the church; this is the kind of thing he advocated for big time in inner-city St. Paul.)

Jesus Fucking Christ. He was *President* then.

me, a deeply lapsed Catholic… 👀
