there’s no amount of good faith that beats bad faith. you beat bad faith with fire*, not argument. *definitions are situational

The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration. Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”

Filled in a few more details and added a few more games to my Big List Of Free PC Games. Did you know that the latter two Penny Arcade RPGs are now completely free? I only found that out today!

www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-... You should buy this bundle and get every game! Yes, my game Adios is in it. It's $13 for the entire collection; it would mean the world to us if you picked it up. You have about two days to do it!

Asmongold gamifies harassment by goading his audience into targeting developers and celebrating when they get fired. This stuff doesn’t happen in secret.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Absolutely unhinged. The opposite — in almost every case — of what the “free speech warriors” claimed they wanted. It was always, as it so often is, just about control.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

i spoke to LOADS of people about this very recently, and the only people using it regularly were the dipshits in charge

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Can I add "experts are surprised about the fact that Seattleites are concerned about traffic violence after the deadliest year on city roads since 2006" to the list of prime examples of motonormativity?

Lorenz provides an incredibly cogent breakdown of just how quickly modern harassment campaigns are fed by conspiracies and spread across social media by bad faith actors.

Alexandra is among the people who lost their jobs for posting about the conservative influencer’s death. She described the online mob that got her fired as “state-sponsored censorship."

Ghost of Yotei is a masterpiece. It ruled over my waking and sleeping moments for a week. There's so much love and attention poured into this game, so much artistry on display, so I tried to do the same with my review for @rollingstone.com. www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

I feel bad for the generation of people handing over their ability to act creatively to AI… i don’t think they realize that creativity is a muscle, and when you don’t use it-

Bonkers that this isn’t just a given, but here we are…

This letter to The Economist makes a decent point. The case for robo taxis probably feels overwhelming in a country where the urban design means you're utterly screwed without a car. It's like how higher crime rates presumably boost the car for security solutions. Not entirely enviable

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

The fact that Sinclair and Nextstar own so many local news broadcasters across this country should be illegal in and of itself, let alone a merger. Local news isn’t local if it isn’t locally owned.

free speech but only if it doesnt huwt my feewies 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

Meta spent billions on AI so Mark Zuckerberg could look like a dipshit in front of millions of people: aftermath.site/meta-display-a...

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., talks about the cancel culture that has followed Charlie Kirk's assassination and what it means for free speech.

Gonna be honest…not enthralled to be living through a rehash of the McCarthy era.

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

But don’t call them Nazis.

A man who will, no doubt, keep his job after explicitly calling for the murder of unhoused people on broadcast television.

382 lovely indie games for $8! All proceeds support UNRWA USA’s humanitarian aid in Palestine. ♥️🖤🤍💚

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

ICYMI: Charlie Kirk's death is a tragedy. No debate about that. But he was also a controversial figure. Media can't be afraid to say so. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

I do not mean to diminish the memory of any of the almost 3000 individuals who were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks with this post. That said, we should be aware that the number of Americans killed by guns annually amounts to roughly FIFTEEN 9/11s www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Seconds into this video about construction of a fusion reactor in eastern Washington, and I can’t help but notice an uncanny resemblance… youtu.be/o8VZsksGXcY

This is the dorkiest, most mall-cop-coded shit

It took me a sec to realize there wasn’t a Garry’s Mod Monkey Island game I’d somehow forgotten about

Every DOT's Traffic Projection vs. Every DOT's Vision Zero Projection

Tonight, we got results that were even better than we hoped, and it’s likely to only get better. Seattle, you showed up! It’s clear that voters want change. This is your city. Join the campaign, and let’s get this done!
