post you from a different era

I actually think it's worth listening to this interview. Coates does a really great job refusing to allow Klein to frame everything as in service to politics, and instead forcing him to meet Coates on the more essential ground of morality. It's frustrating to listen to, but also instructive.

somebody pls invent "having friends" but aircraft grade unibody aluminum, there’s a market i promise

Above the Rubble makes you to go through a list of people killed in Gaza since October 7th, 2023. One revolution of a crank on Playdate, one person. mouflon-cloud.itch.io/above-the-ru... I’ll share a bit dev-loggy info about it here in the thread 🧵

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...

🚨 MSF FORCED TO SUSPEND ACTIVITIES IN GAZA CITY 🚨 Our clinics are now encircled by Israeli forces. There are continued airstrikes & tanks advancing closer & closer to our healthcare facilities. This is an intolerable level of risk for our @msf.ca staff. I am outraged, and you should be, too.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

SpaceDrake’s death is a major loss for the localization field. They were a very welcome presence in my social media feeds for years, and it’s heartbreaking to see them leave us so soon.

Here’s one more thread about Above the Rubble. Because Playdate isn’t powerful, I needed to prepare the data. You can’t just throw an Excel sheet there and load data from it. So, a few words about working with that dataset in a non-statistical way, preparing it for a different way of seeing 🧵

i directed this 1.0 announcement trailer for rhythm doctor; you will notice the word i did not use is "edit," and the reason for that is that the thing i say at the start of this trailer is 100% true (i mean. of course it is, imagine how brazen it would be if it wasn't)

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

My motivation: Statistics are useful for many things, however sometimes it’s important _not to zoom out_ and to stay with one name at a time. Instead of comparing this list with other lists, to look closely at each item in the list. The interaction of turning the crank feels very powerful to me.

What I adore about Consume Me, one of the year’s best, is that it always fights the urge to make life more dramatic than it is. A girlhood coming of age story that lets its hero go with the flow instead of reducing her to a rock bottom cautionary tale. My review. www.polygon.com/consume-me-r...

Still the coolest thing I'll ever work on, now in COLOR!

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

Baby steps and Blippo in the same day. The universe is trying to balance out with the power of video games. it cant succeed and yet I am grateful that it’s trying

Burnout is never worth it If you feel like “on the edge of burnout”, that’s already burnout One cannot manage burnout alone, the org needs to follow good practices

I’ve been struggling with brain fog and panic attacks because of burnout, and my god it’s exhausting. Solidarity with everyone else going through burnout, it is no joke.

AI overview just told me that the best way to find the thing I’m looking for is to enter it into a web search engine and check the results. I can’t even. (Pic shows my original search in Czech, the translation is in ALT.)

I'm incredibly ecstatic that we reached $100,000 for the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle. With just 2 days left to go, please RT and support the bundle, and let's push it as high as we can go!!! Thank you for the support!! Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

The sixth volume of Lock On from @lostincult.co.uk just landed on my desk and what an absurdly magnificent achievement! I love this.

So here is what I think is happening, because I had a front row seat to Mike Flynn doing this sort of thing at DIA … The agencies are collecting intelligence from bad sources or dictating what they want their sources to say so it ends up in raw reporting. They can then weaponize this intel.

15 years ago at a conference, I took a bit of potato salad from a big bowl at the same time as my fav movie reviewer at that time and unintentionally touched his hand. My general magnitude of social interactions is low, so I decided this counts as one. Also, in my language, the anecdote rhymes 😅

Annual pumpkin “anxiety crochet” report: Last year = Bad.

The issue is that this is not at all easy to fix — this is how the LLM tech works. They can add tons of safeguards but they cannot change the nature of the probabilistic text generation. The bias will leak out in new ways.
