CW: SA this makes me think of a recent scandal with Christian musician Michael Tait, who was revealed to have sexually preyed on young men for *decades*. what gave the scandal traction though? the fact that he was gay. 🙄

hey random question, did the phrase “cancel culture” start with Cancel Colbert? it did right?

📣 SENIOR(ISH) GAME WRITERS 📣 The folks at GDC have reached out to me about heading up a narrative portfolio review workshop. Are you planning on going to GDC this year and would be down to review some portfolios? HMU!

might seem trivial / overly tech nerdy but I'm genuinely annoyed that these takedowns happen at the PDS level and not the AppView level. the whole point is supposed to be that different appviews can make different calls on who's suspended

this headline took me a second. I thought it meant "using AI as *a catalyst* to build nuclear power plants". which I knew already. not "functionally use AI as part of the building process". no. oh no no no no

llllllooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllll

when you get suspended from bluesky you die in real life

i wrote an article recently about how powerful silence is in super metroid and i am thinking about it today for i guess no reason www.avclub.com/super-metroi...

that’s how old I was 2 years ago

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

built on nostr 🚩🚩 (I don't actually know that much about nostr except that Dorsey ran off to work on it cause he wanted less moderation than atproto, so I inherently don't trust it)

everybody it's 2007, pokes are back

if any of my moots are that friend I definitely do NOT want you to DM me so we can talk about it on signal, don't even think about it don't you dare

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

Miles Braun was too kind of a depiction

in a way, if you think about it, Frankenstein's monster is the real monster. because it's made of a bunch of dead bodies and stuff which is different from how people generally are

👀👀👀

me with a lot of the epstein emails today

tiny detail in their pitch for the steam machine here, that it can use CEC to turn on your tv, switch inputs, etc. that's such a small quality of life thing but huge that they made it happen, idk of any other htpc type machine that can do that

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

yes to all of these

enforcing line length when formatting code is a blight on the profession of programming

been watching old monster factorys lately as work background noise so I've gotten used to seeing them pop up in my youtube algorithm. I was not prepared to see one that said "1h ago"

I mean if somebody has any better ideas I’m all for it but the correct answer is and has always been Paul Rudd’s character in I Love You, Man

Hi I had my first lesson with a new composition/theory student today and it was a nice reminder that I rly enjoy teaching people how to make music! And good news, I have room for a few new students! Feel free to email or DM me to learn more 🩷🎼

For real. I find the "obviously Future Class was worthless, I always knew it was shit, these pitiful rubes really thought someone gave a shit about them?" angle to be at best unproductive especially when it comes from fellow marginalized devs.

if speaking out and being loud about TGA and its gross mishandling of the Future Class makes me less employable, that says more about our industry and the people in positions of power than it does me. i have a platform, i'm privileged that i feel safe to speak up. think about folks who might not.

8 commits into my first ever linux project pull request 1 commit fixing previous code so I can add my thing 1 commit adding my thing 6 commits fixing formatting and analysis errors 👍️👍️👍️👍️👍️

Comrades, it’s time for another thread about lessons I learned as a union organizer writing/working campaigns for public employees across multiple states from 2008-2024. Here’s a big one: leaders of progressive organizations are often FAR more conservative and risk-averse than their base 🧵 1/x

It has been easy for me, in private at least, to bellow about how obviously useless and craven a Geoff Keighley-organized advocacy and advancement group would always be, but that is a cynic’s wobbly stance and it could’ve and should’ve been a cool thing. I’m sorry it wasn’t.

been thinking about this old post of mine lately

Are you against fascism or do you just want different victims?

going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

delightful discovery of the day
