Out of all this destruction and madness, what if we build something even better? Maybe this is the wakeup call. The vast majority of people on this planet just want a calm life. Live and let live. Thats the long term vision. Thats where the hope is. Hope we live to see it.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Surely there will come a point when enough people over there are like 'this has gone too far'?

Accelerating pace of astounding medical breakthroughs.

I can't find him here so reposting the video. These UE5 game experiments keep getting more and more interesting! Work by x.com/zuga well worth looking a little further.

You know whats a real flex? Still using your hotmail professionally.

The web is dead. Continuing to work on a website is a vanity project. I doubt there's any practical point. A social media account is much more logical. But I love the web, as a medium of expression, as a place to discover. It was always a window into an experience.

Mood going into 2026

A January cleansing ritual I have kept up for some time now is to delete my old Twitter/X posts manually, one by one. Everything posted up until Dec 31st 2024. I may keep going this time. Either way it is both a good way to reflect and satisfying to do.

Beautiful meditation on time. Free in the browser. 15min. yezi.itch.io/time

they saw arab spring and went 'hell no'. they saw gamergate and said 'hell yes' and now here we are

The story behind the song 'Jesus' Blood'. The voice of a homeless man recorded in 1971. Almost lost but then turned into a rhythmic looping melody with full orchestra by contemporary composer Gavin Bryars. Powerful. youtu.be/TfT3njX2FLU

Interesting. A website dedicated to helping people across the world learn more about their local Indigenous history native-land.ca

How it started

Some colors of 2025

Fav sunsets from March & April

"brexiteers"? oh you mean eurodivergent people

Read Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin and honestly the only way I can summarize it is that it felt like being in VR Chat around March 2021.

Airports are a race that must be won

Thread of the year over on X. Take some time these holidays and scroll through this once more. Its like a visit to a museum of something intangible but culturally important. x.com/poellll/stat...

Eliza is 50% off. It’s a fully-voiced visual novel about an AI therapy app. It was released in 2019, years before the idea of AI became what it is now. How much did it get right? What did it get wrong? Play it for yourself (play the whole thing) and decide. store.steampowered.com/app/716500/E...

Me to ChatGPT: "You talk so much but make very little sense." It is very helpful to be given the wrong answer multiple times by a dumb machine because then you are motivated to actually both find the answer yourself, and feel good about it.

Locked out of Discord because of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social's Digital ID madness. Just had my passport and face scanned by some unknown private company, you just have no choice. Its honestly a terrible disgrace.

It would take a minor miracle or divine intervention

Thought experiment from 18 months ago: What if you can draw on the world, in AR in world space? Might as well publish it, otherwise its just sitting there rotting on a drive. Join the free TestFlight here to have a sneak preview but it'll be out on IOS soon. testflight.apple.com/join/1E9RUeVr

Some time ago, two people in front of their house jamming. Nice.

Calling all horror content creators 👻 I just launched the demo for Shutter Story - a game about investigating haunted family photographs. Know anyone that would like streaming this? Tag them here! 🙂 #screenshotsaturday

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

If you're in NY, this immersive experience looks really interesting! www.broadwayworld.com/off-off-broa...

MUST HEAR! Absolutely incredible release!

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

My book, Red Earth, is two years old this month and I'm intrigued by this new quantum experiment by scientists that revealed time seemed to loop and fold back on itself. Red Earth engages pre-existing non-linear time concepts through Yoruba knowledge systems (prior to quantum validation)

Poland has unveiled a next-gen train with incredible capabilities. It runs on hydrogen fuel cells and batteries, releases water vapour instead of pollution, and is a model for clean travel.

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...

We are drowning in pointless information

We lament losing something, in this part of the world. Dark days we say. But much of the world has always lived in the chaos descending here now too. Our stability is a privilege built on their chaos, and their chaos the direct result of our privilege.

I used to watch this as a kid on Eurosport. Reverse racing. Very good idea for a Quest MR game where the screen is behind you, so you have to look over your shoulder youtu.be/lLgPTJWAysY?...
