"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

The government is full of pedophiles and the legacy media is complicit but on the plus side broad adoption of Linux on the desktop might have a fighting chance so today is kind of a wash.

he’s tired

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

i don't know if i'll ever stop reposting this dude it's everything

politics rn are when youre playing a social deception game and one of your teammates on the not-hitler side doesn't want to take the game seriously and you all lose and they don't know why everyone is so upset at them

wonderful read about play, about winning and losing, about the deep sadness that comes for us, about placating it, and what to do about all of that.

just got a letter in the mail from turning point ceo erika kirk soliciting donations. lol, lmao even.

The blast radius of how much this is going to suck is going to be huge. Best practice for creatives in Hollywood, for crude self interested reasons alone, is to stay as far away from whatever the fuck is going on at Paramount as possible

picking up a project after four months away is,,, fucking hard.

Jamelle Bouie is such a great follow cause one moment it's a wonderful jazz rec (with bonus insight on black writers/thinkers in the replies!), then it's a photo of taking his bike on the train, then it's insightful commentary on Current Year. Hell yeah!

the good time garden is an insane, surrealist video game about a penis man walking around a pleasure garden and slapping any vaguely sexual element of the scenery. and it's free! video games are good, we are so back.

sleuthing...

bluesky is pretty stupid sometimes (as any place sufficiently large on the social internet can be) but it is pretty sick that a piece of law journalism is trending on the platform

it rules that the dumb, venal idiots in charge of the country also can't stop themselves from gloating about all their dumb, venal schemes directly to reporters

Been getting into @plante.bsky.social's Post Games recently and it rocks. It's the kind of informed, inquisitive, and incisive journalism I crave in the games space. It rocks, you should listen! : )

god, i love AI! it just gets everything right and is never ever wrong about basic, perfunctory things like, oh, i dunno, the title of an essay.

there is nothing better than using enterprise software, paid for by your employer, for shit posting.

Setting aside graverobbing woman who died in no small part due to men exploiting her image, copyright violations aren't "growing pains." It's literally the law. They’re breaking the law. Without copyright law, there is no creative industry, and without a creative industry, there is no genAI.

we're understanding Joe Rogan Brain more and more every day

Foreign Fruit by Katie Goh is a maddening read because 1) it's this thoughtful, painstakingly layered and researched piece of art that invites empathy and 2) it makes me feel so bad at writing. like. reading this book makes me feel like I don't know how to speak English, let alone write it.

HAHAHAHAHAHA get fucked you rich asshole

I filled it out and just repeatedly went "generative ai is a danger to society because it leads to people not thinking for themselves"

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

@furnimatgames.bsky.social's Arranger is the kind of game that makes me wanna write an essay about why play and joy (and thus games) are so important.

Bring back inscrutable security posters

PIZZA, and I cannot stress this enough, MAS

I was promised there would be no more history…

there's a case to be made that falafel is the greatest food ever invented. it's not a slam dunk case, but it's plausible and i would respect anyone earnestly making it. the tim duncan of foods

"owning a boat is a financial crime" is a funny sentence

This is from the FT's editorial board. "The world is failing the Palestinian people — a failure that will haunt western nations in particular for years to come."

thinkin' bout how d&d is a kriegsspiel

forgotten Philip K Dick book
