It's just a bullshit product designed to fuck everyone over except the billionaires. Stop using it.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years. we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this?? between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

The [expletives deleted] in charge of the USPS have shifted the burden onto the mailer for something they used to do by default. Slow erosion of the quality of life the USPS gave us that we all took for granted because it's HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO FUCKING WORK.

At the beginning of the year, I never dreamed to imagine that when they made one of my favorite characters into a Magic card, she would both care about and enable impulsive draw, one of my favorite mechanics. (I'm also glad one card didn't have the "Ghost" moniker, bummed it wasn't this one)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The median American has $8,000 in savings in the bank. In other words, this is like giving the median American an opportunity to make a massive, scandalous crime go away for a fine of $240.

These two images of Chinese train driver Han Junjia were taken less than 30 years apart. Transformative change is possible when it is relentlessly pursued.

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

All that hot air about the major redactions being about protecting victims and they didn’t even bother to redact a bunch of victims. Financial institutions, co-conspirators and potential customers, though? They’re pretty good at that for whatever reason

The thing that bothers me about our post-pandemic COVID discourse is how much of it isn't about how to do things better next time, it's playing Monday morning quarterback. It's not about learning, it's about spending years trying to win arguments that people had online from March 2020.

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

Happy jerboas 🐭

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

And Tiny Tim, who did die... NOT!

It is time @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social

I have deleted Rocket League. Just a huge fucking bummer, I loved that game so much.

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

yeah my IMO is: it's bad to use it, it's bad they left it in, it's good they removed it, it's good they disavow it, and it's entirely justified to have rescinded awards for it. i will continue to talk about clair obscur fondly.

@vorthosmike.bsky.social @cmassive13.bsky.social thought he remembered you mentioning a spray for treating signed/sketched playmats, do you have a recommendation for preservation during play?

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most. sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again. quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Pretty please, folks, we were supposed to leave quote dunking behind on this app

The genAI stuff is why I have refused to play this game that, by all accounts, looks pretty dang cool. I know I'm way more likely than the average person to boycott a piece of media for an association like this, and so I'm extremely pleasantly surprised by this retraction.

good, fuck gen ai in game development and all other art and entertainment fields

Was very happy to contribute some thoughts to this excellent article 🙏

Twice this year I've received information during the work day that has left me absolutely distraught, both times with a connection to the same (wonderful, lovely) person and it is just SO hard to be rational and let it go rather than be petty and hold it personally against them 😫

For the folks who came out to see these secret Santa games, thank you so much. To the folks who participated, built decks, and played, we are always thankful for your time. Here is the thread of submitted decks and their gracious creators.

It's astonishing how a technology called artificial intelligence has revealed the actual stupidity of so many people. This tweet hasn't been bettered

Movie Villains are more 3 dimensional than this fucker www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/p...

while i am not an academic i did see this coming and post about it on bluesky, which is why i am quoted in this article

I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

my friend that just died never got married to the mother of his child or the partner that helped him raise the child later because he would have lost his disability benefits that he needed to survive

Still don't know who brewed this for me, but I love my deck and it popped off in a major way (helped a bit by other players ramping everyone for 7) in pod one! Pod two is under way with one more afterwards! I'll likely be asleep at the end of stream so I'll have to find out my gifter in the morning!

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

If you are still on X/Twitter in any capacity as an artist, get off there right freaking now.

Remember when Elon asked how much it would cost to solve world hunger. He was given a number and detailed plan by the UN and decided to do nothing about it. Instead, he decided to get into politics and starve people by gutting USAID via DOGE. Murderer.

"Can't put the genie back in the bottle," people keep saying about AI. But there was never a genie. That was a bottle of piss. Whether or not we can put the piss back in the bottle, we don't have to drink it.

We have to adopt new tech or else our game will fail, which is why all successful games from a few years ago included blockchain technology

If I were to gain a nickel for every unique instant where Ive prevented a very determined innocent suspect from falsely confessing to a crime they themself did not commit, I would have 2 nickels. That doesnt sound like a mighty lot at first, but please consider the absurdity: this has happened twice

I love this tradition and I love these people. These two decks, designed for and gifted to me in past years (life drain vampires by @cmassive13.bsky.social and Muppet Christmas Carol theme deck by @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social ), are two of my most treasured decks and I'm so excited to add a third.

One of the most freeing moments of my life was when I stopped caring about seeming smart or cultured and just started being excited and curious about things. You meet the coolest people when you show passion in your work and genuine interest in the passion of others.
