Debate? Which debate? There should be no debate. Tax this fucker and everything he owns for 98% and he'll still have 5.5 billion US Dollars. You'd have to earn 8,000 dollars per hour for 80 years straight to have that much money.

new report by @epi.org and @laborlab.bsky.social estimates that businesses spend $1.5 billion annual to fight against workers forming unions. www.epi.org/publication/... some of this data comes from labordata.bunkum.us

on da Acela train. good stuff, especially when it goes real fast.

Doom 3 makes the doom guy blink whenever he fires a gun 😌 #archive

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

$1.776 as in 1776. As in celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by robbing the Treasury to reward those who are destroying the country

good weekend for getting shit done. rode 20mi along the canal, stopped by an awesome chile pepper farm and picked up our plants for this year, and turned my first bowl (mahogany, with help)

motherfucker

Checked out The Hot Rock (1972) last night on @plante.bsky.social's recommendation (via The Besties ep. 496) and he's right — it slaps! Really fun heist movie with Robert Redford, set in NYC. Check it out!

★ PSA: I'm on Subvert, and just look how comfy I am. Subvert is a new cooperatively-owned music platform, positioning itself not only as a successor to Bandcamp, but as a model for co-op platforms in general. They explain it better than I do, so follow @subvert.fm & read up! subvert.fm/bit-shifter

Namco's exercise bike-powered flying contraption is almost 30 years old, so we tracked down the game's director to look back.

someone visited r/badUIbattles and took the wrong kind of inspo

who do i yell at for this awful YouTube embed found in the Discord web app? how are you meant to adjust the volume? did _anyone_ test this?

hmm instead of engaging with WaPo trollbait, please engage with my blog. no diapers mentioned mattdpearce.substack.com/p/you-couldn...

Some players said the rats in my game were too cute so they didn't want to fight them. I think I found a solution:

Spiralstone is an unreleased Diablo-like RPG for the Game Boy Advance. Check out my latest Museum of Play blog to hear all about it, and why it never came out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlHS...

HEY NYC!! The day after tomorrow, 6-10 PM, is the @nyugamecenter.bsky.social's annual SHOWCASE of new student work! Over four dozen brand new games of sundry variety (see thread!) Come party & let weird little playables warp your mind! RSVP for a free ticket: www.eventbrite.com/e/nyu-game-c...

1 thing to think about: the push for podcasts to have video is mostly coming from the top & it’s to get eyeballs *away* from tv where crews/writers that produce actually watchable stuff have union protection. No sane listener was like “I need to see the smelly, shut-in hosts of my Jonestown podcast”

A sneak peak into the development of indie games:

New for your May Day: I wrote a song about when IT happens. frontalot.bandcamp.com/track/common... And there's a playable RPG music video for it. frontalot.com/loot

imagine earnest posting this

Even got the Celeb version of Net Fighter working, Bill vs Janet for the first time in decades

I wrote about how Titanium Court abstracts communication and starts conversations about what we give power, paired with some funny anecdotes and insightful takes from my interview w/ @apthomson.bsky.social. Game rules hard. Give it a read, maybe share if you like it! exalclaw.com/titanium-cou...

i remember learning "there is no silver bullet" in my cs classes and it's bleakly hilarious that all tech speculation now is "what if we made a silver bullet? we will add the line 'you are the silver bullet' to claude's code"

"Never hallucinate or make anything up." yes, you can just demand that the LLM not make errors that's definitely how the technology works

I do think this is a great time to extract concessions from companies building new data centers. You can and should pas laws that say "You must power X% of your datacenter with renewables and add Y% battery or other storage to the grid". They have a lot of money; make them use some!

This guy put some serious hours into his LG CX and the results are interesting as well. Probably not as many hours as my parents but it's all computer usage! LCDs tend to fail in other ways (mainly the backlight) so this is pretty good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G77D...

Why you should try Post Games: - An NPR-quality weekly podcast on video games - Hosted by a 19-year games media veteran - Rare interviews with the most interesting people in gaming, from philosophers to CEOs, sex game designers to Dunkey - And scripts, editing, and music that respect your time!

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

It is extremely batshit to just say everything in VSCode is authored by Copilot without even checking but that is verifiably what this code change is doing.

Richard Dawkins right now

my apologies to the bluesky mod team. i'm sorry for this post and i've learned my lesson. there should be less active shooter training

Hey, @romchip.bsky.social's December issue is out! And it opens with a really fascinating piece on Japan's arcade scene in the early 80s, and fans building the earliest superguns from DIY plans in a magazine. Worth the read. romchip.org/index.php/ro...

Hi, im Alex Goldman. I host the @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social podcast. I used to host Reply All. We have a premium tier with bonus episodes and other fun stuff. Our goal was to get to 3500 premium subscribers by the end of April. Here we are in the last day of April, looking for 44 new patrons.

Over 200 active video game publications. Text. Audio. Video. Reporting. Criticism. Analysis. Blogs. Sites. Networks and wikis. Even in its incomplete form, the document is a treasure trove! I hope it helps you find your next favorite blogger, essayist, reporter, video maker, podcaster, and more!

Introducing Cursor Camp, a website to hang out with other cursors. Out now :) > neal.fun/cursor-camp/

going to see a band and coming home smelling like an ash tray so bad it would seep into your bedding. let's not do that again!

my anecdotal signal that the economy is dogshit is that basically all of the underground bootleg videogame vinyl groups have gone nearly silent. when folks were flush with pandemmy stimmy checks there were multiple new releases weekly.

it's time, again, to yell at the 33 year incumbent Town Council member who keeps cutting side deals that hamstring our town's bike lane efforts and, therefore, dooming its complete streets obligations.

I’ve been keeping a secret for 5 years… For the first time, I’ll reveal the hidden 5th USB port on the original Xbox and how @makemhz.com spent the last year making the impossible possible with over 250,000 software patches. 🧵

Kate’s work is phenomenal and you should subscribe! I pinky promise you will be impressed by the video game stories she digs up!!

love to stumble upon _maintained_ websites made by ole timers who just don't give a fuck about design and typography sensibilities, but do care about their craft/passion. the computer is a means to an end to get shit done (and the word out about their wares). e.g. stanleytoolsbook.com

it felt trivial at times to be writing about video games at rikers, which is so notoriously dangerous for incarcerated people. still, play and, specifically, video games are a meaningful piece of the lives of the ~12 young men i met and played with at rikers. read: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/a...

Here's a full-spoilers convo on Titanium Court with its creator @apthomson.bsky.social! We talk about the twists, the inspirations, the music, and the endings. If you hit the earliest ending over the weekend, this explains... how that happened.
