Have been incredibly lucky to have a really solid ttrpg group; We recently just wrapped up a big #realis campaign, and I will miss my little berserker blorbo - but I had a ton of fun with this system, and with the world woven by @syrtis.bsky.social

Happening now at Washington Square Park: A United Healthcare CEO shooter lookalike competition, including people who intentionally and unintentionally dressed the part.

gravity rush 2 feels so so so so good. and the art direction of the environments? Woah

The deplatforming of Milo Yiannopoulos has been so effective that people have apparently forgotten about it as a prime example of why deplatforming fascists is effective.

heartbroken. no dairy queen

mortal engines is the single worst movie I've seen in the last 4 years

lamplighters league... Woah. XCOM by way of indiana jones is a solid pitch. the concept of freely swapping between stealth infiltration gameplay (sneaking around guards) and tactics gameplay ('going loud') is very cool.

discord whiteboard is turing complete

copaganda isn’t just “the cops are the good guys and protecting the population” - it’s also obscuring what they actually do and making it look much more competent and sophisticated and exciting

every video game studio: "hey guys we made a goose, lays silver eggs, not the best but pretty good" big conglomerate buying them out: "great, let's cut this goose open and get the gold, just gotta remove these guts."

In a system bigger than about two dozen people, if you don't have *official* channels of authority, *unofficial* channels of authority will develop. They will be opaque, arbitrary, and usually involve the people everyone would least prefer to be in charge of anything.

Fuck all these agile/scrum 'gurus' who come up with unworkable bullshit like this, if you bring tshirt sizing near me, I'll take your sprint, set it on fire and shank you with it until your burn down graph literally burns down

SAFe scrum is dnd 5e

strong skill overlap between rolling your own ttrpg and rolling your own scrum/kanban variant

The Apple Vision Pro is a revolution in how close to the computer you can be sitting

gotta say I think apple is really cooking with the vision pro. 1st gen, high cost, pain-pointy hardware/software, but apple is the best in the biz at smoothing away friction points. they've really got something good here - in 4 gens, it's going to be killer.

it's all informal networks!!! It's all informal networks of actors with each actor self-defining "us" and "them" hbr.org/2002/06/the-...

corporations are flocks of birds, each person pushing in a different direction miraculously ending up somewhere, neither efficiently or strategically

saw someone say that corporations can be modeled as independent rational actors and lol. Lmao. No.

The acceptable position in the mainstream press right now is to get duped by fascists as everyone screams “you’re being duped by fascists,” do an incalculable amount of harm to present and future people who are different in any way, then, weeks later, damage done, blow the lid off your own failure.

One thing I find fascinating about both the Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon discourses is how they're both so often centered on viewers seeing a film be something other than they want it to be, then thinking the storytelling choice the movie made was wrong, rather than ineffective.

I think we're in an AI bubble - but a much softer bubble than the web3 bubble. the pop won't be sudden, it'll be "oh I haven't heard much about AI in a while". it'll be "gpt 5 is alright, I guess." it'll be the AI hardware (humane rabbit) getting a middling reception by review outlets.

actually useful text-based AI (in the context of white-collar work) is 5-10 years out. ms copilot isn't it.

A lot of people say “that wasn’t on my bingo card” about early year events. I actually made a bingo card this year to remove any ambiguity about what is and isn’t there

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.
