A lot of takes here seem to presume at least one of: 1. Most people – online and off – hate genAI 2. Tech will fail to make any kind of profit from genAI 3. When that happens, genAI will go away And I would love for even one of those to be true, but that doesn't make them true

The New Yorker masculinity crisis article (which actually came out three weeks ago) is in fact good, so FYI if you’re reacting to it without having read it, you look like an idiot. archive.ph/H3lDT

Me: Yeah, gonna be a busy holiday season for us, but we’re looking forward to it :) So lucky to spend it with this guy! My boyfriend the red M&M: If anyone messes with my girl, they’ll be seeing red! The yellow one is always putting the moves on her, which really chaps my ass and makes it red.

That’s bullshit

Grateful to know Filipa, who lays it all out beautifully here. The era they (and I) mourn was never going to last, but things didn’t have to get this ugly and dangerous, and they don’t have to stay that way

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!
