this is truly excellent and important work

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

“The role of Israel’s hijacking of Iran’s street cameras in the killing of the country’s supreme leader underscores how surveillance systems are increasingly being targeted by adversaries in wartime.”

@entobiologist.bsky.social says I have to cut this

Happy international women’s day! Why not read my latest column about Being a Woman and Station to Station here:

My combo interview-review of Station to Station featuring @meredithgran.com is now up for non-subscribers:

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

anyone know any good resources on old school videogame enemy behavior? I feel like I'm trying to reinvent the wheel here. Everything I find is either baby's first unity tutorial or modern behavior tree stuff which is overkill. I want to know how they were doing this stuff on the super Nintendo

jimi hendrix, war hero:

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

hi! find some games, play some games.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

I'd recommend watching Strip Law because it has things like this on it

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

✨ Hi I'm Josie - I make music for games! I'm looking for work this spring and I'd love 2 combine forces with a team that wants to make something weird, wild, and full of heart. Is that you? Let's talk!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ [email protected] 💻 josiebrechner.com

I had the distinct pleasure of playing this one early! if you’ve got a heart and fingers that click you owe it to yourself to check out Station to Station

for me the personal legacy of how scott adams's work touched my life is when i was like 9 i read the dilbert principle, and also the joy of work, and learned the word "masturbating" from one of those books but had no idea what it meant and said it in front of my grandfather and got in trouble

bad week day 4 - rat hole

always knew the burrito taxi industry was scummy but this is the most unfathomably evil, cartoon villain shit I’ve read in a while. jfc

It is unclear at this juncture what exactly *is* allowed to exist in games. Fluffy wholesome bullshit, jingoistic military murder sprees and number-go-up fantasy RPG grinds seem to be the only permissible forms left.

People are spreading misinformation about why it was banned anyway. They're justifying the game's ban based on vibes and hearsay. I don't know how to say this in any less hyperbolic of a fashion, but this kind of shit is going to destroy games as an artform if it continues.

Finally, the first (and best!) video game has been made.

been working on this for a while now! its like the Simpsons game but for @rudetales.bsky.social

Wander in Wonder is such a curious little game! I previewed it for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social at @bcngamefest.bsky.social: indiegamesplus.com/wander-in-wo...
