Here's a digital rendering of the sword from COUNT made in collaboration with @colorcubic.com for promo when the book was launching. The sword is called The Elemental". I always wanted to make up a cool sword, so I did it for this book! youtu.be/QCg07qNUR6M?...

The Founder & CEO of @upscrolled.bsky.social, @issamhijazi.bsky.social , published this video declaration that any content containing racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, SA, child abuse, or any abuse, are strictly prohibited on the UpScrolled. Now what’s X’s, Instagram’s and Substack’s excuse?

It’s telling, what the elites do for fun.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Watched the PPB press conference about today's No Kings rally. Assistant Chief Dobson used his position to try and co-op the rally into an opportunity for people to visit downtown and spend money at the local businesses and have a nice time doing tourist things after their little walk. 1/

I will be covering the No Kings demonstrations in Portland as they unfold here for The Contrarian, and then joining our No Kings Live! event, which starts at 4:30 Pacific

“War-torn Portland”

Because “AI” makes mistakes. A LOT of mistakes. We humans make a lot of mistakes, too. But that’s why redundancies are important, to catch those mistakes when they happen. Automating healthcare with AI will only add friction to the redundancy process, which is already a volatile pipeline.

I mean, it’s ironic that it’s coming from disney & universal, but the enemy of my enemy, or somethin along those lines. Anyway…

If this isn’t indicative of the core symptom of capitalism, I don’t know what is. Capitalism has always been rooted in theft. Theft of labor, theft of intellectual property, theft of identity, theft of original ideas, theft of nature.

"In a major labor victory, VFX workers at Marvel and Disney as well as the Avatar franchise “overwhelmingly” voted to ratify their first collective bargaining agreements." 👏

As we approach the release next tuesday here's a fresh update (1.0.1 Build 12) that is currently in review and will be available shortly: + "Media" tab filters. As an alternative to the Portfolio function I you can now simply filter the regular media tab and define what is shown to others.

Got some merch clearing soon, with the activation of Design News Weekly

Hands down, the best Instagram alternative. And love how it fully interoperates with BlueSky, so your follower count is fully interconnected & decentralized. Once they expand into the Android ecosystem, I anticipate it’ll really start eating into Instagram’s DAUs & MAUs. 🤞🏾

Beta testing Flashes for Bluesky (the Bluesky alternative to Instagram). Like how familiar & intuitive this is. This is a preview of a headless, decentralized, open source content management system that we’re designing & developing. We’re building it on the Django framework. More details to come.

Smart thoughts from a sick video game developer brain for you: who is an indie game developer? - an introvert in reality, an extrovert on social networks. I want to be friends and chat with you here, but in reality I'd rather lie down under a tree 😘 kidding #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine

Hi folks! 👋 I’m looking for my next role in product management, project management, or similar! I have over a decade of experience leading software teams from ideation to launch across both startups & large tech companies. I’m based out of NorCal & also open to remote work. Reposts appreciated!

American AI tech bros: “only we are allowed to steal the data & intellectual property of everyone on the internet, to train our large language model AIs, and then steal from taxpayers with $500 Billion in funding & subsidies from the federal government to maintain our grift & AI bubble! Not China!”

In case anyone isn’t clear on where we stand on all the divisiveness & hate permeating from this corrosive, regressive administration… colorcubic.com/news-trends/...

You love to see it 🥰

Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

Had a blast at Signal Life End of the Year Special! I made a mix of some things to come in 2025. Some non-linearity, some good ol’ 4/4 and some collaborations with Koala, Tuune Pauler and Aki Himanen. Plenty more weird time signatures and collabs to come next year. www.mixcloud.com/SGNLF/signal...

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

For those of you still undecided, Elon Musk is a Nazi.

Hey there Bluesky! Check out our studio reel:

Unhoused people told us they already feel like they’re seen as problems to be solved, not people to be helped. In reporting on the issue, we wanted to help ProPublica’s readers recognize the humanity of the people we had met and talked to. By @nicolesantacruz.bsky.social

It's clear the #WordPress world needs a change. So I wrote a post about exactly that: Breaking the Status Quo: A vision for a new WordPress era

All I want for Christmas is for you to consult future #climate projections in your work next year. Everywhere you are affected by weather or climate now, even indirectly, can use climate projections instead of past data. Design, planning, maintenance, operations, procurement, accounting. All of it.

The Venn diagram of AI tech bros cosplaying as wannabe comic artists, Tesla/Musk aficionados, and incel white supremacist gamers, is a damn circle ⭕️ Also, this is a wild-ass take on the casting of Mr. Terrific.

Corporate media, a play in 3 acts

Amid this reckoning over the inhumanity and dysfunction of the American health care system keep in mind you're being asked to believe the same system is treating trans people *too* efficiently

Part of this story: while most of the city is facing massive budget cuts, the PPB spent an extra 1.2 million to hang out.

Here’s a list of some extraordinary PDX mutuals responsible for boosting & supporting mutual aid groups, holding corrupt cops & politicians accountable, and exposing dark-money lobbyists who seek to interfere in our free & fair elections. Show some support & give ‘em a follow! 👇🏾 go.bsky.app/2Qfjeog

For some reason we were added to an AI block list on here. Not sure why, since we’re adamantly against AI, for ethical reasons. Not sure if someone saw the “AI” mention in our profile, but there is a 🚫 preceding it, which is supposed to imply we’re against it. If that’s not clear, maybe this is…👇🏾

Worth reading! 👇🏾
