‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

This fucking industry I swear to god

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

Oh you think it's "cool" to do a heist? To assemble a crew of specialists, each with a unique backstory, to create a beautiful ballet of theft? You think it's "cool" to purloin beautiful treasures under several redundant layers of security? You people sicken me. Next you're gonna say you use drugs.

I just remembered the other day when @twoscooters.bsky.social called Nobu "Applebees for rich people" and I'm still laughing

You know that Mario party minigame where everyone has to run to a platform on the board and, round by round, the platform you’re standing on may or may drop out from under you and it repeats over and over until there’s no one left? Working in games feels a lot like that these days.

i can't stop thinking about jd vance laysplaining st augustine to the pope

Absolute perfection from @colsonwhitehead.com.

I can confidently say that I have never once in my whole career worked with someone so indispensable that we actually needed to put up with drama queen asshole bullshit. Giving your team (and yourself) a functional work environment is priceless.

Work: "We want you to use this tool cause it's great and awesome!" Also Work: "The tool broke? No I'm not going to HELP you with that. Maybe you're an idiot, have you considered that? Why are you even using that tool anyway? You stupid idiot."

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

You guys. This just happened 😳This falcon/eagle works scaring away and hunting pigeons to keep Harrods clean.

Good luck to everyone in Chicago going to vote today

If you worked on a game you should get a credit. That's where the conversation should end.

My dad can never remember Timothée Chalamet’s name and calls him “that little French boy” like he’s a drummer in Napoleon's army or a haunted marionette.

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

I only have a top 5 but I love them so much: 1. Metal pen @twoscooters.bsky.social got me at a Marina Abramovic exhibit - former fave, sadly now out of ink 2. 0.5mm Uniball One - writes so smooth, current fave 3. Tombow Calligraphy pen 4. Pilot Juice Up 0.4mm 5. Uni Jetstream 0.5mm

when someone says “great job team” but you’re the only one who actually did anything.

And he didn’t even make more modeling anyhow… This is a deep cut 😂

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

My regular quiz pub has branded glasses now and I’m having a moral dilemma about borrowing one… forever.

How your email finds me:

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Three people came to my birthday party due to renovations.

Please CHRIST look at the UK; Starmer’s Labour didn’t win the last election; the Conservatives lost it. The thing to do is to *BURN AWAY* Schumer, Jeffries et al through direct action, protests, primaries. You and I are in charge (sorry! but also: congrats!) Catch up with us, Dems, or be retired.

This monologue is an all timer. Rest in peace, legend. youtu.be/2WkWoMcghhE?...

😭

The children are so boring now.

This is hilarious, actually.

when your app downloads a lot of json

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

Thrilled to see @jenreadsromance.bsky.social talking all the sense in the Guardian today! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)

The top reason studios use consulting labour for narrative is that they all want to avoid having a greater quantity of writers and narrative designers on the full-time payroll. That's it. It's to get the stuff designed and written but also save money/commitment.

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

Ursula K. Le Guin, spitting truth.

I’ve been WAITING for this very question, Emily. And the answer is YES. There is life before Maldon salt and life after Maldon salt.

Godspell supremacy always and forever. And frankly, Wicked could never be as horny as Pippin, so in conclusion it’s the 3rd best, that’s just math.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'

To that effect, nobody should be using it for anything important.

I used to think X had no public utility but it is developing into some sort of monument to billionaire hubris. It's a living museum of paranoiac mania, a Grey Gardens situation.

My kingdom for a log line

Heads up on the north side, re: this little cutie! 👇👇👇
