I just ate a block of cheese while watching Plur1bus.

Shut it down. Forever.

I get weirdly depressed whenever I look at LinkedIn. Is it me? Should I be doing those things? Should I posting about my work? All those cool people in my field seem to be posting non-stop. Do I have the juice?

Couldn't sleep last night so I spent hours revising my political allegory fall of the Republic fantasy novel...

Andor 2x09 ou Mundo, 3 de janeiro de 2026

Montauk was the working title of the show they pitched. Kind of love how the storytelling rhymes so much at the ending. Well done, Duffers.

Uhh, this seems bad. Please do not use these stupid, evil things. It's actually worse than you think.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

I've lost this Civ game twice in two different ways to a Fascist Confucius - science and then trade (after I blew up his launch pads.) I'm now reloading again all the way back to the start of the modern age. Yes. I'm save-scumming for the right reasons.

We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

I DMd a D&D game for the Kansas City Chiefs! It’s live on their YouTube! youtu.be/likJfWs1gJI?...

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages." Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder. I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

Flotsam builds some hope at world's end: aftermath.site/flotsam-impres...

Based on this post alone, I just downloaded @vivaldi.com. It is a good browser so far at 137 seconds of use and COUNTING!

Who is college for? And what does college do? are two questions of increasing urgency because if those of us involved in these institutions don’t provide compelling answers then the tendency towards reducing it to glorified job training will destroy every meaningful part of the endeavor.

When the NEA asked us to promise not to publish trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid authors, we told them to kick rocks. (Actually, formally, with a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, we told them to kick rocks.) So the NEA rescinded our funding.

Damn. Wake Up Dead Man. Years of trauma just left my corporeal form. You were right @stormkasi.bsky.social !

20 years ago tonight, Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell enjoyed a Lazy Sunday:

PSA: Our roadmap for 2026:

Would this make you feel better

we are tapping the sign once again

As a huge fan of UHF/Weird Al and a viewer of GH for years with my mom, how is this the first time I'm hearing about this?!

I did some writing on Flostsam (which is now out of early access!) - but the majority was by the exemplary @nadescape.bsky.social. Just a rocketship of a man.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Gut punch. My mouth dropped at this news. Just awful. What the fuck?

Central Park this am. 💕 @newyorkcitykopp.bsky.social

Happy 100th birthday Dick Van Dyke!

This is such a fun, fascinating ride; I completely recommend it!

Infinitely more exciting than the TGAs.

randomly thinking about Clem Fandango

Lost a wonderful few hours last night playing Flotsam, a cute waterworld city building sim, due to someone's recommendation on here. So I'm paying it forward. Buy this game. It is good fun! store.steampowered.com/app/821250/F...

Cackling in delight

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

No matter who we are or where we come from, on this special day board gamers around the country have one thing in common: we all brought way too many games home for Thanksgiving.

Hey, props to writers who got literally anything done this year.

movies have development hell. books have revision hell, but you are alone. I will not elaborate further
