Starting very soon!!

it's the moment you've been waiting for (or more likely were unaware we were even considering): @stellarine.bsky.social and I start our co-op playthrough of Elden Ring TONIGHT at 8/7c www.twitch.tv/parallelplayers/

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

The first time I read this piece, I immediately went back to reread it, highlighted like every other sentence, and then sent Annie 600 text messages about how good it is

Turns out my story "The Buried House" from last year's winter issue of @thecoloredlens.bsky.social is now available online! Read here for free:

Benedict is such an unforgivable motherfucker, it took a "not like other girls" he was horny for to make him realize it sucks to be a girl when he was raised by a single mother and had like ten sisters who've been trying to tell him this for 30 yrs

How did David Brooks get *every remaining job today*? Regardless please enjoy this glorious story that first exploded that he's a TERRIBLE JOURNALIST. www.phillymag.com/news/2004/04...

Huge news for @ifbookspod.bsky.social enjoyers. Can't wait for their take on the final boss of take-havers

Starting imminently! We've picked a game and earlier today I messaged Robin that it reminds me of this Nancy comic

tonight's stream with @stellarine.bsky.social starts at 8:30 ET! don't know what we're playing yet but I bet it'll be fun www.twitch.tv/parallelplay...

Asking my psychiatrist if there's an SSRI strong enough to stop me from wanting to burst into tears every time I hear this song

Hucklerobby fanartists go so hard I wish your ship made ANY sense. Still enjoying the art though

This hit so fucking hard today.

I'm reading an experimental fiction book that I'm not liking very much but I AM learning a lot of new words which is a plus. Ask me what "daedal" and "matutinal" mean. I can tell you now

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing JUST fine, put me back in the cage, I liked being in the cage

Very Sundayish Saturday. I think it's the existential dread

Alright maybe I'll finally start playing Deadlock

❤️❤️❤️

Watching videos of trees cracking and exploding in the extreme cold and thinking that probably feels sooooo good

Starting in just a bit! You can even check out our excellent "starting soon" video feat. a crustacean which @robinbombus.bsky.social put together (not me, I don't know how to do that stuff)

The horrors persist but so do we over at Parallel Players. Watch @robinbombus.bsky.social and me attempt to vanquish The Ceramicist once and for all in more DuneCrawl tonight on Twitch at 7:15pm Central/8:15pm Eastern! twitch.tv/parallelplay...

I'm going to be visiting friends in Los Angeles again in about a month. What's the latest thing with a terribly long line that's actually worth waiting for

I’m an experienced game critic/journalist looking for work! I’d love to continue writing about games, but I’d happily consider PR, consulting, narrative, or non-gaming editorial work. I have experience hosting and producing podcasts, and I’m comfortable on mic and camera. Portfolio/email in bio! 🧵

There should be a new episode of The Pitt just for me every single day

On my way to Minneapolis finally this morning. My plan is to report on the community resistance. So if you're involved in any organising and want to talk to me about it, please do drop me a line - I am dlknowles.12 on Signal!

Something unpack here about everybody at a Born-Again Christian wedding screaming the words to Pink Pony Club

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again! This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

Starting imminently!!

Join @robinbombus.bsky.social, some special guests, and me at 6:30pm CT (very soon) for more DuneCrawl! Thank CRAB it's Wednesday amirite www.twitch.tv/parallelplay...

stop what you're doing and let Amber Glenn take you to church #USPrevagenChamps #figureskating

Tried to tell a friend that the Brothers Karamazov are all blorbos from my show to me and then realized I had Two things to explain now

Has anybody ever introduced Michael Haneke to The Sims? Because I think he'd have fun with it

Really loved Marty Supreme but there was a prop that I'm so suspicious used AI generated art and unfortunately I can't get a screenshot of it but I would love to scrutinize that further. Specifically it was a standee of a cartoon version of Marty that showed up briefly in the table tennis hall (1/2)

My roommate (who is from Wisconsin) said guys were biking around after the game last night waving cheese graters. I'm cackling

Riding the 22 through Wrigleyville on any weekend night feels like this

Brothers Karamaov is REALLY moving after pg. 400. Also Part Four introduced an entirely new and different perspective character that I was ready to be so bored about and after only like five pages he is my precious son Kolya Krassotkin

Starting imminently!!

If you'd like to escape from the news for a while this evening, @robinbombus.bsky.social and I will be playing DuneCrawl on stream at 7pm Chicago time/8pm eastern! So in about 30 minutes. There are crab siege engines in this game. Join us here at that time:

News is so awful today and I was just looking to cope with a sweet treat but there's none really in the house so I've resorted to eating a few handfuls of white chocolate chips left over from my last bake because who cares. Who cares

Timmy I'm going to be honest. I think you actually could do this without her

Just ordered an 8-pack of Barilla pastina and Stardust (2010) on blu-ray because next time I'm sick I'm not getting caught unprepared on comfort necessities

I am too ill for all this. Please

Somehow feeling like there's a canonical answer for "fuck marry kill" when the options are Dimitri Karamazov, Ivan Karamazov, and Alexey Karamazov

Btw I'm about 300 pages into Brothers Karamazov and so far my only complaint is that I want more of the titular Brothers Karamazov and fewer non-Karamazov monks speechifying

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Alright the potion bottles have arrived. I'll let you know what they taste like in a sec

The deer at my parents' house have gotten bold again after my family's dog passed away; here are their hoofprints in the snow on their front walk
