I wrote about “Slow LLM,” a new web tool that discourages AI use by… making chatbots really really slooooooowww It can be run as a browser extension or even deployed at the network level as a DNS service, making everyone experience mysteriously slow response times. @404media.co

Early Spring 🌱

Bless this mess! Voice acting by Shoko Plambeck The layout of this apartment is very similar to the one I had as a student in Kyoto 25 years ago (though this one's about 4 times bigger for gameplay purposes!) #MadeWithUnity #LostInDreams #gamedev #indiedev

Made a new shop for sketchbook PDFs! Each one is roughly 75 pages full of doodles, and I’ll be adding a couple more sketchbooks soon! Link below and in my bio for anyone interested :-) benmceart.itch.io

pantomime opposition. all we have is each other

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

Art for our upcoming game @gardens.dev 🌳

We're kicking off 2026 with a new website, a press kit, and a look back at the year just past which saw us running external playtests, hiking among the redwoods, and sleeping in racecar beds. Here's Gardens Interactive's 2025 Year in Review! 🐸 gardens.dev/blog/gardens...

Rescue Mission 🪽

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

'Microsoft has no place being accomplice of a genocide:' Arkane union workers demand Xbox maker sever ties with Israel

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Curse 🗡️

Morning on a moon 🌘

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

And you know what the talking heads seem to rarely use 'violent' to describe? The systemic destruction of families through ICE detentions and deportations. Breaking a window is framed *primarily* as violence, but taking a grandparent away from their kids or sending someone to a work camp isn't.

Very excited to share more of what this great team has been cookin' up 👀🌳

the issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both
