this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

my belief is that at the end of the day, great games are made by groups of people who have high trust with each other & can fluidly execute a shared vision. which is a small part of why these layoffs are so devastating- it's not just about jobs, it's about these "trust structures" being torn apart.

went to the crab orgy and only two or three of the crabs there had ever heard of u

so I notice there's a gap in your resume

I'm looking to speak to folks who have worked as contractors via agencies or other third-parties, who have lost work recently as a part of restructurings/larger layoffs at companies like Xbox, Epic, Ubi, etc. Want to know about the larger, uncounted cost of these things. Email and Signal are in bio.

Watching Germany lose a shootout: haha fuck yeah! yes!!! Having to watch the Netherlands in a shootout: well this fucking sucks. what the fuck.

turns out there’s moroccan fans that live in my neighborhood and have fireworks

Germany and the Netherlands out of a World Cup on penalty kicks in the same day.

sportsky I would like to hear arguments for other World Cup single days throughout its history that were this packed with excitement

Players and fans on both sides are weeping this is electric. A

When it’s time for penalties

God I fuckin love the World Cup

Incredible win by Morocco

Canada advancing further than Germany and the Netherlands, just as everyone predicted.

I do REALLY feel for the Netherlands goalie, I’ve never seen a penalty go under a leg like that

okay I did scream out loud at the gym. sorry

And somehow it’s gotten better

ABSOLUTE CHIMNEYS

Greatest PKs ever lol

this is turning into an I Think You Should Leave sketch

GUYS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING (soccer; general)

Zlatan is not pulling punches

I have honest to God never seen a goalie save a PK and have it dribble under him like that, woof

I’m gonna throw UP (soccer)

I tell you what, that’s not the result you want there

ABSOLUTE CHIMNEYS

penalties again? no problem…

a Moby-Dick movie ideally needs to be made by someone who was raised in the evangelical church and as an adult has been part of at least one dramatic breakup at a sex party in a warehouse

sliding into your DMs

Whose app? WHOSE APP?

round of 32 is an absolute MADHOUSE so far

Four knockout games so far: - Canada wins in stoppage time - Brazil wins in stoppage time - Paraguay wins on PKs - Morocco ties it in stoppage time

yeah i was hella suspicious about the increase to 48, but this world cup has absolutely cooked in the kitchen so far. superb dish.

This is an amazing bluesky idea. It would be great for experimenting with all kinds of information collection forms, of course journalism and media orgs, but also publishers, events/conferences, artists and writers, librarians and other curators, etc.

why are they so worried

an important idea struck me

I can fix him (line edits)

absolutely fucking not.

your body is a haunted house filled with the ghosts of all the things you could have become

last time something like this made it to senate (KOSA), it passed 91-3. no votes on that one were: wyden (D-OR): listened to at risk people about how it would harm them lee (R-UT): didn’t think it did enough to harm queers paul (R-KY): libertarian stuff you should call your senators: reps.fyi

At least 104 Democrats vote yea to pass HR 7757. The bill passes 267-117. It now moves to the Senate, which is out until July 13th. Will post the roll call of who voted what way once it is uploaded.

Germany defeated by ill-thought-out expansion to more countries than were in the original plan

for my money this is the absolute pinnacle of bluesky scolding:

they gotta put buddy who sailed that PK into witness protection

ABSOLUTE CHIMNEYS

Any team that beat Paraguay 4-1 must be really good

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

It's not too late to call your reps to vote NO on KOSA, and if you like being able to sign on to the internet without entering your driver's license or passport number, it's crucial that you do! I left a message over the weekend and called again for good measure today. I hope you do the same!
