"They have brought the profession into disrepute." can we do one of these for journalism too

Putting this out in the universe again; I would like to entertain you and your friends on Zoom, for two hours, for FREE, so I can record some of my game shows! Great for game show fans, or TTRPG DMs who need a week off, or people who like Jackbox. Or all 3! PlayMallNightLong at gmail for details!

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

New toys. Got them for $15 each, an absolute steal. Really loving how they look. #digicam

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Being honest about the actual scale & intensity of the feelings young people have about the world they are growing up in is far, far beyond the abilities of certain commentators.

Every single middle and high school in my town has had a walkout in the last 4-6 weeks. Many involved more than half the student body (which is basically unheard of here). Students participated despite threats of disciplinary consequences.

1000% what happened AND despite this young people CONTINUE TO PROTEST AND TAKE ACTION. That's the thing that I find so damned disingenuous among some of these people.

where we're at: ai sucks ass! the fix? ai!!

Just got back from a free workshop that I kinda dropped in on, and like half the time was spent watching Youtube videos and the other half was spent doing ChatGPT shit or talking about ChatGPT shit, and the presenter didn't seem to have any particular expertise in anything they were showing off.

crime dog you gotta find some better wording for this

had a dream last night where skincrawlers were entering my home, pretending to be normal humans checking my place out claiming to be prospective buyers and that they saw the open house sign outside but my home wasn't for sale and also it was like 4am and they were walking all weird and shit

A walk in the park at civil twilight, getting a feel for my new circuit-bent 2001 Sony Cybershot camera. All effects and colors are in-camera.

it really does need to just be totally uncontroversial common sense across all peoples that monolinguals aren't allowed to make generalizations about the differences between languages

"mdni" on bluesky is so funny dawg everyone here was alive when watergate broke

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Really good read on digital preservation, archives, culture, race, and music. 📚📜

honestly a whole lot of the depravity of that group of freak journalists who have made trans women their weird obsession (to the point of watching bsky trans women past blocks to post about on twitter) all clicked into place mentally for me once i realized they're just disgusting little chasers

somehow there's an update... and it's not a great look. it shouldn't be the case that the admin react when there's an outcry then just don't change whatever system they've got in place anyway.

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

these days every once in a while I think about what the north koreans have been saying about us this whole time and go "you know what maybe those guys had a point"

lowkey working on a game like this except the gameplay is more mahjong than anything else

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

a learned co-conspirator just perfectly phrased it thus: "the horrors of giving the angry vibrating crystals agency in an adversarial environment" grith.ai/blog/clineje...

🎲✂️ Playtesting tonight: * Koikoi+Red7-inspired poker card game. Might be a bit obtuse, but also the test only lasted 2 hands, so hard to derive much insight from it. * Team-based 20 Questions-style game with a "mind meld" mechanic. Needs some adjustments but very close to pitchable.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

RT if $3000 would literally change your life

Oh, this is bleak.

Posted this in a discord chat and it briefly caused a panic as if I chucked a live grenade in there until I pointed out that it's from 2 years ago. lol

fuck it, making an ongoing music thread for songs that I have on heavy rotation www.youtube.com/watch?v=O--E...

how can we better impart to people that this is what chat gpt is? it just generates random shit that satisfies what it thinks you want, in this case a guy asking if he's being followed and by who- it just randomly grabs whatever it thinks fits I know AI is marketing but there has to be a way

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank bsky.app/profile/why....

Nah not just a shitpost, i stand by this.

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

What is it with people over the age of 40-50 and treating governments saying "death to America" like it's supposed to shock me?

Bernie Sanders interviewed by NYT's Sydney Ember published on May 18 2019

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Shame on GAMA for once again not including designers in their "Excellence in Game Design" award announcement. Last year they promised that this would be corrected in 2026, but again designers are not given the recognition they deserve. The omission is no longer an oversight. It is a GAMA policy.

I said this a while ago but it bears repeating: The U.S. right is fully captured by a) christian fascist accelerationists seeking to start the Biblical Apocalypse, & b) those actively manipulating (a) for profit. Everything they claim to care about will last only so long as it serves (a) or (b).

Game Market West is back! I'm proud to announce the tabletop games made by indie designers for the upcoming GMW Spring 2026, on March 22 at San Jose Guildhouse, are now available: www.gamemarketwest.com/spring-2026-... #boardgamesky

I swear trees are like the hardest things to take good photos of. They're dense and complex and reflect light + cast shadow all over the place. Every time I see a cool looking tree, I take a shot of it then look at the screen and be disappointed and go "right, trees do that".
