“The biggest US-listed companies keep talking about artificial intelligence. But other than the ‘fear of missing out,’ few appear to be able to describe how the technology is changing their businesses for the better.”

Starting to think this guy has a significant cognitive disadvantage

I forgot to post up my VCFMW table setup yesterday. There were so many lovely folks to chat with and share my love of these systems with. The lead-up work for conventions is so stressful, but seeing so many folks connect with systems from Japan makes it all worthwhile.

Free Piano (Not Haunted) @heywhitney.bsky.social takes a new note to cleverness, spookiness & coming of age story. I enjoyed the way this #graphicnovel is written/crafted! PLUS a great read for spooky season but also being true to yourself! Here is a little fan animation I made based off the cvr!

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived

Yeah it was a fun 30 years. My mom got paid 6 figures for writing one-page press releases. My dad had a pension. You simply could not make them understand that their world is gone.

I keep thinking about how a couple weeks ago, i was settling up with a contractor who quoted me $300 and gave me a 10% discount, and I go "oh that makes it easy, so $270 yeah?" and he looks at me like I just grew a third arm, unable to speak, for a few moments before punching it in his iphone. 😟

I keep thinking about Puppy Love Story for the Casio Loopy. It's got to be one of the most unexpected, wildly entertaining games I've played in years. And surprisingly poignant, too. That alone made getting a Loopy worth it.

Life is for the living. Just ask this dead guy

Now THAT'S picture-in-picture!

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

This human scrotum is not welcome in my Canada. Get fucked. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is an excellent primer on lowercase-w welfare and realistic means of poverty reduction under capitalism. I'm ashamed to admit I thought it was more of a complex problem but this really breaks it down. (The ideas are far from new, they're just explained well)

Alternative hypotheses supported by the same data: intellectually incurious people are less likely to understand AI (or anything else) and more likely to use shortcuts such as AI. The study didn't, for example, see how people acted after being educated about AI, so we only have correlation...

I have no fucking clue why the rest of this country is even allowing this happen. Alberta is not a state. This shit is not up to them. None of this should be enforceable, which tells me if it actually happens it's just voluntarily being done on their own. Absolute horse shit #political

the games for palestine charity bundle is here! this is incredibly important. please help by spreading the word!

Is it just me, or do you find it a little passive aggressive when people gift you container repair spray? 😒

Big news!!! Free Piano (Not Haunted) is a Harvey Award nominee for Best Children’s Book! Huge thanks to everyone who’s supported this haunted little story. My 80s pop-star ghost heart is singing today. 💖🎹👻

If anyone spies a Casio Loopy at @liretro.bsky.social this weekend send it this way! 👀💦

Another WCC show where @partlyhuman.com's Floopy Drive helped the Casio Loopy capture the attention of scores of folks! Talked to a few guys who were amazed to hear that there was almost no homebrew for this system yet- hopefully they'll be the heroes to port DOOM over to it. 😁

I need everyone I know to play Puppy Love Story for the Casio Loopy

I spy Free Piano!

Girly Gaming Weekend returns!!! Join me and @sailorhg.com Aug 9th & 10th at Bubblesort Studios in SF (78 Gough St) for a weekend of hyper femme gaming fun. This time we’re celebrating rhythm games feat. Para Para Paradise, Popn’ Music, handheld DDR and more!

It's so goofy that our right wing media is so openly villainous to such a silly degree that they unironically run segments that are like FUCK MISTER ROGERS. FUCK SUPERMAN

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

I'm stoked to have finally finished the Kawaii, a fully functional metal Wii keychain. It's way smaller than it looks— only as big as a Game Boy cartridge! ✨🟦✨ Huge thanks to @weskmods.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social for being awesome project partners!

Whoa it’s Amazon Prime Day! Yeah I’m into PRIME. P - Purchasing R - Right from I - Indie bookstores who M - Make our communities E - Even better places to live Shop indie, shop local.

i'm crying oh my god mamdanitimes.com

"And that is why we always insist on Information Retrieval charges."

I’m sure I’m not the first person to make this joke, but some journalists really do talk about Mamdani the way J. Jonah Jameson talks about Spider-Man

Alberta now leads the continent in a preventable childhood disease that leaves at least two of every 1,000 infections with severe intellectual disabilities, pneumonia or hearing loss. Or dead. Andrew Nikiforuk writes. #abpoli

Real question: how does anyone afford anything anymore? Why do groceries feel like a luxury item?

"No one knows what will come to replace the international system that is currently collapsing around us, but any political system that prioritizes punishing those who protest genocide rather than stopping the killing has clearly exhausted itself." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I just finished my copy of the new graphic novel “Free Piano (Not Haunted)” by @heywhitney.bsky.social and it is an absolute joy. Beautiful art, sweet and fun story with a moral that everyone who spends too much of our days online needs, and even a history lesson about the Prophet-5! Wonderful book.

Yeah, me too, but you don't see me bragging about it

the No ICE in California charity bundle is here! buy a bunch of games to help raise funds: itch.io/b/3110/no-ic... the bundle will fund Immigrant Defenders Law Center, an LA based social justice law firm that defends our immigrant communities, and RAÍCES, a Texas based organization…

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
