I picked good seats #aewallout

I feel real bad for everyone who's been struggling to care for a delusional family member, watching whatever progress they've made get annihilated by ChatGPT in an afternoon.

Gently grate the pear into the base ingredients.

It is wild that Charlie Kirk of all things is becoming *the* litmus test. Even just talking about the event publicly without a sufficient supply of sackcloth and ashes is cast as "promoting political violence." I haven't seen this kind of mandatory performance of allegiance and piety since 9/11.

I don’t think Julia Roberts is going to be making an Eat Pray Love sequel where she goads her lesbian lover into binging on booze and cocaine while dying of cancer www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

Work is hard when you slept poorly and a champion napper has decided your desk is her new spot.

@patrickhwillems.bsky.social have I invented a fake memory of you doing a whole video on how movies manipulate the geography of New York out of a recurring subject?

What's the "favourite band's favourite band" of webcomics, and is it A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible?

I just realized the clickbait title, personal essay, credits, and basically the entire doobliedoo for the Ghosts video have been sitting written but unpublished in an open tab for... two weeks? Since the Tuesday before PAX.

A part of going to gaming conventions that I enjoy, maybe a sort of oblique feature, is that unlike general tech conventions or even a massive chunk of film/video conventions the vast majority of people with a shingle out have an actual product you can identify.

Showed Bakshi’s Heavy Traffic to a bunch of friends, and among everything we crystallized that John K. Is just a less interesting Bakshi with opinions that are both fewer and worse.

Skong good

Team Cherry managed to Silkpost us all

WTF, William, this isn't funny! This is the only screen!?

A fan named Davin (I forget if he wants to be tagged, I’m sorry) made this amazing little trinket. Mikey got one, too, of the chibi Boushh he uses in his videos. We were both over the moon.

Thank you so much Seattle and everyone who came to see us at PAX, I had a wonderful time, world willing we’ll see you again next year.

TONIGHT! I will lose bad. Come laugh!

Tonight, 5pm in Blue Dragon Movie Game: The Movie: The Game: The Panel featuring me and @mikeyface.bsky.social

Call of Duty: Ghosts – Power, Paranoia, and Orbital Tungsten Rods youtu.be/eKPM7cZORTE

That’s today!

@cortanav.bsky.social I’ve arrived

I vote we take a mulligan on Idaho. Just, like, the whole thing.

I’ve read Convenience Store Woman twice now and I really want to talk about it, but I feel like I understand it only out of my peripheral vision; I lose it when I look straight at it.

If you see "Katy Perry sues veteran over house sale" I want you to know that the actual story is "Millionaire grifter tries to shake Katy Perry down after selling her a house and realizing he probably could have sold it for more, she counter-sues."

I wonder if I can read Virgin Suicides between getting home from Seattle and Silksong coming out... it's not even 250 pages.

I love that XBox naming conventions are so bad that as a matter of course I find myself fact checking which post-360 release was which.

The polishing phase of editing is constant whiplash between "wow, that one tiny change made that 20x better!" and "why didn't I think of that months ago?"

The new video 'Power, Paranoia, and Orbital Tungsten Rods' will be premiering live at PAX West this Friday, August 29th, 6:30pm PT in the Firebird theatre w/ a short Q&A to follow. It will be live on YouTube shortly thereafter.

Of course I tore a toenail to the quick a few days before I need to be at PAX and on my feet for 14 hours a day. Why wouldn't that happen, really?

Worth the 4 hours of driving

Latest in "Dan listens to every single album he owns": Smashing Pumpkins' Adore. It's not an album full of bad songs, there's only a few true stinkers, but this is a terrible album.

That's new to me: spam call that started with "this is the Canadian Medicare."

I lost it at the influencer blahaj

What's funny is that all these GenAI companies could actually just embed compression-resistant patterns into their output that would cleanly make their stuff identifiable, but they don't, because they don't want to, because they want their slop to make everything unusable.

Yeah, cat, me too

Going to be streaming my editing work for the afternoon. Working on the CoD: Ghosts video that's premiering at PAX West next week. (Friday 29th, 6:30 PT, Firebird theatre) www.twitch.tv/foldablehuman

Believers win?!

Are any former VShojo talent going to be at PAX West?

Man, I’ve been illegally profiting off Homestuck re-uploads for years by posting them to PornHub and lawyers haven’t once told me to denounce Sara Z for slandering Andrew Hussie by publishing his own words, in full, in the context within which he said them.

My favourite movie threads on Reddit all follow the basic formula of “why isn’t anyone talking about this movie?!” and then you click and it’s, like, Fight Club or Primer or Donny Darko.

I’m naming and shaming: Felix is not merely a food thief, but a preferential food thief. He will leave his food bowl half full specifically to eat Amy’s. Shame! Shame!

R/aitubers is all the entitlement of NewTubers but exclusively for people openly churning out slop. “I’ve automated 2-4 videos daily, zero human intervention, I spend a half hour a week working on this, why am I not getting paid yet?”

Laura’s showing us this old Ring of Honor match from 2008, and Bryan Danielson has the body of a swimmer and the face and haircut of the guy telling you why you really need to be buying individual parts and building your own PC.

Turnout for the “Alberta should stay in Canada” petition signing is going well enough some sites are running out of blank pages.

Picked up the first volume of Invincible. Huge contrast to the show in what I can best describe as "first draft energy."

Valheim launch was so much fun

Sifting through all the Channel Consultant emails I've gotten over the years I think I can finally put words to something I've noticed about the way they talk. They end up with clients who do need their hand held, but then internalize that as "I'm so insightful" and not "my clients are helpless."

The thing that's so difficult in fighting pseudoscience is that its followers fundamentally don't believe in expertise. Exceptional people? Sure. The naturally gifted? of course. But I've talked to people face-to-face who simply don't believe people can get better at things.

Send me a music video you think I haven't seen but would like.

Got an ad for a $3300 "molecular hydrogen" "ocular treatment" that amounts to an electrolizer and some ski goggles, and, look, if you really want this you don't need $3300. You can blow your garage up with H2 for the mere price of a car battery and a mason jar.
