Just picked up Sea of Stars from @sabotagestudio.com. Bravo to that team for keeping it human. thrd.me/rest Get it here: store.steampowered.com/app/1244090/...

After 30 years writing code, I've learned the hardest part isn't the tech—it's caring about quality when everyone around you has decided "good enough" is good enough. thrd.me/invisible

Well... I'm 5 minutes in and... Thanks for the imposter syndrome, @nonzerosumjames.bsky.social 😂♥️

It’s strange that no one acknowledges AI ethics is really a fight with ourselves. We wrote the training set. The more we hate online, the harder alignment becomes. The tool isn’t the problem. We are. We always were. And always will be. youtu.be/90C3XVjUMqE?...

TPM: *reset* Windows Hello: Hey, I'd like your keys, please. TPM: New BIOS, who dis?

Today is not the time to resign yourself to the comfort of cruel stability. Today is the time to stand up, find a way to make the world around you better, and find someone nearby who can help you make that happen.

Sometimes you just need to say: one thing is designed to justify why some people deserve to suffer, and the other thing is designed to reduce suffering. Pick a side. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AKCd9k/

You know what would be nice? A political candidate who didn't have solutions. But rather one who had ideas and the capacity for collaboration.

I didn’t mean to join a fandom. I just played a game, cared too much about the characters, and couldn’t stand the silence after the credits rolled. New piece on Dispatch and the genius of designing for connection: 👉 thrd.me/fandom #gamedev #ux #fandomfeels #Dispatch

If you’re hiring someone who: ✔ Builds real systems ✔ Has seen things ✔ Talks openly about what didn’t work …let’s talk. I’ve got more where this came from. 🔗 github.com/getnudges/mo... 📬 DMs open #OpenSource #Kafka #GraphQL #CSharp #SoftwareEngineering #OpenToWork

If you ever find yourself going down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole, just remember: the intensity of your reaction has no bearing on the veracity of the claims. In other words, affect ≠ insight.

I mean... They're not wrong. youtu.be/b0Ejuew2riA?...

> Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity... So it is the official position of the White House that speaking out against corrupt systems is an act of terror. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... #wtf #politics #trump #fascism

Bigots: "Go back to your country!" Also bigots: "Let's bring back the Church of England!" Sorry, you can't want Christian Nationalism and not contend with the fact that this country was established to escape that.

So this is how you drop drug prices, huh? thehill.com/business/552... By immediately causing price hikes for the most vulnerable Americans and waiting probably 5 to 6 years for any of those factories to be up and running. Fantastic plan. 🤦

Always remember this. usun.usmission.gov/explanation-... The US voted against the ability for the PLO president to *speak*. Not recognize statehood. Not resolve anything. Allow them to speak. And they refused.

Kenvue is about to start raking in the cash. I guarantee you they're going to say the opposite of what people expect.

I love this moment in Mo. مرحبا يا حبيبتي ≠ Hola, mi amor But it does mean the same thing. Hats off to whoever did the subtitles at @netflix.com for this show. (More details in the alt text)

Political candidates should be expected to stream a total of eight continuous hours at least once during any given campaign. Bonus points if it's with a rival. Give me any reason why that's not a fantastic idea.

There are maybe 1000 genuinely "successful kid #YouTuber" families. Likely even less on #roblox. Someone should collect some data, no? Do something real? There's a research grant in this, I'm sure. Is it always #exploitation, or survivorship bias? Let's do some data-driven policy-making, here.

It’s going to go quiet for a while. The Elsebeneath is still there—ten books deep—but I’ve stepped away. If you need a story, the thread’s still waiting. I just won’t be holding it for now. I'll try to keep my /now page up to date. 🧵 thrd.me/now

✨📚 Just dropped: A Hair Out of Place ✨ A Said-So Academy story about crushes, cafeteria quests, and one very rebellious strand of hair. It’s funny, it’s tender, it’s a little bit unhinged. 🔗 thrd.me/hair #booksky #elsebeneath #kidslit

So I've mostly rewritten the end of this thing, and... 🔉 The Archive of Unsaid Things now has audio for each chapter! thrd.me/archive #booksky #kidslit

America has become an authoritarian state

Nostalgia doesn’t evolve. But we do. The world changes—its music, its flavor, its voice. That’s not erasure. That’s inheritance. Maybe “American” was never a fixed identity. Maybe it was always a collection. thrd.me/nostalgia

Late to the party but... Mexico’s first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, isn’t a token—she’s a climate scientist with 100+ publications & a Nobel Peace Prize team member. This is what happens when women get generations to turn rights into expertise. thrd.me/claudia

The fact that Carlie Sorosiak is able to make me love a mouse in 10 words makes me kinda maddenly jealous. Bravo, Carlie. #books #alwaysclementine #carliesorosiak

🧵The AI isn’t the problem. You are. Most people who say “AI can’t write” are just mad that it didn’t do the thinking for them. The truth? If you’re not bringing judgment, intention, and effort to the process… You’re not using AI. You’re just outsourcing your voice. thrd.me/you #ai #chatgpt

Well this was an unexpected thing to wake up to. Apparently the Elsebeneath is being read in 40 different countries. #booksky #kidslit #elsebeneath

📚✨ New story day! A Kitten Named Kippen is live. It’s a quiet Elsebeneath interlude about crooked whiskers, half-meant compliments, and the strange bravery of wondering whether people love you for you. Warm, wistful, and a little bit scruffy. → thrd.me/kippen #Elsebeneath #kidslit

✨ Just added something new to the Elsebeneath site: reading badges! When you finish a story, you earn a little collectible sticker that floats at the bottom of the screen. Feels a bit like Pokémon but for books. 🐢📚🌟 Go read The Island of Almosts and try it out: thrd.me/island

The Elsebeneath is live with a new way to share your thoughts! Every story now has a short form where you can tell me what stuck with you and why—it’s been incredible to hear which moments mean the most to readers. 🔗 thrd.me/else
