I would pay money for an app that helps dog owners find places to stay that truly genuinely have no fireworks. Like an apartment swap situation with people who don’t have dogs but do have a quiet place they can spare for fireworks holidays.

A John Wick movie only it’s guys scared his dog with fireworks.

Did you know this years ENNIEs judges were 100% white and 80% male? Anyway unrelatedly here's the application to judge next year ennie-awards.com/judge-applic...

As an academic who does not use AI in my workflow for research and writing, it drives me crazy thinking that a reader might even wonder if AI is used in something with my name on it. We need an "organic" certification so people know that what they are reading is 100% human made.

Worth noting that the tiered access is for the Conversation Focus” feature. So Meta is essentially imposing a tax on disabled people who might use the glasses for this purpose. There are no tiers for perv functions AFAIK.

Tomorrow, Ireland takes over as EU Council Presidency for six months, when the EU is renegotiating tech and tax rules. In The Guardian this morning I argue it must recuse itself from these discussions because it is so captured by big tech. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fun fact: I didn't sell this book via an outline, sample chapters, or synopsis. I sold it on that SINGLE LINE 😆

Every single experience and interaction with Ticketmaster is awful.

I was going to go see Backrooms, then I remembered that A24 decided AI was the way to go and wanted a seat at the table. So I kept my cash and watched Sheep solve crime.

I started to line up all of my best arguments for why the panopticon is bad, actually, but then I remembered that none of these guys are arguing in good faith. These are the people who profit off of the panopticon and they have no intention to engage in "radical transparency" themselves.

We were super proud to be able to host this account of the citizen response to the Belfast pogrom by Lee Hurley. Please give it a listen.

It's not often that someone on a panel says something that makes my jaw drop, but that's what happened earlier this week when the moderator of a panel I was on in Toronto described jailbreaking an iPhone as "rampant theft of IP." 1/

SpriteWrench is one of very few game studios based in Kingston, Jamaica. That scarcity only fuels Glen Henry's commitment to fostering community, sharing resources, and making great games. www.mothership.blog/glen-henry-i...

Thankfully the RPG community as a whole continues to be adamant about the plagiarism and uncanniness inherent in AI. (I'm very disappointed in the board game community which just shrugs its shoulders at creative thieves like the folks at FryxGames.)

Can’t believe there’s no better puns out there. Twitter this is not.

An engrossing conversation as @tananarivedue.bsky.social dives into the experience of researching & writing THE REFORMATORY, with fellow author @smashfizzle.bsky.social and filmmaker Melody Cooper ⭐️

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

I haven't played soccer (football) since 1979, and I couldn't name a player on the pitch, but scrolling past "bad call" "not like that" skeets, folks cheering for countries like Congo / Cape Verder and celebrations of goals is pretty cool.

For all that cyberpunk was undeniably enamored with the coolness and combustibility of new technology, it was also terrified of how technology could be a force for oppression, surveillance and control. As William Gibson says, "cyberpunk was a warning, not a suggestion." 11/
