We've been drowning in median voter theory nonsense for so long, trying to appeal to this mythical centrist vote, that I think it's become easy to forget that having courage in your convictions, standing up for them no matter what, will in some cases inspire even your enemies

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

i see this shit, the game goes in the bin, doesn't matter how much I'd enjoyed it or what my plans to write about it had been

This is bullshit. "absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground. "how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

My latest at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: I talked to @oglaf.bsky.social! Not the character, but rather, the people who create it. They don't do many interviews, so this was a real treat. They're funny people! Turns out they're not super private, just...really bad at PR? www.tcj.com/talking-ogla...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

B. Kliban drew one of the funniest comics I have ever seen before

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week. For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018: youtu.be/90vqCKEEj3s

this would sound pretty menacing if i believed he was capable of making a robot army, but he isn't so this just sounds like something a 12-year-old would say. everyone is twelve now

"I wasn't sure, but I guess having a kid on the team isn't *too* stupid." "The Jackal Is Just Stupid Enough!.. wait" "No no, I liked where you were going with that." by @flowuhpowuh.bsky.social

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

My childhood copy of Lord of the rings still has paperclips sealing the Tom Bombadil segments shut because even as a child I concluded they were “far too silly” and I was right to do it

Whether you believe it's real and need to understand why it's not, or you already get it and need a link to arm yourself against misinformation, here ya go ♡ www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

"Anything can be addictive" is the second most shallow and dangerous take on addiction, just behind telling addicts to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. It's a take that betrays zero interest in exploring the causes and treatments for addiction

"It provides dopamine and therefore can be addictive" Ok we really need to get one thing straight. An addiction based on a chemical dependency is not the same as an addiction based on behavior, habit, and lifestyle.

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

"I thought you had the keys to the research cabin"

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.

The end of the recent Naked Gun movie where the villain has been spouting on about the most worthy to survive and then crumples after one punch and whines “you hit me”

this is still funny as fuck actually
