Board gamers, remember: when @watchitplayed.tv says “return these other cards to The Box”, in any of his videos, this is always The Box he is referring to

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!" just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement it's 95% now you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

i'm selling a guitar on marketplace and some doorknob offered me a pixelart nft of the same guitar in trade and sent me an image of it and told me it was a 1 of 1 so i downloaded it and replied that now it was a 1 of 2 and this was the last thing he said before i blocked him

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Tigris AND Euphrates? In this economy?

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Spent a couple lovely days in the woods by the beach at the Oregon coast. Yurts at the state park required making reservations well ahead of time but were worth it, I think my tent camping days were short-lived and behind me

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

AI that sucks up original creative expression made by humans and serves up a regurgitated version without compensating those humans 🤮 AI that can submit medical FSA claims for me and remove the need for me to log into two awful websites repeatedly 🙏🏻

A particularly gut wrenching excerpt from this article:

headline of the century lmao

Coding interviews from people who left government earlier this year, and this is a fantastic quote in response to a question about what DOGE tech folk don't understand.

Board Game Geek! Where grammatical pedantry has its time to shine!

The US tech job market remains frozen—employment growth is slightly negative but basically flat, the same as it's been for nearly a year at this point Across all subsectors, growth remains well, well below the peak tech era of 2022 or even the pre-COVID era

Happy World Middle Finger Day! In German, the middle finger is called Mittelfinger when referring to it generally / anatomically. But when used to describe flipping someone off, it’s known as the Stinkefinger. In Welsh, one of the words for the middle finger is bys y din, which means “arse finger.”

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

Hot new GenCon release just dropped

1896: Oh no the train is coming right out of the screen! 2025: The train is capable of self-reflection and I do therapy with the train.

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment. I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:

This thread is incredible.

The only thing to understand about the pronoun thing is that just because something is outside of your lived experience doesn’t mean it’s not real or the person telling you is mistaken or you are being inconvenienced

Appreciating the nuanced political discourse you can only get at the gas pump

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

For everyone who has ever asked, on seeing my Baltimore homicide charts, "How did they do that?"

This is huge

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.

Step 1: wake up from your beautiful board gamer fantasy dream

This was a really fun listen, especially if it overlaps with your interests in 90s Mac software, Rare, Nintendo, and Portland-area software retailers like it did for me

Fascism is evil. Fascism is scary. Fascism is awful. But goddamn it is also so fucking whiny and intellectually vapid and incredibly annoying.

Bold of ICE to just come out and admit that a bunch of nurses kicked their asses.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

the president just opened a concentration camp

welcome to Bluesky! Yes, that's the sitting Vice President over there. we all just ignore him.

Elon is pushing 55 and he, along with his little quisling cadre of fully grown men, is still pretending that staying up all night actually means a single thing in the world of software engineering, let alone model training, tuning, etc. the entire industry is driven by role play fantasy.

For everonye outside of germany, a superrich family fumbled dodging taxes and now paid the record sum of 4 BILLION euros. Which would cover nationwide child coverage by 166% That is the amount of money countries miss out on due to rich people evading taxes

When Dairy Queen first opened when I was in Singapore, the flip thing was in all the ads, and for the first two weeks until they gave up, they'd make your Blizzard, you'd both watch in resignation as they poured it on the ground, and then they'd begin making another.

“‘I had him inside here for three days, in this Louisiana facility, my baby dead in my stomach, inside my stomach for three days, dead,’ she said.”

@johnloren.bsky.social My five year old has been insisting we read your two books to him every night for weeks! Thank you/send help! 😅

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.
