programming is great vs. writing. in programming, i can get things wrong or get things right, and as long as I get it right eventually, no one complains. in writing, there's never right or wrong, and even when something is "done", people could find some horrifying flaw 20 years from now

One of the best things to recognise in yourself as a creative person is when you are Sauceless. Not art blocked. Not struggling with a difficult creative problem. Being Sauceless is when you've done good work but have been staring at it for too long, and risk making it worse through noodling.

The Rockstar union case made its way into UK Parliament earlier today

Pretty wild that Nintendo announced the Switch 2 right as Trump tariffs kicked in. And now then the Mario Galaxy Direct came out today when... well

I do hope people can keep in mind these emails are not just catharsis and an opportunity for a sassy remark (which they can be) but also soberly remember justice can finally happen for trafficking victims and anyone who's suffered similar violence

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) just signed the discharge petition to force a vote on making the DOJ release all of its Jeffrey Epstein files. She was the 218th signature, which means the petition is now frozen and no member can remove their name.

Very concerning that humanity has to be this steward of this new technology, right at this moment where all these regressive stances are coming back into vogue... "arc of the moral universe is long" eh? Well couldn't we speed it up a teensy bit!?

your best is enough 💙 #art #comics

There goes Mayor Adams. I do wonder how many folks were sleeping in the ranked choice 2021 Democratic Mayoral Primary though compared to 2025 though. Maya Wiley seemed like a pretty good candidate! Maybe this could've been avoided if she was more active on TikTok 🤔🤔🤔

if archive.is dies, I will start the revolution here and now

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

"It's not a tomb. It's a town. And it will always be." Czech larp group, Rolling, are based out of a former Nazi concentration camp hospital. Their performances embrace the complications and pain of that history.

Temps might be dropping, but supporting your indie bookshop will keep you hot 🔥

NEW: Rockstar Games says the 30+ employees it fired last week were leaking confidential information, disputing allegations that the company is union-busting. The union says it was a private chat with labor organizers. This messy battle isn't over yet. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In addition to the countless canvassers, and Mamdani's own tireless efforts, remarkably, Curtis Sliwa may have had this strange part to play in this chapter in saving American Democracy. And while the history books might remember others, I'll try to remember the New Yorker in the red beret. 🫡

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

Hasan Piker on Zohran Mamdani winning "If it didn't mean anything, why do you think all the forces of capital are using every fucking tool they have at their disposal to go against this dude? They understand the danger of giving the working class a crumb of fucking hope."

Honestly the bet on AI is basically this coin flip: Heads: We achieve artificial general intelligence in 2-5 years. Tech CEOs pop the bubbly, & we figure out mass unemployment later Tails: We all lose half our retirement savings while tech CEOs get bailed out by the government and taxpayer dollars
