so far I've only see two people actually upset at the changes we announced for the twipys this year. which either means people don't care about the twipys anymore or people are finally ok with some changes. both are fine outcomes.

it's taken a few years but finally took over the #1 search ranking spot for my own brand name, over the pathfinder character class that goes by the same name

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

Things I want to scream to various people in the IFPA discourse... "I TOO HAVE RECEIVED DEATH THREATS IN PINBALL" I get it, honestly. But context matters.

pro tip: hate mail doesn’t work if you already hate yourself

Well despite multiple journalists confirming my decisions on a recent piece were logically and ethically correct, many are still mad. Can’t win!

IFPA issued a statement, but in tracking the live convo around it in the IFPA official discord, it seems that the Women's Advisory Board was not sufficiently involved in the decision-making process and 5/6 members advocated for a different outcome. www.ifpapinball.com/ifpa-stateme...

Over Ten Years in the Making, Scorbit is on the Verge of a Breakout. Enjoyed an extensive conversation with Jay Adelson and Ron Richards of Scorbit ahead of their big reveal. www.kineticist.com/post/scorbit...

Speaking of LLMs, I had originally declined to speak at Pinball Expo this year but had an opportunity to join this panel on the rise of AI in pinball art and I couldn't say no

What exactly are LLMs good for again?

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

If you’re looking for indie media to amplify and back with your cash, we have 34 publishers participating in the Back Indie Media Drive who could use your money to stay in business projectc.biz/backindiemedia

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

We're doing a drive right now to get 1245 new paid subscribers for these indie media publications and if you're putting your money where your mouth is, this is a great place to start

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

A timeline in which I have to rally behind Jimmy Kimmel. Dark times, indeed.
