A quarter century ago (jeez) I did a column called Game Design Step By Step on RPGNet, where I designed a game from the ground up, in public. (That game, by the way, was UnderWorld: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2... ) (Cont’d)

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed www.404media.co/apple-banned...

‘Idiocracy’ (2006). Dir. Mike Judge.

Look into the reaction from 100 years ago when it was proposed we stop sending children into coal mines or getting their arms ripped off in factories. The rich said it would collapse society itself.

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

One year since I ruined the slumber party.

Nobody should be using Google anyway. If you ever needed a reason to start using DuckDuckGo this is probably it.

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

Plentiful and affordable housing, public healthcare, a healthy sense of shame, privacy, the social contract, Roe vs Wade, a future you felt you could build towards, doing most things with other people, reading for recreation, critical thinking, commonplace intellectual curiosity, actual subcultures.

You're Gen X. You can bring back one thing from the 80s. What is it?

All this GenAI shit remains extremely "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." coded.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Get your bag, I guess.

TIL that in the wake of T2: Judgment Day’s success Edward Furlong became a MASSIVE pop star in Japan releasing hit songs and music videos crafted solely and specifically for that market that look and sound like he was forced to perform both at gunpoint. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wurx...

This sounds so cool!

I hope people give disadvantaged artists a shot first. Less likely, now. I wonder what her clothes, makeup, health, time and image consult cost. I wonder what kind of bed she sleeps in at night. I wonder how much personal space she gets to have. I wonder if she notices any of it. bit.ly/4st38ou

At some point this years-long bloodbath will end. At some point we'll run out of blood.

Hey, you. Yes, you. If you were to really drill down, what was the one weird thing or moment way back when that set you on the path to being who you are or doing what you’re doing rn? Is that thing still a part of your life?

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

Hello, sudden influx of new people. I really need to pay more attention to this thing. Currently the lead setting designer on Zeo Genesis, working with actors, writing an audio drama, designing a game, getting a business off the ground and working on some other stuff.

While waiting for 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR, check out CHAIN REACTIONS on Shudder for @horrornonna.com's insightful analysis of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (the strongest segment in the doc imo)

What I'm hearing is: we'll fast-track global water shortages, price-restrict the availability of technology to the wealthy and radically inflate the everyday cost of living for everyone on the planet... 1/ sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-...

Why AI Will Not Provide Sustainable Competitive Advantage

Once AI becomes pervasive, it no longer gives companies an edge over rivals — but cultivating creativity can.

Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.

borderless@borderless.bsky.social · 9mo ago

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Starting the new year on the right foot.

No, I don't.

Want to travel to the US? You might have to give the Trump administration the last five years of your social media history.

To me the strangest and saddest thing about these MAGA types talking about Valhalla is that Odin hung on the world tree to win, for the people, the runes - language, organised thought. And the same MAGA types are doing their utmost to take that gift away.
