I believe this is what's known as fucking around and finding out.
Erin Kissane@kissane.myatproto.social · 4w ago"…as of July 2025, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional, as part of scaling back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried that it could make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks."
Because today of all days I think people could use a good laugh.
Jehtt@turbojehtt.net · last mo.I love how they expanded on the story in this game.
The value proposition of working at an AAA studio was that you were trading independence and agency for stability, and that if the game did well, you would keep your job, and if the game did badly, you might lose it. Obviously it wasn’t that cut and dry, but you get it. Now? You just lose your job.
These game dev layoffs were 100% avoidable. And I mean it. Not just today’s.
can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool
There's a gameplay reveal video out now for No Law, the last game I worked on before getting laid off by Krafton. Awesome job by the team at Neon Giant; it's fantastic to see how far it's come in the last two years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEgp...

The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.
As metaphors go, this one feels a bit too on the nose.
Mediapolitic@mediapolitic.bsky.social · 2mo agoYou guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.
We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.
NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)
Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...
This was good for me to read, and I'm sure it'll be good for anyone else in the same boat.
Kim Acuff Steiner@emberdione.bsky.social · 4mo agowww.emberdione.com/on-rejection... Want to read a blog post I wrote about how to handle rejection from game dev jobs in 2026 that INCLUDES me getting a job rejection in the middle of writing it? TLDR: The Industry is Fucked Yo, it's not you.
I'm not saying I don't understand why someone would remake Ferngully, because I do. But I AM saying I don't see what the point is unless you cast someone as unapologetically sexy as Tim Curry for Hexxus: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVzY...

"sorry I can't come to your once-in-250-years party. I'll be busy doing something it would actually make much more logical sense to do four days later. I bumped it up on purpose so I could throw it in your face. eat shit forever, amen" there is no hater on earth like a hater from Chicago

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com
This roman d6 proves "shiny math rock" has always been preferable to "readable math rock."
Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

Homophobia and Transphobia is so crazy to me because its all based in people’s inability to mind their business
A great summary of just how fucked literally everyone is as a direct result of Trump and Hegseth being absolute fucking morons.
Jim Teeth@drjamesjteeth.bsky.social · 5mo agoThis is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.
