This is a great essay that takes on the anti-trans fallacies that some Democratic candidates are embracing. @juliaserano.bsky.social rebuts every single one of them perfectly.

I also don't want to invest in anything new coming from big studios, either. I'm sick of the big price tags for small stories told for computer rigs that require the best equipment just to load properly. And then others cutting stories in half because they're cheap losers. I'm done.

It's well past time to abandon these big puniyshers, aaa game studios, and "sky dance". Stop giving them money.

Why is absolutely everything so utterly depressing now? Is everything just ... poisoned by greed and stupidity and soullessness? I'm so fucking tired.

Very sad to hear that Margaret Hamilton has passed away. Here's a short thread about her role in the Apollo mission, and her lesser-known work on the simulations that led to the discovery of Chaos Theory. 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️

Margaret Hamilton, a pioneer of software engineering who led NASA's in-flight software team for the Apollo mission, was born #OTD in 1936. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 Image: NASA

She is wearing a short, striped dress and sandals. Hamilton has long hair past her shoulders and wears glasses. She is looking at the stack of code, which is taller than her, smiling and steadying it with her hands.
