It’s great to see our fellow kiwis being politically engaged and participating in responsible political activism.

Spot the cat.

A Cobb County, GA police officer used Flock to search a plate related to a child he was arrested for sexually assaulting. Multiple law enforcement agencies have ignored months of my emails and calls while this cop is not being effectively prosecuted. 🫩

this is the funniest thing to ever happen to everyone's pension funds.

What keeps you going? How far can you climb? A tiny offering of game from a burnt out #bioware dev.

In the last day, 4 different agencies have contacted me on behalf of TikTok offering me money to post content there. Are their recent user numbers really that bad to need to do this?

wow now i see why they have to lose a third of their workforce.

Hitchcock never just scares us; he forces us to care about the monsters we create. 🎬 #FilmCrit sugataai.com/blog/lit-hub...

Lit Hub Daily: October 28, 2026

Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense, understood a fundamental truth that many modern filmmakers still struggle to grasp: terror cannot exist in a vacuum.

pretty sure the reason @discord.com are allowing google to index discord server chats is because google want to train gemini on them. correct me if i'm wrong. and then i'll ask you what's stopping google training gemini on these indexed conversations.

our ci is lacking at the moment because we don’t have enough funding for the compute needed for better runners, but forgejo makes it really easy to set up your own runners and use them with git.gay, so there’s that!

guys we're running out of dumb names for CI/CD pipeline tools. the only ones we have left are test-sicles and poppler.

also pages.gay for static hosting if you want to get off cloudflare.

git.gay i had never heard of git.gay and can i just say, in a world where major platforms are cosying up to bigots in governments trying to roll back years of hard-won lgbt+ rights, this is fucking awesome. a safe CI/CD host run by @besties.house with third party tracking.

Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-range. https://bit.ly/4yHFEyK

this is terrible. anyone telling you this is a "paper loss" or trying to discount that $80bn loss in the GAAP tables is either ignorant or deliberately misleading people. there's no such thing as a "paper loss" when someone is asking you for the money to cover it.

Is that good, bad, I don't know !?

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

in the real world, a company like anthropic losing $80bn in 6 months would involve insolvency teams and fraud investigations, with the c-suite removed. what the fuck kind of world are we in where you do that and it's okay to file for an IPO. if you have a pension, put it in a cash fund.

in 2026, the year of nextfest being loaded with ai games all copying another idea, epic launch their AI megajam and announce and then walk back mandating AI usage. weirdly enough, they want AI to be the future, but they stand to gain nothing from this monetarily, because royalties only kick in 1/

epic games launch SlopJam, or the Epic AI MegaJam as they would like it to be called. but we'll just call it the SlopJam. no links. it's not worth looking at. what is worth looking at is the six fingered hand on the ai generated promo.

EA crippled Bioware with terrible management, and now PIF and kushner's alliance have killed it off for real. i'm sorry that we're losing the next mass effect, but i'm much more sorry for everyone who's losing their jobs so EA can focus on rinsing out children with their multiplayer gacha games.

look. i'm not saying that steam has to do something about the vibe coded game slop epidemic during nextfest. i'm just saying that steam is the only one that can do something about the vibe coded game slop epidemic during nextfest.

In case you needed it today here’s a picture of a chirpy good boy. All cat all feeling.

i don't know about you, but bsky announcing that attie can now make games and websites is peak innovation. the ai gooning team in charge here posting flappy bird and tetris clones made by attie is clearly demonstrative of how agents slopping out old github code is the future.
