Sam Altman matched with a man on Grindr, who posted the conversation. Open AI offered him money to take it down. He made a song instead.

Amanda Nelson has recapped the mind boggling successes that.... wait.... sorry... failures, Trump's mind-boggling failures for the week. Our country did better when he could still putz around a golf course. Oh & Epstein isn't going away, no matter what he blows up or tears down.

750,000 deaths in Africa alone, all thanks to Elon taking a chainsaw to USAID. Why do we keep going? Because there need to be consequences for the harm, for one. #TeslaTakedown

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

New comic! No kings, please. 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: www.semicoop.com/comic/decrow...

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Not wanting a king in America is one of the most foundational, patriotic, and non-partisan ideals in this country. This is not about left versus right. It’s about whether we want to be ruled by a king or dictator, and we do not. ❌👑 📍NO KINGS CHANDLER, AZ

The mess and roughness and uncertainty at the beginning stages of developing a game MAKE the game. I figure out where I want to go by personally making that first draft. Doing is learning. By not doing the early stages yourself, you never learn from them. That's one of the many problems with gen AI.

“If there is not a No Kings protest within 30 minutes or so of where you live, you should probably be organizing your own — both to make the point on March 28, but also to start organizing your own community for what comes next.” - Ezra Join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Hello #ECCC - we’re demoing games in Summit / 5th floor! I teamed up with my friends at @zephyrworkshop.bsky.social today and I got the photo of all time. Indie Games Showcase info: www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/en-us/experi... #ttrpg #boardgames

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Hey board gamers - your feelings an opinions about games are being turned into slop. There's a channel called Board Game Critique. All their videos are clearly made with AI. They fess up to this, but they claim that they write their own scripts. I cannot definitively prove that they don't, but 1/x

I hope we’re still collectively processing that AEG and the boardgaming consciousness draw the line at being pro-AI and lowering the value of game designers… But don’t draw the line at the insane levels of misogyny exhibited only 2 years ago? It’s wild to me he wasn’t booted to high hell sooner…

THRILLED to announce I just started a new job as a Senior Game Designer working on the Trading Card Game team for Fanatics Collectibles! 🤩 Not much to report yet, and most of the work going forward will be under NDA, but I'll be sure to share more details when I can.
