It already feels bad growing up from a generation of social media where it used to be simply sharing what you loved and devolving into who can shout the loudest. But its extra nefarious for the platforms to move to a situation where your memories can be manipulated by others for their entertainment.

Those desperately trying to get their family and friends of the cult to use a single cellular fart within their brain

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Ah I see that vibe coding update has finally reached me; glad the devs know how to fix this right? And not just rely on Claude code right? They know how to program right? They don't get bad at their user base die calling them out on their shit right?

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

Things are cooking with gas!

Been cooking in #Gaea2 now to take it into Unreal and see if I can live a dream

a lot of the american psychosis i think comes from the fact that the vast majority of us are kept in precarious work, one emergency away from losing everything, while being hit with the constant message that we are the elect, we are the most free, the most worthy. it makes you feel insane.

After Trump is gone, everyone who supported him will act like they never did. Keep records, keep receipts, remember, and never ever let them live it down.

Hot take, but I think the moon joy is less about space, and more about what it feels like to look at experts in exploration doing that exploration with no other shared objective than the betterment of the human race. It's easy to feel joy and hope watching something that exists to make us better.

Used to think the overarching plot of halo - how a handful of select leaders would rather perpetuate a meaningless war that ends with everyone else dying than admit to the lie that holds their leadership in power - was a bit cartoonishly evil and unrealistic to ever happen irl Yeah...

I just finished Final Fantasy 9 🐒 It was so wonderful!!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you design a system and 50% of its users are using it wrong, that is not user error. You cannot blame users for that, you built a terrible system.

I miss when Warhammer 40k's 'Everyone forgot how computers work and now just pray to the machine-spirit to not fuck things up' was fanciful satire.

I’m fucking crying dude. Asking “pretty please do not introduce a security vulnerability”.

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

If you replace your entire workforce after each project, you’ll never grow the generational talent your studio could be known for. You’ll never be Disney, or Ghibli, or Nintendo.

I think we need an inverse thread where we talk about things that normal intelligent people universally agree upon that are for some reason hot takes within your profession

Sometimes I like to do a word exercise where I have a lingering mood, and I break down each letter into a word. Any word. Practice catching my train of thought while also accepting whatever I think of while also practicing actually writing. Does it do anything? Dunno yet

Lying Foreign Leader sold Liars on a Liar's War by Lying, and no one is calling him a truther! Worst of all we have Vance, the man with as much charisma as a dried walnut, doing diplomacy. I'd feel bad for him for being the fall guy if he wasnt the back up plan to destroy the country
