"Today is August 4, 2026". Happy "There Will Come Soft Rains" Day!

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

“Billionaires create wealth.” No, workers do that. The word you’re looking for is “hoard.”

There are posts going around to share your most liked work on Bsky - how do you find out what that is? I used to have a "my bangers" feed but it seems to have vanished. What's the new way to see your own top posts?

New Jamwitch mailing list! As a reward for signing up: how would you like to play a small, free, narrative word puzzle game? I've been helping out with a really cool one as a side side project, and I'll share that with mailing list subscribees this weekend.

Hey folks, we're starting a Jamwitch mailing list if you'd like occasional emails when we have something to share! Sign up for the mailing list to get key updates: mail.jamwitch.com Or to get more involved, you can join our Discord: discord.jamwitch.com

Just a little reminder to everyone: Algorithms are useless. It's very hard to find cool stuff without being shown it by someone else. So if you find something cool - a band, a game, a video essay or anything else - share it and tell people about it. And thanks to anyone who does! You're cool!

Working on a new cover illo, hopefully to be finished in time for the next KidLitArtPostcard day. It's a mix of of science fiction and fantasy as I love genre stuff but have surprisingly little of it in my #kidLitArt portfolio. #kidLit #coverArt #sciFi #illustration #characterDesign

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

I need every single person who’s trying to fill a hole in their soul via the pursuit of money to see how utterly useless it is as a salve. You’ll still be this unhappy as a billionaire. Be a normal person and fill that void by mildly entertaining teenagers with weird games.

Music added for reference, just to add context of Bowie singing about a mass extinction event. Maybe Meta's trying to add the subtext of what they really think AI will provide, but who cares as long as we added shareholder value? music.youtube.com/watch?v=2Obj...

If you put “Meta uses Bowie’s ‘Five Years’ in an ad about AI” into a work of parody you’d be considered to be laying it on a little thick:

Are we miserable because we still need to draw 9000 mushrooms for this game? #gamedev #indiedev

"Cognitive surrender" is a fascinating concept to think about the impact of AI as it exists under reactionary tech Preventing people from thinking for themselves and imagining different worlds is a godsend for authoritarians thenextweb.com/news/wharton...

Itch has decided not to index my game for some reason, so the only way anyone can find it right now is through bluesky. Would really appreciate it if you could check it out!

Quite amazing and brave. Hawaii’s top court has basically declared SCOTUS to be so compromised—so blinded by racism and loyalty to big money —it can be openly ignored by the state.
