As is the number of responses of the form "here's what [genAI] said" to any question. Invariably the answer provided in this format is partially if not entirely incorrect and now you've also wasted my time.

On a break from designing boardgames to pursue other creative ambitions such as writing books and making indie videogames.
I got salty about AI bullshit because it's all such bullshit, so here is me being very mad and probably not very clear about how mad it makes me. Do with this as you will. *kicks rocks*
You Cannot Use One Bullshit Machine To Catch Another Bullshit Machine
I really fucking hate AI right now. I really fucking hated AI yesterday and the day before, too, though I think the hate is growing faster and hotter, like a sun about to explode and consume the ga…

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

One of the things that's so remarkable about Trump is that even after he has ascended to raking in BILLIONS in bribes and graft, he still can't resist engaging in every penny-ante grift he can think of
CNN@cnn.com · 3w agoA CNN investigation found that President Donald Trump has promoted more than 20 companies on his Truth Social account days after buying stock in those firms – at times announcing government actions that could benefit the companies he just invested in. https://cnn.it/44tiGit

#SpieldesJahres is around the corner! In order to prepare for the ceremony on Sunday, I highly recommend watching the @5g4d.bsky.social interviews with the nominated designers. @spiel-des-jahres.de #SdJ2026 Here's @psycorey.bsky.social with his game Cozy Sticker Ville: youtu.be/c7xuOtguInw?...
Spiel des Jahres 2026 - Cozy Stickerville with Corey Konieczka

This morning I stumbled upon my chicken-scratch notes that would later become Cozy Stickerville. As you can see, the game stayed pretty true to my initial ideas!
This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · last mo.Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."
A 5-4 Supreme Court just barely stopped a president from erasing the 14th Amendment by decree. We were one vote away from a very different country, and from upending countless lives in the process.
Trans rights are human rights. If we cannot protect the rights of the most vulnerable population of society, not a single one of us has rights.
Milestone update: my videogame is now 3/7 of the way complete! Lots of new features this time: sounds, inventory, and new factions. Time to get more playtester feedback, then do another round of refinement.
and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."
Everyone whose livelihoods they want to destroy understands, painfully, the reality of income and outgoings, costs and profits, money coming in and money going out. All of us, in the real world, and they look down on us. I can’t wait for the bill to land for these arseholes. Destroy them back.
Just finished Mina the Hollower and thought it was great. If you enjoyed top down classic Zelda games, this is for you! * Disclaimer, it can be punishing. I had to turn off fall damage to avoid pulling out my hair. 🤣
Asking children aged 9 what they think they'll be like when they're 40.
Check out the new campaign page for The Monolith. We've got a number of tidbits for you, brief rules explainers so you have a better idea of how it works, and some pics. We'll be adding more on soon. #TheMonolith #plaidhatgames #kickstarter
now that's a fucking Space X IPO headline
The world’s first trillionaire is a killer
Elon Musk’s empire of wealth is built on suffering.

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.
ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · 2mo agoI thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...
Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.
Just had an idea for a t-shirt that says: “I’ll be fine to death”
I watched the first episode last night and completely agree with Mr. King.
Stephen King@stephenking.bsky.social · 2mo agoSPIDER-NOIR: The New York Times calls it a washout, and adds DOA. It's much better than that. A lovingly created caricature of film noir that's mesmerizing in its carefully created look (Dutch angles aplenty) and snappy dialogue. It's heartfelt and fun, the last thing from DOA.
Happy Pride month friends! Shine bright and let your colors fly.
Starting to add sound FX and other important features to my video game.
