🧵This Molyneux quote has filled me with existential dread ever since I read it. It reminds me of one of my favorite collaborative moments working with @threeohfour.bsky.social. We were about 1/3 through Unavowed production. I asked him if he could animate some kind of idle animation for Eli.

Ah, yes, it is that time to remind folks that NaNoWriMo sold out to predatory vanity press in 2022, and then to AI in 2024, and then collapsed in 2025, and has since risen like a sketchy phoenix looking to steal aspiring authors' work.

So, wait, has NaNoWriMo rebranded as "Novel November", paid for by ProWritingAid, which used to be a spell/grammar checker but now is (you guessed it) an "'AI' grammar checker"--in short, yet another way for a griftslop machine to grab human-written text? Do I have that right?

happy 4th birthday signalis! 🥳🎉 a game that truly altered my brain's chemistry and that i keep thinking about, as well as giving me superb new friendships to treasure; don't got anything new to offer, but i do got some old fics for your reading pleasure here: archiveofourown.org/users/Reveng...

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

It sounds like Brazil was won not just through overwhelming voter turnout, but by skillful, coordinated algorithmic guerrilla warfare. It shouldn't be this hard, but democracy can be saved from the broligarchs.

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them

If you still have the Epic Games Launcher on your system, don't update it and get it the fuck off of your computer. There's no telling what damage it can do or what vibecoded landmines are waiting in it.

You ever think, what I want isn't to be a successful author. That would be cool, but no. What I want is a UBI that lets me write full-time. I'd be unstoppable.

it pains me how almost every layoff with a name placed to it that i've encountered is in a "non-technical" field - artists, composers, content designers, and most of all writers/narrative designers. not only is the bleeding bad, but it's super lopsided and confirms the biases in mgmt we already knew
