Time to distract myself from my collapsing industry and the sky full of smoke!
Our artform should not be a speculative asset.
trying really hard not to think about my rapidly dwindling job security
1.8 billion in interest alone is crazy.
EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

I woke up early for the FEFW direct and was NOT disappointed. Seteth? Guns? ELEPHANTS? Seems fun
airbnb I’m staying at unintentionally created the toughest punk album cover of 2027
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, but I don’t care if you’re good at karaoke, I care if you have CHUTZPAH
Making games is a business. But without people who genuinely love making games, there won’t be much of a business left. The industry doesn’t just need better numbers. It needs more passionate people in leadership, more new talent welcomed in, and more belief that games are art worth fighting for.
Okay the only downside to living in a city is the fact that smoking is bad for you. Because waiting for the bus in the cool twilight breeze is wonderful until the air becomes poison
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
I love living in a city. I love taking a bus to a different neighborhood and eating good, local food. I love not worrying about parking! I love drinking and NOT driving! This is the fucking LIFE
I’m rereading the Ancillary Justice trilogy (currently on Ancillary Mercy) for the first time in a decade and it not only meets, but BEATS my memories and expectations. What a gift @annleckie.com’s given us.
Okay main takeaways: 1. Somehow someway Will Hunting is an excellent Odysseus 2. I would pay money to watch Robert Pattinson eat cereal 3. Samantha Morton’s Circe scared the shit of me (laudatory) 4. Göransson’s score is spectacular and on 70MM IMAX hits like an earthquake 5. Great movie
Seeing the new Matt Damon flick tonight. I'll let you know if it's any good.
If you’re already having a bad day, Rilo Kiley’s “A Better Son/Daughter” is guaranteed to pile-drive you into the dust
As a lapsed Catholic, I’ve been curious for many, many years about what the inside of the enormous church down the street looks like. They have open visit days on specific Saturdays, and was thrilled one was coming up, until I saw…
ahhhh my darkholme coping mechanisms 😵💫(old sketches)
Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.
Emily Wilson's piece on Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY for the LRB went viral and was received very positively by many — but not by virtually every film critic I know. For @animusmagazine.bsky.social I wrote about why: animus-magazine.ghost.io/a-tale-as-ol...
A Tale as Old as Time
Emily Wilson’s piece on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey evinces an archaic perspective on cinema’s value as art

it's that horrible time of year again where I am once again driven to say: fuck SeaFair and fuck the Blue Angels. Jingoistic military propaganda sucks on a good day, but it super mega sucks when it's RIGHT ABOVE YOUR APARTMENT
sometimes finishing a pretty manicure is more important than sleep because it brings me more joy than sleep ever will. I may regret this tomorrow when I have to wake up early to meet contractors coming to my apartment
I’ve finally hit part 2 of Azure Moon — wholly new to me — so expect some Thoughts and Feelings
aw shit, here we go again…
it's been a while since I've really tried to finish one of these but I'm BACK, BABY
