After discussions about poor behavior by DICE attendees last month, I thought I'd bring these out again at GDC dawns.
AND DUDES... PLEASE CALL OUT YOUR FELLOW DUDES IF YOU SEE BAD BEHAVIOR. Rock that boat!
Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.
If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.
Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.
It is harder to explain to young kids that you don’t think some people should be allowed to kiss or get married than it is to explain to young kids that everyone gets to choose who they kiss or marry.
Seeing ppl circulate projects whose NEH grants were canceled by DOGE reaffirms my argument about AI as a permission structure. Some grants were canceled w/o a “no” from the generated summary. DOGE had a mandate to slash humanities funding & AI gave them the veneer of a rationale for their actions.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
The irony is physically painful.
Make it so

Ms Kabas is worth spending your money to support, as I do mine.
Don't use generative AI then
By our count at @prospect.org they have killed at least 28 people since Trump's second term started.
bluesky's cowardly and complicit explore widget displays today's ICE murder news as "ICE issues"
"ICE issues" ?!!?????!
you mean like how they just murdered another american in cold blood?!
...moreover ICE must be abolished
Oh shit! That's fantastic, thanks for the good news!
AYOOOOO South of Midnight is coming to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 end of the month!
I recommend! Great game to play through in a couple weekends (~14 hours or so), replayable chapters, fun writing, beautiful art, and probably the coolest use of song + music I've experienced in a game... ever? 💕
Great watching your useless ass get ratioed btw, keep it up slugger
"I'm just asking questions!"
You're not even half as clever as you think you are
And now you're being disingenuous in addition to dull
Yawn
And he's not even the only Hennepin County deputy in the news this week for assaulting a woman
I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.
Sure, we're in a "smut renaissance," but maybe you've noticed we're also in a Christian Nationalist censorship regime that is trying to restrict the internet. (Might be worth mentioning!)
These aren't unrelated. As "hardcore" is demonized and erased, social acceptance of "softcore" rises.
Do the people who think chatbots are alive also worry that popcorn is angry at them because it's so loud?
Platforms are constantly trying to make you just upset enough so you either get into a fight or keep scrolling to find something to make you feel better, without making you so miserable you just leave. That's the business model.
If you don't like it: Stop using the platform.
If they've only just now "begun to question," maybe we should stop calling them experts. In anything.
Oh my god the only thing missing is jingling keys and him laughing and clapping like an infant
"It's a fair cop"
A Black man was convicted of murder despite no physical evidence. Even Gov. Kay Ivey thought the case was suspect enough to commute his death sentence. Turns out his court appointed attorney was a Klan member. Read @leehedgepeth.bsky.social for more. #Alabama
