Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

it's actually pretty easy for me to explain why I don't feel the need to extend rights I think humans have to things I don't think are human

A scary movie shrinks the world’s horrors down into, not manageable exactly, but bounded, feelable parcels. In a landscape dense with quiescent cultural products, horror is antianesthetic.

Just saw that the Streetlight version of Keasbey Nights came out 20 years ago today and I did not need that kind of psychic damage.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

Ready to supply ~100 cyclists w/seed bombs for our city's abandoned lots at tonight's @wednightrides.org!

They contain 6-7 species of native plant seeds to juice up the biodiversity of our city, incl.
Ironweed
Echinacea
Partidge Pea
Bee Balm
Blue Vervain
Blackeyed Susan
Swamp Milkweed (sometimes)

This is Aly. She just learned about capitalism. Certainly not a perfect system, but if that is what it takes to put chippies on the table, she understands. 13/10 (IG: alythebichon)

Today is Sex Worker's Rights Day. Sex worker rights are human rights not just because we're humans just like you, but also any rights taken from us will be taken from you too.

Surveillance, police violence, debanking, censorship, we faced all of those for years before it turned on everyone else.

β€œCorrect me if I’m wrong” what kind of friend do you think I am. I will embrace you if you are wrong, I will support you if you are wrong. I will be wrong with you. We will be completely wrong, together

You Should Probably Leave Substack You should probably leave Substack. Here’s why and how.

So many people I like, respect, and want to read are *still* on substack.

I understand it was the best option in the past. I know migrating a website is a pain.

And yet.

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting
