A tracking sheet to keep tabs on what records have been cut and by which Bowie has been added to the file section on BGG. Support of PNP games (much like published games) never really ends... boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25...

really wish more reporters were willing to say “do you realize how fucking stupid that sounds” in the moment to people like this
“it’s not really malice,” he went on to say. “it’s more that I’m just a dirtbag”

liberal pundits: I have smeared and attacked every DSA adjacent candidate on earth, but there's just something about this guy I like!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

the shortsightedness is incredible - how many generations do you think it will take before no one knows how to do any programming anymore, and thus no one knows how to spot and correct errors?
like, you’ve seen water, right? crashing on the shore and then receding?
I’m not bagging on people who are being required to use LLMs for their jobs or be shitcanned. you have to do what you have to do. but the people who think they’re riding a beautiful new wave - do you know what happens at the end of a wave?
