I can only charge my phone with a wireless charger because the charging port broke. So I'm a huge wireless-charger-head.

HEY πŸ‘‡

so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2.

tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games.

it's gonna be fun.
we hope you tune in.

In Super Mario Sunshine, whenever Mario is wet, he will drip small droplets of water. This is not cosmetic; in fact, Wet Mario is so powerful he can defeat the game's first boss entirely by dripping on it, skipping obtaining FLUDD altogether.

@tylerglaiel.com loving Mewgenics like everyone else. I'm wondering if you plan to write any blog posts about any systems in the game?

But reading /r/programming or other places on the internet that seem to have shifted to glazing "vibecoding" just makes me very sad. I'm not even scared for my job. I just thought we all *liked* doing this?

Sure, use "AI" as a tool or something to speed up your workflow. I don't do it because of the way I like to think when programming, but I kind of see the reasoning. Maybe one day I'll be forced to use Claude or something?

But why would I ever want to do a job where the "AI" does everything? Why?

I get frustrated with industry colleagues that think one day "AI" is going to be doing *everything* from programming, to doing all art, all music.

I find the people who imagine this future are often the people who create the least amount of art themselves?

Why automate the best parts of life?

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

In other news, I inserted my likeness into a Simpsons insert for my upcoming post mortem. Took me about 5 hours in total from sketch to 9 frames of animation to final composite. Every animated show is a miracle! πŸ₯² #noAi

They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to β€œsave America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

I've paid for nitro for 5 years for some reason but had to cancel it due to @discord.com's bullshit face scanning age verification news. I will leave the platform if it isn't rolled back.

9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra from Colombia was detained on her way to Disney World. She told me when I met her that what was supposed to be a 10-day dream vacation to the park’s Halloween celebration turned into a 100+ day nightmare at Dilley. 6/

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

If you really haven't made the fundraising goal, I take it all back. But something tells me you've made the 100k and are being wishy washy about it.

Maybe this isn't you, maybe it is your team. But you are their leader! Please!

To me, this is offensive to grassroots candidates like @tonymcquailndp.bsky.social and @votetanille.bsky.social who have been extremely transparent about their fundraising status and where donations will go.

This reads like the same old manipulative fundraising emails I expect from the NDP brass.

@rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social These emails are manipulative. Be up front about how much money you have raised. Be up front about where my donations will go.

Have you really not made the 100k? Or are you raising more for something else?

You were my #1 or #2. Now I don't know.

@ndp.ca I saw in @rachelgilmore.bsky.social's latest video that the voting number results of the leadership election may not be released to the public. Is this true? If so I think that is highly inappropriate and a disservice to every NDP member who voted in the campaign.

Please say it ain't so.

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time.

This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.
