Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
This is a really genuinely useful and interesting thread that debunks an alleged example of Muslim intolerance in London. The truth? Several American far right Islamophobic preachers stood and hurled abuse at Muslims for days and days and experienced zero violence as a result.

coding assistance lets you fast-track important projects that improve your life, such as reformatting every single site you read into the old vbulletin 3.x default template
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly
This makes no sense…
An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…
No thanks
If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

To pick just one thing: here is the full list of benefits Britain earned by joining in and promoting America’s War on Terror:
- It made us complicit in war crimes
- Tony Blair got some photo ops with George Bush II
- Tony Blair got a standing ovation in Congress
That’s it. Hope you enjoyed it.
A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
Did you know you can sing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” whenever you feel like it? It’s literally a whim away.
Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?
I knew someone would have mentioned Ubik in this thread already!
Super interesting presentation on there about optical technology. Something we all rely on every day and take for granted.
Takes me back to the early days design wise! Ended up staying for the content, the YouTube presentation was so interesting. Really enjoyed it.
"We've got a lot of humans in the world, and we don't particularly like them," Compton said. Why would we want to create a technology that just gives us a whole bunch more humans?
One of my favorite lines about AI — not LLMs but human-like digital intelligence — was said to me almost a decade ago by @galaxykate.bsky.social for a piece I wrote for Vice. www.vice.com/en/article/w...
Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???
"I’m already wondering what’s in my inbox in case Claude Opus 4 turns on me for writing this devastating exposé. So why is AI still so useless at shopping?"

I had a go at this a few years ago for a music re-release, was a fun project. The materials part was super satisfying. (Also done in b3d) Still my favourite format!

Scapeshift is a generative groovebox that DOESN'T use AI.

Mahmood furious over asylum seeker taxi bills.
Overton window has been obliterated
The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.
There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

Talking to trans women in tech can help anyone who doubts that women experience the world differently; they can provide you with A/B before/after results.
Treat all women in tech better and believe them about their experiences:
A red London bus with a "TRON ARES" advert on
Has anyone done a convincing "TORN ARSE" photoshopping yet?
BBD: The Next Generation. And that'll power a whole lot of new music gear for you.
CDM stories are of course written by me without AI, as AI don't understand this s*** ;)
Progress on the detective game experiment made with @godotengine.org
Using custom post-process, a secondary camera for the magnifying glass which can reveal hidden clues and to be able to study objects seamlessly... It's been fairly smooth so far, I'm enjoying the Godot experience 😊
