Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

so my challenge to buckaroo readers who share constant news about dying creative industries, who repost stories about AI harming the arts, who lament the loss of genuine human creativity, JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO ACTUALLY PREORDER SOMETHING FROM A HUMAN ARTIST THAT YOU LIKE

readers often ask 'whats the best way to support an author?' and while there are MANY ways to do this, the most powerful is clear: PREORDER THE AUTHORS BOOK. i will go into why, but first please consider taking the briefest moment to preorder FABULOUS BODIES: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Alright, I have a few hours left but I think I'm too sleepy to make any more progress so we're calling this game jam a wrap! I've uploaded my last build to itch.io and unless there's a serious bug I won't do any updates while evaluation is going on. #7drl

I'll probably blog a postmortem tomorrow about my experience in my first real participation in a game jam. (spoiler: it was pretty fun)

I was a little leery of that! I don't hate the sokoban parts as much as some, but I am trying to go for more puzzles in smaller individual doses, as it were

Experimenting with some of the typing challenges in rogue type having the excerpt you need to type being reversed.

Typing a reversed phrase is SO HARD

I'd apologize for all the game dev spam but all of you are either real life friends obligated to put up with me, or other game dev folks...

in that sense, hyperloop DID succeed in that it got Los Vegas and other municipalities to pass on light rail systems. Same hat with the boring company

Hadn't Musk already said he never had any intention of turning this into a thing? He just wanted to derail efforts to improve public transit in various cities.

The real story is should be about how long media repeated his bullshit uncritically...

Got the colour tile puzzle for rogue type working! (The state is generated by starting with a goal state and working several moves backwards) #7drl

I have created the itch page for rogue type!

I don't think it's a fun game yet and I'll be working on it through tomorrow, but the page at least proves that I typed a lot of code this week...

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

I agree with a lot of this, worth reading:
