I noticed something today that I forgot existed... a garage sale sign. Who knew it would lead to an existential crisis? csferrie.medium.com/saas-self-as...

This is incredible. This computer science professor makes his students play a game that simulates the risks and repercussions of getting Long COVID, and then he's like, hey anybody want a mask? And: "approximately 95 to 100% of students who’ve played the game now wear masks in his classroom."

Hey folks, can anyone recommend an NDIS Support Coordinator working in Victoria who you've been really pleased with? Searching on behalf of a client, looking for personal recommendations only, ideally from the client side rather than the coworker side but will take both.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin". www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

Please to put my name to this important - and entirely un-radical - message in the SMH & Age today. @timhollo.bsky.social and various other friends & relatives are there too. Notable that many many more Jewish people signed than could fit on this one page. #OzJewsSayNO #No2ethniccleansing

the first rule of player feedback is that players are not game designers. you are the fucking game designer. players don't know the first thing about game design nor do they know what they actually want until you do the work and give it to them. if we listened to players everything would be fortnite

Meticulously retweet every such clarification. No, not to change the minds of fascists and tankies. To focus the minds of the global lowercase d democratic supermajority: they will see it and it will work as an antitoxin to being affected by the same poisoned media environment that Trump lives in.

Dept of Social Services disclosed private legal letters with the Catholic Church which were then leaked to The Australian newspaper and used in concert to try and silence survivors of abuse by a senior Church member. Yeah, it's nuts. But they admitted it. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

This is also what makes writing and reading historical fiction so very rich. An AI story generator can't make a joke about fugio dollars.

"The sheep like the shade, plus the solar panels increase grass yield and protect sheep from predators," said Pearce. Meanwhile, Pearce revealed farmers and shepherds reap their own set of benefits, as "sheep eliminate the need for herbicides or costly grass cutting on the solar farms."

I think the thing is a lot of people think that fiction (and writing more generally,) is just stories? It's not. It's capable of existential change. You don't have to stop at "entertaining people" or "raising awarness", "making arguments", whatever. You can change the way that *everybody thinks...
