trillion dollar industry that will revolutionize everything

Elon Musk and “ghost employees”

If you know any millennials who are having a baby, I offer the perfect gift. robsheridan.threadless.com/collections/... #bsnm

i conceptualized and co-wrote Fledgling Manor, which features: 🦇 vampires 🦇 2000s reality show vibes 🦇 M, F, and NB romance options 🦇 class struggle 🦇 a Christian vampire who wants to turn vampire society into some kind of megachurch shopping mall store.steampowered.com/app/3238510/...

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal much quicker by converting a quarter of its 500,000 on-street parking spaces. The paving-to-planting conversion would convey many benefits, cooling neighborhoods and absorbing runoff. Op-ed: www.theurbanist.org/2025/02/22/o...

In 2023, we started a project of putting NCAA football team logos over state outlines, because we noticed that Texas teams do this all the time. We took a break during the season, but we're starting back up again. Next up, Nebraska.

Whisker Squadron: Survivor is now released out of early access on Steam, and available on PS5. So proud of what we did with this game and I hope you all enjoy it if you play! This 1.0 update includes voice acted characters, a new endgame, and a TON of quality of life improvements.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Noticing a distinct uptick in the number of people talking about The Pitt after last night's episode, which is a testament to both the show itself and a stellar (and very heavy) episode.

young posters, the use of language changed before you were born, so in case you didn't know this: the reason things like Social Security and Medicare are called "entitlements" isn't (derogatory) it's because access is *guaranteed* in exchange for your advance payments into the program

announcing my new new game: Castle v Castle!!! a strategic 1v1 castle battler that has you build up your castle and reduce your opponent to rubble, brick by brick! DEMO OUT NOW!!! with funding from Slay the Spire dev @caseyyano.bsky.social via Outersloth (Among Us) and Future Friend support!

E is forward, W is interact.

*stares in historian*

I will never stop thinking about this Gabe Newell quote

It's funny, I was initially hesitant of Alexander Skarsgård's casting, as I'd pictured a much more androgynous character. But, in re-reading the series via audio book last year with lovely narration by @kevinrfree.bsky.social and now seeing this, I'm sold! (I mean, I was sold anyway, bc Murderbot)

A dream start to 2025! 👊

hey guys feel free to use this screenshot wherever you see fit in the future

Last year, I reported that Bungie had fired former exec Chris Barrett for misconduct. Barrett then sued for wrongful termination, which surprised me given that I'd seen his texts to subordinates and figured Bungie could publish them in response. Which they now have. www.scribd.com/document/830...

Look, I know it's by far the least problematic thing happening here, but I'm just imagining what he thinks the wild celebrations happening in Albany and Binghamton right now are like

"I want to make video games!! I have no ideas for video games at all and will need a robot to spit them out for me, but wow I just really want to make video games, literally any games at all!"

"preservation" through AI is, at best, a re-animated corpse. It is an unintelligent algorithm that will invent whatever it needs to to fill the gaps to deliver a result.

Next Tuesday we are launching something fun to celebrate this wild journey that has been Citizen Sleeper 💛

My cover variant for the new Shaxs comic coming out from IDW. ❤️💙💛

Saw a Reddit post last night from someone who had left a pot of soup out overnight, wondered if it'd be okay to eat it anyway, and asked ChatGPT. Don't do this!!

"For what are bodies? Where do they end and where do they begin? And why must they be constant? Why must they be strong?"

in awe of how intentional and, perhaps more importantly, human avowed's world design feels. this lighthouse is a perfect early example

"One FAA employee who was fired over the weekend suggested he was targeted for his views on Tesla and X..'The official DOGE Facebook page started harassing me on my personal Facebook account..Less than a week later I was fired, despite my position allegedly being exempted due to national security.'"

Exactly. My guess based on having flown through YYZ a bunch of times: ice on the runway and a crosswind caught a wing.

In two weeks, JD Vance has basically been called out by both Auschwitz AND the Pope on two entirely different topics. That’s kind of impressive, NGL.

We had calling in mechs from space and real-time base building before it was cool. And the mech transformed into a jet.
