idk i think the total destruction of the us economy would be pretty funny if i didn't live here and the country wasn't full of people i care about

I'm surprised I haven't seen this gif shared more often.

For years, my org @fightforthefuture.org has begged mainstream LGBTQ orgs to take surveillance seriously as an issue impacting queer and trans folks. Yes, everyone needs to take steps to protect themselves, but we also need the lobbying powerhouses that are supposed to represent us to come correct

When Orwell wrote about pacifism being inherently pro-fascist, whether its adherents intend or not, he was talking about stuff like people framing letting Putin conquer Ukraine without resistance as "peace."

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

of course it’s the french who raise the bar

It says a lot about the current state of the animation industry that major studios are once again measuring all their animated projects by the impossible standard of “can we make a billion dollars off this?” when all the films that did lost the Oscar to a $3mil Latvian indie

I hope others are leaving X, Meta, and Amazon, too. They are no longer beneficial to small businesses and artists, they're actively working against us at this point. JMO.

As an occasional writer about superhero things who used to complain that "supervillain runs for office and wins" storylines are stupid because everyone knows Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin and they've seen him murder people on TV, I've had to reexamine many of my priors

I’m sure it’ll work out great this time!

Bluesky has now replaced twitter as the top platform for finding out if there was an earthquake in LA

After a bit of a pause I’m back on my Yakuza games journey. So dang excited to finally finish 4, and now onto Yakuza 5. I love these games so much!! Also goddamn do they make me miss Japan so much 😭

ooohooh... Berserk has still got the sauce

here's a free idea for game devs when you promote your trailers; feature names. treat it like a band poster. "we've got levels by Y dev, we've got music by Z Composer!!!" treat them like they're stars. It uplifts early careers & centers PEOPLE not product. people are more valuable than IP.

What up bluesky it’s time to have ideas and follow through on none of them

this is exactly what happened when they "banned porn" on tumblr, anything even vaguely looking like adult content or sex work got flagged and purged, but also vast swathes of queer community, years of art and resources and theory and discussion just got wiped away

ugh I really need to let go of my perfectionism. I hate it when I look at my art and can only see the mistakes. I wish could focus on the things I did right and not hyperfocus on things I did wrong. Cause no matter how much I improve, there will always be some mistakes. 🥹

Examining an unreleased Genesis game that rolled into the shop yesterday trying to figure out who made it, and the credits include: - the then-owner of the Detroit Pistons - a horse lawyer - pseudonyms including an actual Alan Smithee - a company tied to a penny stock bribe scheme with the mafia

Consumers are being sold an illusion of ownership. "Buy" a digital movie, an e-book, or a game today? Tomorrow, it could vanish. 🕳️ Senator @wyden.senate.gov is calling on the FTC to crack down on this digital "bait-and-switch." ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/02/28/w... What's at stake? 🧵

I believe that generative AI may be the biggest dunce mask-off moment ever. These things do not make sense! How does using AI for coding lead to AGI? How does *generative AI* lead to AGI? Hell why don't we start simple: what is AGI in this context?

feeling compelled to share this once again

if you're too young to remember skype, it was like discord, everybody used it and then microsoft bought it and ruined everything about it almost immediately and then everyone stopped using it bsky.app/profile/popb...

Saturday is caturday.

I'm tired of seeing talented musicians using generated artwork for album covers & music videos or writers using it for their book covers. Generative tools harm the creative ecosystem as a whole. Do not normalize the devaluing of anothers field while expecting the world to respect & value your own.

Creatively, trust the weirdos The ones willing to make art that makes you confused, that is uncomfortable, that reaches The ones who aren’t thinking about trends but about what communicates what they are envisioning Even if you don’t like their work trust it. Respect it

People need to realize that the Project 2025 freaks' goal is to destroy the world to help bring about the second coming. Any enrichment that happens to them along the way is a deserved reward from God for helping it happen. You can't fight this with the rules as we have known them.

we do not have the luxury to doom only to fight for the generations ahead of us

it’s going to suck that we’re going to have terrible regulatory control over fake medicine at a time when real medicine is making new miracles every day

We miraculously pulled off the "soft landing" from COVID in a way no other developed countries were able to do And promptly created a preventable recession Bravo
