Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

far be it from me to tell guys considerably more wealthy and successful than I how to conduct themselves. still, before I tried it with Kendrick Lamar, I would probably ask the last guy who tried it Kendrick Lamar how that turned out for him

The new @mobleywho.bsky.social LP dropped today and it's amazing. This is probably his most ambitious album to date and it doesn't disappoint. Favorite track (currently): No Exit mobley.bandcamp.com/album/we-do-...

And this is why local action, protests, and disruption are so important. Get it on the evening news. Even if it's initially just a traffic report warning people to route around the Tesla dealership today. It increases visibility. It helps.

I wrote something about how we're seeing the rise of the online "alpha male." This is someone who speaks in clipped imperatives, squeezes into tight suits, and performs for our feed. They present a vision of masculinity shaped by politics, tech, and 100 years of cultural history 🧵

With Andor Season 2 dropping tomorrow, it's worth recalling that Season 1 contained the best bit of writing ever in Star Wars.

imagine your legacy being 'i was lonely so i created an AI work family and immediately sexually harassed my AI subordinate' congratulations AI devs we have achieved new frontiers in awfulness

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

This is a sublime teaching moment. -Theory -Praxis The whole package in three posts. Rebecca Solnit approves.

Heartening follow up to a disturbing event in February …. the fake cops who forcibly removed a woman from a public meeting are facing serious charges including impersonating law enforcement. More of this please.

This is the way

let’s look back at what has happened so far Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that just a general note to Dems

Washington Square Park, NYC

I just remembered that we get the new @mobleywho.bsky.social album next week. Check him out if you're not already a fan. mobley.bandcamp.com/album/we-do-...

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

If you live in a military town you could do worse in terms of activism than retyping that tweet to be nice and readable and then printing it off in sizes ranging from 1/8th page to full sheet and leaving them absolutely everywhere in town

The Road to Summerfall - Part 2 I guess the best place to start is with leaving BioWare. Right off the bat, I'll say I enjoyed working there - a lot. Until I didn't. I started in 1999 with BG2 and ended in 2016, 2 years after shipping DAI and after spending a year on the game which became Anthem.

This is what drives me crazy about the "In two/four years ..." crowd and even the "3.5%ers". Everyone is so fond of saying "if we had paid attention to history, this could have been avoided" well, history has a thing or two to say about how to end it and every day we don't, it gets harder.

There's no way to low key add tumeric to something. The smallest dash and whatever it's in turns neon orange.

RFK is a murderer and a terrorist

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

It’s telling that it’s *always* about making someone else do the hard labor, and never volunteering for it yourself.
