Current mood until further notice.

Imagine if your unpaid internship was overthrowing the government? It is the most tech culture thing imaginable for these clown car fascists to not even be PAYING their foot soldiers.

The scene that's been playing in my head on a loop this past week...

You don't have to like a game, you don't have to agree with the decisions, but when someone says a dev was "lazy" I immediately tune out. If the game was released, no one was lazy.

i have said again and again that all moral panics about "degenerate" minorities corrupting our children spring from our simultaneous knowledge that the nuclear family is a sexual and physical hunting ground and our refusal to do anything about that or even admit it to ourselves out loud.

suck it, AI dorks

Imagine a world where we allow corporations to think and make all our decisions for us, and then let that thinking mutate beyond anyone's control or understanding.

Mask off, folks. This anti-DEI shit claims to be against "unfair" advantage, while showing "unfair" in their minds means "marginalized people existing at all".

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

Seeing writers and artists I admire being critical of their own work is basically the only thing that makes me feel like I can do it too.

I'm realizing that some people might actually find generative A.I. useful because the work they are using it for was *already* about synthesizing meaningless bullshit in vaguely recognizable patterns.

conservative christians: you liberals just live in an echo chamber on bluesky me: umm i spent the first 19 years of my life literally not knowing there were christians who didn’t hate gay people…

My 8-year-old keeps confusing "Castlevania" with "Pennsylvania" and I find this endlessly hilarious.
