BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

There's always time for fun...It's Friday night.

Squeakross: Home Squeak Home – Review The best Picross game I've ever played.

You’re welcome.

I went and checked out a mostly empty strip mall yesterday. There was some interesting stuff inside a lot of the empty stores. Half of this strip mall will be demolished soon to make way for apartments with some shops and restaurants.

this is my new favourite video on the internet btw

There's a lot of big news today/this week, but Apple just dropped a nuke of a paper about LLMs & LRMs, specially around "high-complexity tasks where both models experience complete collapse." This is the biggest sign yet that if AI ever lives up the hype, it won't be via those approaches:

Possibly the best thing I've read about ChatGPT yet. h/t @melaniemitchell.bsky.social amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

Imagine outsourcing all your thinking to a guy who still only has two Pokémon badges after 80 hours of gameplay.

Following the cancellation of the Black Panther project, I'm looking for short-term and long-term opportunities in game design, narrative systems design, and creative direction. LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/sophiemal... CV: flowcv.com/resume/s711e...

EA shut down a studio to "focus" and I have to say, I don't know what these corporations want their teams focused on but I can tell you "continuous dread and anxiety for exactly this scenario" is what most a lot of teams are focused on nowadays www.ign.com/articles/ea-...

Hey folks, I've added Look Outside to my Steam Curator page with the most enthusiastic recommendation I can possibly give, this is currently vying with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as my game of the year so far, it's an incredible survival horror RPG. Play it!👍 store.steampowered.com/app/3373660/...

Might be a hot take but I don't think ray tracing is always worth it.

Were you to become the kind of person so jaded by the slithering of AI into all industry-level works, you need only remember that despite rights holders best efforts, most of their back catalogues before all this horseshit started are still readily available to be enjoyed, officially or otherwise.

Adding one more app and storefront exclusive to one platform to buy games does not sound like a great plan to attract players. That said, if the outcome of this is an AppleTV level commitment to fund studios even at a loss, this could be a shot in the arm the industry sorely needs.

It is 2010. I am reading in the newspaper that apple claims it is taking games seriously. It is 2018. I am watching a video where apple claims it is taking games seriously. It is 2025. I am reading an article that says apple is planning on taking games seriously.

*throwing dirt around* dirt is here to stay *throws more dirt* it's here to stay. I'm out of dirt. Can anyone give me money for more dirt? It's here to stay. If I can't get more dirt I won't be able to throw dirt around and it's here to stay

I stand by this.

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

i bet exploding and smelling like seafood feels so good for an electrolytic capacitor

If anyone has any leads on UI roles, I’m all ears ❤️

puking in a del taco bathroom all by yourself, handsome?

they are trying to outlaw being transgender in this country and this is just the first step. they were never going to stop at sports. they weren’t going to stop at bathrooms. they want a trans genocide. it is so important to spread awareness of this

belief is very infectious at some level. and it feels very much like biggest barrier right now to positive progress is people not believing in anything better. i don't want to be one of those "The Secret" people, but there's no good reason grindset capitalists should have ownership over those ideas.

this is like worse case scenario for me and many other trans people on medicaid. i will likely not be able to access life saving care if this goes through. can't state it any more - they're trying to eliminate us from existing. please call your reps now

Roblox is a bad ecosystem obviously but this is indicative of larger issues of our era. i was quite invested in Mario Maker for a time and now the levels (including my own) don't exist for the first one anymore and yet we can still easily play Doom fan levels from 1995.

VEO3 Prompt: “a man doing stand up comedy in a small venue tells a joke (include the joke in the dialogue)” The video and audio are generated together.

This is exactly what I mean when I say that it is impossible to reduce friction, only to move it around. The text-making-up machine dropped the friction of "research" to zero, but every single person downstream of that "research" who has to act upon it now shoulders a double workload.

Nasty in-app cursors and an “About” tab with the authors’ name as a gif from flamingtext.com kinda rules compared to half the screen failing to load the box art for the rom hack you’re playing. The scenery changed on the road to digital hell.

I'm working on a Jam game where you play as a Triops. Here is a little sneak peak. #godotengine #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #lowpoly #n64 #procreate #triops

Got followed for about 2 blocks. They were saying something but my headphones were on. I finally pulled out my phone to record and as soon as i did the cop driving the car blew me a kiss and drove off. Only to drive past me 6 more times on my walk. Fuck cops. Fuck cpd. Fuck these pieces of shit.
