he’s so mad we clocked his fake gamer tea

Cyberstuck

Really sad about the TikTok ban. Hope my millions of followers find me here!

Normally people would be suspicious about things like this but with a cybertruck everyone is just like “yeah they do that sometimes”

Last night it smelled like peanuts outside, and today Jimmy Carter died. 🤔

Some folks will rightfully be a bit skeptical of an Islamist group's commitment to a secular state, but it's worth remembering the tradition of secular liberalism in the West was kinda forged in the furnace of religious civil wars that eventually made everyone say eff it we can't do this anymore

Hiked a mountain today! (Mt. Baldy)

Up until today I never made the connection that the word "petrified" in petrified forest meant that it had turned to stone — like it was so scared it was unable to move. You know petrified. When referring to forests/trees I never thought of the word beyond it just meaning old/fossilized.

Maybe it's because I'm currently out of work because of it, but reading that the project I worked on (Concord) is being called one of the most significant events in the games industry this year feels pretty bad! (even if it's true) Wouldn't recommend this feeling!

Looking forward to DJs sampling that one bit of dialogue from this movie. boxd.it/8bsGFT

The Brutalist was very special, and part of that was the intermission. My bladder was quite grateful.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

When we first harness the ability to make entire solar systems, we're gonna do this dumb shit aren't we? It'll be the 25th century equivalent of drone shows

Make it stop

Concord’s Secret Level episode is out and offers another glimpse at how special of a universe we were building. To those who saw us, and gave us a shot, thanks again, one last time. ❤️❤️❤️

What's an expression like 'canary in the coal mine', but thousands of canaries are already dead and so you shouldn't be shocked, but you thought for sure THIS canary wouldn't die because that would be fucking crazy right?

choosing to mute someone annoying instead of being brutally honest about where they can shove it is the challenge of the internet.

Closest I'll probably get to seeing Daft Punk live

Went to a Guy Fieri look-a-like contest in Hollywood at a Y2K themed bar (yes these exist now)

Films I'm seeing in an actual movie theater this week: 1. Interstella 5555 2. Interstellar

It could be the video games he played ten years ago OR it could be the horrific spinal injury he recently suffered that sent him spiraling into physical and mental health crises that resulted in him targeting and assassinating a health insurance company CEO. I guess we’ll never know!

AI is going to change the world

One of the privileges of living in LA is being able to show up to a movie and someone who worked on it does a Q&A. Went to an Armageddon screening at the Academy Museum that had a Q&A with songwriter of the film Diane Warren. She played all of her hits!

Finally my pet issue is being taken up by the House gluesenkampperez.house.gov/posts/gluese... Creates a committee to look into fixes to our current winner-take-all electoral system such as: • multi-member districts with proportional representation • expanding the House • independent redist

Lotus design by Arne Clausen for Cathrineholm, Norway 1950s

just repeating the phrase "hawk tuah girl meme coin" over and over until my brain is as smooth as a polished stone

I'd like to thank @dalia.bsky.social for contributing to my incredible Apple Replay this year

Game designers work to “find the fun.” This means meticulously refining mechanics until they create a satisfying gameplay loop, or adding a dinosaur you can ride like a horse which is always automatically fun

Remember Kony 2012?

I paid $27 to enter the Los Angeles Christmas Market — the Fyre Festival of Christmas Markets
