It's striking the extent to which there's never any justification given for any of this beyond "it's too many people" or "it's actually fake" and no apparent planning behind any of it. It's the aesthetics of "move fast and break things" without any discernible direction or purpose. It's cosplay.

I think the hotfixes broke a lot of something inside civ vii cuz holy shit is stuff disappearing, or I’m being different legacy perks that don’t … give me what they said they would

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

What’s wild about civ vii is I can see the old world, gladious, aow, and humankind mechanics all wound up in it.

Civ vii - you should lose a number of your settlements between ages! Maybe legacy points should be used to get the perks or keep a settlement - or something. Idk. Maybe that’ll be a game mode like apocalypses in vi.

The fall of lead might have helped among the fall in violent crime. I think the rise of plastic in the brain probably has some effect on the present. Weird to be alive for a very brief window of time between the two.

one thing about the "where are the protests tho", coming from the "there are, you just haven't seen them" that i think doesn't get covered much is that there has been, over the decades, a shift in news intentionally not covering protests, movements. smothering with silence.

It’s cause most of these places is a glorified real-estate fund at this point and they basically hate that they have to do the actual education or research parts

it’s very fun to watch rightwingers make up insane bullshit and laugh at them for “believing” it but it’s a very intentional strategy to flood the online ecosystem with their narratives. they don’t believe all the shit they say but it serves their ends if everyone is talking about them all the time

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

There are critics of DEI who point to its historic use as a way to capture the rhetoric of social justice movements and mitigate the transformative potential of anti discrimination law, and then there are critics of DEI who think race and sex discrimination is good.

I definitely feel I'm Jokerfying. You look one way and you've got 4 different Beavis-Snokes deleting every third grandpa from social security and in the other it's an economy currently hinging on the success of the least profitable software product of all time that is also destroying the earth.

If I wrote more about video games it would be interesting to write about how civ 7 is taking a lot of the humankind ideas that kind of broke down some assumptions - but in a way that actually reinforces a lot of the Eurocentric teleology even harder than previous entries.

doing this series was always about building to the political implications, and I'm really happy with how we concluded. I sincerely think Winnicott is essential for cutting through so many mystifications and contortions of "hate" as both a term and an energy in contemporary life
