I do not like “Angel Studios” creeping more and more into the realm of pseudo-disney esque animated movies and getting more competent at it. Tis not a good sign of things to come, m’lud.

The thing that's never sat with me re:criticism about Expedition 33 being "baby's first JRPG" is that the people who actually made the game couldn't be more consistently reverent about their influences.
Accepting the 'Game of the Year' award for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, director Guillaume Broche thanks Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi who "made me fall in love with games and inspired me to become a game dev."

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted "present" on motion to table articles of impeachment on Trump. I think he should resign. "The right time" to impeach is just political speak for "I don't want to do my job" at this point.

Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.
Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.
It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this.
It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!

I think I can see folks doing this more for exasperation, it's similar to just genuinely throwing your hands up for it anyway.

I stand by what I said. It's always worth noting the very different available opportunities and standards applied to non-white journalists, especially this year.
New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.
