Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

It's so weird to me that all the queer and feminist artists who were so formative to young-me are artists that my very conservative parents introduced me to and now they wonder why I am the way I am. I LEARNED IT FROM YOU, DAD. (And thank you for that.)

The first edition to this was one of the most eye-opening books I've ever read. Even as a CS/math grad, it was easy for me to overlook how rigged the games are.

I didn't know there was a new edition but yeah, with sports betting blowing up, it seems like it might be useful to read up on that.
The new preface to this great and depressing scholarly book gets into the explosion of sports betting and “prediction markets” since 2012’s 1st edition, plus well-meaning games-for-change types trying to harness dark patterns for good. Everyone within 30 feet of gamedev should read it.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that my two longest relationships were with women named Kim and Kimberly and they were both redheads and they both had strong, dominant personalities.

Oops I almost doom spiral-ed on Christmas. I've got an hour left. Let's pull up. Things can be good. Kittens. Friends. Burritos. Redheads with big naturals.

Jesus. This shit makes me feel ashamed to be a Christian and a U.S. citizen. Our embarrassment of a leader, who knows nothing about Christianity, writes about murdering people a world away like it'll score points with his followers. And the saddest part is, it probably will.
Trump on Christmas: “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria.”

Oh gosh I really need to start watching AEW again. Mike Bailey and Okada?? Are you kidding me??

My kid played George Banks in his school's production of Mary Poppins, and gosh I'm so proud. He can sing, he can do an English accent, and he looks damn good in a suit.

I don't talk about booze much these days because of (gestures at 2022) all that stuff. But this is very good.

Patrick + Jacob, that's an instant watch.

Eyes Wide Shut: 2/5
Surprisingly deep on plot but very softcore, no penetration.

For my fellow Americans who don't know, Boxing Day is the day after Christmas when you take all those political disagreements from Christmas dinner into the boxing ring and settle them like men. 🥊🥊

Imagine if we had a society where billionaires paid taxes and we funded health services from that, instead of this self-aggrandizing performative bullshit. Merry Christmas!
Mr Cuban,

I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

Me, before my two-week vacation: I'M GOING TO GET SO MUCH WORK DONE ON MY SIDE PROJECT

Me, a few days into my two-week vacation: I STAYED IN BED UNTIL 1 PM AND THEN WATCHED YOUTUBE ALL DAY

It's been a good Christmas week for ol' David. I talked with my son and his mom, caught up with an old flame, and had a video call with one of my longest internet friends (for the first time ever). Now my social energy is depleted and oh no wait I still have Boxing Day plans.

I have no memory of writing this thread but I stand by all of it, especially:
12. Paddington 2

It's my favorite Wes Anderson film.

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience:
- follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them
- interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers)
- post the kinds of things you want to see more of!
