Hi!
I'm Kim Steiner, and I'm a Cat Shaped designer! I have a focus in Level Design, but due to the Industry being what it is and a HEAVY dose of ADHD, I am very much a generalist.
I've been in the Industry for almost 18 years, and I've gotten to work on a ton of cool games with super cool people.

Funny, this has had 15 people block me (I don't think any were following me) and 10 new people follow me.
So... huge wins all around.

I will reiterate that I've never had cause to regret abandoning the former Twitter more than two years ago now, and have suffered neither personally nor professionally for doing so. Since I left it's become more toxic and, yes, evil. The people who are still there should really consider moving on.
I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

Hahaha the first comment was "I'm sure Harriet could tell us, but I'm not sure that's a mystery I need solving."

Please excuse a moment of levity.
On the WoT subreddit someone asked "Why is Robert Jordan so obsessed with spanking?"
Me: I uh... someone else tell them.

I still don't think it's fair to tell people they're overreacting when he says that's what he's going to do.
There's this pattern of <says something completely insane> then <no one thinks it could happen for many legal reasons> but then <it somehow happens anyway?!?>
This is a repeated pattern.

Also it's real fucking annoying that we screamed about this, they lied and said it wasn't actually theirs and yet.
They literally told everyone exactly what they were going to do. They're doing it.

I agree in theory. People say "we're going to have elections in 2026 and 2028."
That said.
Roe was settled law. Dozens of people told me I was being "dramatic".
And here we are.
I don't think it's fair to scold people for believing Shitler when he says he wants to cancel elections.

at this point if you vote for a GOP nominee you are our enemy. I'm sorry, that's where we are.
There is absolutely no reason for Dems to vote for GOP nominees, to facilitate the smooth operation of Congress, nor to withhold impeachment of the President and his appointees. Do it all.
Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Actually I do know. I grew up in an Evangelical Church that made a big show of "following Jesus" while doing nothing about all the other kids relentlessly bullying me.
There were a handful of truly good people. And a bunch of people who are probably Maga now.
I left because of the hypocrisy.

We almost certainly spoke dozens of times after that. But that was the day I stopped liking him. This paragon of nobility and justice and respect... didn't respect the truth or me.
Then he died. Still angry about Obama.
How I got out of TN without being a bigot, I'll never know.

Then in like 2008 we got into a fight because he kept insisting Obama was Muslim and as it turns out responding with "There's no law that says the president can't be Muslim, even if he were. Which he isn't. He went to a church in Washington last week!" Was not the "respectful" thing to say.

I was about to say I wasn't sure if he meant it. But he was the honest type and several times he would say things like "It's good you're smart."
Huh. He probably did mean it then.
Anyway. I think he was part of the reason I loved history so much.

Parts of it were very accurate. Some were events from a later point in the war, but still accurate. Some were reported and recorded, but had no verifiable proof.
Anyway, I remember printing it out and taking it over to him to read.
He said it was good. And we watched the movie together again.

I used to watch it with my grandfather. I thought it was very odd that a man who served two tours in Vietnam and two tours in Korea would LOVE watching a movie about D-Day over and over again.
Later in high school I actually did a research paper about how accurate the movie was.
