When I look up at Mars, shining brightly in the night sky, I find myself filled with hope that one day I will be able to point and say "See? That's where all the billionaires died."
I eagerly await the day when Canada ends its agreements with the US over applying laws across the border so I can say what I really think.

this is an amazingly good read so if you haven't done it, you should. at two bucks it's a steal.
HENCH, my first book, is on sale right now on both Amazon and Kobo for only $1.99!

The sequel, VILLAIN, is coming out in May -- so if you enjoy supervillains, body horror and questionable morals, this is a great time to begin the series.

we've entrusted our entire digital lives to hostile corporations and the only way out of that requires people to actively choose to not be part of the problem, and yet we have people who still refuse to leave twitter.

The idea that picking up a pizza at a counter was in need of this kind of iterative technological innovation is helping me understand the Year Zero mindset.

Hold us accountable, they said
We want to do better
We need you
To help us

And yet

The moment your tongue
Held anything but honey
And praise

How 'difficult' you became
How harsh.

You should be nicer
As they led you
To slaughter

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

It's 2026. If you still host your #newsletter on #SUBSTACK, please get fucked:

Because YOU ARE AN ENABLER. At this point, you're either complicit or plain lazy, neither of which is an excuse. You make a choice every damn day.

I don't care how good your game is if the text size is too small or I can't adjust it I uninstall and refund. Text size is an accessibility consideration, and as my eyes succumb to age and I lose my ability to read close text, a *ton* of games have become unplayable for me.
Kids, if you're making a game and want to run it on a steamdeck or switch

your text size needs to be bigger

no, bigger

c'mon coward, bigger!

what is this, A GAME FOR ANTS? BIGGER
