In retrospect it’s pretty fucking terrible for my mental health that the sun starts setting at 4 pm every year right when the baseball season ends.

This is a real image of a real thing that exists in the universe! And because a bunch of humans decided to get together and build a space telescope, we get to see it! 🤯
Very excited to share the NASA/ESA/STScI press release of our team's work on Apep! It's a terrific writeup, complete with a brand new beautiful visualisation of the nebula geometry.

If Olivia Nuzzi fell in love with a baker: "He kneaded. He needed to knead, and I needed to watch him knead, and need me, and knead me, the way he needed (and kneaded) the other things in his life. Also, he had a Ceti Eel in his ear, like Chekov in Star Trek II."

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

If I had a nickel for how many times I’ve done art that somehow sees into the future like this I’d have two nickels but it’s kind of weird.

MUCH needed follow up to something I re-skeeted a month ago. Check it out! (And subscribe to Cook’s illustrated, for goodness sake. They are definitely a magazine which deserves to exist.)
Folks, I did it. I made the Cooks Illustrated competing pear crisps, and then I made my friends judge them blind.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Every word of this thread. Every single word.
there is actually a story in this revolting Nuzzi piece if you sandblast away the lies about a hot young woman being "in love" with a guy old enough to be her grandfather who looks like a catcher's mitt and sounds like an evil muppet

Every word of this thread. Every single word.
In a country with ostensible civilian control of the military, I would sure love to see some military leaders hauled before Congress to explain the decision to use a Blackhawk helicopter in this operation. Because other than “to terrorize, American citizens,” what possible reason could there be?
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

It was 40 years ago today (Nov 11, 1985) that Ralph Winter called from Los Angeles and left a message on the phone in my apartment in Honolulu, asking me if I'd like to work on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In doing so, he changed my life. Thanks, Ralph!
