Have I shared my opinion on DST? That massively stupid policy has been law since 1918, and I never "got used to it".
Also, "AI" is a buzzword so companies can tell a plausible lie to investors to keep their stock price high. ML, LLM, NLP, CV, BNN, GAN... terms of art. "AI"? Snake Oil for rubes.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Having seen some of my favourite games journalists leave the industry because of work conditions, sites shuttered or bought by larger and larger conglomerates - I struggle to place the blame or burden on them for covering indie games

Quick ping to @skatunenetwork.bsky.social following up on that thing. LMK if/when you are available. Any evening is good for me.

If someone were to become a "Doctor of Pedantry", which college would award it? Mathematics? Philosophy? Linguistics?
I'm sure @wolvendamien.bsky.social has a thought or two.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

But I will give 10:1 odds that @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social will be right next to those pundits making the argument against meaningfully helping the people who voted for them and who they nominally represent.
This is a landslide. The last NYC mayoral candidate to clear 1 million votes was John Lindsay—over 50 years ago. It will be dismissed by pundits saying it can only happen in New York. That's garbage. Think pledging to freeze rent and offer childcare won't resonate in Nevada? Wisconsin? Texas?

And note that he never rejected what some sneeringly refer to as "idpol". Never came close to throwing minorities under the bus. On the contrary. The affordability agenda came hand in hand with him actively standing up for those principles. He could never have mobilised his base like this otherwise.
Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.
