This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Imagine outsourcing all your thinking to a guy who still only has two Pokémon badges after 80 hours of gameplay.

it's really funny to live in a world where people are trying to argue that you don't exist while there's a separate group of people convinced that a bunch of auto-complete functions might be considered a person

Lime bike stations have started appearing in central vancouver so here is me saying:
for the love of god DO NOT USE THEM.
Theyre on a trial run here, are an American company, and the money you spend on that is funds diverted from public transit or Mobi which deserve your money 1000x more.

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

So he clearly 100% did not believe in the inherent worth of any of it at all, it was always an act, zero genuine moral investment, dropped it to comply in advance, good to know, good to know
Bill Gates has liquidated his climate policy and advocacy organization, laying off dozens of staff in Washington, Brussels, and elsewhere.
It’s another giant retrenchment for the billionaire, who had already slashed his climate grant budget last month. heatmap.news/climate/brea...

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.
The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.
Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.
While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

I took a walk out to a local cafe today while (purposefully) leaving my phone at home, and I feel a damn sight better for it.
I understand that doing so isn't viable or safe for many of you, but I would 10000% recommend anyone to do the same. And no, just putting it on silent mode doesn't count.
