The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

while i appreciate @404media.co explaining this, if you ever find yourself explaining to someone why smart glasses recording people is different from a smartphone, i think you have to consider that they're playing with you, and you're playing back in turn.

Frame: these African women soccer players aren't really women
Negation: actually they were all assigned female at birth
Kirby: TRANSPHOBES ARE ALWAYS RACISTS. They are trying to define whose bodies are acceptable. The league must reject that project, not claim to meet its standards

The @nwslsoccer.com & @nwslplayers.bsky.social statements accept the frame of the right wing and it sucks!
They are bad faith attacks from bigoted folks who don’t care about women’s sports at all. Stop justifying their “concerns”. No Murdoch-owned org actually cares about the NWSL.

Seeing all the content focused on centering all the people who need help who aren’t “fat, ghetto asses” and we can already see how the deserving/undeserving rhetorical lines are going to fall.

These stops are not "at odds with the mission." The mission is to meet Miller's arrest quotas, to show that the administration can and will exact revenge on regions that do not comply in advance, and to create chaos to be used to justify stripping rights. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/24/f...

i made a template you can use to think about what "frame/negation/kirby" looks like for other issues.
For example:
Frame: DOGE is a govt efficiency project to save $
Negation: Actually it made things less efficient and cost $
Kirby: DOGE was a project to break and privatize federal bureaucracy

Aggravating to try to decide whether to watch the president do an "address to the nation" because maybe he's going to announce that he's bombing a foreign country, but maybe it's just going to be him hollering about a bunch of charts he doesn't understand

That’s a return on investment of 2.73%
If anyone was thinking of investing in AI, I can give you a similar ROI, whilst being more ethical. For every £100 you give me, I will guarantee I’ll give you £3 this time next year. THIS IS NOT A BUBBLE.

I’m pissed that we’re all going to have a shitty 10-15 years economically because a dozen techboys believed that it was possible to write code to the point that the program could write better code and eventually either kill us all or make us immortal, and so they spent $1.5tn for $41bn in revenue
