In 2026 we're not sharing grifters to dunk on them. We're not spreading hate on the skyline in order to make a point about that hate. We're not quote skeeting small accounts with bad takes. We're just not gonna promote hostile stupid thought to our friends

one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

Replacing junior coders with AI is a deliberate decision to rack up technical debt: bug-ridden, sprawling code bases that are impossible to understand or maintain.
It'a a decision that ensures you won't have any senior coders in 6 years when you need people to fix it. It's eating your seed corn.

When u buy books new, buy them from Firestorm! You'll get a cute bookmark and even sometime surprise stickers! Firestorm is the best!
This is intended to be a heads up that our project is increasingly precarious. We'll share more in January along with an outline of how we plan to address our financial sustainability. In the meanwhile, we appreciate your continued support and hope that you'll keep us in mind when buying books! ❤️🔥 3/

Much easier to issue these kinds of decisions when the Trump administration is down. That's why you got to keep pounding them when they're down. *This* is when you run up the score.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.
Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

Our so-called opposition party can't afford to be cute or coy with what's happening here. It's not just naked corruption, it's ethnic cleansing, treason, atrocities, with naked corruption threaded through it.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.
It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

Excluding costs, the biggest impediment to AI adoption in game dev is that the output quality sucks ass and it makes games worse. AI adopters need everyone to use it so that people lower their standards and become more okay with buying garbage
I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

i can't believe the number of people in my life who are enthusiastically using Chat GPT for therapy, to analyze text conversations with partners, get advice on disputes with neighbors etc.
