thinking about how nice it is to own nice things that friends have made (pottery, quilts, clothes, art), and even nicer to go round to other friends places and see that they do too. tangible evidence of the community we exist within.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

To: me
Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

Regards,
___ (🏳️⚧️she/her, UTC -5)

As a courtesy, a copy of this email has been sent to your manager listed in Workday™

My opinion is that there should be one big button labeled "opt out" and when you click it it should opt you out. Just in general.

This is the way to do it.
The union is across the whole company.
This means leadership can't just fire a department, like we see with various QA groups being let go.
It's cross discipline, so true collective bargaining is possible, and 'solidarity' moves are feasible.

Appreciate this is aimed at a narrow audience but...
On Jan 11 2026 I will be talking about electronic games from the 1980s at the Video Game History Museum in Zagreb, Croatia.
Based on my book, From Coin-Ops to Table-Tops.
Would love to take this same talk elsewhere... to UK museums?

It's kind of fascinating to me that two of the prime obsessions of the 21st century science are "meat without mind" and "mind without meat"
If people want to do this, we need to learn how to make a bunch of enzymes at scale and it may actually not be possible for cheaper than real meat for a long time
I think what is going to happen is that lab-grown meat will gradually catch up with real animals and when that happens we will all quietly admit that the vegans were right about factory farming

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
