Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

The destruction of buildings, water pipes and the electrical system by the Israeli army has made it impossible for the 30,000 forcibly displaced Palestinians to return to normal daily life.

When you call out and warn about attacks on academic freedom by the AfD but you are silent on cancellations by @lmumuenchen.bsky.social due to pressure from the CSU and others you have not understood the concept of academic freedom.
The LMU announces the cancellation of a seminar on the topic "the targeting of Palestinian academia". The cancellation announcement is titled "LMU as a place of pluralistic discourse". Couldn't make this up.

the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.
they spent 4 years studiously avoiding confrontations with the supreme court because they have no interest in court reform. they’re quiet about ICE because they do not want to a single thing about it when they have power. it’s a shitty reality to confront but it is the reality.

It is quite remarkable this thing is a Dunning-Kruger machine, it makes you worse at something *exactly as much* as you think you're getting better at it
…and didn’t give a shit?
There’s been at least one study I’m aware of that tested experienced developers and their use of AI. They estimated their productivity had improved by 20%
When actually tested? It lowered their productivity by 20%.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

So you didn't need the LLM and could validate the output only after months of your careful work. That's evidence it's useless and that your work is valuable.
We spent months doing a careful lit review with help from a librarian, PubMed, and Google Scholar. After we had completed the work and whittled the 7K+ citations down to only 7 that met our criteria, I asked Claude the question we were trying to answer. It found 6 of the 7 and wrote a great report.
