I can't believe that Dot Com won the Cardboard Edison Award, it's a huge honor!! Massive thanks to the judging team for all their hard work and feedback, and to everyone who playtested the game. I hope to play all the finalists' games at some point, they all look super fun :)

Just try to process this.
The health ministry has released a new 1,000-page document with the names, ages and other info, of 52,959 Palestinians killed in Gaza. For the first 100 pages (over 5,000 names), the age is listed at 5 years or younger. The first 18 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year)

Hi Bluesky! I'm Sammy, a board game designer from the Seattle area. I plan to mostly post about game design along with other various life things on here :)

Two of my fav in-dev games: Spy Moles, a roll-and-write played with invisible ink pens, and Dot Com, a frantic real-time economic strategy game
A photo of my game Spy Moles. There's a sheet of paper with a grid on it, and a blacklight shining on the paper reveals markings made by the player with an invisible ink pen. Surrounding the paper are cards and stencils A photo of my game Dot Com. In the center of the table is a game board, with player pawns and cards on top of it. Each player also has their own personal board showing the actions they can take. Not pictured is the companion app for the game that keeps track of your money!

There is a free-use mirror of the KidPix, that runs in your browser!

This delight was originally created in 1989 for Mac by Craig Hickman and has seen many versions over the years.

As mentioned by Rebecca (@beccabeean.bsky.social) you absolutely need to turn your sound up.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

my husband just sent me this
tumblr user nitewrighter says: Me: I don’t get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I’m like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Listening to a whole music album over multiple times is probably the best way to interact with an artist. The songs just hit you at different times and you find new favorites and appreciation 💿💖

Again, the only way we get through these next 4 years is at every moment we can to tell the full truth about our country. We no longer have space for fence sitters and beer summits.

Photography of a prison in El Salvador showing metal bunks from the floor up with four levels of sleeping quarters. The four sets of bunks have multiple individuals in one Twin bed sized space. Many of them are facing the camera in white tshirts and shorts, some are barefoot, some have socks, some are wearing white crocs. Some individuals are wearing masks. It is one room that we can see well over 50 people in. The “little camp” in Buchenwald, 1945. Former political prisoners upon liberation were photographed and is a commonly shared image to depict the graphic and inhumane crimes of Nazis under Hitler’s regime in WW2. Shown are wooden bunks with four levels, where grown adults were expected to sleep three to a “bed”. Victims of this camp shown are severely malnourished and partially nude. Most of the individuals in this image are laying down looking at the camera, while some face away. There is one individual standing and leaning against a wooden support beam holding clothing over his genitals. He is otherwise nude and extremely malnourished, with his rib cage and hips protruding from his sunken skin.

The Alexa feature "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" you enabled no longer available. Now everything will be sent to Amazon cloud server and it may become part of LLM training. Only Amazon knows what they are going to do with all that data.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.
