A twitter post explaining how you can “save PNGs to birds” by converting a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram then playing it to a starling who sung it back, reproducing the PNG.

Can’t wait to introduce bird-based storage into my backup system

best thing I've read on the itch situation yet. remind me to mull over these thoughts again in the future harmonyzone.org/blog/posts/t...

Dozens of Palestinians killed in latest Israeli attacks near food aid distribution site, medics and witnesses say Witnesses describe people shot in head and torso near sites run by Israeli-backed US organisation Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse

It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

oh!! this is very nice to see!

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

the thing about layoffs of this scale is that so much is happening it involves days and days of discovering fresh horrors

A flyer advertising a protest at the New York Times on Saturday, July 5th. It reads “The New York Times continues to defame trans people, ignore Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, and normalize ICE raids across the country. Join us in rejecting their harmful, bigoted coverage of modern struggles.”

i'm so happy to have my work with Knave of Cups! their catalog is really wonderful to browse through, lucky to be in it

Have poured many many many hours into this over the past year, pretty proud of where things are at and hopeful for making it even better with support from others.

Some reflections on NarraScope - Essay Games Blog I’m currently sitting in an overcrowded, overheated, delayed Amtrak train after attending NarraScope, and even in these not-so-ideal circumstances, I’m ending the weekend filled with ideas and optimis...

Ok so I finally got around to finishing my round-up for the Essay Games blog:

I had such an excellent time over the weekend. Probably one of the best conferences I've ever attended.

truly, tonight is a banner night for the “a better world is always possible” posters. secondly, and more importantly, it is one for the Haters

Turns out there was a more exciting message than better things aren’t possible

my neighbors across the hall just let out an audible "LET'S FUCKING GO" lmao. perfect city

Brad Lander you will see the Kingdom of Heaven

I'm in touch with a source in Cuomo's camp. They're all screaming and turning back into rats. Not looking good so far

im barking at the tv clapping like its the super bowl. im getting a bacon egg and cheese tattooed on my chest. im feeling gratitude for and solidarity with my fellow man

bold words from viditya "going to canvas with my entire household in 100 degree weather" voleti

spent my afternoon making a short little web game for New Yorkers called "Don't Rank Cuomo"... it has 10 levels. it's very realistic and challenging. can YOU don't rank Cuomo? play in browser (free): radiatoryang.itch.io/cuomo

The "number of people normally cited as killed" (~50k atm) is the number which Gazan health officials have confirmed killed by violence. To be part of this number, an identifiable body or a witness must be brought to a hospital and issued a death certificate. Every hospital in Gaza has been bombed.

gonna be talking adapting filmic endings to games, but especially about trope grafting, and why applying cliches from one medium can be tools for telling new kinds of story in another
