Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

just found out st patricks cathedral (nyc) has geothermal wells almost 2000 ft deep. literally piping in heat from hell

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

ahah yes we're on that same shit!!

I've had desire paths running in the background over the last 6~ months and it's been a small but consistent joy to stumble onto a page in the middle of the night and find not just old purple links, but also the weird wandering path of mouse hovers and previews and almost-clicks that I once followed

I also made a version that ran live in @pankegallery.bsky.social for the duration of Hostile Platforms / Beloved Margins last October which was a real joy because you got to pick up and further a collective path, just like a real desire path in a public place

This little project came out of conversation with @galaxykate.bsky.social and Christina Cuneo during last summer's sfpc class "The Browser is Already a Game Engine" where we were thinking a lot about the playful affordances already present in web browsers

were it not for the active exploitation of contract workers i would find this neopets ttrpg debacle really enjoyable. what a treat to have an adaptive work that completely crashes the original thing through a plate glass window

Oh, thank you! I also published this new browser userscript wikipedia project yesterday for playtesting, and will post widely about it... today? Probably? greasyfork.org/en/scripts/5... / everest-pipkin.com#projects/des...

very generous of zoe, and as always, all agitprop i've drawn is available to print for whoever wants it

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

pantomime opposition. all we have is each other

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

It has been an incredible experience working with @meredithgran.com on Perfect Tides: Station to Station.

So much thought and care went into the words, story, art, music, and systems (yes, systems), and it is amazing to see it already resonating so much with players who value those things.

Screenshot of a Tweet from Katharine Neil that say "Conference banner on the wall at the first #freeplay20 in 2004. "Innovation in the Field of Excellence" was a dig at the bullshit corporate themes that the Australian Game Developers' Conference used to go with every year." The photo is a banner with "Innovation in the field of excellence" crossed out and replaced with "Freedom and independence in game development!"

First and most importantly is to recognise its legacy. Freeplay was the longest-running independent games festival in the world. It was one of the first dedicates spaces for the countercultural and political side of gamemaking.

Really sad to hear today that Freeplay Independent Games Festival is likely coming to the end of its adventure in 2026 after 22 incredible years. Freeplay has been pivotal to my own career and I have some complex, straight out contradictory feelings about the announcement I wanna try to articulate.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years

ICE came to Ohio State University job fair to recruit students. Students protested and ICE arrested three students.

I made another small video tool: BLENDO VIDEO KNIFE 🔪

This is a tool to cut a video file into separate segments with custom filenames. I made this to handle some old family VHS tapes lol

Fill in the timestamps, drag in the video file, done

placeholder art is supposed to look like this. you're supposed to make it in 5 seconds.

it's a crucial part of the process because a placeholder will often be remarkably similar to the final art/text, because you were unburdened by bigger details when you made it.

this is today! come see what my students have been making

Imma retweet this not to further discourse on the skyline, but because it's always a joy to read Austin's prose.
