It's been several hours and I'm still losing my mind over what's currently going on at Worlds 2025

Sailor Mars shopping-cart surfing with the caption: if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

Hey.

🧵Thread of cafes, restaurants, bars, bagel joints, etc offering free meals to SNAP recipients, for those who might need it, & so those who don't can give 'em their business.

If you know of such offers in your area & don't see them here, please tell us in @'s.

Here's one! toastedseattle.com

"I want us to move away from these models where everything is centralized, where we're beholden to tech giants, and where our worst behaviors and instincts are encouraged and enflamed. I want the internet to be repopulated with funky weird websites about whatever random hobby or interest you have"

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

I’m sorry y’all the Seattle mayoral race is straight up hilarious. A millionaire incumbent trying to paint his opponent who is raising a 2 year old in a 1 bedroom apartment as out of touch lol

PLEASE don't let people get away with using AI as a source. I've seen too many screenshots of Google AI answers instead of links to articles or papers. Context collapse happens so incredibly quickly because people take whatever perspective they're handed instead of using their own.

I'm just posting to post something...

A good reminder for all the indie game devs out there.

What we do is very difficult. It doesn't always work out the way we might hope. But you created something from nothing and put it out into the world. That matters. You matter.

Drop some CLOWNS 🤡🍔

I remain convinced that AI is fundamentally a labor-punishing technology, not a labor-replacing one; the point is to force existing workers to accept lower wages & worse conditions because of the threat of a replacement that’s not practically possible at scale

I will never stop shouting about it from the rooftops, even though if I ever buy a house in Washington, I'll probably never be able to afford it 😭

Solar is so fucking good. My dad got in early on solar (like late 2000's-early 2010's) and got a bunch of panels installed on my parent's house (facing south!) and it chopped the $400+ electric bill we had to like... $20 (the cost to be hooked to the power grid lol)

In Brazil, when a big confusion happens, we say “um barata-voa danado” (something like “a flying-roach situation”). This powerful expression is used to instantly illustrate the primitive chaos that erupts when a cockroach starts flying in enclosed spaces with people. And I think that's beautiful.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

When people whine about NSFW artists existing I'm just gonna refer them to this. Osamu Tezuka drew sooooo much furry porn you guys.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇." In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.) We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Good Morning! Happy Saturday...this week I ripped the bandaid off and fulfilled a promise I made at a con to publish one of my games if my ttrpg gaming tables filled up and I was very surprised when they did...jokes on me and joy is for you. Check it out! MMM the cooking ttrpg!

In Yoshi's Island, a cave background sparkles, but only when Yoshi moves. This is achieved in an inventive way by making many 1-pixel "pinholes" in the background through which a field of stars is visible. The parallax motion shows the stars intermittently, creating sparkles.

A post by Rebecca Johnson: “I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.” A tumblr respond from mightymur: “The final, brilliant word on passive voice. "She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive "Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
