A panel from a Calvin and Hobbes comic. Calvin's mom, eating dinner, says "Life could be worse, Calvin." Calvin, clearly upset, his mouth huge says "Life could be a lot BETTER too!"

happy birthday to bill watterson who gave me the gift of encapsulating my entire ethical approach in one comic panel.

As much as I understand your financial reasoning @mozilla.org, I don't want shady #AI in my @firefox.com #browser but rather that amazing #pocket #reading list feature!!
Much more important and useful for the average user imho.

What we’re seeing right now is the surfacing of an underlying reality: that city hall is unable to control its police department, is deeply afraid of it, and made devils bargain after devils bargain to keep the extent of it hidden

Today, the Vox Media Union learned the devastating news that Polygon, home to some of gaming and geek culture’s most beloved and respected journalism, is being sold off to controversial website Valnet. As part of the sale, nearly all of Polygon’s award-winning staff were laid off. Our colleagues at New York Magazine saw additional layoffs today as well. To say that we are outraged and heartbroken is an understatement. This marks the fifth round of layoffs at Vox Media-owned brands in a six-month period. It has occurred during contract bargaining in which the company has thus far rejected all of the union’s economic proposals, and refuses to offer meaningful counters. This move not only disrespects our colleagues, it blatantly undermines a good-faith bargaining process. Arguably even more demoralizing is Vox Media’s decision to sell a lauded games website to a company known for alleged exploitative conditions and for devaluing rigorous journalism in favor of churning out content. Vox Media’s lack of respect for Polygon’s reputation in games media, the hard work and passion of its staff, and the robust community of gamers and fans who support it could not be clearer. Losing Polygon to such a company is not just a loss for Vox Media, but for our industry and internet culture as a whole. From a sustainability perspective, it makes little financial or long-term sense, and speaks to a lack of care and consideration for this company and its staff. The Writers Guild of America East and Vox Media Union will continue to offer help and support to our colleagues at Polygon and New York who are leaving us, just as we have supported our colleagues impacted by previous layoffs around the company. Please stay tuned for more information on how you can support those impacted by these layoffs. We will continue the fight for economic protections and job security in bargaining, where we set new standards for workers in the entire digital media industry. We stand with you all.

We are devastated and outraged about today's layoffs, the sale of Polygon, and the loss of staff across Polygon and NY Mag. We stand with our colleagues at @polygon.com com and @nymagunion.bsky.social in solidarity.

May Day 2025 Poster - An Injury to One Is an Injury to All

Proud to celebrate & support May Day once again while working for the @ncstateaflcio.bsky.social. Still wild I get paid to help this fight. Focusing on the intersectional impact to workers across the world is going to be one of the best tools to getthrough this nightmare. #SolidarityForever #MayDay

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today.

Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

I believe the Rook and the Bishop are the shogi tiles Netero gives Gon and Killua to test against "assassins" to enter the NGL. Idk if that has much deeper significance or those are just the two tiles on the top of Togashi's mind

Snow brush

We get snow so infrequently in Raleigh that I'm outta practice. But I find that snow brush confidence coming back after cleaning a dozen cars or so. Especially if it's the cars of people who haven't been allowed to go home early.

Calling your reps is only the 1st step. This excellent old Amnesty International advocacy video gives very practical next steps for turning that call into a relationship. It also offers great tips on how to keep the pressure up until you get what you want. This should be mandatory for civics class.
