Power and control are the only currency that matter to them after a point.

MacKenzie Scott could do the funniest thing right now.

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Best gas masks “How did these people go out and get gas masks?” AG Bondi asked.

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. “But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

Judge in Minnesota Says ICE Has Violated Nearly 100 Court Orders

"The chief federal judge in Minnesota excoriated ICE saying it had violated nearly 100 court orders and had disobeyed more judicial directives in January alone than “some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

Using gen. A.I. to make slop imagery to go with any anti-fascist statement isn't any sort of flex as it was developed and promoted by the billionaires pushing fascism.
Just fucking stop using it.

Just played a game with my family where one person describes a fictional character and the other has to draw them (forensic artist style) 10/10 definitely recommend as a bit of a mental break from everything being so terrible.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Yourself but as a cartoon

I just recommended an older dude and a younger woman for one of our senior roles. Don't limit your team by age, gender, color, sexuality or creed. Our differences are what make us special.

ben's art has consistently been some of the most striking, creative and flatly *cool* imagery to show up on my feed for as long as I remember, and it's unbelievably damning of the industry that he isn't fighting off employers with a large stick.

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Super bummed about the fact that I finally had a great lead for a job in gaming but they require 3 days in office in another state 🥲

In addition to the yelling about “abolish ice” and “prosecute ice” (which I agree with!) here is a nice thread with some tangible actions with corresponding risk assessments that can create positive impacts in your community.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Why must we live through the early 2000s a second time

You can just spend the day building a Gundamn you know. It's an option.

Get really into dinosaurs. That's my recommendation for a happier life. Each day, I get news like "Look at this big freak that used roam the Earth!" or "Ya know the big freak you already loved? Fossils show it was even more freakish!" and it's a blessing every time.

I find so many artists I've never seen before when researching ref on every single painting I make. This is the way we make connections. Using genAI to make reference is creating unseen missed opportunities at unprecedented speed and removing one more human element of art making.
