Thank you Russ! I am absolutely fascinated with how thinking about our thinking can change the way we think!!

On #2, one of the things that I just had a conversation about today was that, sometimes, I just need to _shut up_. Sure, they want to hear what I have to say, as the experienced old guy, but sometimes they have great ideas on how things can be different/better, and I want to hear those ideas. 👍

How do you fight that becoming irrelevant as an ageing white male?

1) Stop saying the next generations suck.
2) Learn from them, accept them.
3) Acknowledge your privilege and your blind spots
4) Earn the trust of others.
5) Become a wizard by turning your experience into magic for others.

I wish more of us understood how our cognitive biases impacted us, our relationships, our workplaces. 😔 Recognizing and accepting we have them is a start -- and possibly the hardest part... 🤔

Amy is a great person to help folks think about that, with amazing energy and insight.

Meet us at Common Ground Church at 4 pm! #HoosierActivism

You know, all those things the current administration is cancelling... 😒

_sigh_ 😔

Woe, woe, woe... We have to have _all_ those things to be a whole person‽‽‽ 😬 I may not be up for this... 😉

(I'm glad the weather is helping you! 😀 It is ridiculously nice out here, also. Going to go for a walk after this last meeting for the day. ☀️😎)

If you need a reason to stop buying games from @alderaceg.bsky.social , here it is.

COO Ryan Dancey thinks so little of designers that he belives AIs could produce games just as good as AEG releases such as Tiny Towns or Cubitos. And he doesn't bother questioning the ethics of that plagiarism.

"Or at least that's the claim." 😆

Honestly, this is a brilliant analysis. 🎯

She looks adorable! 😍

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

This is how Steve met Brad...

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.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

Really smart take here. A good amount of harm that generative AI is producing in modern society is coming from the fact that a ton of people (sometimes including police) have bought into fantasies about what the technology can actually do.

5 Questions to Ask Before You Vote - Builders Before you vote, ask these 5 questions to choose candidates who solve problems, build coalitions, and govern effectively.

Now more than ever you can prevent misinformation and encourage nuanced discussion by reading an article past its headline.

Agreed! I call it the pendulum effect. I frequently see it in USA business environments, where we oscillate between extremes, never (or at least rarely) able to settle into a balanced approach to situations/needs. 😔

Nothing like a meeting with your accountant to make you feel like something stuck on the heel of the universe.

My one paying gig right now isn’t enough, folks, so if you’ve got a need for a proven game developer and creative director in tabletop or adjacent fields please let me know. 🙏🏻

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

this helps manufacture consent that people trying to not get a neurotropic disease that can cause lifelong disability without a cure are the crazy ones. this framing is explicitly condescending, misleading, and does real harm.
