I watched A24's "Warfare" over the weekend and can't stop thinking about it.

Intense, visceral, great audio.

Not to sound alarmist - but an unhealthy amount of my personality is still deriving from Expedition 33.

RFK Jr. says there aren't autistic poets. We asked an autistic poet. "I will challenge RFK Jr. to write a poem as good as me any day of the week."

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one.

Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the β€œStudio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently.

I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

This song still gets to me every time. It was the only time in a movie theater I literally had my breath taken away. The moments of silence were so impactful, you could hear a pin drop. I'd love to relive it.

Graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Sound Design. I feel like I gained some good knowledge/skills there. But it didn't justify the price imo.

I think what’s so frustrating is executives talking about β€œgetting swagger back” by releasing good games *in order to* increase investment, whereas every dev I know just wants to release good games when they’re ready *in order to* keep sustainably making good games that players like.

NEW: I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk.

What would she say to him? Here was her answer:

β€œFuck off.”

I am heartbroken. We were making something so beautiful, y'all.

I'm out of a job and I'm having a baby in ten weeks.

I'm terrified.

Made some music yesterday for fun. It's not perfect, but I always enjoy having some time to noodle in this space for myself.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.
