I Enjoyed This

reminder btw that boycotting microsoft games includes bethesda, which is owned by microsoft, and its child studios like id

I wanna be as clear as I can that I believe it's no longer possible to be wishy washy on this. Do not play xbox game studio games. do not cover them. Do not talk about them on your podcasts. you can either have values or you can have a meaningless career in games marketing masquerading as criticism.

this movie does have that essential breen quality that i love though – repetition, not just of lines but entire shots and scenes reshot with different actors, to the point where it becomes hypnotic and even dreamlike

i finally watched the newest neil breen movie tonight. the green screen is funny enough but i miss when he would film himself wandering college campuses after dark

The Late Patty Berne Was a Visionary Leader in the Disability Justice Movement As disabled people face brutal cuts to Medicaid, we must draw on Berne’s insight to link with other fights for freedom.

in a way, happy to have left education when i did. in another, being unemployed (especially as a writer! in the games industry!) fucking sucks

so saddened by what ai has already done to education, though it's obviously not just ai but ai in combination with a total lack of funding and support for teachers. thinking about what non-rich kids are growing up with is crushing

that was a rhetorical question i know why

why does the internet suck so bad now

hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner

the fuck??

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

people who haven't had to live with chronic pain don't understand just how much time it steals from you. i'm not just talking about the time you spend incapacitated in bed, but also how much longer it makes every simple task and chore, the stopping-to-catch-your-breath that stretches into an hour.

furry is now illegal

i think about that a lot when i think about the appeal of the conservative mindset

remember when a lot of people who probably think conservatives are dumb for rejecting science in favor of what was uncritically thought to be true when they were kids got upset that pluto was no longer classified as a planet
