Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

Just heard that Dick Cheney died and instantly thought of it this clip that introduced me to the comedy of @pattonoswalt.bsky.social ages and ages ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIQS...

Another 🎯 from PJ Guy’s story:
The power of *mental rehearsal*.

Don’t just “rehearse your anxiety”. Instead imagine yourself acting — somehow—in that situation

Reality unlikely to unfold like your imagined scene — but that’s not the point. *Actively create a cognitive picture of yourself acting*

Max Dubler @maxdubler • 2/8/25 That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. Jason C & @jasonc_nc・2/8/25 I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist. Q 24 L. 1.8K 15K Ill 399K 贝 ① Max Dubler @maxdubler True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer dance parties.

Then I would want you to understand that it's an iterative process and that you can critique each sample I send your way so we can tweak it until you are satisfied.

I would be happy with a brainstorm session where you talk about the ideas in your head. I would also appreciate references to other things/songs that come close to the vibe you want.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social There any truth to this? You seem like the guy to ask.

Yeah I was reading the ksn website for the local news and they are so gutless on criticising anything Trump related. I couldn't stomach the propaganda anymore.

Late stage celebrity worship

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Same here too!

Yeah, I figured. My own music journey has been similar. I still write the same amount of music but I'm way more selective about what I release.

Not sure how you ever think you're washed when everything you put out slaps. Of course your standards change as you grow as an artist, but that's what raises the bar.

it's very true that Nazis can be welcoming and accommodating TO INFLUENCERS who they want to help them spread their message. if Nazis are being nice to you it isn't a sign they are more "welcoming". it's a sign they find you useful.

Dude, I regularly get songs stuck in my head weeks later. I don't know any of the words. It's just good.

I got tickets to see them in October. Really intrigued by the new look and direction.

One of the best use cases I can imagine for AI hallucinated drivel: to get him thinking more about piss.

The game without sexual content of any type, the game about sexual assault, too adult for visa or mastercard too stomach. Because Visa and Mastercard and payment processors consider discussing the impacts of sexual assault to be tantamount to pornography, which is a loaded fucking implication.

Because he is very large. The answer is self evident.

As long as it brings out Ritchson thirst and not, you know, antisemitism then I guess you're in the clear.

Ma'am, cool it on the Ambien! 😭

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

phone numbers and a script:

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Let’s change gears. Do some good

Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination

Device manager Bluetooth settings might have power saving options. Disable anything that is meant to save battery.

Noem let those girls die with search and rescue teams sitting on their hands waiting for authorization

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I think that the only way to condense ten dungeons and magic items into a 90 minute movie is to give it some Princess Bride treatment, where a lot of Link's toiling happens off camera and the final few puzzle pieces come together at the climax. If not, I think it'll feel either rushed or repetitive.
