Love the idea, let's start a train of art inspired by Bioware games ❤️ These stories mean the world to me, its characters inspired me for years, the artists and writers behind them literally helped shape my artistic journey. I am thankful for everything you've created 🫶

I will get to all of these I've gotten thus far soon, scout's honor.

It's a strange sort of grief when something that made up almost twenty years of my life suddenly ceases to exist. Like a broken bone aching when the weather changes. Sending love to all my old colleagues and all the fans today.

When my son was 5 he had a sartorial flair To go to arts delicatessen he wore a midnight blue cape, top hat &monocle As we were leaving an older gent stopped him saying “young man, i like your style” Meant the world to our son that man was Bob Mackie RIP

One week later, I have an official response from #LACon #Worldcon! I thought all of you should see the entire thing: "Summary: Walking participants only Action Taken: Noted by Listeners team Current Status: CLOSED"

Because there are two Americas*, we are underestimating the amount of psychosocial grief unleashed this past week Michael Wright Cassandra Wilson Dolly Parton Tim Curry Gloria Steinem In basically one week

We used to think that once ovaries had passed through the menopausal transition, the scarred (from making all those eggs!), shrunken organs sat inert in the body. NOPE. "What we found was super surprising.” says Francesca Duncan at @medillschool.bsky.social www.newscientist.com/article/2533...

I do just want to note that I called it:

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Dolly Parton was an uncredited producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When she learned the only female producer was making less than her male counterparts, Dolly cut her a check for the difference, on the spot.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

"We would rather eat rocks and drink gasoline than be split up" - Compulsion Games has officially completed its buyout from Xbox and now owns all its IP. Players who buy games like South of Midnight are now supporting the studio directly, its CEO says. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/we-woul...

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

The problem as I see it is at the pivotal age where those kids will go books or not, we're asking Billy Budd not a modern novel or graphic novel that speaks to them and frankly their demographic or maturity. Pushing kids over time towards harder language/concepts, yes. Obviously.

I have gone on rants on panels that we should be doing everything in our power to build reading audiences including aggressively pushing graphic novels to instill a bone deep love of immersion into imagination from a young age.

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

Could AI do this TAMBIEN?

US child vaccination rates have plunged since before the pandemic, with kindergarten classrooms in more than 70% of counties now lacking herd immunity against measles.

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

I keep thinking about how people are going THROUGH IT. Everyone. It’s so important to have compassion for ourselves AND — crucially — each other.

Kit Connor's casting is simply something that wouldn’t have happened a decade or so ago.

VA-11 Hall-A was made in Venezuela, so we're very proud to be able to support the people there after the terrible earthquakes. This new Humble Bundle gives you great indies for a fraction of the usual price, and will support Direct Relief's work on the ground. www.humblebundle.com/games/indies...

Related, go buy this Humble Bundle and support humanitarian aid in Venezuela, which was hit by an earthquake and is facing a crisis: www.humblebundle.com/games/indies... Or better yet, give direct support: www.directrelief.org/emergency/ve... Or even better yet, do BOTH because you fucking rule

Dude. You find a doctor's office that caters to time travelers, and you're _complaining_ about it?

Really hard to fathom why people have so much hatred of the "prediction market" companies.... www.npr.org/2026/08/07/n...

Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.

Fantastic news! The FDA has approved the first mRNA flu vaccine. Using mRNA technology will make it easier to update each season’s flu vaccine to keep up with new variants.

EA's annual Ebitda is around $1.5 billion, which should be enough to service the interest payments. But the publisher has told debt investors that it will cut $700 million in annual costs including $170 million in "organizational efficiencies," per Bloomberg. In other words: mass layoffs

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
