For the last 2 years I have been tracking a generational change in the nature of software development, and I think I've finally decided where all of this turmoil is going to end up. It's good news, but not for everybody. https://seldo.com/posts/we-are-all-product-engineers-now/

This looks interesting! More board games need a dexterity-game victory condition that comes out of nowhere at the end.

I’ve never played tabletop role-playing games much but it’s been amazing to see how much our 10 year old loves it. Started off with a summer camp, then a weekly class and his last birthday party, and now we’re getting a neighborhood kid biweekly session going. Love to see him so excited!

From when Paul the Trombonist accidentally texted his wife with voice transcription on while practicing:

Jan did not know what she had unleashed

Broke out Beyond the Sun last night. Forgot how much I enjoyed it, need to break out the expansion sometime.

not polite to call some people stupid, but it is genuinely a party of stupid people

NEW: Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

Okay hear me out: @samreich.bsky.social and @pftompkins.bsky.social collab on a Last One Laughing-style show called “No Laughing Matters”, bringing in the CBBverse to Dropout. Please please please.

If you had told me as a kid that a non-insubstantial portion of my day would include telling a computer “REJECT OPTIONAL COOKIES”, I would have thought you were crazy

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

God this is so fucking cool THIS is the kind of cyberpunk future bullshit I actually want

We all have days like this

@cmyk.games hello I emailed y’all to cancel an order of Magical Athlete (since I picked up a copy at my local game store) back on 3/2 and 3/4 and never heard back, and I guess it shipped today. Probably too late to do anything about it but may want to see if the support email is being monitored

Hi! Bluesky-user expert here. just so you know, Bluesky users posting “sign of distress” jokes is not “cute”, it’s actually a sign of distress

We played Magical Athlete for the first time with the whole family last night. Mr. 6 was asking to play it again after he got off the bus which is a great sign. He was cracking up remembering my repeated 1 rolls. ❤️ Great work @cmyk.games!

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

In Minnesota, we stand tall with our neighbors in the face of hatred.

Yep, you guessed it: Joe the Plumber

Leveling up my dadhood by bingeing on a history podcast. It’s very exciting when you remember nothing from history class and have no idea how it will all end.

2026 basically

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

My fleet of racist interns posted that racist AI slop on my account, not me, and they also posted that defense of the racist AI post as well, and both interns will get a stern talking-to by a third racist intern.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

I never take a board game win for granted till the minute the last point is counted. And usually at least a few days after that, just to be sure.
