GOOD MORNING WASHINGTON! Scarlett O'Hairdye here, reminding you to do your Civic Booty and get your ballots into a drop box by Nov 3! Piss off a transphobic billionaire today by voting: NO ON I-645 NO ON I-001 NO ON I-638 It's free, easy, and puts you on the side of justice! Tell your friends!

ladies, is your programming - a field dominated by rich white men - driven by fashion trends - practiced as a demonstration of status - funded by vanity projects for failsons - filled with queers trying and failing to break even that's art, sorry

Nyek London@stupidhoroscope.bsky.social

I donโ€™t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going โ€˜This will never work, Iโ€™m a failureโ€™, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

@avilewis.ca, head of the NDP (and husband of @naomiaklein.bsky.social) wants the Canadian government to rescue BioWare. Good for him. It's vital to do everything we can, however futile, to try to stop the Reapers, oops I mean investment funds from destroying everything.

No matter what poverty line you choose, the share of the global population below it has declined. The World Bank's International Poverty Line is an extremely low poverty line. Set at $3 per day, it draws attention to the living conditions of the poorest people on the planet.

There is something so soul crushing about creating art that pushes the needle in the games industry, only to be thanked by using the capital gained from said art to push the ones who created it out of a job.

Street Fighter (2026) is fun and weird and not good in the best ways. The production is immaculate, and the cast clearly seems to be having an amazing time. I'm mad that i don't know how long i have to wait for the next one.

Only 1 week left to submit your #GopherConJP proposal! ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต We've received 40 proposals from around 30 people so far, but we'd love to hear from even more of you! Don't miss your chance to speak at GopherCon Japan. Submit your proposal now! ๐Ÿš€

The problem with being a tall runner is that I can run 10k, but still take fewer than 10k steps. But it was also only in 56 minutes! I'll take it! A far cry from when I could knock out 10k in around 42 minutes, but i believe i can get back there!

I definitely have slightly more robust forearms from having lugged around two hefty bits of luggage on and off for two weeks.

Called out by the bartender for flirting. Embarrassed, i shall decline to the west. ( My hotel is west of the bar)

I got into the speak easy. It's great. Even the quartet of 18y/o who also came in at the same time can't get me down. It's their first time out.

I couldn't get a seat at the neat little speak easy so now I'm a boozy cow.

Decades of bungie games have trained me specifically to get the sticky grenade onto your head for maximum 'splode. Not because it may do more damage, but because it's simply personally satisfying.

Viv @ Home@dizzybreak.bsky.social

maybe your game isn't about that, cool - have all the visualizations you want, but if it *is*, showing a projectile arc pre-emptively robs me of mastery! I will not feel satisfied for throwing the thing, i will not get better at throwing the thing, it will not feel like a physical object

Going on record to say that for any company in America given the choice between 1. AI productivity gains mean our 10,000 employees can work 4 days a week. 2. AI productivity gains mean we can layoff 2,000 employees and have 8,000 people work 5 days a week. None will choose option (1).
