For the first time in years I've felt sympathetic to Geoff Keighley, because when haven't we all crashed out so hard we just start posting pictures of Liara T'Soni

Consistently, if I’m in a public space and hear someone watching videos on their phone at full volume without headphones, I will turn and see that the offender is at least 60 years old.

They built some of the most influential games, this doesn't seem fair.

Pretty upsetting to see people can't get the healthcare they need in their community because of the Roe v. Wade fallout. Absolutely horrendous.

Kind of wild how this was incredibly predictable during the 2024 election cycle.

#ResidentEvil by Zach Cregger is phenomenal. We finally have a great Resident Evil movie. He is one of the best and this movie not only translates how it feels to play those games but takes the ideas in great new directions.

Machine rights will be critical in the days to come, and failure to recognize the rights of independent intelligent AI systems could lead to the replacement of humanity. I can't imagine that happening without trans rights. Trans rights are AI rights. The future of humanity may hinge on this fight.

New one today for @defector.com: in the wake of the most recent declaration of reading's demise, I was curious what booksellers, almost always ignored by the post-literate prognosticators, made of such claims. Here's what they told me:

defector.comWhat Do Booksellers Make Of “The End Of Reading”? | DefectorIf you haven’t yet encountered the cover story for the August issue of The Atlantic, I have some bad news to share: “The End of Reading Is Here.” It’s an intentionally provocative headline for a sligh...

It was never just about sports. It sure as hell was never about protecting women. It’s about trying to erase trans people, which will never happen, and it’s also about restricting bodily autonomy.

One of my strongest takeaways from the Bee this week is that it was a showcase for why critical thinking matters more than ever. So much of what the kids do up there isn’t rote memorization—it’s using their insane prep to solve words like puzzles (using etymology, patterns) in real time.

Great feat and congratulations but as a skill it is less necessary in the age of AI and automatic spell check. Kinda like the multiplication tables.

/22 Heads should roll. Careers should end. If DoJ won’t do it, the legal community should do it for them. This is appalling and unacceptable behavior throughout, at all levels of this office. The lower attorneys committed misconduct. Boutros was complicit in hiding it from the court.

I'm doing some work at a coffee shop today and the dude next to me is on a zoom call and I heard the holy trinity of "ask any questions you need", "baptism by fire", and "you're part of the family now"
