Pouring one out for Bioware this morning, and thinking of their rise and fall across such a long period. It's oddly close to home, for someone who never worked there, and only in an adjoining industry. But I did get to see behind the curtain once, and it stuck with me.

Dear Tim Sweeney, you could learn a thing or two from the Xbox exec who posted so bad that he had to delete his account aftermath.site/xbox-brandon-s...

At this point, the Labour government really need to explain: 1) what they understand to be the purpose of the Gender Recognition Act to be. 2) what the purpose of a Gender Recognition Certificate is under current law. 3) how the decision was made to repeal these protections by stealth.

I very much doubt that this will be a lens through which we examine a lot of comfortable cishet people going absolutely coocoo in the coconut through lockdown-era online radicalisation about lots of things but largely settling on becoming extremely anti LGBT+

Enjoy your M64 and other ModRetro stuff! This is the founder you're funding.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

I don't believe they are conscious but I also don't believe you should get to do interviews where you say "idk man our business model might be built on enslaving sentient creatures" and still get to be a business.

Extremely grateful for these two grocery store ladies recreating Prodigy’s Firestarter

The religious right is steadily expanding its definition of what is sexual — and restricting what it deems acceptable in public spaces. Tech companies, in want of less oversight, are taking the hint. The deplatforming that started with sex workers / kink / trans has come for gay bars.

We were also gifted this. Truly, the Last Webbed Site.

Michael Vassar/Arc is one of my three LessWrong exes. He's the one who called me a 5y/o in a hot 20y/o's body. He's the one who stuck his dick in my mouth while I was waking up in his borrowed apartment.

Weird how Christian-majority states always seem to work out to "forgiveness is divine" when it's someone with more power/privilege, and "suffer not a witch to live" when it's someone lower on the totem pole.

your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

It's my birthdaaaaay!🎊 As an artist, it's often difficult to acknowledge how much I work and how much I improve, so today I want to be nicer to myself and share some of my favourite pieces I made since my last bday.💙 If you'd like to share, it would be a lovely gift!🙏✨

Normalise saying "What the fuck is wrong with you?" when other men are out of line.

Just as a reminder, that's Linda McMahon standing next to him. If you're watching and engaging with WWE, you're contributing to the fascist attacks on the people on this country and the world by this administration.

Just remember the rhyme! Masked by the sea, you’re alright by me, Masked by the planes, we’ll clap you in chains.

Books readers love but don't recommend (or warn people away from even while recommending): A thread. Hi, I'm AK, and I write a series people love (privately, in my inboxes) which has won multiple awards and accolades. Here's why people generally don't recommend it. 🧵

How many holes does a straw have?

game changer in a nutshell

will say it again: the most effective way to curb far right agitators like Lowe, "Tommo" et. al. would be to stop their ability to earn money for it from social media or live streaming. So much of it is grifting for revenue, not attention.

Everyone’s talking about AI, but no one’s actually asking workers how it’s affecting us. So we’ve done it ourselves. Today we are launching the AI Workers’ Inquiry, a new study led by workers themselves, into the way AI is changing work. Read it at go.utaw.tech/ai

Regulators should shut this down before it leads to a wave of predictable, preventable deaths by suicide.

My cat has been sick, which has made me feel so terrible and anxious, I can hardly function. She's 19.5 years old and has been with me forever. I fear we're nearing the end and I love her so much. If you have a pet, please give them a kiss for me. Take them out for a walk tomorrow; give them a treat

this shit is awesome and i don't wanna risk some sort of bullshit international terrorism charges so i won't do anything this info and i am absolutely not encouraging anyone to do anything with this information but i think it is very important information to have

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

The people who are running the massively powerful and lucrative US AI industry pretty much all know about this chart, and quite a few directly participated in the proceedings. Speaking of the rationalist sex cult who regard a Harry Potter fanfic as their Bible, and who also have tons of money.
