Thank you, Walter. RIP

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

my favourite however? this ridiculously unconventional approach to game design. a lost art here, I want to capture both pages and show you the entire thing

You could not waterboard this information out of me. You need a computer to tell you what's special about your kid? You're a fucking monster. Full stop.

What if I use AI to make a game to protest the oligarchy? And the game is free. Using the tools of our oppressors and such. Does that make it ok? Asking for a friend.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

“Exclusive Senior Advisor” is the kind of title that morons give themselves.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

This is some serious men-sharing-opinions-confidently energy here.

Everyone that works for a Silicon Valley company should have to read Jessamyn’s field reports of people trying to use their devices, then think about their own product quality, then make appropriate changes.

With poverty you're either paying to address it one way, or paying to address it another. Letting it play out costs even more. Better to address it up front in a way that is most effective, dignified and inexpensive. Welcome to basic income. bsky.app/profile/scot...

This post sounds like an exaggeration but then you watch the ad and, yup, that's really the point of it

cynicism is *impotence*. cowardice is a special form of impotence

NPR’s Planet Money recently did a show on tariff refunds and interviewed Panic’s Cabel Sasser about how they decided to refund their Playdate-buying customers for the tariffs surcharge they paid. [npr.org]

The live-action cutscenes in pixel art survival horror game, Tenebris Somnia, are incredible, but the WAY they're used is also genius! On Consoles & PC: store.steampowered.com/app/2121510/... Vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wI6... by indie dev Andrés Borghi & producer @airdorfofficial.bsky.social

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

In less than a week, Trump’s newest lying mouthpiece was fired. She was never an attorney. She never passed the bar, and from what we’ve seen, reading seems to be a struggle for her too. As a licensed attorney, I had to earn my credentials. The American people deserve QUALIFIED public servants.

Today, another American citizen & journalist was brutalized by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank. This repeated violence & brazen impunity for attacks against Americans & Palestinians alike are unacceptable. When will Trump & Rubio DO SOMETHING?

For a second I thought it was a new video of Todd and I got so excited. 😞 But if you haven’t seen this one, it is excellent!

I really feel like Spotify's algorithmic playlist generator is missing the point of all of this on so many levels.

This is so moronic. In what way would a public execution deter someone from committing an act of terrorism? They know going into it the result is most likely death. If anything, the execution being "public" would possibly serve as an enticement (attention, martyrdom, etc.), right?

Trump has canceled Biden-era law enforcement actions against 200+ corporations accused of wrongdoing, according to Public Citizen. Corporations that have benefited have previously given $210 million in contributions and pledges to Trump's super PAC and GOP PACs. Everything is for sale.

"Most nations avoid public executions for the pretty obvious reason that turning a person’s death into propaganda is an assault on human dignity. It creates perverse incentives for jackals like Hegseth to target individuals for spectacular acts of violence in the name of self-aggrandizement."

Trump's continued attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social the Somali American community, & our Muslim neighbors are a heinous attempt to distract from his complete & utter failure as president. Every American should be chilled to the bone: these are the actions of a dictatorship not a democracy.

Prompting as Self-Portrait. “We need the blank page and the silence to go deeper into our thoughts and our understanding of ourselves and of the world.” [doc.cc]

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

3D graphics were an experiment we ran for a few decades, the study period for which has now concluded. Thank you for your participation. We will be returning to 2D pixel art only starting January 2027.

Any single individual having this amount of influence in our elections does not lead to a healthy democracy. It doesn’t matter if they are supporting Democrats or Republicans. We need a serious effort at campaign finance reform and have to overturn the Citizens United decision.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.
