When you don't pay people what they are worth, you are merely training them for your competitors.

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

Look I’m an old leftist punk that brawled with nazi skins and I have literally nothing in common with these people but when I see a soccer mom with a Trans Kids Belong sign screaming FUCK ICE at the top of her lungs I whole heartedly welcome my unlikely new comrade

"A good GM can make any game work" - trite, thought terminating cliche, simplistic
"A well designed game is fun even when you aren't very good at it" - actually useful design advice.

Disability and chronic illness can happen to anyone.

I just learned that the uttp folks on youtube are CHILDREN. I knew they were trolls and I hate youtube won't let me block them but CHILDREN???

Ughhh that's a mess

i wake up and learn that ipad addicted, ragebaiting 9 year olds have discovered bluesky.

here's a moderation list that has hopefully blocked all of these uttp officer type accounts, but i also recommend reporting them first because they tend to post shock images/videos.

All this shit is like "airport security used to only be a problem for transsexuals and ppl who look too 'foreign' but now they're gonna start targeting real humans too and we can't have that"

I hear "TSA may have to start closing airports" and I think hey fun fact you know airports predate TSA by a good century and they weren't closed that whole time.

Apparently there’s another No Kings protest around the corner— these protests need to get angrier and have an actual goal or endgame to them. It’s nice to see people show up in such big numbers, but it’s a first step. I want to see that organizational potential applied in a more substantial way

The cards see all.

My old person trait is that I believe single player games should still be able to be played without requiring an internet connection.

My old person trait is that websites should always work in a web browser instead of forcing me to download an app to access it. And the app should be optional.

One of the best skills you can develop as a creative working with clients and getting feedback is understanding how to translate the "note behind the note." (I saw someone on bluesky once say that. truth)

you dont have to take the surface note, but you do have to understand where its coming from.

Look at that face. I would give that face anything. Photo from my collection, ca. 1940s.

i love both my beautiful daughters

okay maybe i'll make posters

if ICE is actually going to be out there thugging people at airports SF conventions and stuff better start prepping the whole virtual attendance thing again because there's whole swathes of panelists who aren't going to want to do flights for a bit

At this point I want people to start swinging at the board meetings because sometimes you gotta talk it out with your fists.

But also this is why I shouldn't be in a mjor leadership position

Well the library drama has escalated. People in admin are visibly pushing back against the bad actors on the board and that's gonna make things interesting for the foreseeable future

The game industry’s obsession with graphics is so funny because every other year there will be some breakout hit called “Stick Figure Mansion” or some shit that outsells 90% of the market and runs on a toaster

I am not saying you need to embrace him as an amazing ally, but people need to be able to change their minds for the better. Obviously time will tell if he does make up for his previous association and position, but it is genuinely good that a high profile person in her orbit changed.

I think Trump's biggest weakness as a politician is that he thinks he can just post his way out of a crisis, and has very carefully curated an information environment that never challenges this, which makes him completely useless when shit hits the fan.
