image from inside Artemis II text: i need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one's late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like.
“Double Haters” — voters who hold a negative view of both parties, roughly a quarter of the public. That group currently prefers Democrats in the midterms by 31 points. For comparison in 2016 and 2024, they broke for Trump.
I think Double Haters determine elections.
Cool! Bought!
The bar is: I select a destination address while sitting in my driveway. I push a button. My car drives safely and reasonably on streets, highways, and parking lots. My car parks itself at its destination. I supervise but do not drive.
I do that every day with FSD at a cost if $100/mo.
They win because of Full Self Driving. Its incomparably better to any other system available in the US. The Chinese options aren't available in the US and probably never will be. FSD is the only reason to buy a Tesla but it's the best reason to buy new car.
I thank the organization for completing this project and publishing the results. I hope you will do it again in 6 months or a year, and then make it a regular event. It will be very interesting to see this data series over time.
Excellent snapshot in time of tabletop designer opinions about AI. I hope the @ttgda.bsky.social keeps running this survey annually.

I just wrote 17 pages of advice on why founders should use C Corporations, not S Corporations or LLCs for their ventures.
And this is a book where each chapter is supposed to be short and breezy!
Did you know that the personal capital gains rate on dividends up to $94k is ZERO PERCENT?
@georgetakei.bsky.social unfortunately I think at least 30% of the population voted for and wants the government to deport our neighbors and shoot them in the streets if they don't go or shoot people who try to stop the deportations. We're kidding ourselves if we don't acknowledge that truth.
Watching @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social perform the rituals of his religion in fellowship with others during Ramadan has been inspiring. It's great to see someone who clearly actually believes what they espouse and doesn't see their faith as an onramp to grifting their community.
Profound idea

Why does the "Discover" tab show me ANYTHING from accounts I am already following?
Shouldn't it be the place I go to discover new content?
When you are starting a new business the lure of X is powerful.
If I just decide to support a raging edgelord performing fascism I can access my 4k followers again!
Interesting look at an AI workflow in a tabletop RPG context.
Here's a draft manuscript of the Magic: The Gathering roleplaying game from 1996, and I've giving it away as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, with permission from the authors. Not sure how much to ask for. Vanishingly rare. $1,872 raised so far. #mtg #ttrpg
This panel will explore the ways AI may impact our business across many kinds of work - creative, operational, executive, etc.
When Gen Con opens ticketing for events you'll be able to select the seminar for your Gen Con schedule!
For over 30 years I have watched and participated in evolutionary change in the tabletop gaming business but I have never seen anything with the potential to revolutionize the way games are created and published like AI.
From science fiction to hotly debated technology, AI is here. Controversy has followed, paired with utopian visions. One thing lis clear: AI will change the tabletop gaming industry.
I received confirmation today that Gen Con LLC has approved my event submissions for this year's show!
This post is in regards to a presentation I will be hosting on July 30th at 3pm in Meeting Room 8 titled "Five Minutes to Midnight"
A few days ago I conducted a lengthy interview with Wargamer. Over more than an hour we spoke about a wide range of topics centered on AI and the tabletop gaming space. The results of that interview went live today.

If you are a member of the @ttgda.bsky.social I encourage you to complete the AI / Tariffs survey they're currently circulating. You will find information about it in their most recent email communications.

Oh well.
😱
Saying a thing is possible is not the same as saying that thing should be done. Pretending a thing is not possible when it is can be harmful. Being offended that someone thinks something is possible when you don’t is irrational. If they are wrong, they are wrong. Action matters, not hypotheticals.
Launched my new company today. Wide Pacific Horizon will allow me to continue my consulting work in business analysis, strategy, marketing and podcasting.
I am hopeful that Iran buckles and gives up some major concessions. They're weaker than they've been in decades and their ability to threaten violence against Israel is crippled. The mullahs really don't need to be living in caves right now.
Then a lot of people have spent a lot of money and time on something that didn't work out. That happens.
It seems reasonable to me to think about what happens if it changes the world adaptively and not wait until the world is changed to start thinking.
It's either gonna happen or not, quickly.
Who SHOULD it replace? Nobody. It would be best if AI were purely additive or didn't even exist. Who is it almost certainly GOING to replace? All sorts of people in all sorts of jobs. It's a civilizational change moment and we're not discussing it honestly or openly.
I have never advocated for AEG to use AI in the creation of any game product. I wrote and enforced the policies and contracts that established that prohibition at the company. I've never worked on a game designed or developed with AI and I have little interest in doing so.
well Chris, I have never advocated for replacing humans with AI. I wrote and enforced the policies at AEG that prohibit the use of AI in AEG's products. I've never worked on a project designed or developed by AI and I really don't have much interest in doing one.
