Ok, so the reason why I am in Tokyo is because Xbox is hosting a Forza Horizon 6 event here. They essentially set up a car meet in a car park like in the game. This is absurd. I am having a good time.
This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
It is very weird to be on a work trip and not jet lagged out of my gourd for the event day. I could get used to this. All work trips should be in Japan.
Apple announces new CEO, deliberately slows down old one
Watchdogs say the previous CEO model suspiciously started slowing down immediately after the announcement

There’s ppl on the NDIS for psychosocial conditions where if the supports are withdrawn they will be a threat themselves & others, costing millions in damages. Framing supports as only open to ppl with “profound disability” exposes the stereotypes and prejudices in public understanding of disability
A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them.
Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.
They probably do. You just wouldn’t know because they haven’t infected you
Anyone else find it weird that athletes aren’t allowed to bet on games in case they fix the match, but US politicians are allowed to bet on what happens in a war they started?
Taking from disabled people to give to people in aged care is a cynical political exercise from Labor.
Pitting people who genuinely need care against each other while leaving $17 billion in the pockets of gas corporations they’re too cowardly to tax is shameful.
I have drastically underestimated how far away everything is in Tokyo
I keep hearing that we are expecting an exponential growth in energy use due to AI like it's some phenomenon that we have no control over and it makes me so fucking angry. We don't have to do it!! We can choose not to do this and not to lose all we've gained in the clean energy transition! fuck!!
the NDIS is the only thing in recent history to launch a needless painful ai and get less investment after
Exactly one year ago today:
i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew
Girl, the solution to "the system is exploiting and replacing us" isn't "get a new system that can exploit and replace us". What are we even doing here? You can't fight for women if you're fighting for the technology that will run them out of the workplace.
Video games deserve better film & TV adaptations: the reason behind Alanah Pearce’s new project that aims to bridge the gap between the games industry and Hollywood.
Here’s the lovely chat I had with @alanahpearce.bsky.social via @sifterhq.bsky.social ahead of ALT: GAMES.

If you want to know what all the hype is about on raw denim, you can read my guide over at Man of Many:
we know
Someone should buy it and have their own adventures there
Alas, no. But they can go in the veggie garden
Other foods with short roots would also work, but we've only ever grown strawberries there
It has a bomb shelter, escape tunnels, battlements, a roof you can walk up to and grow strawberries on, giant boiler you can throw whole tree trunks into, lime green home cinema and a few other unusual features.
Do I know anyone who writes about real estate and would like a tip about one of Australia's weirdest houses currently being on the market?
You know too many Australians are going to Japan when Yen is sold out at every major currency exchange in the city
A tweet quoting Trump denying he depicted himself as Jesus, saying he thought the image showed him as a doctor, with a Fox News clip of Trump speaking outside the White House.
If he looked like a doctor, then I looked like a linebacker.
Oh, she had the best time! One of her favourite places. She ran across the food court yelling “LEGOLAND!!! SO EXCITED!!!”
I can deny her nothing
You made the right call
You’ll never guess where I am right now
