With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Jon Bois @jonbois.bsky.social holy shit. i was just watching the cavs-raptors game and the ball fell out of the bottom of the basket. it was with 4:04 left in the second quarter if you can get your hands on a replay. the guy shot the ball, it went through the hoop, and then it straight up fell out of the net and onto the floor 2:11 PM • Apr 18, 2026 Everybody can reply v 57 reposts 6 quotes 6 quotes 814 likes 4 saves

re: LRT: imo the only good Omelas riff is “WHY DON’T WE JUST KILL THE KID IN THE OMELAS HOLE” and that’s because that one is a riff on the riffs. A meta-riff

"I hate being thought so little of that I must be talked down to, that I must have the message repeated to me three times until it sticks. Not just for my pride, but for what it says about the author’s approach to fiction (and ours generally, as an ecosystem that lauds these books)."

The Supreme Court ruled that nobody is a U.S. citizen

Chief Justice Roberts stated “No person can be in this country. We all have to leave. Now.” The judges packed up their robes and are getting on a boat

I knit or crochet during meetings with my project in frame for precisely this reason. Now everyone can see that I am merely using the fidget tool that produces fabric

Ah, no Spirit Island then (great game but pretty complex). But Forbidden Desert is great, as long as everyone has a way to read the rules and can distinguish player tokens (they’re the same shape but different colors, so you might wanna swap in Monopoly tokens)

also because Zeiat is consistently doing bizarre shit and then acting like that was a totally normal thing to do. Just like computer

I name my spinning rust drives after libraries or historically significant collections of written works

the computer itself is named Zeiat after my favorite alien in fiction

let me know if you want recs for low-vision-friendly co-op board games; there’s a few I’ve played with my friends (one of whom sees 20/400 with correction)

I’d heard that from others but you’re more likely to be correct than them! I’m sold

How is it without the SCP stuff? Because I feel like you’d need paragraphs and paragraphs of backstory to get an effect similar to “682 is fucking dead”
