This is superb. Wayne Horton may have invented a new genre of journalism. This is a deeply informed, wonderfully enlightening essay on how to behave in bad faith negotiations, as well as a perfect reading of Carney's manner and thinking, and it's satire. It is explanatory parody. And it's right.
Littke something to pin on Insta after the wave of A/I slop from this weekend

What movie do you consider "perfect"?
It's why it's the best one.
Now, this is a cultural movement I can get behind!

More kids dying on Trump's watch while the cheeto pedo in chief does nothing to stop systemic gun violence in American schools. What's wrong, Donnie, you only care about the kids you get to fuck? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...
Haven't played since NYT bought it but had to today and... Yes. Well. Moving on.
It's a brilliant book that I can't recommend highly enough if you're looking for any insight into the industry. Reviewed it way back in 2016 - it's definitely one of 5 must-read video game books!
Ffs. Time to cancel Proton now. At this rate I'll be back to usb drives instead of cloud and sending mail by pigeon.
I really want to fall in love with @destinythegame.bungie.net again. But I want to be a powerful guardian pitted against challenging foes. I don't want to be a glowing ball of hard to control light.
5 minutes into the new season and I'm done.
WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.
Stop using WeTransfer.
Woof, @hitpoints.bsky.social. Yes.
Even the staunchest of Xbox fans and Phil stans need to understand this.
This is devastating to those who enjoy the fruits of this industry, and even moreso to the thousands of dedicated, gifted, talented workers who have brought so much joy to so many.
Well done. This is great news.
seeing people hit by the layoffs today who have worked in the industry for DECADES. one guy had worked on fucking STAR WARS GAMES FOR THE SNES, another had been at blizzard since starcraft.
that kind of continual experience in the industry is like gold dust, and MS are just throwing it in the bin
Bookmark this and come back in 3, 5, 10 years time. You'll see just how bang on the money @rajio.bsky.social here.
hey microsoft you gotta make games in order to play them on whatever the hell you’re gonna call an xbox now, you know that right
We thank you for your service.
That's lush.
Digitally illustrated graphic with big, bold, black text in the center reading "trans lives are more important than harry potter". Two cats with alternating colours of the trans flag lay above the top left and bottom right of the text, turning it pink & blue where they cross over.
happy pride month!
Stylised headshot painting of a pale half-elf woman with slicked back hair, black - the same shade as her lipstick and eye makeup. She wears a grey wrap tunic, a black earcuff in the shape of leaves, several silver earrings and a little smirk.
Painting of a red skinned Man'ari woman with corrupted green eyes and a condescending look. She wears gold jewellery with green gems, including cuffs on her horns
Two painted portraits of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor. One is in colour and one in black and white. He is smiling in both, one more subtle and one beaming
Painterly portrait of Matt Mercer against a brown background. He has his brows raised in a soft, knowing smile
It's my birthday 🤗 As per tradition, I'm humbly asking for some reposts of this or any other of my art today ❤️
So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.
Please read and share this thread.
You had me at pastries. There is no higher art form.
New PB in Geometry Wars 2 every time I play, improving on my best from 17 years ago. And my 40s are long in my rear view.
To all my trans and enby followers in America and The UK. What is happening to you is inhumane, unjust and cruel beyond words.
History will brand these evil people as monsters who deserve no celebration.
Just please stick around to see that history written.
