Reinventing how a thousand year old instrument is played!
Hello! I still badly need work in narrative design or game writing etc. I’ve been in games for 20 years and I’m responsible for the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden. I will take on full-time or contract work but I really need to pick something up soon. Please get in touch if you have/know of something
Always true
I would like to see national sports publication cover the story of the mid-90s Mariners relief pitcher nicknamed “The Sheriff” who is now doing real work in 2026 to protect his neighbors from ICE. Inspiring stuff.
When Cassidy called me a couple of weeks ago to ask my help in getting Democrats to vote for him, I said that would be impossible unless he challenged RFK more. He said that I should watch the kind of questions I ask him in committee, suggesting he routinely grills him. Eh, not so much.

And a 1,000 member House of Representatives.
And 16 new Justices on the Supreme Court
Book about how engagement metrics and the Internet killed journalism titled “Tragedy of the Comments”
Can relatively easily achieve this with various ideas like super districts where top vote-getters represent the district. Not like their local offices for constituents get much in person attention now, anyway.
This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)
AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).
how it feels to say "sprezzatura"
just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
We do have native heirloom varieties. I am growing white mirliton right now. I started with 3, 2 sprouted and 1 made it through the freeze. www.mirliton.org/2021/01/08/u...
Content so valuable they can't afford a room...
Software is increasingly enshittified, and both developers and other people are telling people just to use AI chatbots or whatever to get the functionality previously available or that someone would have properly designed. Some of it is people being lazy, but a lot is things that have been lost.
Back in 1978, when I was just 23 years old, I traveled with my best friend from Istanbul to Kathmandu — and almost 50 years later, my journal from that trip became a NYT Best Seller.
Pick up a paperback edition of “On the Hippie Trail” today — and stow away with me on the adventure of a lifetime!
I was going to say hogshead cheese but he already cornered the aspic, which is close enough, TBH. Even though I cook and serve mirliton, I don't think anyone really LIKES mirliton itself. It's almost like there was nothing better to put the shrimp in or with.
I am not the first to mention this but a pocket square is supposed to be mostly hidden in your pocket, why would u have a First amendment pocket square
For decades, economists gave short shrift to the idea of monopsony — a power employers can have to suppress wages. Now a wave of research suggests it's everywhere, and a new book argues it's key to understanding today's inequality. n.pr/4e0RHRi
I'm sure it will have to be inspected for damage.

So many simple tasks have become so awkward in plain old software with things being buggy or removed or walled off or just hard to find or use, that it is easier to tell people to use expensive AI to overcome lack of quality and fitness for purpose than to design and ship better software.
These are some fucked up motherfuckers
Forbes is gamifying news about the horrific mass shooting in Shreveport, LA this weekend, encouraging readers to bet on the likelihood of gun regulation with fake money via its "ForbesPredict" feature.

The anniversary of the BP oil disaster feels under-observed to me. It was such a huge, impactful, horrible event for everyone in my family, and so many people I know. Definitely on my personal list of “where were you when you heard about this” events.

Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.
