I think he thinks of his work as well made "hyper-toys".

Immigration is good. Good for us, good for the immigrant.

Allowing immigration is not a nice thing we do for immigrants. It is merely ceasing to do a bad thing to immigrants.

I wish it were more like 'contrive situations that let people be silly' instead of "just lie".

Not entirely on topic but I wish people understood that a lot of what "agents" supposedly do would be almost trivially easy if these companies just had open APIs like they used to! Instead we're burning the planet so LLMs can crawl through websites and apps, its crazy!

ok so the box labeled 'improv' has improv in it, that makes sense. the box labeled 'ttrpg' has... improv in it. ok. sure. why not. but the box labeled 'kink' must have..! also improv. fuck. one of these must have something else in it. hand me the box labeled 'polyamory.'

Closest I could find was this ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citation... - seems like the vacuum itself isn't so much an issue as it is being starved of moisture and CO2. The search is really cluttered by studies on post-harvest vacuum exposure to kill microbes.

I’m officially a work of art 💅🖼️✨

Reminder: "separate the art from the artist" is about literary analysis. It means your interpretation of a work is not invalidated by the author saying "nuh-uh". It does not mean "you can consume any media without guilt".

You are responsible for your choices. A misused phrase doesn't change that.

If you've never seen the intro to Dirty Pair: Project Eden, you may be surprised to discover that it's one of the most beautiful things ever animated.

The year is 2026. Someone dumped their collection of a few 1990s floppies containing ZZT games. Out of those, even now, we found two that were not preserved.

Back up your ZZT floppies and hard disks today, if you haven't yet! I will happily sort them for you.

I like the idea! Maybe the "every other page" was too off-putting. I'm imagining like, in the corners of some pages, there's an NPC relevant in some way to the surrounding content. Page about items, here's a merchant that connects you to some other parts of the world you may not be thinking about.

I may as well share with you the big boy version of this that all the math Ph.D students spread around a couple years ago

Could you pass a message to whoever is doing the RSS feed to include these images "above the fold" in that feed? I think that opportunity to recognize the product visually is important, but the RSS feed is just a bunch of headlines that get released in batches.

Someone let me score a metroidvania kplzthx

I feel crazy because I remember us all getting over trying to decide art was "high" or "low" when I was a kid.

Tapping the sign

As I've gotten older I've realized how many people, especially young men, really deeply believe that art has objective "goodness" or "quality", and that's the only thing that matters, and differences in tastes are people being *mistaken*. So it becomes a point of pride; to be "right".

From what I've seen, the actual stereotypical trans woman looks like a high school art teacher. I think we should lean into that stereotype more in our media because it'd be funny

Both current copyright law and AI training practices come down to the same basic abuses of credit and consent.

some of my games are now available for purchase on DriveThruRpg, as an experiment! we'll see if the people on that site want to roleplay being a princess or a teenager

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.
