I’ve worked on some games. You might have played some of them. I try to make sure they’re good.

It’s been a while since I was on social media with any kind of regularity, and so I really want to scroll insta and see how happy my former social support network is, and I don’t understand why it’s all movie clips, queer comedians (ones I don’t know personally), and ads for curly hair products.

Just had a lot of fun at the Austin FC match, thanks to tickets from a friend. There’s a lot going on, but it’s nice to have some uncomplicated fun. But seriously, lads, what was going on in the first part of the second half?! Good recovery tho.

We also looked at some FSA primary sources and this one really grabbed students' attention. It's a diagram that shows the arrangement of members of the Boston Anti-Man-Hunting League as they would surround a man-hunter, concealing him until he consented to release the person he was trying to kidnap
This diagram, explained by a note written by Henry I. Bowditch, shows the arrangement of members of the Boston Anti-Man-Hunting League as they would surround a man-hunter, concealing him until he consented to release the person he was attempting to kidnap. The League was a secret society founded in Boston in 1854 to resist the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. The diagram, in pencil and watercolor on brown paper, places the slave hunter in the center (SH), surrounded by the speaker of the committee (S), a member to take hold of the hunter's head (C), two members to take hold of the arms (A1 and A2) and two for the feet (F1 and F2), and twelve additional members to form an outer circle to ward off intruders while the committee conveyed the victim to safety. Bowditch's note continues, "One plagued in this way would not invite others to come & run the same risk of annoyance."

I’m gonna say this one louder for the folks in the back: The fact that Texan progressives’ progress has been limited does not mean that they don’t exist or they have given up. It is a *hard* battle here, for a lot of reasons, one of which is how little support we get from outside the state.

Tonight, Pete Buttigieg rallied for Johnny Garcia and Katy Padilla Stout in San Antonio TX 🙌⬇️ The GOP gerrymandered the Texas map to make sure they win these seats. But the Democratic candidates there are so strong, and their GOP opponents are terrible. So Dems have a real chance to win 👏👏👏

In the spirit of recognizing my own contributions to a system that rewards conflict over collaboration, I do want to send a big ol’ thank you to everyone standing with Austin and against ICE, wherever they are inflicting themselves today. Together, we can beat this.

“Too many ICE goons are from Texas.” Sure. One is too many. “The majority of Texans voted for this.” False. Barely a majority of Texans vote. Why are y’all like this? Do you just not want people to try?

ICE shot a man in the back in our neighborhood today. We will not be silent. We are Texan, and Texans don’t back down.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

More rough news for the video game industry today. It’s been painful to watch good devs put out of a job over and over for the past few years. It’s frustrating and angering and depressing.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

I’m wearing an event shirt today. It’s a medium. The guy who handed it to me told me that it shrinks in the wash. He was worried that he might offend me. By giving me a *medium*. I’ve been this size for about 6mo based on the data. It’s like walking around in a different body at times.

Memed screenshot of Captain Kirk from Star Trek TOS The Original Series. He's got a jaunty little smile, with his elbows bent at the hip, hands out in front of him. The image has been edited so that Kirk is wearing a pair of sassy white cat-eye sunglasses. Also, tropical drink emojis have been added to the picture on top of his hands, like he's double fisting these drinks. Instead of the normal Starfleet delta on his chest there is a red heart emoji with a rainbow inside of it. There is a trans pride flag and a progress pride flag hanging behind him. Kirk looks like he's ready for a gay pride beach party with his boyfriends and all his best buds.

However, the judge noted the center did not lose any ticket sales because the concert was free, “and the entire performance was canceled as a result of multiple artists canceling, so the center did not incur costs for staff or other performers.” ☝️ solidarity works www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/u...

Chief Justice Roberts will be in the history books alongside Fuller and Taney. I couldn’t really argue with the logic in Shelby County, even knowing that the consequences would be severely regressive. The ruling yesterday is one of the more blatant dogwhistles in recent history.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.
