It's C R A Z Y here. Their sinks look like our toilets and their toilets look like our sinks and everyone keeps yelling "no no no" and waving their arms around. Crazy!

It's so interesting how these Al guys expressly seek to create the ultimate echo-chamber while constantly accusing anyone who doesn't like their products of existing in one 🙃

And further more! Becky was my most favorite boss in the industry. She is a true artist and visionary with an uncanny precision to analyze audio needs and address revisions. I was lucky to work with her because she was the biggest reason I chose to work there.

Data science helps determine who receives betting incentives, but the company has resisted using similar technology to protect gamblers at risk of addiction.

Vaporizing the Halo Studios audio team was dumb. After doing this 17 years, I assure you a group like that is rare. Everyone was at the top of their game while being led by an industry legend.

Microsoft has laid off over 5,000 workers since July. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

thehandbasket.co

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.
