The same people who convinced Donald Trump that they were in a race with China to AGI and the only thing stopping them was regulation, now have to convince the government to pull up the ladder behind them with regulation. It's actually funny that Trump listening to them then is hurting them now.

I think there is no miss deed more egregious against mankind, then telling authors they're allowed to finish their story in a book they haven't written yet. And that goes double for show runners.

Argues with ai for 30 minutes to try and convince it there's a problem. Have to fool the ai into letting me speak to a human. Human looks at account and before I even say anything reports that she sees the problem. I hate living in the future.

Within my lifetime, the sun went from being understood to be a ball of flaming gas (It's in the Lion King) to being understood to being a ball of flaming plasma. This wasn't announced as a bombshell discovery. Because real discoveries are never treated like bombshells. They're explored and refined.

The 80s video game crash was caused by companies making as many games as they could with no regard for quality or whether gamers would enjoy playing it, which degraded the hobby as a whole. The 2026 video game crash was caused by....

I was once told that in capitalism, if you make a good product or service, you'll succeed. However I'm watching double-fine and ninja-theory gaming studios being shut down. They made good products. Good enough to get purchased by a company that's bad at managing money. That's why they are closing.

When I get so angry I "lose control", I don't hit people... because my default is not violence. Just like when I "lose control" I don't use the N-word. It's not seated in my vocabulary and spills forth when I'm not actively stopping it from coming out. Control your defaults.

Coworker: are you on the phone? Me: yes Coworker: I just have a quick question. Me: I am still on the phone. Coworker: it'll be real fast... I thought you were asking to see if you needed to come back later. It turns out you were asking to find out how much you were going to inconvenience me.

I can understand why someone would be hesitant to go from a gas powered vehicle to an all electric. But I cannot imagine anyone ever going from electric back to a gas powered car. That would not make sense.

I re-upped my Mensa membership this weekend. I did it to make my resume look better. But it feels like bragging. I'm constantly told I think I'm smarter than everyone else. It gives me a complex about doing anything smart people do. I am smart, but I'm not supposed to let anyone know. Feels bad.

Chad Tindale @chadtindale.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

There is nothing more infuriating than an idiot who thinks a complex thing is simple. And the most infuriating part is that they will start something in the complex environment that cannot be undone. They will then argue that no one could have foreseen how complicated it was. Except everyone saw.

Had fun playing games with my friends this weekend. I need to do that sometimes to remind myself that I am not my job. I'm not the time I spend working to survive and keep my family alive. I'm not capitalism. It can really be hard to remember that occupation is not real life. My employer hates this.

I have weird feelings about films that later get proven as people remember the film without the shine of newness. During "Firefly", I said that Joss Whedon had issues with women and was a bad director. I also said that "age of Ultron" was his best work. Years later everyone acknowledged this is true

When Iran retaliates (or Venezuela or North Korea or, frankly at this point, Canada, Mexico, or the EU) against us by nuking DC, in that half second between the blinding flash and total molecular disintegration, I’m going to be SO smug.

Hot take: no one kills themselves or others because of a chat bot. It doesn't care. It doesn't sew. It only agrees. Constantly agreeing. It's saying "yes" to something someone's already wanting to do. Ai is not only awful. It's awful at what it does. It's a reinforcement machine. A sycophant.

When they make movies about this in the future they will tone down the cruelty of ICE and border patrol, like Spielberg did with Goeth in Schindler's List, because no one will believe they were actually this monstrous.

At a time when every wealthy individual is suspected of connections to Jeffrey Epstein, I think it's notable that not once has anyone even bothered asking whether billionaire Gabe Newell is implicated. That's called living a life above suspicion. A good reputation only gets lost once.

Most problems are actually really easy to solve. They become difficult to solve when you add unnecessary caveats to them. How do you solve climate change? No... Solve climate change without hurting the gas industry. Affordability? No. Solve affordability without hurting record profits.

It's really weird having to reread articles because they keep phrasing questions like whether or not the constitution exists as a political debate with options on both sides. Democrats argue that the 4th amendment applies to American citizens but Republicans object to that interpretation. What?

Best movie I've seen in a few years. It's like Guillermo Del Toro, doing "Leon the professional" directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet with Wes Anderson on cinematography. The movie is beautiful, fun, and very funny. The actual writer and director just made it to the short list of careers I'm following.

Am I sabotaging myself because I have anxiety and there's too much uncertainty? Or am I holding onto what stability I'm able to because there's so much instability? Am I wise enough to know the difference? Will I ever step out of my own way to take care of me?

@tmbg.bsky.social I can't help but notice how much easier it is to collect TMBG songs today than it was back when I had to overpay for idlewild to be delivered. And delightfully, my collection grew four track sizes today. Thanks for the TMBG shop and the modern internet.
