Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

Today in "things that just work" - this library for generating concave colliders for meshes in #Unity: github.com/SarahWeiii/C... Honestly, it came with a guide, I followed the guide, this bowl now has a nice concave collider structure. Beautiful 🙏

i'm thinking we, as a species, lost the plot. don't know where. but if we're talking about AI rights while the rights of trans people, pregnant people, immigrants, and Black and brown people are daily eroded, we messed up somewhere.

🧵 I have inattentive #ADHD. This means I forget things and my working memory isn't great. Before I was diagnosed I was worried I had young onset dementia and it was a massive relief to get my diagnosis. I have a lot of systems in place to help me remember and live my life! Here are some things:

Even if it is, it's not the thing itself but how it makes you feel. The reason grappling hooks worked for a while is because people associated with freedom and open movement. You could have had the same feeling with a jetpack or parkour, it was never the grappling hook itself!

Your games hook is "why would someone want to play this?", not (by default) its USP It's the thing that in a 6-second trailer makes people go "oooh I want to know more". If you can't articulate that, then you're going to struggle to find what makes the game interesting to the average person

What's your go to song when you're feeling melancholy? Generally, I know I'm in that kind of mood whenever I want to listen to The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver by Elbow (which I would heavily recommend listening to if you haven't 👀) tidal.com/track/165659...

It's just going to end up with people ignoring the impact ADHD has, and a lots of people are going to end up feeling misunderstood and abandoned, just like when the awful Panorama episode came out a while ago

Adam Clewes-Boyne @chaosandcode.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
The fact that @channel4.bsky.social would air a derogatory and ignorant "documentary" like The Great ADHD Myth is exactly why I built @adhdingames.bsky.social, because ADHD is constantly under-attack from people who do not understand and want to blame us instead inews.co.uk/culture/tele... #ADHD

I have ADHD - this is what The Great ADHD Myth gets so wrong
The stereotyping and dismissals in Channel 4's frustrating new documentary will help no one

“ADHD didn’t exist back then either!” Oh word? Grandpa looked like a mummy at age 48 from a diet of over the counter amphetamines, coffee, and a carton a week unfiltered purely out of love of the game?

Posted it on LinkedIn, but might as well say it here too - I had a bit of work fall through, so have some unexpected availability at the moment. If you have any projects/events/research etc that might benefit from a bit of Luke-shaped assistance, then now's a good time to drop me a line 🤘

I'm actually fairly heartened to see in normie spaces people talking about JK Rowling honestly and describing her as a motivated bigot that funnels profits into hate crimes. I saw a writer from Variety making it very clear HP funds her hate. It feels like the tide is making a significant turn.
