I'll do a new post once this year's server is live but MAYOR BONES ANNUAL GHOST TOWN PUMPKIN FESTIVAL returns TOMORROW!! Here's some notes from last year's shenanigans, enjoy! It's truly a thing of wonder from @adamgryu.bsky.social and friends (The folks behind A Short Hike) See you there!

Before October is over, you owe it to yourself to visit Mayor Bones Annual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival

Hey so it's been two years since Eggbug went read-only. What are some lessons we learned about race demographics, moderation and financials? What's the current social media landscape like? Fun thing to be writing about the day I found out the head of trust and safety on bluesky has blocked me lmfao

I really want it to succeed! but it's kinda wild how the new posters for this film shove the protagonists into the background and put this character who like...I don't even remember from the trailer up into the front

I saw this horrible linkedin lunatic post a while back about how a manager was proud of having fired anyone that didn't complain about a claude outage because to him, that meant they were being inefficient by not using it anyway, so if you have a shitty boss there's an outage right now

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

Just saw that @kellymerka.bsky.social's great Sable piece is available today, give it a read! Very thoughtful breakdown on how the game's world reflects its history and creates a tangible sense of time having passed on this whole planet: unwinnable.com/2026/09/28/t...

you cannot convince me that there is surprise to be found in AI tech circles having issues with consent the technology's core conceit involved stealing from the world at large to create something that is then forcibly inserted into every aspect of life with as little 'opt out' as possible

Back in the old days nazis weren’t allowed and people posted a lot of creative or ambitious long-form things and there were even some really innovative uses of the html/css editing to create things like games or interactive posts and sorry wait I’m thinking of cohost

literally this
Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something. Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.
Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work. Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.

"You won the revolution! Now pick up the pieces and rebuild, oh and you're in orbit around Jupiter" is such a great sales pitch. When this game comes out on Steam (read: escapes from Microsoft timed exclusivity) I'm gonna be real annoying about it (complimentary)

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent

Totally get it. And speaking of, my second rec for chill, repayable game is Beastieball which is a (on paper) a creature collector (which I'm not into!!) but instead of like pokemon battles it's chill 2x2 volleyball great soundtrack, awesome world to explore, heavily anticapitalist lol

Cobalt Core for me, hands down. Space exploration, time loop, great characters, daily challenges if you wrap up all the story stuff. Been playing it regularly for like 4 years now?
