It seems very silly, but I learned about Japanese internment by watching the film “Snow Falling on Cedars” when I was too old to be learning about this disgusting stain on our history for the first time. We are no better today than we were then, except now we don’t even let them play baseball.

Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

Fraternities exist to shelter and perpetuate revolting behaviors and reward the perpetrators of horrific violence with access to the halls of power where they too will shelter and perpetuate the system that made them. Shut them down.

I love my Disconnected Wife @4shley.bsky.social, which is why I carried her around for the first 15 minutes of Big Walk this evening while she figured out an issue with her headphones.
Big Walk screenshot. A flashlight behind me is throwing my shadow onto a nearby wall, revealing that I am carrying another player (My Disconnected Wife) over my head.

MA has 9 statewide ballot questions this year. Be an informed voter! #mapoli www.progressivemass.com/2026ballot/
This November, Massachusetts will see *9* statewide ballot questions, a historic number. But we’ve got you covered. 

✅VOTE YES ON 1 to expand the public records law to cover the Governor and the Legislature. We’re the only state in the country that doesn’t do that already. Let the sunlight in.

✅VOTE YES ON 2 to enable public defenders to collectively bargain. Every worker deserves to have a union, and public defenders, who are often overworked and underpaid, should be no exception. 

❌VOTE NO ON 3 to prevent private equity billionaires from rigging our election system in their favor. Top-two primaries empower corporate PACs and self-funders, disadvantage grassroots candidates, and turn MAGA voters into election kingmakers. 

✅VOTE YES ON 4 to enable voters to register to vote or update their registration on Election Day. No eligible voter should be turned away due to a clerical error, and this reform is one of the most proven ways to increase voter turnout. 

❌VOTE NO ON 5 to protect our state’s ability to invest in health care, transportation, and public education. The rich would get millions in tax rebates, while the rest of us suffer from underfunded public services. 

⚪VOTE how you want on 6. Question 6 fell shy of our endorsement threshold: our members valued land and water conservation, but were worried about the dedication of existing funds as opposed to new ones. 

✅VOTE YES on 7 to enable more starter homes across the Commonwealth. We have a housing crisis, and large lot size requirements mean fewer homes are able to be built. 

❌VOTE NO on 8 to protect our state’s cannabis laws. We said NO to the war on drugs back in 2016, and we shouldn’t turn back time and destroy local economies. 

✅VOTE YES ON 9 to protect our state’s landmark gun safety law, which cracked down on ghost guns, banned machine gun conversion devices, and strengthened gun violence data collection.

This makes me sad. It is a miracle we got six total seasons of a Daredevil TV show, but they could have done more and they are cowards for not doing more. They could have relaunched the street level characters with this show, built out Luke, Danny, Misty, Colleen... But no, we can't have nice things

Oh my god @kirkhamilton.com and Sam Parrish are doing a podcast about one of my favorite book series, The Vorkosigan Saga, by Lois McMaster Bujold. They're doing SEVENTEEN episodes on this series, which I've been reading since I was a teenager. I love them so much, and you will too!

Sorry, nuance-averse neighborhood FB group, glyphosate *is* the solution to Tree of Heaven. I agree that Roundup shouldn't be used at industrial scale, but it's a tool. ToH will regrow from the smallest root fragment, and will panic if you cut it. You have to poison it. Grow up.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.
