You preserve the streamlined Easy, Medium, Hard paradigm. As you cycle through them, the graph updates showing you how the graph works. "Customize" difficulty just gives you more knobs to fiddle. Developer gets to suggest paths through their game while facilitating customization and accessibility.

My ideal scenario is a four-axis graph: Dexterity Repetition Completion Time With Easy, Medium and Hard being presets of those four.

I'm honestly aghast. It's such a fundamentally weird idea. I'm struggling to think of something else that is similarly so almost-intimate. I don't even want to necessarily have breakfast with everyone I already know!

Getting a US work visa was one of the most difficult hurdles for my pro wrestling journey. I’ve been scratching my head for years on how I could help others with theirs The solution was surprisingly to build a very popular Canadian based wrestling promotion and throw A LOT of money at the problem.

Only around 40% of rush hour traffic at Bloor and Shaw in Toronto is made up of cars. Before the bike lanes on Bloor, over 80% of traffic was cars. Now more commuters pass through the intersection, although raw number of cars has decreased. If you build it, they will come.

We also looked at some FSA primary sources and this one really grabbed students' attention. It's a diagram that shows the arrangement of members of the Boston Anti-Man-Hunting League as they would surround a man-hunter, concealing him until he consented to release the person he was trying to kidnap
This diagram, explained by a note written by Henry I. Bowditch, shows the arrangement of members of the Boston Anti-Man-Hunting League as they would surround a man-hunter, concealing him until he consented to release the person he was attempting to kidnap. The League was a secret society founded in Boston in 1854 to resist the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. The diagram, in pencil and watercolor on brown paper, places the slave hunter in the center (SH), surrounded by the speaker of the committee (S), a member to take hold of the hunter's head (C), two members to take hold of the arms (A1 and A2) and two for the feet (F1 and F2), and twelve additional members to form an outer circle to ward off intruders while the committee conveyed the victim to safety. Bowditch's note continues, "One plagued in this way would not invite others to come & run the same risk of annoyance."

The people who are going to dismiss "legit racism" because of "stuff like this" were never going to accept whatever argument you present, regardless. Again, my point is simply that between "yeah, that's probably racist" and "there's *no* way that's racist", the latter is more of a leap.

Ovaltine Tranzac @elvedin.officialawesome.com · 19/09/2026
Is it incontrovertible? Of course not; that's what a dogwhistle's for. A golf company just ran an ad in North America that either glorifies or is absolutely oblivious to domestic violence, depending on your stance. I think the idea that there's no way this could be racist is the more extreme stance.

Ovaltine Tranzac @elvedin.officialawesome.com · 19/09/2026
I tend to think we're cooked because we find every excuse to refuse to call something racist until it swears it under oath. Like, yes, I think a Korean photographer could be well-versed in what's going on globally so as to be able to dogwhistle with plausible deniability like this.

You're still making a claim in your third sentence that I haven't been able to confirm or deny. Even if we grant the claim, it wasn't limited in distribution so the suggestion of "it was just the Asian office, they didn't know!" is pretty thin. At *best*, a North American office signed off on this.

Do you have a source for this dubious "Asian marketing department" claim that I've seen floating around? It was posted (and is still up as of *right now*) on their primary Threads profile.

I don't know how to say this without sounding like an idiot, but I have had enough success with the "eye-rolling sleep hack" that I feel compelled to mention it. Also it's very low stakes re: effort so it's worth a shot.

macklemore gets a lot of flack for being corny because for awhile being corny used to be the worst thing an artist could be. but what ed sheeran did is the worst kind of artist today, one who doesn’t stand for anything except the belief that he has values. this is the new era of sellout

my actual attitude about AI right now is that it's really useful for software dev but we have to find practices that mitigate the intellectual and material / environmental harms before we uncritically adopt it, and that means engaging with critique

one of my least favourite leftist trends is people deciding on some moral stance as an individual and then telling people if they disagree they are ‘crossing a picket line’ there’s something so neoliberal about conflating an organised workplace with ~online vibes~

1/6 A/I may be ending. The story is nowhere near over. For twenty-five years, #AutisticiInventati showed what it could mean for movements to build and control their own communications infrastructure. Its loss should not send everyone searching for the next single service to replace it.
Alt text: Poster-style graphic on a black background reading, “A/I IS ENDING. SO WHAT DO WE BUILD NOW?” in large cream and red block letters. In the center is a screenshot-like view of the Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub, or BASH, showing its colorful pixel-art logo and simple text-based NomadNet site. Along the left are the phrases “Publish local,” “Mirror everything,” “Learn the tools,” “Support independent media,” and “Build together.” Text on the right says one collective can be shut down, but a thousand projects cannot, and calls for people to control their own communications. Mountain, forest, radio-tower, and DIY zine-style illustrations frame the page. Across the bottom, large text reads, “WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER A/I. WE NEED A THOUSAND SERVERS,” followed by a note that Sabot is building a living guide to autonomous media and infrastructure, especially for small and rural projects.
