Just explained the term "auteur" to a friend and MAN they did not love the concept. Which makes me think I probably did a good job, all things considered.

I think I might have a parasocial relationship blind spot for pets. Like i know that the PERSON i follow absolutely doesn't know i exist irl, but their dog/cat/lizard/whatever who they post pictures of all the time is DEFINITELY my good buddy and you can't convince me i'm wrong about this.

Deep Space Discounts is very cute and good. You can watch all the current episodes in like... one lunch break. Do yourself a favor ;)

Just finished Hemlock and Silver by T. Kingfisher, and it was so lovely! If you grew up on Mercedes Lackey / Tamora Pierce, you'll find a new favorite here. As someone who first encountered her as an artist on Elfwood, meeting her again in a new artform is an unexpected delight. Really great stuff.

I love me an ornately decorated mundane item. Brass candle snuffer with a flower at the end? Tiny sewing scissors shaped like a bird? Iron ward key with a labyrinth for teeth and a scrollwork handle? That's my shit. If my final furniture doesn't all have clawed feet just know I died mad about it.

If you approach me in a public place and ask me what book i'm reading, but then interrupt me to change the topic before i can even finish giving you the elevator pitch, you immediately lose reputation points with my faction.

The thing about living in the Algorithmic Age is a bunch of hitherto fantastical shit is completely normal now. "Is an invisible, inhuman adversary surveilling my every word and deed, and sending me upsetting visions purely to torment me?" Yeah man, pretty much. We just call it ragebait though.

I love seeing the moment our game's magic system clicks with someone, and they start looking around wild-eyed like they're seeing the matrix. It's all connected, baybeeee! Lovely write-up from Rock Paper Shotgun. Go check out our demo, it's free on steam!

ICE wearing bodycams is useless without strong, independent oversight that can be trusted to save/publish footage of ICE murdering people. But everyone involved is either a fascist or a collaborator, so the only footage we'll see is propaganda demonizing protestors. It's abolition or nothing.

I wish they would invent a way to focus on your work that didn't involve chugging energy drinks while listening to 5 different white noise / ambient tracks all playing at once.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Knights of Guinevere is so strong right out of the gate. Corporate dystopia by way of weaponized fandom. An examination of how brands subsume dreams and capitalism makes morals a liability. Generational trauma, neurodivergence rep, class struggle, and eldritch robots? I am all in on this shit.

You can: - Throw hammers to squish spiders - Set your enemies' clothes on fire - Chop down walls to breach a fort - Toss bad guys into a lake - Use wind to weaponize a cactus - Create an icy slip-n-slide - Make it rain on them foes Plus, cool shirts?!

"We need a Misinformation Podcast for our side. We need a Bribery Billionaire for our side. We need an Amoral Demagogue for our side." No. We need honest, earnest, educated leaders to build new institutions we can believe in. "Fighting fire with fire" doesn't help if the house is already burning.

That's my gaaaaaame! It's a real thing you can go play! The team worked hard to ensure the demo shows off a little bit of everything you can do, mechanically. If you like turn-based combat, adaptable magic systems, and detailed weapon/armor/attack-type interactions, check out Never's End at PAX! :D

You probably can't immediately cancel your current credit card in protest. But you CAN call and tell them you're switching to cash for as many daily/weekly purchases as possible until they stop censoring artists. This costs you nothing, but represents a massive loss for them if enough people do it.

A screenshot of a PC Gamer article with the title "Itch.io latest in platforms pressured by credit card companies, as well as activist group Collective Shout—which has successfully caught an award-winning indie (and more) in the crossfire."

A bluesky post that says "Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that, don't we?"

Another person has responded with a list of Visa and Mastercard customer service numbers, saying only "Maybe we could find out."

Contact numbers are as follows:

Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372
Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111
Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911

In case anyone is still confused, or doubting themselves because it seems too far-fetched: If thousands of armed soldiers show up in a city and announce that they intend to "liberate it of its burdensome leadership," that city is being invaded.

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Guys, this is an easy one. If you learn that a creative whose work you enjoy is actively using their money to harm innocent people, you stop giving that person more money. No more cash, clicks, likes, or views. Surely you agree that real people's civil rights are more important than entertainment?
