On our way to lax to go on a weeklong trip and our uber driver is asking me how much we enjoyed our time in LA and if we would come back - I can’t believe I give off tourist energy (I can actually but it hurts)

Turned a big corner at work this week, feels like I’ve officially been here long enough to start answering questions easily with the information I’ve gathered. It’s always rough starting out at a new studio when you’re asked a question and it just highlights how much you still have to learn.

Started the Bit by Bit audiobook by Andrew Ervin @andrewervin.bsky.social and I’m getting a little emo at hearing our young little industry studied like the other art forms! And also like the tech history it is!!! What a cool budding and also incredibly old and established industry I work in!!!

This is one of the most rewarding programs I have ever done and I credit a lot of the good stuff that happened to me to this program (and also my hard work! But the program also definitely helped me work hard and work smart!)

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The Bible mentions helping the poor thousands of times, and yet not once does it mention Jira Sprint Planning, so think carefully on that before you schedule all these mandatory meetings.

If you’re going to GDC, here are some tips: Don’t try to get someone drunk. Don’t spike anyone’s drink. Don’t touch anyone without explicit permission. Don’t assault anyone. You will be found out and there will be consequences.

Today we're publishing a monster feature that dives deep into the initial six weeks over Elon Musk's government takeover. Our entire newsroom came together to help make this story happen. Read this culmination of our blood, sweat, and tears:

Inside Elon Musk’s ‘Digital Coup’

Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI.

One thing I don’t think Bluesky has replicated yet from Twitter was the experience of feeling an earthquake in Ca but not being sure until you looked it up on Twitter to see if others had also felt it LOL
