I’m pretty sure the Tilikum Crossing isn’t even halfway there, but I haven’t checked in a while, and I also don’t know if that’s even a fair comparison. But hey, go Seattle!

💯. If you’re existentially tired of feeling like a threat for being a man — even if you think you’re “one of the good ones” — there is a way to fix this! All you have to do is make a lifelong commitment to shutting down men’s cruel, exploitative, and violent speech and actions. Hold men to account.

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

It's hard for me to differentiate "games that shaped who I am as a human" from "games that shape my tastes as a maker of games." It's a blurry line. But these are all games that helped me understand myself in important and discrete ways.

This was the year I officially transitioned from being primarily an Orioles fan to a Mariners fan and I'm feeling a sensation deeply akin to that "they're the same picture" meme. A tale of two teams, each inexplicably squandering historic momentum and talent. A dadaist masterpiece of a season

Clark’s opposition to Green’s proposal to condition funding to Urban Alchemy after over 70 complaints — including complaints of sexual assault of the vulnerable people in their care — REALLY seems like it should be disqualifying The complaints have more than doubled in the months since this vote.

Just to echo this point because I think a lot of Portlanders aren't aware: Your first $25 donated is matched 10:1. Even if you can only give $5 to a candidate, that puts $55 into their campaign funds. It's a tool — a rare one in our culture — to make local elections more equitable. Let's use it!

Anecdotally: I-5 being closed pushed some folks to transit, and this is a brilliant example of a) why we need to just demolish the inner eastside part of I-5 and b) why when we do that it will be just fine.

I saw a post earlier saying I need to integrate AI into my workflow as an artist or I'll be left behind. Sure I've seen dozens of posts like this before, but I'm really seriously thinking about it now and I am at a total loss as to what it would possibly do to improve my work.

It’s worth reading this post in full in order to understand the values driving Garriott. This sense of pride or even restorative justice(?) that people like Gariott evoke when talking about using AI to do things they can’t personally, and without hardship, do themselves is profoundly sad to me.

If you think games are escapism it is because you don't truly grasp what the artform is. You should be mocked relentlessly until you pick up a book or reflect as to why (and who) told you such nonsense.
