I’m used to the progressive Bluesky discourse every pundit is always complaining about, which means that I got absolutely blindsided by the total inaneness of woke/anti-woke Instagram comment battles

The 99% Invisible episode about The Power Broker with special guest Brennan Lee Mulligan was the Avengers Endgame of my weird little nerd interests

I’ve been using Substack Notes lately for early morning scrolling, looking for cool essays or hot takes, you know the usual. This morning I woke up and found out I’d said something the Nazis disagreed with

Respectfully, this is a stretch trying to connect two big problems of the Current Moment. These issues deserve to be spotlighted by themselves without needing to be bound together into an omnicause

Academia was so much better before Woke. Sure, David Hume was never able to secure an academic job because he might have been an atheist. But at least no one made him use the singular "they"

I’m so glad we’ve formed a diverse community of academics, journalists, furries, human rights lawyers and transgender software engineers that yet seems to consistently exclude Atlantic writers. Truly the bit of all time

"Oh, I didn't want *this* much racism & xenophobia! I just wanted a little bit, the fun kind! I just wanted to say 'retard', I didn't want a eugenicist in charge of health policy!" Oh? You didn't want this? Yeah, fuck off. Fuck off to space. Fuck off to eternity. Fuck off & never stop fucking off.

This is an insane thing to write about game development. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/a...

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation.
After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

@ifbookspod.bsky.social I’m enough of a loyal listener of the podcast that Ross Douthat’s “college reading list” is making me physically cringe

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com

The Mario 64 intro scene with a letter from Princess Peach, reading:
Dear Mario. Please come to the castle. I'm down bad. Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool (Peach)

CATS from the video game Zero Wing (the All Your Base Are Belong To Us game), saying: "I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is Futile"

Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, saying to Richter "Get out of my house"

The transportation advisor from SimCity 2000, saying "YOU CAN'T STAY ON TWITTER! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!"

leaf blowers are perfect avatars of capitalism - incredibly loud, polluting replacements for effective traditional methods that "solve" the problem of leaves and debris by blowing them into the street
