I procrastinated about getting rid of S**tify for too long a time, but this week I finally switched to Tidal. Playlist transfer was completely painless for a $5 fee, thanks to the third-party service (TuneMyMusic) integrated into Tidal. What I wasn't prepared for is how much better Tidal sounds! 🎶

Very forceful statement by Terry Tao about AI and math. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a... Note, he is not claiming the models aren't real and powerful. He's talking about how that power should be used. This, I believe, is what all AI discussions should center.

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

You'll hear me talk a LOT about Blood Dungeon on Besties on Friday, but this is a deeply special game. It's mindful of your time, skill, and sense of earned progress in a way 99% of Crawlers-likes aren't. It doesn't feel like dopamine gambling! Instead, it looks and feels like DIY art!

No shit, when I was “recovering” from my knockout case of Omicron and beginning treatment for PASC, a researcher looked at my records, saw Moderna there, tapped it with a finger and said, there’s every chance you owe Dolly Parton your life. I loved her before and I love her still.

Aw, thank you, @foxharper.bsky.social ! I have to give Tracy Fullerton proper credit for getting and keeping me oriented to experience goals—it’s so key, to games as an art form, and in their relation to other modes of artmaking, educational design, and other types of practical intervention!

Edit of the opening sequence of Powerpuff Girls. The first panel shows the Professor pouring Becky Chambers' To Be Taught, if Fortunate into a pot. The second shows the Professor pouring Tillie Walden's On a Sunbeam and Citizen Sleeper into the same pot. The third panel shows the Professor pouring Animal Crossing into the same pot. The final panel shows the Professor recoiling in terror as the container holding Karl Marx's Capital breaks and spills into the pot.
