Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

Everyone should read this book! Otherwise you might get taken in by the Space Fantasists. Who have a compelling vision to trash our habitable planet, then blast off to be Emperor of some barren rock and a colony of their most dedicated boot lickers. And it has pictures!

Every so often, I'm proud to be British. Can just imagine the glee in The Sun offices when they came up with this headline.
Front cover of The Sun newspaper, with the headline: Texas Kane Score Massacre. Image of England international soccer players Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford standing on the pitch mid-match, during a World Cup game in which England beat Croatia 4 goals to 2.

Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is beyond sickening. He's a mass murdering tyrant and simultaneously one of the most pathetic and embarrassing people alive. He's literally hoarding all the resources and making all our lives worse, while spending all his time bashing the poor

I'm v new (<5yrs) to game dev. But wisdom that instantly made sense to me, and I now apply to all my creative stuff: Prototypes should look bad. Because the pretty polish makes it way harder to see if the IDEA is actually good. If it's fun with a stick figure, you know you're on to something.

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back
Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

Tired
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two - And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

Thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social (via her critical newsletter) for reminding me of this timely poem from Wendell Berry, entitled Real Work.
Poem by Wendell Berry entitled Real Work:

It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.

Could we maybe just agree that the system that creates these horrible humans (and often lets them be in charge of things) is broken? Not saying I have the perfect solution, but MORE OF THE SAME + EXTRA RACISM doesn't seem like a winner.
