yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

An archeologist comes home after a long day of figuring out the age of skeletons at a recent dig site; and sees her boyfriend fuming, packing his clothes. "I'm leaving you! And I'm never coming back!" She asks him what this is all about. "Don't play dumb, I heard you've been dating other people"

ah it's the day of the year where the people who are furiously pro the troops let off a hundred explosives by their PTSD affected neighbors, who are often the troops

the combination of the UK election and today's holiday in america is, a lot, to process as a british immigrant, genuinely holding on to hope that things can improve

Booted up Affinity Publisher for the first time in years to lay out the text on the first TCG Battlers card. Publisher is just WAY better than Illustrator for this sort of thing. Pretty happy with that text. Small, but not tiny, and close enough to the size of the pixel art.

Damn. I made an animated GIF of the first 16 Card Battlers TCG cards — a set tentatively named "Dungeon Denizens" — only to realize that Bluesky can't do GIFs. 😢

let's fucking go UK, force them out <3

"the youth don't know how good they have it" buddy what they have fucking sucks and what we had being worse doesn't fix that

wow, standing on principle sure is expensive

idk i feel like this is star trek in full context

finding out the greek section of a diversity jobs board is for frats and sororities as a european greek in america is boiling my blood

If you are interested in my 'Designing Cities for Video Games' course, you can always take a couple minutes and answer my survey. This will get you into the course waitlist, and actually help shape what the October course will include. Here's the survey: maven.com/forms/6a7936

Why do we celebrate entrepreneurs for chasing passive income but condemn the idea of universal basic passive income as making people lazy? Both strategies aim for financial security without daily work. Let's normalize a financial floor for everyone, not just the investment-savvy with enough capital.

if you don't mask anymore i think you should be banned from using the term "avoid it like the plague"

The world sucks and things are bad but hey, you know what you can do right now to make things easier on yourself and others? Wear a face mask. We have to be alive to fight back.

i want to add: if you’ve stopped masking for whatever reason, you can start again. it makes spaces more accessible, it helps preserve your health and the health of the people around you. it’s a tiny action you can take to make the world safer.

it's fun watching the political landscape accelerate so terrifyingly quickly that publishing books about any of it is pointless because by the time they hit shelves something infinitely worse is happening

I dunno how we got so lucky with our genre draws, but we pulled Sci-Fi and Sport/Game and damned if we didn't delivery on Game. Though I def floated multiple options that combined them, like "Star Trek Phaser Tag Larp" and "Watching a Non-Copyright Infringing Blood Bowl match" xD
