Board game design (and general) mentorship advice: I know a middle-aged dude assigned to mentor two young women designing games. He thoughtfully asked if I had any advice, wondering about blind spots. I posed his Q to a group of women and I thought they had some really good advice. 🧵👇 🎲✂️

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future. www.wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

Pop Culturewww.wheresyoured.at A week and a half ago, Goldman Sachs put out a 31-page-report (titled "Gen AI: Too Much Spend, Too Little Benefit?”) that includes some of the most damning literature on generative AI I've ever seen. ...

The wild thing about this is that Starmer, once the top lawyer in the UK, is just plain wrong about this. The equality act is clear about this and there are multiple examples of case law stating exactly that trans women have the right to use single-sex spaces aligning with their gender identity.

Have bought too many films from an Arrow Films sale Again For the curious they are: Daisies, River, Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea, and finally Zokki (a film I know very little about but looked like it needed to go in the collection.)

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Musk’s basic M.O., from the boardroom to his interpersonal relationships, is to make the stakes of drawing his ire very high. he could choose to throw his money and influence around just to make you miserable if you cross him. that makes capitulation the reasonable choice for a lot of people.

They imprisoned him. They tortured him. They tried to forget about him. They didn't plan on him getting out. This Summer, Jason Statham is turning a paradise into hell. OMELAS No one's walking away from this.

Talk me out of or into a #PS5 Context: I've sold a lot of stuff lately and will have enough money for a PS5. I WANT to be able to play online games with friends who also have a PS5 but apparently I have to pay a monthly fee to do so. What are the good things and bad things about them?
