BREAKING: Trump on gas prices being high: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

This is not a drill. 🙏 Please share this thread. This week, North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein sounded the alarm about new vote-by-mail rules that have already gotten thousands of absentee ballots tossed. Keep reading 👇

In the desert you could find entire ghost cities being built by the company machines where no-one lived or worked. It didn't matter that they were uninhabitable and nonsensical in their layout. They were just tech demos. It was way too bleak for me. ... Anyway, how about them rocket cars?!

Ages ago my partner and I were designing a cyberpunk setting. She wrote a megacorp that didn't produce anything useful. It only existed because it provided valuable shares to trade. It controlled a massive fraction of the economy but had no workers, and didn't sell anything.

Success! With our partners @democracyforward.org and @campaignlegal.org we’ve blocked the Trump admin from using taxpayer money to run campaign ads! Huge lesson from the court’s order: if you run illegal taxpayer funded ads, you will not get paid.

anyway per the discourse I am seeing in my timeline: you are all welcome to join me in the most contrarian take (what if ai is a normal technology) sure everyone will boo NOW but that only means I'm going to be fully unbearable when I'm proved right

we're working on the v2 of our standard.site link cards. these cards currently link to both the article (top part) and publication (bottom part). they show a "Subscribe" button when possible, otherwise a "View Publication" button. what changes would you all like to see in the next version?

It keeps confusing me that the main call to action in these cards (the button) does NOT go to the article but to the main website Is it just me that finds this weird...? The main visual CTA for a card about an article should go to that article no...?

Wow. I wrote about this at length in my book on logistics, I never thought any politician would do anything about it. For decades companies of every kind have used subcontracting to dodge responsibility for their workers.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

"You can't put toothpaste back in the tube" might be true, but we also stopped putting radioactive substances in things like toothpaste when it turned out to have really bad effects. AI in all apps is not the toothpaste, it's the radioactive quackery.

"Can I eat that?" A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk checks out a fungus. The fungus is reddish brownish; maybe it's close enough to the color of a chipmunk and that's where the intrigue came in? The hawk did eventually go for a bite, but it was only one bite and then the hawk lost all interest.

This was an incredible GenCon that was WAY overbooked for me, but I can't think of a single thing I regret doing! I'll be back on the grind soon with new videos and the online Fey Train launch, but for now, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth or shared a kind word!

the bsky design team is working on communities and looking for feedback. one core idea we have is builders should be able to create apps and websites for their communities. they shouldn't only show up on bsky. community builders: would you want to create a separate custom app/site?

the Bluesky features that force people who want to argue with you to follow you is both good community management and a hilarious practical joke

what do you want to bet that the lesson Hollywood learns from The Odyssey isn't that you should let brilliant directors do their thing, but that there is a whole Classic Greek Poetry Cinematic Universe worth of sequels to be mined

On this day 15 years ago, we launched our first game, Bastion. To everyone who helped the Kid survive the Calamity, thank you!!🙏 You're the reason we've been able to carry on as an independent studio ever since.

It occurs to me that every place I’ve ever visited I have met delightful people who have made me fall in love with their country and this illustrates the fundamental difference between the state (truly hit or miss) and its people (invariably awesome)
