When you realize the stock market isn't focused around successful business but about ensuring your investment increases in yield on the basis of its perceived value, it starts to make more sense that the worst companies have the biggest valuations.

I cannot tell you how fucking mind-blowing it was when Netflix was like "you can start watching in one room and pick up where you left off in another" like that was cavemen-discovering-fire shit

The internet can be pretty gullible about tech products, but congrats to everyone who called exactly what this was going to be used for from the first moment they saw it.

Me: I don't see any reason to use AI Slop peddlers: You know how you want to sell books but you hate writing? Me: No, I love writing. The only reason I care about selling books is so I can afford to write instead of getting a real job Slop peddlers: Oh. Well... You know how you hate your kids?

we've created a no AI notice to reassure people seeing our trailers and games with hand drawn lettering and a relaxing cute fox, and it's also up on itch in multiple formats* for anyone to use: eniko.itch.io/cute-fox-no-... *with/without fox, transparent/opaque, in 4k, 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

You can simply make games the old fashioned way 😄

We just made this for our game - it's gonna play upon first launch. I'm tempted to put it as its own """trailer""" on Steam to really get the point across. bsky.app/profile/wave...

BREAKING: RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins fourth term, according to electoral court.

I'm very proud of my country tonight 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

new york forever. FUCK ICE.

Sorry still thinking of $1,200-$1,800 dollar console just conceptually. Those are Real Computer numbers. You can just get a real computer for that kinda cash. The entire premise of the console is “this is a baby computer you don’t control but it’s standardized and affordable” but they can’t do that.

Ever fucking green

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

But we're still kickin' and here's a story we published yesterday @thebarbedwire.com by @kitoconnell.com on what trump is doing to HIV funding in Texas: www.thebarbedwire.com/can-texas-fi...

TOMORROW ✨I will be boothing for the first time ever at Lightbox Expo at Booth #216 .Limited artbooks , prints, and stickers will be available !

To win Michigan, AES is campaigning with Obama, Bernie, AOC. That’s who you campaign with to win swing states. Not Dick Cheney’s daughter.

Seems like a good time to mention that we had to do layoffs at the Barbed Wire a few months ago because we were already operating on a shoestring budget and promised funding fell through. (Read: donor backed out.)

Imagine you pour your heart out to your therapist and you find out he wojaked you

Do you know how bad the abuse has to be for a judge to remove kids from their birth mother? Just saw Amy Acton’s CNN interview about that Ramaswamy ad and , listen, I lived in NC through the Willie Horton ad era. I’m not precious. This is so disgusting that I wish I believed in hell. I really do.

The thing with the billionaires is they won’t fucking leave us alone. It would be one thing if they made some product or service, fucked off, paid their bills and paid for rivers of cocaine or gold covered loincloths or whatever. But they insist society be structured around their every whim.

I think a huge reason Elon Musk is so virulently transphobic is not simply that his daughter transitioned & went no contact, but that he did everything he could to make sure all his kids were boys b/c he hates women, & one of those children deliberately & publicly embracing being female enrages him.

like when MTV stopped playing music videos

Props to the ad agency: they nailed the "white person who plagiarises and steals credit using LLMs" look with 100% accuracy

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

If it sounds like a leveraged buyout should be illegal, yes. Yes, it should. It's been one of the main vehicles for hollowing out the economy and the middle class for the better part of two or three decades. We're ripping down the walls and burning them to stay warm.

Another aspect of leveraged buyouts is that it allows the buyer to put all the debt on the company they purchased. It never affects them. They're never on the hook for all the money they borrowed. They get big windfalls and "finder's fees" and closing bonuses, and the company gets destroyed.

I want you to understand that most of these big game studios are still profitable, even Bioware. The problem is leveraged buyouts, which means taking out massive loans in order to buy someone else's company. It's like buying a luxury car you can't afford, then paying it off by selling it for parts.
