im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️
Pretty much every university has one humanities department and several inhumanities departments and you all know which ones I’m talkin’ about
I think you can be a tech optimist and also, a corporate pessimist. I don’t think the elites or the Epstein class are driving good outcomes with tech at the moment.
Case in point: a large prominent AI starts undressing women and children at the press of a button - and it’s still around?
I do think that there’s an argument to be made that people are drawn to AI because they have a burning desire to create but arts education has been so decimated that they have no idea where to even start
No one told me that catching up on buying necessities would cost me $400 🫠
If Trump backs down and pulls goons out of Minnesota, that is not a victory.
If ICE’s funding is held up, that is not a victory.
If a few specific ICE agents get thrown under the bus, that is not a victory.
Abolish ICE, hold all parties accountable, and stay angry until that happens.
We can’t let them write ICE OUT in big letters on a busy intersection and then double the DHS budget

It’s 2026 let it go and be a decent person for fucks sake
“Both sides have a point” One side is abducting people in masks to throw in concentration camps if they’re not lynching people directly on the streets. One sides points will be tallied in The Hague.
I and trans writers before me have gone repeatedly into tracing the trajectory of the 2010s, where we went from the first bathroom bill in NC resulting mass boycotts to over 1000 anti-trans bills being introduced by 2025.
There was a deliberate, targeted shift in discourse!
I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.
Your regular reminder that this is just a plausible sounding list Grok has produced. It’s not based on real numbers or research, just vibes. If you think AI is nonsense most of the time, you can’t just change your mind when it’s being mean to people you dislike!

Also, abundance is:
Having friends over for dinner
Going out to community events
Concerts
Buying local art
New hobbies
Reading
Vacations
Time with loved ones
Experiences (positive)
Abundance is not:
Hoarding wealth
Buying fast fashion
Consumer goods
Large chains
Consumerism

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
Fuck Epic. Fuck JK Rowling. Fuck Hogwarts Legacy. Fuck TERFs.

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.
The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
