I remember this ad in Gamepro.

societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire

NASA didn't spend any money developing a space pen. The Soviets didn't use a pencil.

The space pen was made by a random inventor who spent his own money on it. Both NASA and the Soviets used it, because graphite dust from pencils is a fire hazard in the weightlessness of space.

Fascism has a shallow playbook, and so Kirby speaks to past and present with this stuff.

Justifiers invade the ‘part of town they want’, calling the people they are capturing ‘swine’, and declaring that “the women and children are as hated as the men”. They drag people from their homes, declaring that they ‘waiting to do this for years’. Familiar.

The justifiers continue to drag people away, saying they are nothing but animals and declaring themselves justified in ridding the city of these people. As if the point wasn’t clear enough, a justifier then goes on to burning down a library, calling the books within ‘decadent’, and that “you need know no more than the PROPER thing”

Like it is uncomfortable in how real this is, and of course as a Jewish man and a WWII veteran, Kirby is able to recognise this behaviour, which was not absent in the years since but an ever-bubbling threat, and indeed *gestures to the world today*

Don't wanna talk too much more publicly but DM me

This is also caused by staffing and space crunches - there isn't enough room on schoolyards per period, or enough adults not on prep periods. to give lots of kids the quantity and quality of supervised run-around time they need.

The "brain breaks" are also often very dysregulating! Stamina for sustained non-electronic work is not very high.

That actually makes me ill!

There's also way too much advertising exposure (any at all). If NYCDOE can't figure out a municipal ad-block solution for YouTube, YouTube needs to be blocked from the network. Kids should not see ads at school!

when i was a kid i had the classic “uncle works at nintendo“ friend. he told all kinds of tales but the claim that really stuck with me was that he and his family got to go to a special pikmin event where they dressed up as pikmin and a guy picked them up and threw them

What's the mechanism of action here? I wanna understand your theory better.

an important reminder that "hacking" rarely involves typing real fast as green text scrolls by and mostly involves asking people for their login info in increasingly sophisticated ways

human psychology is a lot easier to manipulate than code, be very careful with anyone asking for credentials

Blaming Hasbro for racism in D&D lets D&D, Gygax, TSR, off the hook. It imagines a sanctified "non-racist" version of a game where you murder subhumans for gold and plundered treasure on the frontier, which is kind of silly.

You can blame Hasbro for just about anything else! Be my guest. They're awful.

You can't blame Hasbro completely for racism in D&D. D&D is an imperial plunder fantasy from the ground up and has been for decades.

Whether you're trading "bon appitites" with your Bene Gesserit sisters or treating yourself like the Mahdi you are, we're glad you chose to order through Spice!

pizza alone counts separately from pizza with other people.

Like if you said “the life of an elementary schooler in Iran is worth the same amount as that of an American soldier” you’d get kicked off the news

The biggest revelation of replaying pokemon FRLG is that there is an actual storyline where blue had such a good time hanging out with the french staff of the s.s. anne that he gained a new catchphrase and would go on to study abroad in kalos
