Honestly, the sooner you can unlearn jealousy and envy as reactions to others’ success, the better off you’ll be. There are better ways to motivate yourself to succeed than hoping that your peers don’t.

Also, a general reminder that if you like indie games, wishlisting them before release and leaving a thumbs up review after you play them can have an outsize impact on a small dev!

“AI” is the culmination of the tech industry. Every time you use it, you destroy the environment, erode labor protections, endanger workers overseas, enrich the ruling class, and make something unforgivably worthless, all at the same time – and it's all hidden from you in a frictionless distraction.

The man in this photo, A’ed Abo Amro, was sniped by the IDF only a month after this photo went viral because he became a symbol of the resistance. never forget that ahed tamimi, plestia and every palestinian standing up publicly against israel are true heroes at risk. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

This is our curse, and I honestly don't see a way out of it save for a few small clusters of people at a time. 💔

Watching a movie is like having a conversation. You either both have to be sober, or both have to be drunk.

Hi! I’m a narrative designer! My greatest hits include: “Marketing wants WHAT?!” “What do you mean design has changes? We ship in three days!” “We’re not doing that. It’s racist.” And the all-time classic: “No, we can’t just copy the MCU.”

People who use mtg as an abbreviation for meetings clearly don't play card games.

We likely already have more than a 'thousands Mozarts,' but many lack the time or financial resources to express their talent, often working for minimum wage at disgusting companies like Amazon.

A discouraging thing I don't see talked about enough is how, even if you're not facing homelessness, if your income stays about the same and you live in any major metro area, you're probably getting squeezed into worse housing in worse neighborhoods as the market deteriorates.

At the store, looking for something my daughter asked me for. Me: Excuse me, can you tell me where you keep your eyeball pencils? The clerk: Do you mean eyebrow pencils? Me: I really hope so.

Perhaps a niche question, but… do any of y’all have a favorite online museum and/or digital exhibition? If so, I’m especially curious to know what about it makes it so appealing/fun/interesting to you 🧐

I thought UNC was bad. This was really, really bad. “…a masked group surrounded the encampment in solidarity with Gaza, throwing fireworks and violently attacking students…university-hired security forces locked themselves in nearby buildings and police looked on for hours before intervening.”

Just going to highlight the importance of Al Aqsa to all Palestinians - not just Muslims - and the fact that preventing prayers at Al Aqsa SINCE OCTOBER 2 is a continuous insult and provocation by the apartheid regime. The apartheid regime does this because they know it’ll pick fights.

there are a lot of efficiencies that ‘ai’ could actually deliver because they all come down to stuff like pattern recognition but instead they’re going whole hog on ‘what if you could have Star Wars but Gandalf showed up’

It makes a difference to have our readers, our friends, and people in the industries we cover (ent, tech, and games) sign the petition and be vocal with support. If you think this is neat but haven't said anything out loud yet, please do. It moves the needle every time you do.

Allo!

Here's another promo for the new episode this Monday!

Thanks to @osamadorias.bsky.social for being my guinea pig for these new promos!

I'm already about to change them up (Just a little!) for the future guests, but I was relieved how well they went for the first time!
