I did it! I made a video game. Introducing Star Captain 32767, a retro-arcade shooter with rogue-lite elements, inspired by games like Galaga and 10000000. The game is free, but if you enjoy it I would really appreciate a small donation!

One thing I've learned from movies like Alien and Event Horizon is that it is very important for everyone to hang out in their underwear and/or bath towels after leaving the stasis pods. Also to smoke cigars if they got 'em

Why did Paul W. S. Anderson make like 827485 terrible sequels to Resident Evil but zero sequels to Event Horizon. Just do it bro. You can even put Milla Jovovich in it if you want

Today Tony Fitzpatrick passed.

I'm only now learning he had a fairly storied career, but the only thing I knew him for was my favourite show Patriot. Here he plays Jack Birdbath, a disgraced ex-cop turned security guard who blackmails a spy.

Watch this clip. Celebrate this incredible man with me.

Seven years sober today. Almost impossible to imagine my life any other way. I’m so grateful to everyone who helped and held me along the way.

My favorite thing to do on this website is mouthing off. My second favorite thing? Also mouthing off.

Bluesky used to be a cool place full of people saying "you're right" and "agreed!" But I posted one really dumb thing and now it's a toxic place full of people saying "I don't agree" and "that post was dumb." Says a lot about society

Boss, we’ve got a problem. Users don’t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on!

Boss: I have an idea

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me in any way so far.
I’m still trying to raise the money before the bills become past due. I haven’t gotten many interviews, which is disappointing.
Anything helps and as always, whatever I need to do to make it up to you, I will.

People get so weird about blocking, as though it's punishment for something. And I understand. But also:

People have the right to curate their spaces. If someone needs to NOT have me in THEIR space for their peace, good for them! I don't have the right to be in someone else's space.

If productivity gains with AI use were truly so large, orgs wouldn't be regularly asking me how to audit which staff are using AI vs not.

The only tool you should need is managers telling you who is 10%+++ more effective since you deployed the new AI tooling. Unless of course those claims are... 🤔

Part of the problem is that office holders are treated as if they’re somehow part of a noble elect who are entitled to their position, and it’s our job to personally identify with their struggles and understand just how tough they have it.

Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.
