If the government is going to present ICE as "Law enforcement" and then support them when they act lawlessly, brutalize innocent people, and lie about it in court, the only thing you'll accomplish is tanking public support for law enforcement

Trial shows that ICE agents lied, concealed evidence in an illegal effort to convict the "libtard" who filmed them.

I think I agree with this - I've mentioned it in passing a few times in my blogs. I think it can lead to people leaning too heavily into rules design, which is a subset of game design but isn't game design in sum. In board games you can get away with more because board games are very abstract.

doctober @docseuss.bsky.social · 2h

My most controversial game design opinion is that the increasing popularity of board games among game designers SPECIFICALLY as a tool for thinking about game design has actually been bad for games. As bad as "reality is broken?" No. But still pretty bad.

Some people asked me if there was a way to donate to me directly. While I am extremely uncomfortable about this, a lot of close friends convinced me I should set something up, so I set up a ko-fi for those that expressed this. Please do not feel obligated. ko-fi.com/ashuraou

I'm going to keep sharing my article for a week. If you would like me to stop doing that, please hit my tip jar.

I have a VERY big bill I have to pay through no fault of my own, and if you could help me with it, I would be grateful.

I've just wrapped up a huge trilogy of articles (like 40k words)

doctober @docseuss.bsky.social · 4d

if you like my writing, this month is REALLY urgent, as I need to raise a TON of money to pay my tax bill, which the state is making me pay early because, I shit you not, I did my taxes. Apparently a change to the balance, like filing taxes/extensions is bad

paypal.me/stompsite would help a LOT

the reframing of ICE and CBP from "dipshit agencies for losers and washouts" to Very Special Boys who get paid when nobody else in the government does must be creating an enormous seething vortex of resentment

Dave Jamieson @jamieson.bsky.social · 5h

Internal DHS memo shows Trump plans to keep paying ICE agents and Border Patrol officers throughout the shutdown, while other feds go without pay.

Even the DHS administrative staff processing the paychecks won't get theirs, employee tells me.

Trump Plans To Keep Paying Immigration Agents While Other Federal Workers Go Without Paychecks

The move amounts to special treatment for Trump’s favorite constituency within the federal bureaucracy.

I feel like (as with so many things with AI) this is techbros confusing the affordances of science fiction *media* with reality, when those affordances are often driven by the needs of the *media* rather than the SF.

I.E. they talk to the computer on Star Trek because typing is visually boring!

Peter Clines @peterclines.bsky.social · 5h

Can you imagine a writers retreat where everyone is talking to their computer all the time? Or a classroom? Or trying to work in an open plan office where everyone in every cubicle is talking in loud clear voices and then things go wrong because their computer heard Bill talking two cubicles over...

Tom Warren @tomwarren.co.uk · 10h

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...
