Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

1. I see elsewhere on Bluesky that the discourse has turned toward telling writers not to be ashamed to admit they have day jobs or other sources of income (or spousal/family financial support), and you know what, that's 100% correct. Day jobs and support from loved ones are great if you have them!

Kee was the first person I interviewed for the Art of Psychonauts 2. He was so warm and generous with his time and knowledge! I thought, "I bet everyone loves him at DF." Turns out, I was right!

He's a true rock in any storm and DF is so lucky to have him. He also makes REALLY good short rib~ 🫶🏼
This month marks 23 years in the game industry for me. I've been INCREDIBLY fortunate to have worked with all of the amazing folks that I've worked with, the games that I got to work on and to have had made some life long friends along the way. Truly grateful.

My *extremely* hardworking neighbors lost their coffee truck in a fire less than two weeks ago. It's their sole source of income.

Please, please help if you can. Donations, shares, anything. They have bills piling up and kids to feed. I love them so much 🥺

This interview is a snapshot into where tech companies are with online harassment right now.

They know how to end it, but they decided not to spend the money. They’re prioritizing growth (and profit) above all else. And they’re blaming YOU for logging on to the platform they designed to be unsafe.

lot of moots follow this person OP is discussing, so heads up
The reason @space-ghost.com is posting on here now instead of twitter is because of the things that have been exposed about her in the last few days showing how vile she really is.
To start, here is a a photo of her in 2018 and tweets she’s made about it

This feels like a guaranteed audit tbh
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Loved this conversation with @davidpierce.xyz and Cory Doctorow, especially as it made a really human articulation of how @eff.org is relevant to normal users’ concerns on the internet. youtu.be/pwq1oNgrKN8

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

Sorry to literally everyone I have ever met, I am juggling four freelance jobs to make ends meet at the moment and it's hard to eat, much less respond to texts or leave the house

I am doing my best to find a way to resurface and I'll see some of you at TGAs

I don't mean to brag, but I reached the mountaintop and felled Typhon on my first attempt just now and I'm feeling very smug about it 😌

Cried my eyes out watching this. I was an intern at JKL in 2009, and Cleto Jr. was one of the kindest people, every day. Years later I'd revisit and he always remembered me by name. He was such a special guy, and I know this is beyond devastating for the entire JKL family. All my love to them 💔💔

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

I feel like the timeline needs something good, so here is a very pretty sunrise I caught last week. I didn't have any time or ability to frame it properly through my windshield, but it was breathtaking. Maybe you need it today ♥️
