Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban — sponsored by @councilormorillo.bsky.social & @councilorgreen.bsky.social — passes with 8 yes votes, 2 no votes, and 2 absences.
We’ll be there to support the Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban and the Detention Fee Ordinance!
Today Portland City Council will have a final hearing and vote on my Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban!
So grateful for leaders like @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for leading the charge in the courts. Corporations should not be taking advantage of regular people for profit. Affordable rent NOW!

Right now the most useful AI intervention in my design workflow would be if I could type or speak commands by describing the end result ("arrange these around a circle, like a clock") rather than use my cursor to hunt through menus

Not for nothing, but how fucking cool is the word "Neuromancer?" It's just so evocative.

All it takes is some six-sided dice and Friends Who Are Game!!!
Andy released a one-page game that I played and found hilarious. It’s a wide-open door for imaginative people that sets a clear comedic tone in nearly every instruction. And all it takes is some six-sided dice and Friends Who Are Game.
I've got a new game out this week! It's called EVERYTHING SEXY BATTLE WIZARDS, and it's a one-page mashup made for @gshowitt.bsky.social's One Hundred One Page Games Jam. It's a tables-only game about… pretty much what it says on the tin, I guess itch.io/jam/one-hund...

This will be a long thread on yesterday police massacre in Rio.
In nothern Rio de Janeiro city, there is a couple of hills called Complexo da Penha. It's Comando Vermelho("Red Command", a drug gang), or CV, territory.
CV is the greatest gang in Rio, second in the whole Brazil.

🧵 Awful awful massacre in Brazil
Gente, é o maior massacre no Brasil desde o Araguaia. Entendo quem quer puxar pra Canudos ou Contestado ou etc, mas não podemos livrar a ditadura de 64 só porque ela escondia melhor seus corpos.
Morreram 41 guerrilheiros comunistas e mais de 1200 camponeses no Araguaia.

I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison
Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

This article is the antidote to the New York Times article about Portland that enraged everyone a few weeks ago. People don't have homes because they can't afford them & our safety net is a wad of shredded plastic snarled with trash on a riverbank instead of the beautiful sturdy thing it could be.
Trump’s Portland narrative didn’t appear suddenly; it’s more a denouement after powerful interests catastrophized challenges for political gain.Years of oiling the growth machine, even in a city with a progressive reputation, have failed to produce material results for voters.
Here’s some history:

Portlanders mock Trump for calling their city ‘war-ravaged’. But they’re clear-eyed about its problems
Like many American cities, Portland has been struggling to combat rising unaffordability and homelessness

I say 'physical space' but of course it's not physical space, it's not an in-person larp — it's a text-only game with delineated rooms and spaces and objects, all hackable through object-oriented coding
Genuinely though, I think there's something useful to write about with this, and maybe even design for. What can persistent text play look like? What happens when instead of chat rooms there's a physical space you navigate through?

I’ve been thinking a lot about reasons folks play TTRPGs & whether it’s true folks uniformly want endings/closure.
What’s fascinating about #OVER/UNDER is that it’s rooted in a system that shines in modules/bounded play but this event is dominated (for now?) by totally different structures of play.
