I'm curious to see how posts with links propagate on bsky versus the website formerly known as Twitter.

Also, I haven't posted anything yet, so first post! Go watch my latest video!

Emerging from the abyss to say that I'll be doing a live break down tommorow evening with @fatbirdsc.bsky.social and @en1gm4tic.bsky.social for the work we all did on Spirit Breaker!

not sure if some people understand that part of what makes creating so rewarding is the fact that it *is* hard. It doesn’t matter if you’re been painting or writing for 80 years— every piece will have problems that need solving, and few things feel better than figuring it out.

This is a loss for CIG, but I look forward to seeing where this lovely ball of joy goes in the future.
this was my last week at cloud imperium games

im going to be taking a significant break from most of the internet. not sure if/when I'll be back.

to the #StarCitizen community, thank you for your 10 years of love and support. you are truly the love of my life. thank you 💜

Doechii Tiny Desk Concert one of the best of all time, if not THE best. Combination of the lyricism, novelty, and expertise of Missy, and the energy and aggression of Rico.

And the sheer depth of talent in the band??? Rivals any jazz set.

No genre of music fell off harder than country music from the 80s outlaw country that was irreverent of institutions to the stadium country now that is just about girls in jeans, trucks, beers and loving patriotism and the corporate sponsors

This is a fantastic film that will have your heart racing from a frenetic jazz soundtrack that compels you through a complicated story of American imperialism in central Africa.

Informative and so engaging, especially if you like jazz.
I just watched *soundtrack to a coup d’etat* and it was fantastic, and also a dark reminder of things we should all be more aware of. Thanks to @vijayiyer.bsky.social for the heads up.

couple notes from a Jason Hickel thread from over on Twitter:

It gives and gives and gives until you've got a busy week and can't give it enough attention and it punishes you by taking away the book you were obsessed with.

Libby is a love-bombing abuser, but we love her.
Libby is really an incredible app. I've read so many books on it that I would never have come across, let alone taken a risk on if they weren't available at my library. 📚💙

it's great that google has improved by making sure the first thing you see in any search is an unsourced list of falsehoods.

most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true

For those wondering if/when #StarCitizen CIG/RSI will have an official company presence on Bluesky, here is a tweet from @galaxt1ka.bsky.social on Twitter from a few days ago explaining their plan that magically got very little visibility.
