8) Mario Kart World 🏁

Obviously, still a lot to do here. I love the new courses and Knockout mode is brilliant. Haven't done too much in Free Roam yet. Rainbow Road was AWESOME!

Imagine getting a Nobel Peace Price THROUGH INTIMIDATION. It would honestly be the most ironic, fitting tribute the world could ever pay this man.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Reminder to myself: putting something on a to-do list isn't "most of the job done".

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Shoutout to my amazing Mum for spending the last few years knitting me this ridiculously awesome nerd blanket!!! 😁

A knitted blanket with lots of nerdy iconography on it, including Pokemon, Doctor Who, and Marvel.

Ninsight is here! We’d like to thank everyone for their patience with this. After some unfortunate production delays, the magazine is now out in the wild, and we’d love to see your pics and hear your thoughts!

None of this is possible without all you amazing folks, and we hope you enjoy!

If you see this, post a fun guy. Sorry - post fungi.

🍄🍄🍄 Came across this beautiful specimen just yesterday — I think it's a parasol mushroom! 🍄🍄🍄

Haven't played Hades 2 yet, but I've been loving Bananza and Silksong, after the MKR honeymoon period has worn off a bit. Some amazing stuff coming up too — Galaxy 2 and Yoshi's Book especially!!
