Me: "So in this essay, should I bother to talk about the incredibly unsubtle allusions to 'The Matrix' in Nida Manzoor's 'Polite Society'? It's not strictly relevant to the point and might be a needless aside---"

Grading with a concussion while watching the government issue warnings on my literal underwear is surreal. Not in a good way
It's not just TomboyX, by the way! Trump's FDA has sent these warning letters to 11 companies that sell Binders.

Today's the last day to pick up the Ban the Ban bundle! 27 TTRPGs for $20 that goes to helping fight for the rights of trans kids to access healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Thank you everyone who's supported us so far, one last hurrah! Pick it up here: itch.io/b/3421/ban-t...

VERY depressing seeing so many board game publishers and kickstarters fall down this hole. if you can't afford an artist you can't afford to make a game, if you don't have time to make art you dont have time to make your game.
Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

it's really sad that going on any of the major platforms in 2025 after an abhorrent event like last night's shooting means accepting that you be exposed to some graphic content. some platforms are worse than others, but it's remarkable that it's unremarkable.

14 victims dead including two rabbis and a 10-year-old child. 42 injured. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

And it could have been worse but for Ahmed's heroism and our gun control laws that meant the deceased shooter only had the 6 non-automatic firearms he had been able to acquire legally.

The next two weeks are going to be thick with the most putrid coverage and discourse we’ve ever had to wade through as a nation. Get the facts and then tune out and log off if you must. You are under no obligation to drink the poison.
The shittest Australians you can think of are touching themselves right now. They've got engagement brain. They're thinking about posts, snap rallies and their 'brand'. They're hoping they can get a Cronulla going and hurt a bunch of random innocents while the engagement is still fresh.
