Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I mean that's sort of the neo/liberal project, ain't it. Everyone is a complete atomized entity, no patterns can be seen between people, society doesn't exist, etc. Infantile thinking

I don't think it'll happen any time soon, but I think anyone believing that this is a strong foundation for future internet usage is deluding themselves. We are past the age where unbiased "marketplace of ideas" sites are to be considered safe for the vast majority of users. Good luck tho

To put it bluntly, Bluesky administration is not unbiased, they are centrist/capitalist/liberal through and through. This is why they refuse to take hard action against Right-wing voices and why they are eager and willing to take action against Left-wing voices. This will, eventually, kill the site.

This is a good post. Part of why I have limited my usage of Bluesky is that I believe that it is, fundamentally, doomed, and it is doomed because it comes from a previous era of social media, where social media administration could pretend that they are unbiased in their moderation policies.

I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way)

Bruno is more than fair in this post, but I just want to add that yes I am *always* going to be petty about everyone latching onto spurious or insignificant complaints about Cohost, only to wish bluesky had this feature or that set of community guidelines.

I did find a cheap wrap! It works okay. Still not ideal. I had to do a lot of trimming with a knife to get it to fit on the mouse correctly

I've been hit by tech layoffs, which means I'm open for full-time marketing work in social media, content, events, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I've transferred my 12+ years of marketing skills across anime, games, TV, comics, and tech.. and I'm funny 😋.. TY for any shares/leads ❤️

If the line is “Robinson was radicalized into action because he had a trans partner” then what does that say about the madness and cruelty of American transphobia that a single moment of a cis man seeing it fully was enough to drive him to kill. What does it say that we as trans people weather it?
