Hey couch political discoursers.

Call your representatives. Tell em to stand up for your trans homies.

Even if the closest you've ever come to a trans person is a character in a book.

It's zero risk to you. Zero cost to you. Maybe 5 minutes of time that will literally save innocent lives.

Quit giving JKR your money, and quit doing free promotional work by playing her properties on stream.
"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.

"… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…"

If you want an excellent video explainer for why we created @nogamesforgenocide.com, People Make Games just made one for you.

After watching it, think about whether you might want to pledge to boycott Xbox and then sign up if you do.

It's Red Umbrella day, also known as the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

It feels like it couldn't happen to you or someone you love...until it does.

Please take at least a moment of silence today to honour & remember your fallen coworkers - even those you never met

Here's a quick explainer on why everyone is mad about Larian and why trash GenAI advocacy is everywhere right now
I have SO MANY FUCKING THOUGHTS on this. This is a long thread so context: Jason Schreier released his transcript of his interview with Swen Vincke and this quote highlighted by Raquel indicates THE ABSOLUTE CORE OF WHAT IS WRONG with GenAI.

It's. A. Scam.

And it's WORKING.

"Mixed tape" actually hurts me to read lol, but back in the day I was LEGENDARY at making them for parties and gatherings

You'd all be surprised about how common some of these still are. I just recently had to help our infrastructure team troubleshoot our dialup servers

Today is a very good day to share this very good thread. Enjoy!
As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

I love love love e33.

However, I'm grumpy at the devs. They stealth nerfed one of my favorite pictos.

This means my ultra busted late game build no longer has a core dependency.

I've workshopped and my nonsense still works, but takes 3x as much time to do 1/2 as much, and I miss these numbers!

Finally got around to watching Severance season 2

It was long and plodding, largely saying nothing. Characters were not true to their natures regularly. Filler episodes abounded. Even the main plot didn't know if it was coming or going

Most disappointed I've been with a second season in a decade
