The best art is made for the self. It’s the very act of making art that itself is the gift to the world.
Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Sure there are a million factors towards all this - social attention, AI shortcutting, University capitulation and other signs of contempt of students, helicoptering - but the absolute massive red siren is that there just aren't jobs waiting for grads.

I'd stop giving a shit too.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Some more cheeky #GodotEngine 'watch-dev'.

On the one hand, was an interesting challenge thinking of a game that made sense on the form factor. Only radial game I could think of was old school Tempest.

On the other, these devices clearly aren't made for it. I rinsed the battery in no time!

More evidence that the one percent remain incapable of accessing an iota of joy and only know how to market their pursuit of it in more and more absurd and humiliating ways.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

Interesting. With no press present, why were there camera flashes appearing intermittently? Also, Trump was very eloquent and spoke quite well, better than I remember him speaking lately when there where witnesses.

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

I’ve been scrolling bsky for #ImpossibleLandscapes session recaps and I was like “why don’t I just post mine and be contributive rather than consumptive” so here goes, some thoughts about Horror RPGing…

This realization came way too late in my life. but I will note that when you encounter this sort of person pointing out this difference between you and them sure shuts them up.
One of the biggest shocks of my adult life was realizing there's a hidden division in society between people who think certain acts - cruelty, torture, murder - are inherently wrong, versus the majority of people who think there are no wrong actions, just incorrect targets.

A thing that I think holds a lot of Star Wars stuff back is a thing that also shows up when you run ttrpg campaigns in established worlds, where there’s just so much already established background bullshit that you feel beholden to, that you never really get to go balls to the wall with something.
I don’t have a Star Wars take, really. The universe brings a lot of joy to people, so that’s a good thing. I suspect even arguing about whether the media is good or not is a kind of joy too? At least for some.

Do they KICK ASS? Ehn.

🛑 BUT…. they were looking for a baby the whole time. Acceptance criteria fail!

🧠 This is why it’s so important for villains to leverage AGILE practices. Don’t let this become your team. My new ecourse will
