I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
That’s my girl
Oh? Hows it work
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

[guybrush threepwood voice] never spend more than 3 years making a computer game
two weeks later and i still can't get this out of head, especially as i work through some of my first FF games
the internet loves to give modern pokemon shit for its graphics, but by refusing to participate in the AAA graphics arms race, they have unambigiously dominated the culture. they won.
Archipel's 1-hour documentary on Mahiro Maeda is out, and it's a must watch to understand the career of this underrated artist who has worked with Miyazaki, Anno... and many international projects, from an aborted "Dune" anime to "Furiosa" (Mad Max).

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling
CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.
Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.
What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
It feels really weird seeing people give marathon a second chance after the whole "they shoplifted the entire aesthetic off of a specific artist" debacle. That's a permanent nonstarter for me
Not if i hop off this shit
Happy Pokemon 30th! Here’s an old Gengar piece that I’m not sure if I ever shared here. (Personal, 2024) 🩵😈
In a battle between hope and hate, hope won out.
Why voters rejected the hateful politics of Reform and instead embraced the "Green Menace" in Gorton and Denton

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $
I keep reminding people that admins hate English departments because they are popular (read: inefficient), not because they aren’t. AI is in a long line of technologies that promise to solve that problem for them.
Apology accepted. Dont do that shit again
Unfortunately "We were just following orders" is not, historically speaking, a real defense
Ok but that is criminally funny lmao
Important updates:
- Actual media coverage is in progress.
- Please focus on #FREELUD and do not become distracted by agitators.
- Outside people are fishing for info on *an active legal case*—do not provide it, block, and move on.
I also think a lot of gamers underestimate the power of just naturally enjoying the thing you love & how people gravitate to that
You won’t have to tell people to play a game for some greater cause, you won’t have pit it against another game
Sincere passion is contagious (and good for you)
The reason they are forcing this tech everywhere and pushing it so hard is because they want people gathering surveillance data for them constantly and I hate that you sound paranoid pointing this out.
"Letting go of Evo"
I wrote about why I'm breaking my Evo attendance streak (every year since 2011; first Evo was 2003). It's sad, but I think this a good opportunity to celebrate the Evo moments that got me here before moving on.
