They're all in there! Were you trying to search with the top field? (That's for a username, optionally)

That's funny, it doesn't surprise 6-year-old me in the slightest

There's a "my 9 games" thing going around (my9games.com) but I had to take seconds because I've been playing games for almost half a century now, my 18 games

On Tuesday, Mullin traded barbs with the Teamsters president in schoolyard fashion: MULLIN: Sir, this is a time, this is a place You want to run your mouth. We can be two consenting adults. We can finish it here.” O’BRIEN: Ok, that’s fine. Perfect MULLIN: You want to do it now? O’BRIEN: I’d love to do it right now MULLIN: Well, stand your butt up, then O’BRIEN: You stand your butt up. With that, Mullin stood up, prompting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to intervene. “Sit down!” he exclaimed. “You’re a United States senator!”

...I did not see that ending coming

Oh it turns out Bennett 's kink is called autoludic asphyxiation -- he likes the kind of play where people choke

Also so glad that @foddy.net is also solidly on the "I'm trying to convert you to my kink" school of art along with many great mangaka, other game devs, Chris Claremont, etc

Yeah we're recording it but might be a while until it's online since it's kind of hectic this spring

Also TIGsource mentioned a lot, making me recall how badly I misread that room when trying to get people there to look at my office sitcom game in 2008, it was way too finished and normie and dork humor for "the scene" LOL.

Hearts and Minds There is a deep schism in the contemporary world between rationality and emotion, reason and intuition, logic and feeling. Games, more than any other form of culture, offer deep insight into this conf...

Actually the real backdrop cameo of this talk is @flantz.bsky.social 2014 lecture Hearts and Minds (which I must admit made me teary at the time), I recommend

Great cameo by @duckvalentine.bsky.social in this talk

i'm in my 50s and parts of me are hurt in ways that should only be possible for completely different parts

Hey! Hey! We are streaming this talk with notorious achievement-troll and torture artist of self and others, Benett (sp) Fody (sp) in just under an hour at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter
Get Ready to Fall in ████ All Over Again

postmortem gamete extraction from buff soldiers. kojima collab? fellow traveler collab? i feel interest in this market is hot. lots of "dry powder" (opposite of "moist fluid")

"No nut November... forever"

It's cold comfort years too late, but the school district was ordered to pay for significant amounts of additoinal education for him

KIDS IN BACK SEAT: Nuremberg 2! Nuremberg 2!

PARENT #2: Yeahhhh, Nuremberg 2!

PARENT #1, LOOKING OVER SHOULDER: C'mon you rascals... we have special prosecutions at home!

KID, very serious: No. The whole reason we're yelling is that we don't have special prosecutions at home anymore.

William did not receive that education here. Apart from his dyslexia itself, William’s most salient “circumstance” for our purposes was that—with proper instruction—he can learn to read. See L.H., 900 F.3d at 795-96. The school has not even tried to prove that finding wrong; yet William graduated from high school without being able to read or even to spell his own name. That was because, per the terms of his IEPs, he relied on a host of accommodations that masked his inability to read. To write a paper, for example—as the ALJ described—William would first dictate his topic into a document using speech-to-text software. He then would paste the written words into an AI software like ChatGPT. Next, the AI software would generate a paper on that topic, which William would paste back into his own document. Finally, William would run that paper through another software program like Grammarly, so that it reflected an appropriate writing style. Not all these workarounds were specifically listed in his IEP, but all were enabled by an accommodation that was: 24 extra hours to complete all assignments, which allowed William to complete his assignments at home, using whatever technology tools he could find.

Sounds on the surface like William A. v. Clarksville-Montgomery School System, but the amazing detail in that one didn't really get noticed until a judge wrote it up

I am currently watching a demo that is probably best described as “obra dinn for hookups”

Consciousness is great for going "why the $#!% did I do that" and being held accountable as the addressable surface of your agency, though

Never been a huge fan of the idea that your consciousness is actually in control of your actions, for which there is very little evidence

I continue to be mildly surprised by the number of people whose ideas of morality are centered on the idea that individuals certainly could have made different decisions than they did

I vote that we turn one of the big empty rooms into a faraday cage

(It's extremely radical because even people who believe some relatively rare cases of gender-affirming surgery for minors are warranted tend to think it shouldn't JUST be up to parents but also an assessment of persistent identity, outcomes, etc by health care providers?)

Implicitly, following the grammar of "NO PARKING ON SUNDAYS" edicts, this means gender-affirming surgeries ARE allowed for children with written parental approval, a much more radical pro-surgery position than almost anyone's

what happened to Clay Shirky's "everyone let's return to using blue books?" or is it something that has to compile

The complicity/contagion is an interesting frame, thanks! Kind of overlaps with "is there an plausible theory of change involved in this demand" as a criteria for activism.

The goals are trickier, since there can be even more goals (rights of third parties, for instance)

Do I even need to point out that this kind of rationale for condemnation gets aimed at oppressed people all the time, happens regardless of politics (often internal to a movement) etc? Hopefully obvious

If we can't be more deliberate and nuanced, then what we are left with is "bad person -> someone who associated with bad person and maybe enabled them, also bad person -> repeat in third tier." Which of course is also an arch-conservative logic.

How do we gain experience? Hopefully in a less haphazard, reactive way than me. But I wish and hope that more people could be involved in transformative and restorative justice processes, including for (willing) participants who have done terrible things in the wake of the way the world shaped them.
