What is bringing you joy today?
What made you laugh or smile today?
Have you brought joy to someone else today?
What made you laugh or smile today?
Have you brought joy to someone else today?
Why do I ask this every day?
Because joy is an act of resistance. Bringing joy to others is an act of resistance.
It can be overwhelming when the news is constantly scary. But bring joy to others and yourself. Resistance is a process, not a single moment. Remember there is always good.

Tired and misread a pro-AI coding post as an anti-AI one.
Let me be clear as a Software Engineer:
Fuck AI. And fuck AI code.
It's a blight upon my craft trained on all the bad code on the internet (which is a lot), and it sucks at context.

the interesting flipside of this is that every time a developer discloses that no AI/LLMs were used it makes me feel a lot of relief and it makes the thing feel more precious, like oh thank god this hasn't got to everyone
So IGF this year requires not just an AI disclosure but specifically a disclosure for AI coding - which steam doesn't require - and wow am I unfortunately learning about a LOT of games that don't disclose AI use on steam that use "AI code assistance"

If you want intersectionality from trans people, you also need to show the fuck up for trans people. If alienating us results in the people you hate winning elections, maybe dont alienate us? Balls in your court with that shit.

It's so much easier to play purity politics and look down on other places the further removed you are from where the work is often literally neighbor to neighbor and coworker to coworker.

A fair weather ally is no ally at all.
National Democrats largely went from being against gay marriage, to shutting up about it, to supporting it once there was a safe majority for it, then letting courts do the dirty work.
Do these sound like people who will support any queer person if it involves work on their part?

This is getting out of control.

It’s not an “impossible position”. Sheeran is a very wealthy, successful musician who was asked by a stadium owner to kick a fellow musician off his tour for political reasons. He could choose to kick Macklemore off or to say no thanks, we’ll play elsewhere. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Threatening to make everything bootleg and even more expensive right before a midterm because his feelings are hurt is going to hurt a lot of Americans.
And certainly a bold strategy before the largest predicted blue wave in a generation.
