It's Pokemon's 30th anniversary this year, so to celebrate, I will be posting screenshots from my recreation of Red and Blue's Kanto region! #Pokemon30 #ポケモン30周年 1. Pallet Town

I fucking love people who become more themselves with age. Stranger taste. Clearer boundaries. Louder laugh. Less interest in impressing random people. Watching somebody slowly stop auditioning for the world is fucking beautiful.

every time i understand one more layer of the stack i become less impressed by computers and more impressed that anything works at all

It is extremely clear at this point in AI development that, regardless of risk or revenue or any of the other stuff discussed on X all the time, things are just going to keep getting weirder. Just super, super weird.

"Forgotten Island" opening to $10-ish million this weekend is a disaster for DreamWorks/Universal and a tragedy for fans of original animation. It has a 95% RT score. They made a good film and audiences just refuse to pay to see it. It'll probably do well on Netflix, anyway

i don’t understand why swifties refuse to have the conversation on how her music had clearly declined

I know we’re all in mourning right now because of how dire Taylor Swift’s songwriting is becoming but that does not mean that we have to pretend that The Tortured Poets Department is good

The myth of having a “cool” job is over. Every industry sucks. Embrace actual hobbies.

Meta has the mandate of heaven right now. Apple can't rest on their laurels any longer. They need to innovate again. The Duo is not it. Giving people OLED Macbooks in 2027 is not it. They need to advance the tech tree. Meta will take their crown little by little if they don't.

This is such a remarkable victory for the power of collective action. Not a single bill passed through the Oval Office, not a single ballot was cast to eventually put Flock out of business. The sheer power of public opinion caused city halls across the country to cancel contracts in order to keep their elected seats. That is how representative democracy works

Companies replacing junior roles with AI and then wondering why they can't find senior talent in five years is going to be the most predictable crisis in hiring history.

They call AI developers “money grifters,” yet their argument often amounts to: “Pay an artist or you shouldn’t be allowed to make your game.” Most indie developers simply don’t have that money. You cannot lose a commission that never existed, and a game with no budget cannot hire anyone. AI allows that project to exist, prove itself, and potentially generate enough revenue to hire professional artists later. Without those tools, many of these games would never be made at all. Demanding that creators either pay you or abandon their ideas isn’t protecting art—it’s gatekeeping creativity behind money and personal approval.

Being a computer scientist who refuses to find anything about LLMs interesting right now is a bit like being a geneticist who refuses to find anything interesting about the recently opened Jurassic Park

While it's not something that fills me with rage like people who oppose this view point thinks everyone who shares my opinion feels, I actually do think that casual mode shouldn't be in Fire Emblem.

Idk if it's getting older or the significance of 25 years being a round number, but I find 9/11 a lot more sad and less funny than usual this year.

Small, private colleges are the biggest scam in college education. $50 grand per year when $5-10 grand at a state school gets you the same job when you graduate.

Ok. This has been occupying the ‘For You’ feed for a day or so now, like trust fund kids in city parks. And you know what? It’s not cringe. Not uncomfortable. It’s a young woman showing a talent. Not one I get, true, but I also know I’m not required to get it. It’s cool. Do your thing. Be quirky. And people, stop being judgmental about it.

If you visit someone's house, and one of the first things you notice is the dust on their chandelier, the dust on their tv, the dust on their table, don't ever go back to that person's house. Not because their house isn't clean but because your heart isn't. Someone opened their door to you. They welcomed you into their home with an open heart. They shared their time, their food, their laughter and their space, and instead of appreciating their hospitality, you focused on their imperfections. That's says far more about you than it does about them because people with grateful hearts notice kindness.Before they notice flaws. It's about honoring the heart that welcomed you with love and kindness. And all you bring into someone's home is judgment and negativity. And maybe the place that needs cleaning isn't their house. It's your heart.

I’ll never forgive them for fucking up our tech future for data centers. We were THIS close to $100 4TB SSDs

It's time to bring back bronies. I am a brony
