"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot."
I like this kid.

If you don’t understand the reference, I am imploring you to NOT look it up.
Since I do not see the New World Screwworm issue going away any time soon, I’m just gonna make a thread I can pin to my profile.
Do you want to know why the screwworms have come back? Check this thread: bsky.app/profile/tkin...
Them: What is a "sundown town"?
DEI Coordinator: [very pained face]
Me: As the departmental giftschrank for Horrible History, I've got this one. They asked.
DEI Coordinator: Thank you. But you are supposed to warn them before you answer that it's very racist and awful.
Me: [nods] Yup.
Them: Oh no.
This new adventure for the Marvel Multiverse RPG is slated to hit stores on September 22. It's 64-pages, comic book-sized, and it features an opening comic scripted by Cody Ziglar and a complete adventure by me.
I had a great time working on it, and I can't wait for you to play it!
I am just minutes away from going live with Stan!

I know that it is against the constitution and the bible (and who knows, maybe mein kampf? I haven’t read it) for a white guy to admit that he has anything to learn from a brown dude, but… just imagine it. Imagine saying, “there’s a role model for what to do, both to win over voters, and as a man.”
I really appreciate the sentiment, but destroying the economy and environment to cover the country with data centers is really maybe just going a tiny bit too far to solve the “there are no dungeons in Gamma World” problem.
I would make a joke about Elon Musk playing Gamma World, but he’s clearly more of a RaHoWa or Senzar guy.

A good thread on screwworms. Talking to an entomologist last year, he also added that the pandemic was the first domino. Scientists couldn’t get to the facilities, couldn’t get out into the field to check outbreak reports.
5/ Experts point to several factors for why it came back:
1️⃣Cattle smuggling outside control zones
2️⃣In early 2025, roughly 15,000 USDA positions were eliminated, and a USAID-funded monitoring project was terminated
3️⃣ The loss of specialized expertise as generations of entomologists retire
