- Reposted by Jacob BurgessI’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

- Reposted by Jacob BurgessThere is a grieving process to admitting people we put on pedestals are flawed. It's okay to be hurt, betrayed. And hey, denial is part of grief. But that denial needs to be dealt with quietly and then overcome or you are pouring salt in the wounds of someone ALREADY in pain.
- Reposted by Jacob BurgessI do believe in redemption. I believe that people can make mistakes, learn from them, and improve. But I also believe that there is work involved in self-improvement, whether it be therapy or redirection or...it's all therapy. It's just different ways of doing therapy. Humans are fancy animals.

Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

- Reposted by Jacob BurgessThe community of a game is in many ways a by-product of that game's design, and of design considerations that need to be thought of at the beginning if you want to be intentional about them. When you're designing a multiplayer game you are also designing your game's community and social space
- Reposted by Jacob BurgessRE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

- Reposted by Jacob BurgessTo avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

- I have no idea how I missed that the last week of January is Goblin Week for this long, but I am grateful to know now! It's REALLY helping me keep my head above water. Bring on the fucked up little guys, internet! Let me rest my head on a bed of gobbos and breathe easy.

- Reposted by Jacob BurgessIf you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here: “Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”

- Procedure went smoothly, a 1000 times easier than the prep for it. Everything looked okay. They are gunna check some biopsy stuff and call me later.
- If you've never had occasion to drink soup on a toilet to get the taste of the 2 liters of laxative you had to chug out of your mouth and also warm up a little while actively pooping, may I recommend colonoscopy prep?

- Have a colonoscopy tomorrow. Need to do a clear liquid diet today. I have an array of bone broth, hard candy (not red or orange), clear ensure, and Fallout 76 to get me through. My vigil begins. See you on the other side.

- If someone wanted to capture you with a box, stick, and string, what would they lay out to bait you? For me, it would easily be a string of oreo cookies. I could see the box coming up, but if there were a big pile of Oreos under it? I'm done.
