god damn it dude

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I have a joke about game development, but since the reorg it’s no longer strategically aligned with our vision. It was a hard choice, but the joke’s position had to be eliminated.

An incomplete etiquette guide for attending in-person gaming events Natalie Checo of Sunset Visitor demystifies the tough balancing act of meeting people in person at game conferences

We heard some folks get nervous about attending gaming events in person, for a lot of reasons. @heartimecia.bsky.social has some hard-earned advice for having fun, being respectful, and getting the most out of cons like GDC.

The Pentagon says it’s ‘lethalitymaxxing’. Why has ‘incel’ slang crossed into the mainstream? With the rise of influencer Clavicular and ‘looksmaxxers’, sexist language from niche memes has infiltrated official government accounts and NYT headlines

The Pentagon says it’s ‘lethalitymaxxing’. Why has ‘incel’ slang crossed into the mainstream?

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

Trump administration drops appeal of court order blocking $1.2-billion UCLA settlement The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a major higher education case in which a federal judge blocked its $1.2-billion settlement proposal to UCLA over alleged civil rights violations. It will...

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

It still lives so strong in my memory, truly a standout in the GBA’s already stacked catalog!

I’d be shocked if this hasn’t been recommended to you before but Pluto by Naoki Urasawa is a fantastic re-imagining of the og Astro Boy manga as an Asimov law of robotics murder mystery

Same, I’m pretty sure that was the first game that introduced me to “this small missable action can lead to entire branches of story you didn’t know existed” - felt so infinitely complex when I first played it

I mean. What's the alternative? NOT having hope? Believing everything is pointless or inevitable? That's dumb as hell! You're living your life, why not think tomorrow might be better?

It Is Imperative That The Seattle Aquarium Hires Me To Handle Their Social Media

babe wake up new game dev canon text in the form of a katie chironis post just dropped

Blue page with Aquarium logo that reads, This month, we’re sharing some of the people shaping the ocean’s future through leadership, science, and community.

Close up of a wave and it reads, Access to the ocean hasn’t always been equal.

Blue page with Aquarium logo that reads, Today, Black leaders are reclaiming space in marine careers, building pathways, visibility, and collective power.

Man looking closely at a baby bird, he is wearing green medical gloves. The slide reads, Inclusive science is stronger science.

The Aquarium is more than a place you visit, it’s a place you belong. Inclusivity matters because the ocean belongs to everyone. mbayaq.co/46fBcMm

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results. This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop. But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie. The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money. We need people to: 1. "buy" the book (it's free) 2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book. That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.
