yes

it’s super cool that we have at least four different people who are speaking for US strategy here, only one of whom is the president, and he’s doing the least of it

The Israeli parliament has approved the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis, marking a major victory for Israel’s far-right, which has pushed hard for the measure. Per AP, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to the chamber to vote yes in person.

neither a garrison state nor an apartheid state, just a normal country, a bastion of democracy even, that happens to subject an ethnically distinct population to a different, militarized legal system complete with capital punishment

"Israel" doesn't start with a J.

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

people have covered all the usual stuff of how this just enables censorship and surveillance so i wanna say it's Cool how when mega companies fail and harm people, there's never any "-so we need to investigate them and drastically reduce their wealth and power". instead "welp, they said no"

Oh? The "role of money in politics" seems good. Let's see his latest work. Oh. 1. News: Trump gives some CEOs pardons *without* bribes. 2. Exclusive: Jim Comer's staffer gave me a letter. 3. Feature: Let me tell you a good story about a billionaire! Sigh.

Archivists are my heroes. Last week I emailed an archive I was at years ago and told them that I wanted to use a still from a film they had in their collection for my book but couldn't remember where in the film it was, so I just described it. They found it, digitized it, and sent it to me.

The population density of Tehran city proper is about 12,000 people per square kilometer. A known fact which is fully understood by those authorizing these attacks.

Game workers do not receive any residuals/royalties on shipped titles and shipping bonuses are increasingly rare. There's also no guarantee that your name will even be in the credits if you leave before ship, and studios will use this to keep you compliant. All of this can and should change.

Which is why oligarchs trying to control everything demand it. Nothing intimidates on behalf of fascists like universal surveillance. Now with the added bonus of unaccountable error prone targeting so no one feels safe. bsky.app/profile/nath...

DeComp/ReComps are probably the most positive thing going on in gaming atm, just an amazing phenomenon

now that it's out, i can share a coloring test i did for page 12! it ended up inspiring the colors in the final page that boon did. it was an honor to contribute to the final page Yardley ever drew for archie, both writing and art 🫡 (pencils: @yardleyart.bsky.social, inks @ursinetimes.bsky.social)

An unthinkable situation compounded by a bureaucratic nightmare. My thoughts are with Mike and his family.

The good news is that Nintendo said they wouldn't raise prices this fiscal year. The bad news is the current fiscal year ends in 3 days.

I’ve marshaled a lot of marches and protests at the Capitol. Only the 2017 Women’s March spilled across MLK Boulevard, and not as much as this.

saw discussion about how a lot of indies are funded by larger corporations & we need government funding for the arts, so i wanted to share this article about how gov funding can fail to actually reach creators often it just ends up going straight to the corpos who know how to apply

Tribune photojournalist Francisco Kjolseth captured this time lapse footage of the No Kings protest march and rally at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City. Read the story here: www.sltrib.com/news/2026/03...

I don’t think everyone understands that it felt like being occupied by an outside army. Because it was like that.

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Honestly a LOT of media industries seem to be struggling with this concept right now

I’m a white female college grad and I think that I am as legitimately and importantly American as a white male who flunked out of trade school and listens to podcasts at the gym.

I counted nearly 1700 protesters in Franklin, TN. Which is, uh, not exactly a hotbed of left-wing progressivism. #NoKings

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

There are people on this site dramatically underestimating the degree to which many many “Normies” have been radicalized by the second trump era Are they commies now? No. Is it all super defined by strict ideological commitments? No, they’re normal. But liberal voters are now fucking furious…

We said what we said. #AbolishICE

Lot of anti-ICE sentiment at #NoKings Urbana, IL, including multiple signs about Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed by ICE since the last No Kings protest.

The Gang Says #NoKings.

Gonna keep banging this drum but Indie Animation CANNOT survive on YouTube, the platform that can WITHOUT NOTICE change its algorithm or or deny you the audience you need to make your show sustainable.

Atlanta is showing up to say no ICE, no war, No Kings. #NoKings

i love how the concept of 'baggage' works in this world, where saying some mediumly rude thing on a livestream sometime is treated as cause for permanent political exile, but actual concrete political support for the mass slaughter of civilians in gaza is fine. mandatory, even

There's a word for this

not a big Hillary Clinton fan but the way the media is protecting the public from the details of Kash fucking Patel's personal emails is impossible to ignore

#NoKings Nashville

God, I am so, so bored of the tedious, pandering false umbrage at the suggestion that some roles require <gasp> expertise and education. At this point “elitism” is just the meaningless self-soothing mantra of trash.

The Villages have fallen to the No Kings forces

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gas is $6 a gallon. But at least now the president doesn't have to stand next to any Black generals.

a thing I've come to realize is that as an adult I enjoy many of the same games I did as a kid, but *differently* as a kid there was magic and imagination and wonder and all those buzzwords as an adult I learn more about how the mechanics work, how to play them better... I play to *understand*

if I were ever to write a followup or expansion to 'A Pivot To Indie Won't Save Us' it would probably center around how much midsized indies benefit from the ability to poach producers, QA and other roles from AAA, roles that indie itself makes zero room for other than preexisting domain experts
