The House of Hikmah is out on Steam, so I wanted to share some of the beautiful artwork the team did, starting with the Atrium. Serving as the 'Hub' of the game, the Atrium is where Maya returns when she is going to visit a new Scholar's Realm. #ArtDirection #TheHouseOfHikmah #VideoGames #Grief

If you're looking to pick up a detective game, I *really* enjoyed Murders on the Yangtze River. Really gorgeous background art, puzzle design is well-executed, and the story is excellent Also the MC, Shen is hot 🤭 store.steampowered.com/app/1746030/...

Isa Briones lobbing this out when The Pitt fandom is one of the most toxic around is braver than the Marines

"That The Pitt’s 2 major departures have both been WoC is “just a by-product of having a diverse cast,” Gemmill says" The Pitt *is* diverse, but only 3 in the main cast are dark-skinned WoC: Javadi, Collins (gone), and Mohan (gone). It's a matter of colorism. A spoiler-y 🧵 on my fave: Dr. Mohan.

Given Mejia's reputation as an outspoken progressive, it's notable that she'd on track to outperform the moderate Sherrill.

aside from my gobsmacked awe at how the pitt pulls off its practical effects, my feature on the finale is really motivated by a small set of questions: how does robby see himself? how does the show see him? and is there any daylight between those two perspectives? www.vulture.com/article/the-...

I am wondering if @mayor.nyc.gov is aware that today is #NationalLibrarianDay. A good way to uplift librarians in NYC and all library workers is to pay them more. Stick to your campaign promise and this will be a good start.

JUST IN: Democrat Analilia Mejia has easily won the special election in New Jersey’s 11th congressional district tonight. Mejia, a former director of the state’s Working Families Party, will replace Mikie Sherrill in Congress.

Multiple incumbent members of Congress are saying tonight that they concur with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that US-taxpayer funded military assistance, including Iron Dome and Arrow, should end.

36 out of 47 Democratic senators have voted to block a separate weapons package, specifically a $150 million set of 12,000 1000-pound bombs. List below

BREAKING: A record-high 40 senators just voted to block weapons to Israel, up from 27 last July. There is much more work to be done, but today was yet another statement that the movement for Palestinian rights is growing in the halls of power.

Statistically in one of the last GDC industry polls there were like six white women with 20+ year long careers, 1-2 Asian women, and ZERO black and Latina women with that kind of career tail length.

Also also a lot of dad games are about a guy being a bad dad and then gradually becoming a good dad, and if you tried to make a game about a bad mom becoming a good mom it would get raked so hard over the coals for her being “unlikable” it would make your fucking head spin.

She is 100% correct. Interviewing is a skill and requires effort and preparation. Most of these folks are just yapping into a microphone.

Why aren't students protesting?

A vote is expected as soon as tomorrow, so make sure your Members of Congress hear from you — demand that they vote NO on any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702 without significant reforms to protect us from the authoritarian Trump regime.

NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate. This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I think about this post all the time

1. Make you poor 2. Criminalize Homelessness (over 40% of homeless ppl have full time jobs btw) 3. Arrest you for being homeless 4. Extract free labor from you bc slavery is legal so long as you commit a crime

Keep calling, keep protesting, keep organizing. Trump threatened to kill an entire civilization w/ nuclear weapons just last week. We can't sit around and ignore this for 2 weeks. It's our duty to stop him. Get loud. 5calls.org/issue/stop-ira

he wants to normalize nuclear weapons. they are not normal. do not forget what he put us through LAST WEEK:

Statement from Swalwell "senior staff" shared by Fox40 reporter Nikki Lorenzo x.com/nikkilaurenz...

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?

Seeing a lot of hostility towards indie journalists who'd long heard rumors of Salwell's abuses but didn't report on them, & I'm sorry, but that's not how journalism works. This isn't sitting on a story for a book. You can't report w/o sources. You can't out victims who aren't ready to go on record.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

BREAKING: three *more* women have come forward to @cnn.com and accuse Rep. Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct, including Swalwell sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos: www.cnn.com/2026/04/10/u...

This bubble cannot collapse soon enough. A machine of lies built off theft and greed, causing untold harm to our planet.

That's why a key focus of the midterms ALSO needs to be getting new Democratic leaders in January

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

It’s not a ceasefire if the killing continues on one side. Mass atrocities are being carried out by Netanyahu in Lebanon with U.S. backing. (1/3)

Rarely has a people had such an *opportunity* to stop the evils of their government as we do right now. If we impeach and remove Trump, we will avert additional crimes against humanity. If we do not, history will judge us harshly. All of us. Yes, even me and you. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It's wild remembering a year ago hearing all the democrats saying "we need a Joe Rogan" and then everyone in unison pointed to Hasan, and now they're like... "no not like that. We meant an edgy white guy approved by AIPAC."

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Buddy, if America EVER gets through this...

I'm on the train back to DC – I call on all my colleagues to come back, too. Congress must vote to end this war IMMEDIATELY.

We didn't deserve this day.

What a result: A Democratic-backed candidate has won the mayoral election in Waukesha, the biggest city in the notoriously conservative Waukesha County. Alicia Halvensleben will be the next mayor. She defeated a GOP state lawmaker.

JUST IN: Liberals have won a decisive victory for the Wisconsin supreme court race tonight. Chris Taylor will join the supreme court, flipping a conservative-held seat. This expands liberals' majority on the court to 5-2. Why it matters: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine
