Hey, I loved Pokopia and it surprisingly dug into some of my deepest existential fears about keeping the memory of people we've lost alive. It's one of the best games in Pokémon's 30 years.

@danryckert.com do you want this?

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

This is fantastic. Also difficult with how scarce funding is for everyone. Please back the Kickstarter & make sure All Will arise gets released.

You just can’t make this shit up at this point, man.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.

The best time to stop using Grammarly was years ago. The second best time is right now

Fucking ghouls, the lot of them.

"Why isn't Xbox issuing a takedown notice??" They don't want to! They profit off of this!! When you buy Xbox games, when you promote them uncritically, this is what you are helping fund.

computers should be cool

Explicitly capitalist media again shares a new piece that Long COVID is concerning, has no cure and again, embarrassingly, is doing better public health comms about this than most public health orgs. www.forbes.com/sites/omeraw...

Really proud of this piece and so thankful to all the sex workers who talked with me while I was researching! I don’t often see this framed as a speech and artistic expression issue but it is: Visa/MC are effectively crowning themselves art directors as they rip sex workers off.

This is... Not a distraction. The vicious mass murder of people is not a distraction. Saying that it is is its own kind of horrifying dehumanisation of those folks. It's crucial to look beyond the last 12 months to fully comprehend what's going on and also read from analysts outside the West.

The Supreme Court in 2022: Women do not have a right to make important decisions about their health The Supreme Court in 2026: Parents obviously have a right to make important decisions about their children’s health

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country. In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits. This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

We named a fleshlight after a war criminal. You're supposed to put your mouth on it

regarding the recent news

it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.

This game did so much for me at 21 years old. It had a huge impact on me and continues to showed me what games can be and do in the space.

presumably because most media ownership aligns with trumpism financially and therefore hires the kinds of writers and editors who are at best too feckless to be honest about the GOP

The GOP endlessly does this weird pseudo-populist pantomime on antitrust and propaganda and speech and the press is unwilling to clearly call it out as bullshit in ledes and headlines

If you're writing about this story it should not take you until the 10th paragraph to inform your readers the GOP is engaged in theater to ensure that right wing billionaire Larry Ellison can buy Warner Brothers and CNN

Following the release of the Epstein files Jk Rowling has deleted a decade of port logs belonging to the Super yacht Samsara. What is she hiding?

your regular reminder that journalism isn’t “dying” - it is being killed

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here. we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

in my view anything that announces right out of the gate that it wants to be mainstream, even going so far as to use the word, well, you already know all you need to know about it, but that's just me

MinnMax is teaming up with @giantbomb.bsky.social this Friday at 5pm Central for an ICE Out charity stream from our studio in Minneapolis. It'll be simulcast on all channels... www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow www.youtube.com/minnmax www.twitch.tv/giantbomb www.youtube.com/giantbomb

Protester in Minnesota: I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry *disappears into gas*

These insecure motherfuckers

Indeed.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

The UK government doing this to restrict the online interactions of everyday folk while simultaneously propping up and protecting the website manufacturing CSAM should lay bare their values, or lack of, if the past few years hadn't done that for you plenty already

Your daily reminder that having to do this radiates weakness, not strength. Yes, there are people who will buy this. But if they thought enough people were going to buy it, they wouldn’t have to do this. They have to do the hard sell precisely because they know how many people aren’t buying it.

Here are your rights if ICE knocks on your door

Kids are dying because they can't get basic services they need and the media focus here is on autism in particular when top health officials are engaging in eugenicist, eliminationist rhetoric? With quotes about ABA bringing 'normality'? Where is autistic joy? Where is ANY criticism of ABA?

The uncritical acceptance of ABA=good illustrates why we need not just more disabled reporters, editors, and other staff, but specifically disabled people covering disabiltiy and newsrooms respecting disability as a beat. Lot of parents-of quoted in here, but I don't see autistic self-advocates.
