Just hours before the 2026 #MetGala, hundreds gathered in the Meatpacking District to watch people walk down a different red carpet in custom couture. The "Ball Without Billionaires" - a runway show co-hosted by fashion stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson and 'Abbott Elementary' actress Lisa Ann Walter

Chris Smalls, the labor organizer and activist known for his role in leading Amazon worker organization, was allegedly tackled outside of the #MetGala by security.

you can use emissive decals for very cheap fake lights

yes i 3D modeled that shit !!!!!!!!!!!

"openai.com" was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and "tiktok.com" was the quaint shared homepage of a couple as their relationship progressed from dating to married with a baby (2000). THREAD!!!

I think I'd take the controller personally

Not really an artist, but

Here's a small piece of my part for a school MAP! TETOOOO❣️

if they had this tech in peak yaoi paddle era i feel like by now society would either have invented infinite clean energy or several american cities would have fully burned to the ground maybe both

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

The dumbest, worst, most annoying person has already done the thing you want to do and someone probably loved it. So you might as well just make the thing

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

TALK ANNOUNCEMENTS📢 No Games For Genocide Palestinian Voices in Games Multiple orgs will be speaking on the intersections between the games industry and Palestine, exploring the ways in which the games industry can divest from an ongoing genocide, and how to support Palestinian game creators

take off

🌴Los Angeles UVW-CWA members!🌴 International Workers' Day is upon us! We have a lot going on this May, check out what your local chapter is up to and get connected!

Every worker deserves a union, including the workers whose creative labor earns billions in revenue for Hasbro and WOTC. I urge them to voluntarily recognize their union today!

Happy Shellday

Got really bored so I did this

so I've been working again on Abyssal Fugue— concept is a fluid, expressive, acrobatic platformer mixing in melee combat, largely aerial "soulsickness" is the key word, thematically / aesthetically set in a metaphysically distorted space, mixing classic / medieval themes and sci-fi

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

I am really heartened to see how many folks in the industry are unionizing now, and I've seen first and second and third hand how useful its been in protecting workers across gamedev. We are stronger at every level when developers have a voice in how their companies are run.

Unionizing to me is as obvious to me as breathing now, but there was a time a few years back that I was sure that I could just make the games industry better without needing to unionize.

The interesting thing to me about the games industry is that every team I've witnessed unionize, tired to get their company to listen to and work with them for years without a union, and the companies just wouldn't work with employees.

this shit is so stupid istg

This is terrifying

So I rebuilt the collection mechanic in GAS. I am shocked at how much simpler it was using this method. And the vfx is sooo much cheaper too since I was able to make the strings a single system now. Next to actually make Scrap(🔩) and Energy(🐟) do things as well as their art. #CherubDev #UE5

Fellas, is it "romantic" to expect to make a living wage

In Seattle's Pike Place Market, vendors claimed that removing cars would cripple them. Nope. Sales actually rose. Remember: Studies show that biz owners consistently exaggerate how many customers drive and undercount those who walk, bike, or ride transit. Info: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

this would be a huge loss if they paid taxes

Ubi Halifax was closed soon after unionization, meaning they never got a first contract in place & never paid union dues. Nonetheless CWA & their lawyers fought for them & got them better severance (I presume, I don’t know the details), which I find very rad ✊ It’s never too late to unionize!

"I just don't think unionizing the games industry will work" Okay so why is it working then 👀

Magic: The Gathering Arena devs are unionizing to deliver generative AI and layoff protections 'We know the workers that make the game can and should be treated better.'

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

gonna rework the walk animation, but the rig seems to be working fine #gamedev #godot #b3d #lopoly #pixelart #animation

I take a deep, deep pride in doing this job. But boy howdy does it grate when I see hundreds of elite "colleagues" crow half-heartedly about press freedom as they sit and dine off gilded plates, and then some of them yell at us for having no sympathy when the violence comes to their front door
