“The language that is in the Bill of Rights, the language of the Pledge of Allegiance: take that to heart and hold people accountable who are trying to dismantle that and take away your right to resist—your right to call out an injustice when you see it,” Candace Abdul-Tawwab said.

Big news from Valve today as it announces the Steam Frame, Steam Machine, and Steam Controller. Details here: www.pcgamer.com/hardware/val...

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship. Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

i love whatever it is i'm doing in pax dei

Tonight was a very bad night.

World is a bit shit but this is still the same week that Mississippi broke a republican 13 year supermajority so I'm gonna go do some cartwheels in the grass

If you worked/work at Square Enix and have any further specifics on the layoffs today you're willing to share, please reach out. Email and Signal in my bio, can keep you anonymous.

Unfortunately I’ve been laid off today from Square Enix, so if anyone has leads for any Community or Social positions please let me know. I’m just tired and heartbroken.

Hey! I've just reviewed The Séance of Blake Manor for @pcgamer.com - come take a look! www.pcgamer.com/games/advent...

Democrat Theresa Gillespie Isom Flips GOP-Held Mississippi Senate Seat in North Mississippi www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-the...

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

What we know, 10:20pm —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, *and* AG —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —Dems keep PA supreme court —Larry Krasner & Bragg win — GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices —JD Vance’s half-brother loses Cincy —Dems sweep Orlando council —ME anti-mail vote measure loses

Cuomo saying this election is about the identity of the dem party feels especially infuriating knowing all those mfers would rather elect a Trump over the most mildly left candidate. The racism and sex pest stuff is fine w/ them, they just don’t like that Trump is vulgar and public about it.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Next stop, primarying Schumer and Jeffries.

getting out my best stationery and wax seals to write this man a letter that just says "eat shit"

The GOP embraced the freakish dem strategy of mostly campaigning on how much you hate that other guy w/o ever addressing shit the average constituent actually cares about. turns out that doesn't work!!

I can't imagine being so embarrassing and running a campaign like Cuomo's and then having to show my face again in public I would pass away and die immediately

Had a couple of the world's nicest support people working to help me w/ my League account, and I'm so thankful for them. The only support experience I can recall over the last couple of years that hasn't been some AI hell.

Dick Cheney should've been prosecuted for the invasion of Iraq and it's a stain on the soul of humanity that he got to live out his life in comfort without ever being held to account for his crimes, I'll never not be angry that war criminals responsible for so much death never see justice.

Played through As Long As You're Here in a sitting and loved it. Really thoughtful approach to portraying a sense of time and place through the perspective of a woman with Alzheimer's disease who also spent much of her life as a caretaker.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Oli waved the Palestine flag, a trans flag, & sang "if Jesus Christ returns, we'll just kill that fucker twice," in a critique of powerful religious figures killing Palestinians. But there's still always an angry mf in a blue lives shirt that's "been a fan for years" & missed every lyric ever.

Begging someone to please god make a nice new 16:18 monitor because my pea brain struggles to write on any other screen that's not this satisfying to look at. Mine started flickering I'm gonna sob.

One of my favorite pages we publish each month. Such a great layout from @majora.bsky.social. www.pcgamer.com/games/pc-gam...

Rust diary day 2: He shot me while I was on the roof naked trying to hook up my cute string lights. I wasn't actually sure it was him, but then I heard the Welcome to the Jungle soundboard as I died.

This is moving because he’s addressing our community— but it’s also so so good, like, technically in terms of pronunciation. The authenticity of this campaign is off the charts because there are so many of us, from all different backgrounds, so invested.

There's so much about this that's super grim, but also escaped monkeys in Mississippi is a step up from the occasional escaped emu we seem to get once every ten years

Remember to be considerate tonight while trick-or-treating!

HEY! We're hosting a week of streams to help our good friend Brenden and his wife Jen, as they've been dealing with hospital stays and expenses. Tune in, share, and please donate if you're able!

In Dune Awakening, I lived beside a very kindly southern gentleman who brought me rocks and sand. In Rust, I live beside a man who put a plastic chair on top of his house where he sits and shoots at me every time I open my front door. I think he has a Welcome to the Jungle soundboard.

I cannot keep playing Rust I turn into the devil when I'm killed by a man

With multiple conflicting interviews around Arc Raiders' use of AI, I tried to pick apart what is and isn't "generative," how much that distinction matters ethically, and the tension between today's efficiency tools and tomorrow's eliminated jobs.

UPDATE: A TikTok account dedicated to posting racist videos featuring an AI-generated Black woman named “Lakisha” was part of a trend pushing racist disinformation about SNAP benefits TikTok didn't comment, but the account was removed after our report www.wired.com/story/disinf...

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

“Everybody around here just goes to the Dollar General,” said a Hoxie Street resident. “You can’t buy fruits and vegetables there like you can at a Walmart.” For people without a car, even gas-station groceries require a walk.

How is anybody STILL calling this a "Cease Fire"? 😡 "Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 96 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile"... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

✨Dallas ✨ and the month after I’m seeing Health. Blessed 2026.

the spirit of my dad wants me to go get his work gloves and take his old pickup to some dark Mississippi backroad and crawl around in the woods looking for this thing, but I must refuse

lost a bunch of work so now's a great time for anyone looking to work with or hire a guy

The Riot launcher is still protecting me from myself and won't install League, so I'm doing the next worst thing I can do and installing Rust

"i like when the doctor guy in outlast trials says 'i love you'" and the whole discord goes quiet, ok

I'm back to decorating the guest bedroom if you wanna come over and get haunted by some crap I bought at estate sales and antique shops

Ordered this guy from an artist in the UK and international shipping was extremely unkind to him but there’s nothing an excessive amount of fake moss, expired paint, and resin glue can’t fix

i've been thinking about that stupid kain highwind fedora for like a week now, square enix y'all need to stop stressing me out.

this is not to discount the good work that can be done in those conditions, because it was being done, over and over again, against all odds. but the Machine whirs on, and it doesn't care about quality. just More.
