Who here doubted The Rumor Meister? (clip from July 2025)

Church of Scientology says the TikTok speedruns are 'hate crimes' Ex-Scientologist and niece of the church’s leader appreciates the trolling, calling it 'the only thing being done to make Scientology uncomfortable and to turn them into a joke so that [they don't trap] new people' (via LA Times)

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

That news that Daredevil: Born Again Season 2's viewership is significantly down absolutely sucks, because it's probably the best season of Disney+ Marvel TV since Wandavision.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I was on the NPR show Climate One! Talking about how games choose to interact with, or ignore, the climate crisis. www.climateone.org/audio/press-...

"Planet Earth, you are a crew."

An AI dares to dream that she is human. You’ve been hired to put her in her place. We’re sunset visitor 斜陽過客, the creators of 1000xRESIST, and this is our next game: Prove You’re Human. Published by our friends at @blacktabbygames.com. s.team/a/4533950

1000xResist was/is one of my favorite games of the past few years. It spoke powerfully to the personal and societal traumas from the early days of COVID-19. Now, they're making a game about AI? Of *course* I had to talk to them about it for @remapradio.bsky.social remapradio.com/articles/the...

And she has since been deported. Link here: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This almost reads like a parody. But it’s very real.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

Yeah I don’t this this is actually true

This new martial arts thriller starring Xie Miao and Joe Taslim looks insane. Watch the exclusive trailer for The Furious:

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics" ❌WRONG❌ Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.

EASY ALLIES IS A DECADE OLD! Join us on Twitch on March 31st at Noon for a marathon stream to celebrate! We're celebrating our history by going through the entire history of video games playing on physical consoles from every generation!

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

"we're heading toward a world where players and tech companies have the final say in what videogames look like, not their creators." Hot damn this completely sucks.

weird that this impressive lighting tech also randomly turns everyone into yassified, looks-maxed freaks. it's like all this technology can't help itself but sexualize everything it touches. but like, through the lens of teenage boys. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zlw...

A video game lawyer helps us understand what makes Outersloth's indie dev funding arm, and the contracts it shared at GDC last week, so revolutionary for the industry. New from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social

Four video game streamers and podcasters united to raise more than a quarter of a million dollars to support families struggling to make rent during the federal agent surge in Minnesota.

Blown away by this showcase today, everything in it is so fascinating and inspiring. I wanna make more games that are like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og6_...

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense.: "It’s not that AI doesn’t create efficiency. It’s that the capacity it frees up immediately gets repurposed into doing other work, and that’s where the creep is likely to happen." www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-i...

COMPUTER WORLDS IS COMING TO NOCLIP_2 A showcase of strange & distinctive games created by independent devs I'm co-hosting (more of a cameo) alongside @gil-lawson.bsky.social who organized it all. SAVE THE DATE: MARCH 12th - 1PM ET / 10AM PT WATCH & PLEASE SHARE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYRp...

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Watch this. 19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance. As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸 We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it. The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday. (📸 Middle East Observer)

This Anthropic and Pentagon standoff is not getting enough attention. Anthropic is prepared to walk away from a $200M contract because they’re concerned about how the Pentagon wants to use their tech for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. We are at a dangerous intersection.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

When they make movies about this in the future they will tone down the cruelty of ICE and border patrol, like Spielberg did with Goeth in Schindler's List, because no one will believe they were actually this monstrous.

Minnesota still needs your attention

BAAAAAAABE BABE BABE BABE WAKE UP THEY’RE RECREATING THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES

What a moment.

Together...

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

have said this a lot and will continue to say it regularly: doomscrolling creates hopelessness which creates helplessness, actually getting out there volunteering or just connecting with neighbors gives confidence and hope and purpose. it is really as simple as that.
