Here is my statement on transphobia in the DFL, how I've tried to fight it, and how party leadership has allowed for it to continue: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Games criticism owes so much to Garrett Martin. Quietly one of the most influential people in the space, a guy who was happy to publish anyone that had something interesting to say. A shame AV Club is shuttering its games coverage. End of an era, long live Paste Games

👏👏👏

the speedrunning community was as toxic and as much of a boys club (if not more) as many others not too long ago, and the transition to it being a more queer-positive and inclusive event wasn't inevitable. GDQ's shift has been really meaningful and it's a lesson for what a lot of other spaces can be

While @amandafarough.ca and I were talking to some press folks at GDC, I told an old QA story that Austin picked up on and decided to write about. Behold, a record of my crimes: www.gamesradar.com/games/fallou...

i’ll be in san francisco for gdc starting tonight and i can’t wait to see some lovely folks!!!

Mikhail is one of the best editors I've had, he's sharp, smart, analytical, and truly took the time and effort each piece needed to make it shine. Washington Post will be worse off without him, along with the many other journalists losing their jobs today.

i can't decide if i am entirely happy with this build, but it was fun making a mediterranean mansion

A month shy of our 6 month anniversary (!), we're opening up freelance at Rogue. We're a small business, but we want to help build a place where new writers can flourish. [email protected] Instructions below! www.rogue.site/news/were-op...

something I didn't really account for, or think of, and this is likely very obvious, but doing volunteer and community stuff during a crisis really helps combat my own depression. i have to pace myself, but it's a way of achieving some peace in a time of no peace

Absolutely astonishing and inspiring how much MinnMax and Giant Bomb raised over $270,000 for VEAP, a food shelf and housing support non-profit in Minneapolis--they are directly aiding our neighbors who are afraid to leave their homes. THANK YOU @minnmax.com, @giantbomb.bsky.social 💜💜💜

An unbelievable thing happened last night. 3,083 people from the @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social community stepped up to protect the people in Minneapolis from ICE. You can still donate to VEAP here - bit.ly/iceoutminneapolis Here's the archive - youtube.com/live/SMcO71c...

ICE Out of Minneapolis! You all are amazing, and we're just getting started.... Watch here - www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow Donate here - bit.ly/iceoutminnea...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

ilhan omar is actually one of the bravest people in the world.

i love my home office and gaming space so much. my happy place

going to try a new building game tonight as recommended by my friend @chibacityjules.bsky.social - Town to City! seems like exactly the kind of zen experience i need rn

losing a best friend, a hospital stay for crohn's, and a military occupation all in one month has been too much for me. i ask for people to be patient with me because i'm not even past the grieving process for nick yet, and it's impossible to even take time to fully process with everything going on

We're launching a website. Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers. jank.cool If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

solidarity and love at Renee Good's memorial site today; a feeling of deep and profound respect for the people who are all caring for each other as we stood in silence. this is not just about renee and alex, but also a stark reminder of how we must protect our immigrant neighbors, full stop.

The incredible crew at @minnmax.com has been using their platform and voice to spread the word of the brutalities of ICE here in Minneapolis. Watch the chilling video below, share it as much as possible, and donate to their fundraiser for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota: Bit.ly/minnmaxgives

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

the amount of despair that's engulfed me today is just unbearable

Out of Minnesota folks: If you’re still looking to donate (and want to do so on a hyper local scale) here is an opportunity to do so!

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

the world is bad so i spent an ungodly amount of hours in the sims 4, making this sorcery academy this week.

Our neighborhoods are mourning, candlelit vigils and walks are being held on several blocks tonight and candles are being left out in remembrance of those harmed by ICE.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

there aren't words i can properly express either, the anger is all encompassing. i can't think. this happened in our neighborhood. on my fucking street. this needs to fucking stop

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

They beat and murdered that man in broad daylight on Eat Street and then all of them scattered like the roaches they are in order to avoid accountability. Their comeuppance will eventually find them, wherever they are.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

Abolish ICE. I'm so heartbroken and angry and frightened and livid. There really aren't words that can describe how bleak it is to be in Minneapolis right now. Minnesota deserves better. We deserve better. For anyone not here please voice your support, send money to non-profits and food banks.

spent two days making a fortified city and castle. as always, the sims helps my brain during the darkest of times.

If there are any European/Australian gaming outlets that still have a budget and want coverage of the year's biggest gaming events in the US but *don't* want to expose their people to well... the US, my email is in my bio!

Alright, here's the official I'm looking for work thread. After four years at Inverse, taking the lead on gaming coverage, I'm now completely open to work. I've been a reporter, editor, podcast host, and much more. If you want to see what I can bring to the table, here's some of my best from Inverse

I understand that with how the video game market is right now, that LIS: Reunion might feel like a safer bet, but it's really just frustrating how we're prioritizing old fanfare over telling new, good stories IMO. True Colors, LIS 2 are the best of the series because they were *entirely new*

Post a game you remember that nobody else remembers

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

If you want to help,. donating to the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee does a lot, they're entirely grassroots volunteer run so money goes straight to supplies and direct action! linktr.ee/miracmn

hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

i do not want the state to have the authority to kill people! not random mothers driving by! not people the state thinks look like they could commit crimes! not people who we think probably did commit crimes! not people who definitely, absolutely committed crimes! no one!!!

2026 really goddamn sucks so far

This Jacob Frey speech is incredible. "To ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

rest in peace, dearest friend.
