Anyone who paid attention knew that there was no doubt about the official number from the GHM being an undercount due to its historically conservative approach and due to inability to keep pace with the actual death rate. IDF now admits, like it did in 2021 and 2014, that it has an accurate record.

Warmth and joy in darkest February to the comrades

Am glad someone said this cause honestly I've had a hard time (for multiple reasons) processing the news. The world is run by people who have shed all humanity and become monstrous on a level I can't even comprehend. It has been known. It is known. They all know we know. And ... Nothing

I am dragging my anchor.

Front & rear photos of the new Piccadilly line trains which were being tested a few weekends ago. I love the futuristic look of the trains but definitely wish the rear red lights were similar to the front LEDS. Taken at Turnham Green and Hammersmith London Underground stations.

Coordinated action disrupts arms factories at BAE Systems in Samlesbury, Leonardo in Edinburgh and Rafael in Newcastle, as well as an industry dinner in central London freedomnews.org.uk/2026/01/29/a...

I’m hiring for game dev contract work! Especially those with deep experience in Unity -> Xcode -> App Store build pipelines. Neo Cab’s build needs serious retooling, and the right person could quite literally save our game from disappearing from iOS forever. DM if interested, and plz RT! 🙏🚙💜

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

there are too many posts on here about "world events" and "AI" and not nearly enough about "Mitsibushi Delica"

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

I was on a flight home from Minneapolis a year ago today. I've been messaging my cousin and she has the same disposition as me, as most of my family: "we're getting by", "It's hectic, but we're okay", "InshaAllah things will get better". I text, then I wait. I get on with my day and choose hope.

Worked on making mini ice cubes... for Fuck You Ice.

Its time for the Angel on the Christmas tree!

I can’t stop thinking about Jazmine Sullivan‘s lower register. youtu.be/KgrCYvVYSRE

There’s only one way to find out if thin eyebrows suit me.

Just watched Children of Men for the first time.

GenAI is going to cost lives, again: "AI-generated videos have been clogging social media as Hurricane Melissa heads towards Jamaica, diverting attention from critical safety information about the storm."

Wrote a bit about a workshop I went to last weekend, lead by the Poetic Unity collective. halomedes.bearblog.dev/poetic-unity... They will be performing tomorrow at the Southbank Centre, as part of a free, poetry-focussed day organised by the National Poetry Library:

You are a clone named Watcher, and you’ve made a grave mistake. 💠 Surface a 1,000-year-old lie from the cosmic shadows 💠 Discover the forbidden truths about your god 💠 Unravel a tapestry of familial pain, love and revolution 1000xRESIST is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Game Pass on November 4.

I wanted my friend and I to daytrip to Paris, enjoy a pastry and visit the beautiful grand mosque, but the funds would not stretch, so I've instead suggested a day trip to a bit of London new to us that has an equally stunning mosque and wonderful bakeries! Same travel time for both itineraries.

A song by Frou Frou played automatically and at first I was like, Caroline Polachek? And then I was like, Imogen Heap? Anyway I think their voice is a perfect blend of the two.

my friend qasam is crowdfunding for aid to gaza! please share or donate if you're able to www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Books on the history of Palestine, including our free ebook From the River to the Sea, and our new releases Gaza: The Story of a Genocide, The Idea of Israel by Ilan Pappe, and Men in the Sun by Ghassan Kanafani

This’ll have to do until I find a shotgun.

The girls and I are enjoying the autumn sun ☀️ 🍂

Looking up whether there are any downsides to eating butter chicken every day.

Can’t figure out what’s more stressful for me: watching the live tracker of the aid flotillas approaching Gaza or not watching the live tracker.

🎃 SpookY2K is out now! 🎃 #SpooktoberVNJam You wake up on a cold bathroom floor, only to discover that you time travelled to a Halloween party in 1999! As you get closer to the other guests, will your clueless involvement let the party take a deadly turn? 🔪🩸 🦇 PLAY HERE: kigyo.itch.io/spooky2k

I don’t feel particularly British except for when certain British indie songs from the early 2000s/2010s start playing.

I'm presenting my @qgcon.bsky.social talk on "Contemporary Video Game Archaeology as Anticipatory Grief" at 2pm ET (7pm BST) today! Most of the talks, including this one, are being streamed live on Discord. Check out the schedule and more here: www.qgcon.org

The boycott works. Continue the boycott.

I’m learning how to reverse park into bays while teaching others a lesson in patience.

I found my car unlocked one morning. Totally intact, nothing was missing and, once I got over the shock, drove just fine. Can’t help but wonder if there simply isn’t a market anymore for compact and sturdy Toyotas from the early 2010 :/

the flotilla of humanitarians trying to bring aid to Gaza is being attacked in international waters www.youtube.com/shorts/cjw-h...

There's an hour left to help support a good cause and get some really rad games in the process!

You know I actually really liked Disney+ and Xbox Gamepass. But a boycott is a boycott. If you get to pick & choose the ones that don’t impact you, they don’t lose a real customer, and the boycott doesn’t work. If BDS says don’t watch Eurovision. Don’t watch it. bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS...
