Currently making a video game about saving civilians in a civil war, and the research process is painful because of the atrocities that didn't stop from the past till now !

The Arab League of Misfits was always meant to teach people our Arabic wit and lore, even if you think you know it. I wasn't born and raised in the region, and it's not until my late teens that I lived there, and was always deeply frustrated to not get the street wits.

Reminder: rest is productive too. Extra reminder: you don’t need to deserve rest.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

On this day in 2024, the Israeli military burned Palestinians alive in a displacement camp in Tel al-Sultan, Rafah, during the weekend of Lag B’Omer — a holiday when Jews traditionally gather around bonfires.

I'm torn between believing people can do better and witnessing the reality of people being worse.

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

i've visited the library more in the last 3 months than I have in the last 10 years we can apply Murakami's quote here: when everyone's drinking from the same poisoned source, they're all going to be vomiting the same shades of muck we need to find better sources. and they're right there.

this is a masterpiece

This morning news I watched Israelis bludgeon a Palestinian's dog, the girl increasingly struggling to stand as each blow lands, unable to escape, until she collapses to more blows. Every morning, medics murdered, kids sniped, pets maimed, people raped, families massacred. It's what Israel does.

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

Wanna know what one of the poster children for data center noise sounds like? Turn sound on to hear Vantage’s VA2 in Sterling, Virginia. Reports indicate the noise is from gas turbines operating on site for off-grid power.

I made 2 games where the hero fights human trafficking and I feel like I should make at least 2 more games about the same topic.

@itch.io Hello, seems like the dashboard UI is broken. Nothing appears when I'm trying to edit/publish a new game. Could you please fix that ?

Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done. Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.

Reading is not just a revolutionary act, it’s a survival act.

🎉 Welcome to the Public Domain, BRATS (1930) 👶👦 🏠 This gimmick comedy used normal-scale and oversized sets, letting Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy appear as both adults & their pint-sized sons. 🎬 😂 It's slapstick at two sizes. Full short ➡️ archive.org/details/brat... #PublicDomain #PublicDomainDay

Congratulations on a job well done, bike guy

NYC Jews are risking arrest right now in the building where Palantir makes the products it uses to help ICE surveil, terrorize, kidnap, and deport immigrants. Jewish New Yorkers are holding a sit-in inside the lobby and refusing to leave until Palantir ends its contracts with ICE.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

Capitalism tries to make products seem like necessities. But they aren’t. They’re products. This is marketing. And you can say no to bad products.

Good news, folks. Everyone blaming GenAI are the best type of correct, technically correct.

This one hit hard. #denver #nokings #copolitics

Israel is invading Lebanon. It is not 'expanding the buffer zone'. It's an invasion - stop using the aggressor's framing.

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

In 2022, I did a story about life in "the metaverse," spending 24 hours as an avatar with no legs meeting the people using Facebook's VR-based social network, Horizon Worlds. www.nytimes.com/2022/10/07/t... Met interesting people who seemed enthused about it but this was my conclusion:

Just a reminder that the architects of the digital age were largely absolute losers who lucked into historic fortunes and undeserved power and are now forcing us into a future they are incapable and unworthy of creating.

Oscar-nominated, “The Voice of Hind Rajab" is up for best international feature film. Trump barred Wesam Hamada, Hind’s mom and Motaz Malhees, an actor starring in the film, from entering the country due to their Palestinian citizenship.

As the US attacks Iran, Donald Trump is following a blueprint laid out by a long-standing force in US foreign policy: the neocons who backed the Iraq War more than 20 years ago.

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year: -1.4 million people on Medicaid -19 million kids getting free school lunches -1.4 million people getting affordable housing -1.1 million hungry seniors fed -0.8 million children given free child care

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

No matter how desperately our politicians try to convince us otherwise, Israel isn't good for us. The new U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which Americans overwhelmingly do not want, is the latest proof of that. It's time for us to end the relationship. mondoweiss.net/2026/03/its-... #Palestine #Israel
