everyone gets to own one house. every house you try and own (or already own) after has you taxed into oblivion. this is a policy that would win every election in australia, but our political class is entirely compromised, so 🤷

As I somewhat expected 🤷‍♂️ The Algorithm does NOT love a video essay about 100 year-old cowboy movies that doesn't frontload the present-day relativity 🙄 So if anyone wants to help this one find its way to the sources, outlets, forums etc that will boost it we'd be grateful youtu.be/Y4KcKvDer-U?...

I am heartened by all the solidarity shown to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. At the same time, if all of those ABC journalists reported truthfully on the Gaza genocide from the beginning, none of this would have happened. Zionists would not have had impunity to destroy culture here.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

This should be more obvious to everyone, but we cannot let the people comfortable with the mass slaughter of children further shape our culture, our democracies, our future as a species. It's the path to a depraved fascistic hellhole.

Dr Gary Foley, Melbourne/Naarm, Jan 11 "A small group of Zionists demanding a royal commission are the same people cheering on the genocide of Palestine." "Aboriginal people had our own royal commission 30 years ago. Nothing was done. 600 of us have died in prison since"

My friend @garywhitta.bsky.social has made a podcast that’s I absolutely love. It’s a brutal takedown of today’s vapid Hollywood studios and it has a bunch of famous people in it. I was cackling when I listened to it. John Boyega is especially funny playing himself. Add it to your feed!

This is How You Get JARHEAD Sequels youtu.be/i5m-RHS1fU0

I’ve waited my whole life for this video essay

This is why #Cyclops is the best. I'm sure even @gailsimone.bsky.social can agree with this one... 😂

When are Australians going to realise Zionism is fascism? - racist - supremacist - silence critics (through censorship and violence) - infiltrate government & media - mass propaganda - victim complex - ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid Capitulating to Zionism is the death of freedom.

Should have been tweeting my Doomsday essay in response to every trailer so far. Um ... I stand by all of this: youtu.be/oizLp4D7C3g?...

I might as well just put this out there, but DMs are open if anyone wants to hire a writer/editor/multimedia person with: > 15 yrs experience writing/producing video & podcasts for major outlets (PC Gamer, IGN) > Known for fast, clean copy > WFH with HD game capture and high-quality VO capability

i am back at work today

The fix is in, folks. Maybe they could teach us how to murder 380,000 children under the age of five in a two year period as well?

Hate freeloaders who join in the New Year's Eve countdown for the last 10 seconds. I've been doing this all year. Where were you back in May

Tech platforms censor words, not meaning. It’s frighteningly insidious. This kind of censorship explicitly empowers bad actors by robbing their critics of the language to criticize. Euphemisms are often the domain of fascists and predators. It’s a domain that online media wants to gate us inside.

GM.

Devastated. Outside of consistently hearing him be very pro-player and anti-shitty corporate practices I can’t speak to Vince professionally, but personally he was such a down to earth, funny, warm person. The industry already feels far less bright without him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:

great game, great music, play it

I just saw J. Michael Straczynski hyping the 'Spider-Man: Torn' one-shot, in stores next Wednesday, and, well... I'm a '90s music kid, what can I say?

This is Private Pancake, he is good people. Buckle up and enjoy this monster documentary on Oblivion, the game guide and one man's journey to play the game "as intended" youtu.be/eco5ApbDkAk?...

Look out. #Supergirl lands in theaters June 26.

The is the most phenomenal trailer ever Play Despelote

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Here's me. "Hyperwealthy pedophilic genocidal dickweeds versus the rest of humanity"

Tee hee!… Get it? Get it?...

Game developers were here first. Not executives. Game developers make games. Not executives. Game developers have skills & knowledge important to the business. Not executives. Game developers deserve to keep their jobs. Not executives. Executives are replaceable. Not game developers.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

Just got hit with a $3500 vet bill, so taking the opportunity to remind folks that I'm available for all kinds of consultancy work, including stuff like mock/silent reviews, which I legit LOVE doing. Details here: www.lukeplunkett.com/consulting-2/ Thanks!

I’m glad to see my deep and rich Australian culture has found its place throughout the world 🇦🇺

Why be funny when you could be racist? This video ain’t just about White men that that adorn Black culture as a costume and build careers off of it - its also about the Black men that help them do it. Why C👀NS Invite Racists to the Cookout youtu.be/jpVi347f8Ro

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

I can make you see with your eyes closed!!😑

this was a business discovery to us! we wondered for ages why our subscriber base wasn't matching broader games media reading patterns; when we asked around, turns out loads of europeans simply don't like using credit cards. hopefully this is an improvement!
