On Saturday, @theverge.com's creative director @kristenradtke.bsky.social carefully watched a video of a shooting in Minneapolis, twice. Hours later, she found out that the man who was killed was her childhood best friend. www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

It's so refreshing finally seeing a party that is not scared to call the far right what it is It's a very low bar I know but it matters greatly to create space for alternatives

This is the tombstone of Gauis Calpurnius Receptus, a priest in charge of the temple of Sulis Minerva in Bath. Erected by his wife, it looks like an altar and is the only example of a tomb monument from Roman Britain where the job of the deceased is reflected in its shape. #TombTuesday.

So I'd reposted the @jank.cool announce from @grahamsmith.bsky.social earlier but I'm gonna instead suggest reading their first big post - a "best games of the decade so far". If you find yourself nodding along & grinning like I did, perhaps go support them! www.jank.cool/the-best-gam...

This is happening! An NH friend of mine lives just across the river from Maine and works over there sometimes. He said the locals are already picking out ICE agents at restaurants and bars, on the streets and at stores to berate them and run them off. Mariners will just say people are "from away"

Reform are well ahead of the Greens when it comes to recycling rubbish. *HIGNFY Guest-Host Eyebrow Wiggle*

When are the broadcasters going to stop ignoring the enormous phenomenon that is underwater football? There are 20,000 leagues under the sea

It made me think of the Wayne's World parody of the Alanis video, where she turns round to look and Ozzy is in the back seat waving a massive dildo at her

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Just warms our hearts SO much, this. Roebi discovered "Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture" after playing "Still Wakes the Deep" and shared this beautiful quadriptych they painted in their bullet journal on TikTok. Being tagged in creations inspired by our games - ah, just the best feeling for any dev.💙

It’s a reminder of how completely unserious our nation is that we have a live illustration of where this leads in Minnesota and yet everyone pretends a Reform government is just an ok idea.

For those outside the UK who may not have seen, we had a reckoning on media regulation 15 years ago, and the media won a decisive victory against meaningful regulation. TL;DR, they were caught hacking the phone of a murdered child, there was an enquiry, but they avoided all the recommendations…

Some safety tips for the big storm! Be safe, everybody.

It’s so revealing how the attempted bombing isn’t bigger news in the Australian media cycle. It’s so clear how it matters less if the attacker is white and the intended victims primarily Aboriginal. The hierarchy of racism in Australia is so transparent www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The worst thing to happen to Ant Workshop was when we didn't have enough success and had to lay a bunch of talented people off, like loads of other indies. Read the room guys.

Some of the spam mail we get is a bit, well, odd. Like the carpet cleaning company in Dublin that keeps offering its services to a roofless ruin of a medieval church. And today I got this one. I mean, maybe people are going to go to another round tower. Should I be worried? 🤔

Ok, it's fine again, sorry for the alarm 😅! For all "NON-GODOT" navigators: Here's how you change the key. I thought it would be not changeable. Did not look good enough in the short cut settings. It's "Viewport Orbit Snap Modifier 1" #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

Bug or feature? 4.6. is unusable for me rn, cause dragging in the 3D view snaps to fixed angles. You can get rid of the ultron irritating ortho snapping, but the snapping itself to fixed perspective angle stays. Anybody any fixes for that? #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

Downloads the Godot engine zip file, extracts it, runs the exe and it runs. Downloads the Unity install exe, runs it, hub installs, choose to install the engine, currently taken 10 minutes on a progress bar, “in progress, 1 of 4 completed” so far. 🫤🙄

Here are my top 10 most unusual dog friends of all time!

Still out of work for nearly 7 months (been doing contract and commission work in the interim) Sees job posting for accessibility manager in my city I seem to check all boxes Gets to bottom of mandatory requirements Driver's license needed. As a blind person, I can't tell you how many times...

i wrote about mothership.blog for @theguardian.com today by the way. thanks so much to @mackeza.bsky.social for the opportunity to tell more people about mothership and what we are doing with the site <3 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Good! And they should be all the way down Ireland’s Atlantic coast, as an ambitious effort combined with marine spatial planning and environmental protections, to shift us from fossil fuels and transform our energy capacities This generation’s Ardnacrusha

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

“It is perhaps about time we stopped being surprised by just how brilliant each new game from Inkle is capable of being... this is a piece of art that speaks viciously and satirically to so much of our reality.“

Gavin Newsom had Ben Shapiro on his podcast 10 days ago where he was cozying up to Shapiro. Newsom also said that ICE aren't terrorists, walking back his claim from days prior and also said there is no genocide in Palestine.

according to bluesky, working for ice is a protected class against discrimination lol

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6

Does TR-49 work on Steam Deck? Here's an entire article about how, yes, it does work on Steam Deck, via @pcgamesn.com

The problem is not capacity. The problem is who gets the capacity. TfL increasingly seem unable to understand that giving 20% more signal capacity to buses mixed in with other traffic doesn't mean 20% faster buses, but 20% more people driving. They have to do much more to separate modes...

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA. We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material. In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights. link.europa.eu/Fh8h84

Very soon I will be ✨available for work✨ If you’re interested in who I am and what it is I do/have done then here’s a little introduction thread about myself and my work.

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

My talk from December’s AdventureX conference, “Just One More Chapter: How to Write a Great Story” is now up on YouTube! Finally, you can see the context from that slide that went a bit viral and made people angry 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzY0...

Can confirm that being a journalist is occasionally very sick indeed.

it’s like on a Sunday morning. Imagine it on a weekday. And imagine how a less experienced cyclist would feel. But Mark made a great point, that this driver who was beeping would be much happier if there weren’t parked cars along and he could be in a separate cycle lane, … /11

Of course the driver didn’t get very far and soon stopped at some traffic lights. Mark was level with the window, and asked them to wind it down to chat, and they wouldn’t. We stopped for a breather and to have a chat - I was pretty cross of course. If this is what … /10

middle of the lane. And then something dramatic happened - he was honked and beeped! Really intimidated by this driver behind him who wanted him out the way. It was weird to see it play out - all he was doing was cycling along the street, where the driver expect him to go?! -/9

Interesting. We know which two we’d pick (it’s not the car storage, in case you’re wondering 😂). We then hit the road, forced to cycle in the lane with the traffic with the parked cars to our left. Mark explained that because of the door zone, he needed to stay in the - /8
