A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Minneapolis General Strike solidarity actions have spread to at least 43 cities according to our strike tracking Check our map here. paydayreport.com/minneap/

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years

Is that bad

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

Hey #portfolioday I’m a environment artist specializing in materials. I’ve done everything from props, vehicles, environments, photogrammetry, & shaders during my time in games: 🎨: www.artstation.com/chrisnvasquez Some material & sculpts I had fun doing on my personal time! #zbrush

This is how it should have been day one. This is how it should look all over the country.

“this isn’t the america i know” you don’t know a lot

love how citizens have to police themselves at every turn in the tiniest possible ways but a guy can be captured from 5 different angles in media res murdering somebody and everyone has to scream and demand that he ever face consequences

whichever candidate runs on prosecuting every single ice agent fuck to the fullest extent of the law has my vote

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens

Be sad and scared, but look for that part of you that says “no” and refuses to bend, and give it something to do to help.

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

Anyone in my feed made the switch to Linux? I’m building a little Ubuntu homelab server and a bit intimidated where to start. Probably gonna start with setting up Pi-Hole, but not sure what to try next

"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)" This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

I was shocked when I joined ILM as a FT employee that I would get paid overtime(!) and overtime pay(!!!) after coming from a career in games. Unions work folks!!

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

As somebody at a remote-only studio, I can only stare at the rest of the industry in disbelief.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

I played a lot of Consume Me over the Thanksgiving holiday - it's filled with so much charm. highly recommended!!!

I understand why people stay on services that suck but not Spotify. There’s so many other platforms that are 1-to-1 the same but with less garbage if not objectively better.

Working in games means your answer to the question "If you could do anything you wanted in life, what would it be?" isn't a different career, but the same career in a kinder version of the same industry.

Santa Ragione, a venerable, innovative and award-winning studio, may close due to @valvesoftware.com's unaccountable, counter-factual ban. From an early build of HORSES I can easily say it's another award-contender. Valve can still rectify this poor judgement. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-it...

Played Horses at a Day of the Devs and was immediately obsessed. You want to talk about games being artistic endeavors? SAVE HORSES.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

The thing that strikes me about replacing voice actors with AI slop is that, in the scope of a big AA/AAA production it barely saves money? These people aren't even full time. It's immizerating people because immizerating people is your goal, nothing more.

I always tell people that I'm not worried about AI doing what I do, I'm worried about people with control over my livelihood thinking that AI can do what I do!

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

No one ever questions this shit with superhero movies, which Bond essentially set the template for. Craig was a full back to basics reboot, just do it again. Also, since we’re doing Bond discourse, Riz Ahmed would be a great Bond.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

a better world really is possible. not later somewhere, but here and right now

Guy next to me on the plane was pissed about Mamdani and it made my day

Mexico City is stunning and all the food is good and the Dia de Muertos ofrendas are all stunning, including the Megaofrenda in Zocalo

specific maguffin aside ("TEH AUTOPEN") what they are doing here is laying the groundwork for undoing a previous president's orders due to mental incapacitation and we'll see how that bold strategy eventually works out for them I guess

I’m old enough to remember when Sonic started appearing on Game Boy Advance and Nintendo platforms it felt like “ok, time to wrap it up” and that’s what I think of when I see Master Chief on PlayStation.
