Shameless reshare because this handsome fella deserves to be seen more 🐸

Tonight, the Jewish holiday of Purim begins, where we celebrate and honor the courage it takes to resist state violence and empire. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians who face increased violence on Purim, while already enduring the Israeli government’s genocide and occupation.

AI could never

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

first kiss jitters 😳 #finalfantasy #ff7

Anyway here's a toad from a few nights back on a cool rock

the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country. In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits. This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

For those in the US, the correct position is to be anti-war and anti-imperialist. The US does not have the right to conduct regime change to either destroy the country or install a puppet. If US sanctions / war are constantly on the neck of the Iranian people, how can they ever achieve freedom.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

We don't allow players to place bets on their own games but we're allowing national security advisers to place bets on literal wars.

Only 25% of the white electorate in Gorton & Denton voted Reform. Farage may as well complain that the election was ‘stolen’ by white Britons who didn’t vote at all, or who voted against bigotry.

the mild manners are job security, baby www.noncanon.com/comics/2026-...

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Oh God the comments, some Americans need to understand there are people from other countries on the Internet

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

This fucking guy

IT IS HERE!!

Oh yeah, last week I wrote a thing about the recent high court ruling on bathroom access in the UK for trans folks, and what #videogame studios need to be aware of going forward. It is a Shit Situation though.. www.balancepatch.co.uk/blog/bathroo...

Today is a rare celestial event where the Greens win and its a Resident Evil release day! Happy Resident Greevil to all who celebrate 🧟‍♂️ 💚

I hate when I go to things and interact with excellent humans who then say "are you on blsky?" And I made a non-commital noise and then I am looking at blsky again 😤

The time has come for our newest trailer. Luna Abyss - Coming 2026. Wishlist on Steam now: https://bit.ly/4oxGIjO #LunaAbyss🌑 #indiegame #indiedev

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

I wrote a case study on the importance of and ROI for creating consistency during uncertain times for @balancepatch.bsky.social 👀✨️

Wrote about SGF, ICE, and covering the event as first-generation US born person.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Once again, Teen Vogue is doing the journalism needs to be done. Thanks for your hard work just telling the truth while other news outlets orchestrate a baseless moral panic.

Our new case study is now live: Creating Consistency in Uncertain Times. Check it out! ⬇️ www.balancepatch.co.uk/blog/casestu...

It’s probably bad that the future of America’s government pivots on a fight between Lex Luthor and the Joker

I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

Literally why would we WANT to though

I'm collating together who all is celebrating this year on a LinkedIn post so keep them coming! 🏳️‍🌈 www.linkedin.com/posts/leon-k...

Happy pride folks I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team. We have always been here. dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictrans...

Jonathan Joss, known for King of the Hill and Parks and Rec also played Robert Rainwater in Cyberpunk 2077. He was a great actor and my heart goes out to his family and partner. May homophobes rot and burn.

"but my nostalgia" "but she doesn't own the fandom" "but I'm not going to give her money I'm just going to keep her property culturally relevant forever" "but also I'm definitely going to give her money and just pretend I didn't" Children's media consumed by adults funding fascism. Wild.
