This bitchass racist was burning a cross out in Chicago, Illinois.

Context for Belfast riots

My family left what is now Ukraine because of anti-Jewish pogroms -- and those who stayed behind were killed in the Holocaust -- and I am completely comfortable calling what is happening in Belfast a pogrom

Nina Simone had bipolar disorder and struggled with her mental health her whole life. Didnt stop her not only from becoming an extremely talented and creative singer pianist songwriter but also a fierce civil rights activist. Absolute legend, truly an institution, nay, monument.

I think the most chilling thing about how Niantic uses geospatial data is how many children are powering it. Like there's a lot morally wrong with what they're doing but imagine the villain explaining the plan and someone asks "how did you get access to all that?" And they turn and say "kids."

I expect lots of companies will compete to become the standard for surveillance-based proof-of-work layers. The winner will make a lot of money forcing writers to pay to prove they didn't use AI. This is the start of a protection racket.

There is a problem with the stories we tell & the way we perceive how change happens. The Union of Pinnacle Tenants, the largest tenant-led union in NYC—are the reason Mamdani took action. Organized people power is pivotal. Top down stories of elected heroes (even ones we like) are not sufficient.

If you're in New York you can play Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?! for the first time at the Tribeca Festival Games Gallery! 🚚 💨 We're honoured to have our lil' isekai be chosen as an official selection this year. More info here - tribecafilm.com/festival/games

i am obviously not from the British Isles so my perspective here is biased, but I see this as essentially a question of national sovereignty. X is run by a man agitating for the overthrow and subversion of a foreign government and is protected from consequences by the geopolitical power of the US

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Here's the full article for those interested. Insanely bleak stuff, I don't think I'll ever be able to look at the Pokemon franchise the same way again dronexl.co/2026/06/09/p...

MOTHERFUCKER

More from Rachel on the Dominion Society. She does great work and you should be following her.

Details about money distribution and application processes will come later, but one thing I confirmed in advance is that you *do not have to be a dues paying union member* to be considered as a beneficiary of the fund.

The fund will be run and distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social, local 9433 of Communication Workers of America, paying their own operating costs. Looking especially for games that have not been in bundles before, or which are new to itch. Please share widely and let's help some folks.

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

well, it was a fun week of pretending video games were fun, but it's time to get back to the important business of making sure no game ever gets made again

Ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures, FYI. Employees were told this morning. And then many reached out to us. Companies trying to embargo layoffs and closures might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my 16 years.

Twitter/X is an enormous national security threat on a global scale, and a lot more nations need to grow a spine and start blocking it (and taking other active, aggressive measures).

The rebranding of EMS in Alberta has been shut down. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Reposts are NOT endorsements. Reposts are merely an indicator that I want to put my head in the posters lap after a picnic and have them stroke my hair as I doze.

BREAKING: Ubisoft is shutting down its studios in Winnipeg and Belgrade and making further cuts across its global publishing business. Ubisoft Barcelona is also facing restructuring. Layoffs are currently pending consultation and could impact up to 380 employees.

Far-right racist violence is ramping up in many western countries this summer. This is not a coincidence. Fascists have been laying the groundwork for years. Governments and courts are not stepping in with crippling punishments because too many politicians are sympathetic to far-right views. #ANTIFA

If reasonable people with understandable concerns about violent crime are allowed to take control of the streets, riot and hunt down perceived offenders, I have bad news for men who commit 90-98% of violent crime against women

I kid myself that I'm anti-carceral but then I see masked loyalist thugs storming homes with children inside looking for someone to lynch, setting those homes on fire, lording around in view of their victims and I think there isn't a pit deep enough to throw them into forever

very happy to see that the oot remake sticks to its localized title in the german version

The fact that they're leveraging existing sectarian social infrastructure against new targets is worrying particularly as we get closer to Marching season.

Will we get any accountability for the BBC's decision to center a fascist yesterday? bsky.app/profile/robe...

We need accountability for the victims of this pogrom and for all of those in the media and political establishment that have actively enabled them. We also need the UK government to get off the Nazis' favourite platform, X. bsky.app/profile/seth...

The BBC's own reporting includes the fact that hundreds of masked fascists yelled 'foreigners out' and yet the story is about how 'one MP says people targeted based on skin colour.' It's just that one MP is saying it. It's not that that's literally what happened. bsky.app/profile/chad...

Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors. This is being actively encouraged by the world’s richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Love helping myself to the work kitchen stocked with little snacks when I’m in office hell yeah I’ll have an energy drink and a Rice Krispie square when the 3pm sleepies hit!

tickets for me and my daughters already secured, I wasn't about to fumble this one and get worst mom of the year award because it sold out

The pro-shot of the West End production of Hadestown with the original B'way leads now has a trailer (and a release date). www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Q5...

[cpnt] Mostly social infrastructure, in fact.

[cont] we cut arts funding and treat it as a luxury, meanwhile parents' wages are stagnant and everything fun or good costs so, so, so much money. Young people need the same things as everyone else: health care, education, mental health services, and social infrastructure.

Alt text: A lonely, anxious, disengaged teenager is not made well by deleting an app. The app is just the place the loneliness goes. Kids are drowning in screens partly because we have hollowed out everything else. We fire school counsellors, we shutter youth programs, we reduce rec centre hours,

this article is circulating with a COMPLETELY bullshit framing and clickbait lie about it, the "ai cybersecurity" firm is actually training AGAINST AI and the conan series is about helping people spot deepfakes and other gen-ai material, beginning with the famous robert smigel video mouth sketches

There really is a tweet for everything

Polymarket offered me enough money to pay my rent for ten months for one post in my newsletter and I turned it down because I enjoy being able to sleep at night.

“nothing about us without us” needs to mean something again

bruh this looks like a bad mobile game ad i'm half expecting this guy to get his giant stack of pizzas, stop at a woman's house and she's smelly and covered in poop and then he rejects her baby so she suddenly goes the arctic also there's some foot fetish stuff in there somehow

NEW: Some of the largest funders of Sask. political parties are companies with no public profile. I went through corporate registries in three provinces to find out who was behind them, and found 5/6 of the top donations to the Sask. Part last year trace back to one influential family. zurl.co/23RQH

As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?

To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.

Creating AI profiles of offenders is utterly dystopian and could exacerbate biases and violate both offenders and victims rights if information is hallucinated, omitted, or incorrect. This is not an area where we need to feign efficiency by using AI.

so i lost my voice over the weekend and thought I was maybe getting sick and was dreading the possibility, even though I had no other symptoms but the lost voice... took my avamys a bit more religiously than usual thinking maybe it was my allergies

this promotion's weird ass posting on canadian facebook wrestling groups has been an object of fascination for me for a couple months now so i'm glad someone else has noticed
