this may be the most English man ever to exist.

Katy Tur out here blaming The Washington Post's un-subscribers on the absolute failure of that paper's leadership. Shame on her! People vote with their money! They don't need to fund things they dislike!

When did trying to get clarity about layoffs at your own company qualify as "obstructionist"? F this guy.

A month-long boycott of big tech companies to protest ICE. Thanks for having me, @jaketapper.bsky.social.

Been meaning to get off AWS for a while but we are now at a crisis point and we need to vote with our dollars. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words. youtu.be/btqHDhO4h10?...

ICE is out of control. Congress cannot keep bankrolling ICE's abuses.

I think crunch in the games industry represents a failure of management and a violation of the social contract, particularly when applied "in advance" as opposed to in response to some emergency. That said, my feelings on it are complex. We crunched a LOT on System Shock 1 & 2 and Age of Myth.

WTF. I encourage people to read this. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

The three brothers in this article were my grandfather's brothers. My grandfather and dad worked in their grocery store in the late 50s after immigrating from Italy after the war. It was nice to read this article.

He’s lying

The guy who famously crosses every border in one night without documentation?

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

Silent anti-fascism vigil in Port Townsend yesterday. The signs say it all

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Happy #screenshotsaturday Been pretty quiet on here cuz goinyumbo.bsky.social and I are making a post-apocalyptic/roguelike/pool-like/balatro-like called RACKPUNK, CHECK IT OUT! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #rackpunk

CHOTINER: So you're attending a No Kings protest today. ME: That's right. CHOTINER: But according to Steam, you've played over 450 hours of Crusader Kings 3. ME: Okay, well- Now hold on. That's sort of unfair. CHOTINER: Oh? ME: Sometimes I play as a duke or a count. CHOTINER: I see.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat. (1 of 4) youtu.be/m16_Aw7asuU

Today I showed the designers that you can name cells in spreadsheets and use the names in formulas (i.e. "=PLAYER_LEVEL" instead of "=C12"). You can then use the Name Manager to track or rename them. I thought this was common knowledge, but I guess not, so sharing that tidbit here.

50% increase without any value I care about? Xbox Game Pass was already an expensive subscription - happy to cancel.

With everything going on with Xbox, WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE THE COMMENTS ON?

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

FFS

Cancelled my Disney+ subscription. Which sucks on a bunch of different levels! I hadn't even gotten around to watching Andor yet! It's easy enough to resubscribe if they stop being fascists, which I hope they do. But right now this seems like the easiest way to send a message.

Daughter: “Dad, can I stay on my phone until 11pm tonight.” Me: “No. How about 10pm? ” Daughter: “Sure. That's what I wanted anyway.” ... ... Daughter: “Also, we learned about anchoring in school today.”

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms. It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

if you wanna make video games as a career you have to enjoy the process of making video games. its not enough to just enjoy the end result. same goes for most types of creative works

Abiotic Factor is a fantastic game and this review is great too. www.pcgamer.com/games/surviv...
