NEW: During an interview at the Xbox booth on the Gamescom show floor, I attempted to ask a veteran Obsidian developer for their thoughts on making video games at Microsoft amid layoffs and widespread criticism over the company's links to Israel. I was immediately shut down.

You need to hear this: conformity made the Nazis happen. If you support putting people away for what they are, you're a Nazi.

I'm worried that Hank's app being a phenomenon will lead to him believing his 1,000 other business ideas are also good.

This is fucking appalling. It’s collective punishment, it’s incitement to genocide, and the US needs to stop funding it. I stand with the millions of Gazans under siege and the hundreds of thousands of Israelis protesting against the manmade horrors plaguing Gaza.

*chef’s kiss*

A shooting in Crown Heights early this morning has stolen the lives of three New Yorkers and injured eight more. I’m grateful for the first responders who rushed towards the danger and worked to save lives. We cannot accept gun violence in our city.

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.

This hurts and why we need to get horses away from police work Fuck up the rider save the horse

all of us, at the same time

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

In goose meme form.

IMPEACH THE QUACK! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians. forward.com/fast-forward...

So good to see Arkane's workers push for this! Also a great example of one of the core benefits of unionization, which is just "creating a structure for discussion and systems to make collective decisions." Always much harder to get action at scale like this if there isn't already organization.

A devastating crash in Astoria has left three people dead. I'm heartbroken for the victims and their loved ones. We can't normalize this. It's time to commit to streets that are safe for everyone.

Also she took a bribe to drop a case against Trump when she was Florida AG. BTW crime in DC and Baltimore have both dropped to record lows recently. This is quite simply an authoritarian takeover. It will not stop here.

CALL TO ACTION: If you are in the DC area, drop everything you are doing and go join others at 5pm EST in Dupont Circle to protest Trump’s illegal military occupation and efforts to federalize DC police. #3E #freeDC

I'm old enough to remember a year or two ago when both "we're not killing journalists that's illegal!" and "We're not bombing *hospitals* for god's sake" were major talking points. Violations of these things now no longer seem to even register. Christ.

A reminder that the mRNA vaccine technology saved millions of lives during the Covid pandemic and received the 2023 Nobel Prize for Medicine

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

We need leaders in Congress who will do what Trump can’t and say the truth that Putin is a war criminal who needs to be arrested and tried at the ICC. If you want to learn more about me and my plan for a humane and consistent foreign policy, check out my platform here: Katforillinois.com/issues

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine. Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

this is so embarrassing i could throw up

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice* This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

What's a busway? Allow us to explain. bsky.app/profile/zohr...

Exactly my thought. After seeing "original post that chatgpt stole" it's so likely that a similar picture exists but was corrupted into this

Thank you everyone for coming!! I know listening to our lawyer describe the ins and outs of petitioning isn't very glamorous, but y'all packed the house anyway. Let's get on the ballot!!!

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Unbelievable. National disgrace.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

United States. Your president is a pedophile. Your president supports snx trafficking. Your children are not safe. youtube.com/shorts/G0Mwe...

Trump is laying the groundwork for a pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell, pretending that she's a reliable informant on Epstein and not his literal partner-in-crime, so it's probably worth recirculating the facts: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

WCK can use your donations. They are on the ground in Gaza, doing what they can in the face of a staggering and ongoing crime against humanity.

Palestinian statehood is an essential step to peace. That's why tonight, I'm calling for the US to join France in recognizing a sovereign Palestinian state. Read more about my stance and join our movement here: www.katforillinois.com/issues/human...

Abughazaleh: I am from one of those families. I do not want Israeli children to live in fear. And I don't want gazan children to starve to death. And there is no enemy of either state that could want me to wish that or excuse the starvation of children. It is that simple.

As a member of Congress I’ll vote to release the Epstein files. I’ll vote to hold powerful people accountable no matter how much money they have or how much they try to scare me. Join me here: Katforillinois.com

I want to know if the President of the United States is a pedophile. And I know the American people do too. I'm shocked that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than stand up to a dead pedophile. So why not release the files?

fuck yeah @katmabu.bsky.social

Workers at 3 of the most important US science agencies — NIH, EPA, and NASA — have now filed letters of dissent against their leadership.

when your claim to fame is being a climate change denier and then a genocide denier, you might want to rethink your whole life, but of course he’ll just become an even more smug fascist prick- the staff meetings at the times just sound like self congratulatory nazi circle jerks at this point

Reminder. Musk did a Nazi salute. That's antisemitic.
