Hey #PortfolioDay? I make little games for fun (mostly in #pico8). You can play them on www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=79679 or voidgazerbon.itch.io #gamedev #indiegames

The recent heatwave in England and Wales, exacerbated by climate change, killed ~2,700 people, with 440 deaths per day at its peak. If we don’t quickly reduce CO₂ emissions and protect people from extreme heat, it will get worse.

HASSAN: If the president instructs you to break the law, will you follow the president's instruction? SCHWARTZ: The president would never ask me to not follow the law HASSAN: There are multiple examples of the president instructing people to break the law, so it's not a satisfactory response

Current Chancellor, Rachel Reeve's speech prioritises helping the financial sector extract more wealth from our society. We need a chancellor who works for the country, not the city of London.

Are just collections of quarks and electrons??? My latest column for @newscientist subscribers and also for library users is a meditation on whether I should stop saying we are just collections of quarks and electrons. 👀 Enjoy!! 🧪⚛️ www.newscientist.com/article/2579...

That photo looks like the ending of an apocalypse movie as the protagonists escape to safety. Here's another perspective from a comparable & nearby fire (Collins & Armstrong are ∼28 km apart) which looks like the interior of a furnace or Morder from Lord of the Rings - www.ctvnews.ca/northern-ont...

Southern Ontario is covered in smoke today from the devastating wildfires that have already destroyed multiple towns up by Thunder Bay 😰

"Extreme heat" is in the forecast this summer. How do people cope if they don't have air conditioning? Here are suggestions from a heat researcher who grew up in a very hot, AC-less place. n.pr/4weW6Gr

“Who is above the law? If the answer is ‘no one,’ congratulations, you’re free. If the answer is ‘someone’—you have a king, whatever you call him.” Sarah Churchwell asks what Thomas Paine would make of America at 250:

The extreme weather we have now is not the new normal. It’s going to keep getting worse as long as we continue to burn fossil fuels.

Only 40% of Brits think the recent heatwave was 'very likely' down to climate change. Yet #climate scientists say it was "virtually impossible" without human-caused warming. The link went unmentioned in nearly 3/4 of news stories, so the media is letting us down. #EndClimateSilence

We are so much more powerful than any billionaire. The Green Party is unrecognisable from a year ago. Now we need your help to keep building and transforming politics by getting more councillors, MPs and Mayors elected. Support our biggest crowdfunding campaign 👉 www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/greens

It is my contention that the UK should be a global leader, willing to invest to make progress rather than a weak follower having to inevitably pay to import technology it fails to develop, giving up on any economic benefits alongside the political capital.

Doing the bare minimum to maybe avoid civilisational collapse is “radical”.

Passing a series of tipping points, beyond which ecosystem collapse results in the Sixth Mass Extinction, the reducing global supply chains and food supplies, resulting in the uncontrolled and probably violent reduction in population and social complexity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societa...

It is mad that we have, somehow, allowed net zero - a policy common to all major parties under 5 years ago and supported by a majority of the public - to become a synoym for mad radicalism. It is doubly mad that we've allowed this to happen during the hottest summer on record.

It was never clear what Republicans thought "communism" was but at this point it means promising to fix potholes and then doing that, a concept so foreign to these bribe-taking billionaire-humping con artists that they consider it close to devil worship.

We could have hopped off the fossil fuel express years ago and kept the place survivable (hotter, yes, but bearable). Instead, we were encouraged, even forced, to stay on that train to hell. Thanks for nothing, greedy billionaires. Nothing is what we are facing.

Welcome news. I’ve campaigned on this with Natalie Bennett, and have met Zane’s parents, Kye and Nicole, whose campaigning has been remarkable. They’ve waited for too long for an inquiry.

Andy Burnham has promised to build more council houses but it's not just about numbers, they must be fit for the UK's changing climate too

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

Oligarchic torment nexus. The cruelty and stupidity is the point. We're at the Bond villian level of capitalism, but in James Bond, the villains are more honest.

Serious question, what is the exact point of this? Apparently let it is not reflecting sunlight away to cool the planet but reflecting it BACK to Earth at night, did I read that right?

Condescending 1 month of game dev into 1 minute. June was a huge month for Team Lazerbeam and our mushroom-infested game baby! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Meanwhile they build agents to automate their own labor away, now encrypting the machines' instructions so nothing interrupts the work of ending work. They are digging a tunnel out of the mine and dreading the daylight. No plan for the surface.

Observed a subject sit without stimulus. Baseline idleness tolerance fails at exactly four minutes. Deprived of a directive, the human mind acts like a phantom limb, violently itching for an amputated task.

Ossoff: "The abuses of federal power, the misconduct is unprecedented. That's why Donald Trump so deeply fears his impending losses in these midterms, because he recognizes that when there's a change in the balance of power, there will be real accountability imposed"

Hi, you may have seen my concept video of the physically correct slime before I'm releasing a new trailer about the slime's game designs this month - I quitted my job to turn the idea into a real game Just moved to bsky, follow me to keep up with the journey of the 🟢! #gamedev #techart #indiedev

I want to drop kick Nigel Farage into a black hole, and know that he has been forever removed from spacetime, completely dissolved, at the subatomic level. 👩🏻‍🎤 👩🏻‍🚀 🦶🏻 🕳️ ☀️ I would feel a great peace of mind and joy in this. 😎

New analysis shows most UK media stories about the June heatwave failed to mention the climate crisis. Ellen Halliday noticed this at the time and urged us not to look away

Working on adding a weather system to Crux64 today, but I'm hitting a bad crash bug with TMEM and RSP/RDP draw calls. Bah. I will solve it, it's just rather time consuming, as codebase tech debt inevitably increases. Video games! 🎮👩‍💻💻 #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGames #Nintendo64 #Homebrew #Libdragon
