This is Georgia Fort's website — the independent journalist also arrested today for covering the anti-ICE protest, along with Don Lemon. Donations to her page support her journalism — and I'm sure now her legal defense for doing that journalism.

Now the Cairn embargo is up I can gush about one of my favourite things in the game: its loading screens. These lovely, fluid configurations of rock, air, light, cloud, and water soften the blow of each and every in-game death.

It is often the position of the liberal left to eschew humanity because in the aggregate by they cannot be trusted to be good, decent humans. But you can't never get me to hate people. Ever. Because of exactly this.

I'm increasingly horrified by what I see happening around me and often feel powerless. But there are so many ways to resist. These are my thoughts on fighting back in one way I know how: With indies.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Coming up at 1pm Central, @ohheyitsjeffm.bsky.social is streaming Dogpile and Death Howl. Will he make the dogs howl? Will he create a death pile? Tune in live to find out! www.twitch.tv/minnmaxshow

did you know that @eteogreg.bsky.social and company's new studio is helping put out thoughtful games crit ON TOP of working on a cool secret new game? IT'S TRUE! Words about video games, check em out!

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

sorry for sharing the video on your main feed, but I think it's incredibly important that this can literally happen to anyone. you can get shot by these people in Middletown suburban USA it could be your mom, you aunt, you dad, your sister. it does not take a lot if this isn't the wake up moment..

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road! We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

I’m planning a column about women and games next year. I want to discuss how stories about women are told/received in games, and how does womens’ criticism exist- where/what is it? If you are a woman game writer/dev/critic and would like to share your thoughts, dm or email [email protected] !

Reminder as the new year begins that I head up GameSpot’s opinions section and would love to read your pitches! I’m always on the hunt for timely and thoughtful criticism and analysis on games and gaming/internet culture, so feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if interested ☺️✨

guy who just learned it's not polite to call an artist's work "content": hey man it's cool to meet you i'm a huge fan of your slop
