Growing concerned that Boo Boo might be the world's most photogenic kitten.

This is not even an American company. Americans aren’t able to afford insulin or other diabetes medications, BECAUSE YOU HAVE PRIVATIZED HEALTHCARE! There’s no reason to believe that if Americans owned Novo Nordisk, the price of insulin would go down…that’s fundamentally not the problem.

Look, I know it'll be a colossal hit, but GTA6 is entering Duke Nukem Forever Territory here.

There was no Future Class last year and there will not be one this year, because we had the audacity to do the thing we were good at and the powers that be that had underestimated us were too cowardly to put their money where their mouths were. 🤷🏻‍♀️

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

The Future Class was created in 2020 when a lot of companies responded to online critiques and broader social justice movements with DEI initiatives. Hard not to read part of the subtext here as the TGAs, like many other brands, trying to distance itself from "woke."

Gimme! And gimme Lego Star Trek games across all eras!

Hey, you. You have a greater opportunity to get this now. Do it. It's great.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

We are going to live in a world where the the marginal cost of electricity is very close to zero

Oh get the fuck out of here with that troll shit, NYT.

Drinking with a game director at a launch party. He said something through all the free wine that still sticks with me. "Making a game is like landing a plane while you are building it, and the plane is on fire."

Babe, wake up. Famine has gotten a rebrand.

Sticking by my theory that Trump wasn't just a sex monster, but he also procured and trafficked girls for Epstein. That's the stake through his heart. The end.

U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino admitted to lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month. https://to.wttw.com/4nJOtmp

Finally a big city mayor raised on “YOU CAN’T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”

What’s more Chicago right now than handing off 200 whistles in a Portillos bag.

Something tells me Trump isn't getting another military parade.

Feels like journalistic malpractice to not include the Torment Nexus tweet in this article

Newly discovered Zappa album just dropped.

just....enjoy this

The opening song to the smash musical MAMDANI, opening on Broadway in 2125.

Pope's from Chicago, a city of immigrants. He knows what's up.

GDC sent out a survey.

Nobody on Mamdani’s team can say it, but you know they’re all *thinking* it ⬇️

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021. The wave is receding.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Times like this I hate my fellow gen x white dudes.

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

[Exit Clown.]

Oh I know this song.

[bursts in door] never forget that Dick Van Dyke once got rescued by porpoises after he drifted out to sea on a surfboard

sorry but mamdani and cuomo should have worn blue and yellow hats, respectively

shout out chicago.

take heed, friends. impacts TJs, any Kroger chain, and wallyworld. across many states.

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.
