My glasses are going to be so cosy in their new cloth blanket! The cloth is lovely and big too, so I won't end up rubbing the glass with my fingers accidentally. 😄

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

What is impressive about writing your wizardslop in a café owned by your family as you sit around all day drinking free espresso eating free scones and then going back to an apartment the government pays for that you never clean? Like it sounds NICE yeah, but not impressive. youtu.be/NeFUqCrmPC0

Today we will be mainly posting pictures of artefacts that look like sweets. 🍬🍫

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

If Bilbo had Chat GPT

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics" ❌WRONG❌ Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.

Double check yours: bsky.app/settings/acc... And if having it on for so long up until now has gotten you into the habit regardless? Thank you and congrats! 💖

Wowowow i thought the man had magic blood this delegitimises the whole of the blood royal you cant do that dont get to pick and choose your betters thats the whole point innit what da tuna

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Do you organise talks at your uni? Please keep an eye on the tech! Keep those mic batteries charged. Get in early & turn on projectors, lower the screens. HDMI cables are quite fragile, so tell your IT people if they’re bust. You don’t want your speakers to arrive and be stumped by tech issues.

Considering gamedevs work on games more often than they breathe, a more challenging game jam premise would be to explicitly disallow game development for a week. The Literally Anything Else Jam.

Late on Friday evening, a notice was circulated from representatives of Peter Mandelson, via press regulator IPSO and the Press Association news wire, to all media across the UK We've published it in full 👇

This makes me feel a certain way, but it is Black history month, and I'm trying to live through this hellscape that is my home. Even if you can't give, sharing really does increases reach. 🖤 www.gofundme.com/f/i-want-to-...

If you are reading for awards, I would be touched if you would consider my novelette, "Phantom View." It's one of my most personal stories, about disabled people helping each other, whether they're alive or dead.

We're launching a website. Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers. jank.cool If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up. Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Very important: Just saw a stroller full of anti-ICE puppies!!!

Oh hell yeah! I loved the game jam version of this so it's awesome to see it getting expanded into a full release. I am gonna be all over it when it comes out 🥳🥳🥳 Wishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/4177670/...

AI isn’t going to take your job I am You’re going to go in to your next shift and I will be there, I will be wearing your clothing and your badge, I will be sitting in your chair, I will be answering to your name As much as you tell people I’m not you, they won’t believe you or recognize you
