Absolutely ADORED @outerloopgames.bsky.social's Dosa Divas. It smartly expands upon the quirky charms and lovely South Asian representation of Thirsty Suitors while delivering a genuinely moving story about family, community and reconciliation. One of my favourites of the year so far!

A Netgalley ARC of @mizdoomcookie.bsky.social Morgan Lockhart's new cozy witchy romance :) A Curse for Christmas Past.

I am in a movie theater full of people who find the Minions hilarious.

The kids don’t want an economy that works for them they want the job system from Final Fantasy

In fifty years when people look back at the past decade or so, the big world-changing technological innovation won't be the chatbot slop machines, it'll be mRNA.

"I'll love you in every lifetime." Is that a promise, or a threat? This is my favorite story I've ever written. I'm honored to see it (and hear it!) in Escape Pod.

"The administration tried every possible way to have the Pope in the U.S. in 2026,” one Vatican official told The Free Press. Instead, on July 4, 2026, the first American pope will travel to Lampedusa, the Italian island where North African migrants wash ashore by the thousands." Clean.

Burger King fries are better than McDonald fries.

Weird times when I'm rooting for the Catholic Church. www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentag...

i want to cry. my first game. i've seen this trailer dozens of times and it still amazes me every time. so excited for you all to get to know Mesa and Santana, and all the other strange characters we're creating in this equally strange world. thank you so much for your excitement. 💖

Shut the front door. A new Brad Bird and Tom Waits voices AN ALIEN?! www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

And this beautiful game on grief is out now! If you want to support Arab-made work about the Arab world, history, arts, and culture -especially in a time of destruction and erasure towards our people- I cannot recommend this game more. store.steampowered.com/app/3451680/...

Rep. Scanlon comments on my story about the new FBI-led NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center 👇

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

Hey y'all, I was recently hit by layoffs at Respawn/EA: I'm a veteran #LevelDesigner with 17+yrs of exp in the AAA space (MP + SP, 3rd person + FPS). I'm seeking a Principal Level Design or Lead LD/Design Manager role (I've worked in both IC + management) if y'all are hiring/know connections!

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Under no circumstances you gotta hand it to them, but do you know how fucked up the situation should be for Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson call Trump vile genocidal maniac?

This is how to do it. Sen Chris Murphy also tells me: "Everybody in that chain of command has to think hard about whether they want to be part of the execution of that order." He predicts bombing Iran's power plants/bridges will kill thousands at the outset. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2087...

I would once again request to live in less interesting times.

I have nothing to say that matches the gravity of the situation. I just want peace and safety for everyone targeted by the insane whims of a madman.

I would actually love to know what is the point of Congress if they don't actually do anything to stop a madman from destroying an entire country?

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

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...

This bird looks like it's going to say, "Please, detective, you have to understand I have no idea who killed my husband and I'm terribly sick about it"

It's this little gem and it's not up for debate

Have YOU been fired because you‘re a woman and won’t do all the illegal things your boss wanted you to do? Have YOU been fired because you would degrade yourself but not ENOUGH? Have you been discriminated against because you’re not crazy? You may have rights. CALL POPEHAT NOW

Noem. Bondi. And he's joked about firing Leavitt already too. Both Noem and Bondi replaced with men. All pretenses that this admin doesn't fundamentally hate and seek to disempower women are slipping away. I only hope it'll be enough for some of those swing voter white women to notice.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

I forget who said it but the benefits of manned space exploration are equivalent to the benefits of giant panda conservation: it’s a big, sexy, publicly exciting project that gets people caring about the associated science, and when it’s done by government, the downstream advances benefit everyone.

Repeat after me: If they can overturn Roe v. Wade, we can overturn Citizens United… And we will.

The truth social rant against Gorsuch is going to be INSANE. Gorsuch all but delivered the "Everyone in this room is now dumber..." speech from Billy Madison.

This sucks

i think this is exactly right and it is part of what i was trying to get at last week when i wrote about the narcissism of the president and his allies. they fundamentally do not believe other people are real, and do not understand the decisions they make.

Jesus Christ. Sloptuber hoist by his own ChatGPT logs. Reminder that Alyssa was targeted for this harassment in the first place because she wrote an article dispelling the gibberish conspiracy theory about Sweet Baby, that's all it took.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have is a very based son named Saxon. He unironically ordered a cheeseburger in an omakase setting."

I promise you there are no politics in my witchy romance about a group of diverse witches struggling to preserve a multi-tradition holiday festival from a mega-church owning corporation that wants to turn it into a Christmas only event.

I don't think the owner of these shoes is ever getting them back.

Both front legs are in the shoes.

Bin candy at airports is my weakness.

We all seem to have forgotten one of the most truly delightful and surprising indie interactive fiction drops of the last decade. 17776 is ostensibly about football, which is why at first glance I thought I wouldn't like it. But it really makes me smile, and the world could use that right now.

the world is collapsing and yet I still own this.

I couldn't stop playing this until I finished it. It's incredibly inviting, and I love how many different things it built on the core merge mechanics.

THE FRUMPKIN IS OUT OF THE BAG! I wrote a @criticalrole.bsky.social book, you guys!! It has fistfights and smooching and disaster gays and dark academia and spooky archeology and political intrigue, and I am terrified and excited for you all to read it!! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760755...

"She did not look anything like a horned horse, as unicorns are often pictured, being smaller and cloven-hooved, and possessing that oldest, wildest grace that horses have never had, that deer have only in a shy, thin imitation and goats in dancing mockery."

oh my god
