Send my upcoming GDC talk to your favorite small indie studio boss who is feeling guilty about exploiting their workers and tell them they can convert the studio to a co-op- schedule.gdconf.com/session/co-o...

ask any popular indie developer why they don't start a co-op and their answers will radicalize you 🙂

obv this is about bad games/"indie will save us" takes but it's also wrt dropout doing copaganda... dropout is a company with a CEO. if you really care about entities doing business "ethically" then you're bound to be disappointed by anything that isn't collectively or democratically run

being indie does not preclude u from being a CEO, hope that helps <3

Tim Walz isn't declaring an eviction moratorium in Minnesota, so many families affected by ICE are at risk of eviction in a few days. Please donate to the rent funds at keepMNhoused.com if you have some scratch.

Directed at @seemo.bsky.social after they told me they were going to try working a reference to narrative saliency into a marketing post after I recommmended taking it out

There was a time before the 2024 DNC, when the Harris campaign was calling Trump supporters weird, when I genuinely thought they had a chance But I knew it was over when they ignored the Pro-Palestine protestors and covered their eyes / ears when walking past them reading the names of dead children

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

#FREELUD UPDATE: - Lud and others were *chained for 7 hrs* before being flown to Georgia, the 2nd move in 2 days in defiance of his lawyers’ habeas corpus & a court order. - The GoFundMe organizers are moving to contact media to boost the story and help #FREELUD. KEEP POSTING.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

psst... i will be at GDC despite it all and would love to see folks!! :^)

We have updates on Lud!! The money raised has prevented his being moved out of Baltimore to an undisclosed location, and his is pending an actual court hearing because he was able to acquire legal counsel—all thanks to the FGC. KEEP SHARING! FREE LUD gofund.me/130999163

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

Frankie and the Curious Cocoon Quest has a great review in the upcoming March Issue of @ala-booklist.bsky.social's Booklist! 📚🐛 Booklist comes out on the 4th, and Frankie shows up on shelves just six days later on March 10th!

DMV FGC cornerstone and friend of mine Ludovic Mbock has unfortunately been detained by ICE. Folks are trying to raise money for his legal fees, please donate if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/support-lu...

you guys gotta stop taking the bait i'm so serious

i find it difficult to sympathize with the eventual supposed phone shortage because there are so many perfectly functional pieces of tech that you can just, buy used. those phones aren't disappearing overnight

game development is the gift that keeps on giving (me grey hairs)

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.

Fun news! We're looking for a narrative designer to join our team. Help us work on Star Wars Jedi! ✨ jobs.ea.com/en_US/career...

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race

Terrible. The bill now goes to the Senate. Make those calls. 202-224-3121 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

this is willful, blatant bigotry. you can't even claim this is in the interest of countering scams, because they're equating being in Gaza with being a spam bot

the real reason is that we have a dynamic casting system for NPCs, so i'm taking pics of the possible spawn points for our notion documentation :^)

sometimes my job is just taking cryptic screenshots

Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies unwinnable.com/2026/02/11/a...

just an update from when we talked to the reporter: we’ve now successfully connected over 100 families for direct, peer to peer rent adoption. we’ve collected and immediately distributed…a lot. it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.

Resistance to the building of concentration camps is of the utmost importance. Salute to every person doing their part to say not in my community.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

the little animal in my brain wants to be making 5 thousand things but can only ever settle on one thing at a time. i was having a good run of working on a vn for a while but then i got obsessed with crocheting a blanket

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE. Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide: www.stephensemler.com/p/democratic...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

U.S. secretly deporting Palestinians to West Bank in coordination with Israel Palestinians arrested by ICE are being flown, bound and shackled, on a private jet belonging to an Israeli-American tycoon close to Trump, a joint investigation reveals. www.972mag.com/us-secretly-...

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

I added important sound

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.
