"We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera." Indeed: That's not how it works! You can't make a political figure comment! And an office *not* commenting can send a message unto itself. Also, you don't just ignore a *major*, ongoing story because others have covered it.

My games of 2026: BEST GAME: Abyss World (roblox game) www.roblox.com/de/games/121...

I played this game which I view of as an FMV typing game amptomp.itch.io/how-to-walk-... I want more stuff like this. The only other example I know of is Maps of the Known World by @joeyschutz.bsky.social which is also great. I like the concept of mixing typing with film. Inspired to make my own.

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me! bit.ly/4aiUIKQ

Here's a brief thread of the fiction that has stayed with me most in 2025, a year in which I reviewed exactly 100 books, and was more grateful than ever for the chance to do so.

It's beyond depressing to see Fortnite continuing to glibly extricate images tied (for better or worse) to blackness and dissociate them from their context. Now w the Kim K champagne pose that's an homage to Jean-Paul Goude’s "Carolina Beaumont." Same as it ever was: www.vice.com/en/article/f...

💥Hungary’s probably most scenic anti-Orbán protest is underway under the banner “Let’s defend our children,” after new details emerged about sexual and physical abuse in the child care system — plus ignorance or cover-ups by authorities. Orbán rival Péter Magyar leads the march of tens of thousands.

It would be so incredible if at least 12 people wrote to @librariesftp.bsky.social about why they love their library :) 100 words! Take fifteen minutes this weekend to send us something?: forms.gle/oqTvmGJreEeU...

end of the first day, & we’re 35% funded. we had some generous donations right up front, but even small donations are helpful for funding boshi’s place. if you’ve got a couple bucks, consider it!

we haven't been very good about asking for money, but we are a space that is mostly funded by the people who run it (on top of the labor required to keep things running)! if you like what we do, it would mean a lot to us if you helped keep us afloat through a donation :)

Boshi’s, NYC nonprofit games space, is hosting an end of year fundraiser!! Your generous support is greatly appreciated. For more about how, what, when, where, and why, see the link in our bio. We love you! #game #nyc #donate #videogames #boardgames #giveback

Join us on December 12th for an end of semester showcase & playtest of capstone works in progress from Pratt Game Arts seniors!

the HORSES stuff is obviously ridiculous and depressing, but it is also worth asking ourselves: who has benefited from the "games are art" campaign? it has certainly not been the artgame makers, whose work continues to be shunned and dismissed as "not games"

Totally forgot to share the piece that I wrote for GI.biz - but that's besides the point; The point is that folks at @santaragione.com make very fascinating games and that we should put money where our mouths are and buy Horses (which is bonkers in the best way possible) when it comes out! 🐴
