Yeah but they’ll patent the idea of animal companions in a video game. Fuck this noise.

I want to emphasize how unusual it is for an FBI director to be putting out evidence like this on Twitter within hours of a shooting. This is not normal. This is the kind of stuff that can compromise investigations.

I wish clothing retailers didn't stop selling shorts in summer. Especially considering that summer now apparently extends to october

Doctor I trust more than RFK jr

This is the only appropriate reaction anyone should ever have to hearing trunp speak.

I understand about Project 2025 and everything but most days it also feels like I'm back on the schoolyard watching the bullies picking on the weird kids. Like sometimes there really isn't any logic deeper than that.

I like how the solution for signing online forms is typing your name, but in a cursive font.

Industry: hey GDC, we need you to move out of San Francisco and the US at large because it's unsafe, deal with the still-too-common harassment issues, stop charging egregious for-profit fees, and for you to provide proper compensation for speakers GDC: we hear you but best we can do is rename it

#Primrows Weekly Challenge 24: Progressive Planting! This is a wonky one where you’ve got to set things up early for a payoff down the road, and I hope you enjoy the twist! Try it for yourself here: linktr.ee/tursiops @tursiopsstudios.bsky.social #indieDev

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

Technologically advance a band: Switch Teenage Riot

I literally never want to get a text from Al Franken. How do I stop this. How do I say, "I will never, ever, ever consider giving you money if you have Al Franken text me." Who do I have to convince that this is bad?

Here's an iron clad law of the universe: Any necessary correction will always include elements of overcorrection. Because people aren't precision instruments. Reactionaries will always cherry pick isolated examples of overcorrection to try and discredit any attempts to correct injustice.

Help us out and vote for us! I hear the voting closes soon 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

bluesky obsessed with censoring nsfw content but i can't avoid what actually puts me at risk, which is bright flashing gifs,

Yes Indya. Immediately putting this into a future slide

It's so funny to see companies learning that most people will act in accordance with their values but most of us just aren't as annoying about it as conservatives are

One thing Democratic Party leadership and pundits are failing to fully grasp is just how much trust has been lost in them. The average Democratic voter feels betrayed that in the face of a second Trump term, the Democratic Party pushed for President Biden to run again, all while funding a genocide.

This sucks for many much more important reasons, but you know maybe if you hadn’t just instituted a counter-productive return to office, Microsoft, your staff would have more options right now.

I keep hearing that the best way to navigate whatever’s coming is to find community. But what advice do you have for someone who’s been bitten and burned by reaching out to people she thought were community, enough times that she can’t reach out anymore?

Gamedev friends, If you aren’t attending GDoC Expo every year, you’re missing out on some amazing talks

idea: a stealth horror game for introverts called Midwestern Goodbye

New gender neutral bathroom opened in DC

actually wanna yes-and this: If people *had* pushed back when they pulled the trans girl out of moon girl and devil dinosaur (and at least one other cartoon that year) then maybe they would have been more scared of backlash and not pulled kimmel at all

i realized today that i didn't know jimmy kimmel and jimmy fallon were 2 different people.

like every late night talk show host, its a nothingburger of a statement

*deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

What I did last night: fixed literally every bug that was found while I was on a two-week vacation. I can do anything! What I have to do tonight: send two e-mails. 😱

For the rivals roster, I had talked about gender representation and someone replied to me with "Gender doesn't matter and if they did care they'd need to add more men to strategist" Perfect example of simply imagining women are more represented cuz there is 6 men and 4 women in the role.

Can you believe it?🤯 Game Devs of Color Expo 2025 kicks off today! You can do a virtual AMA with our special guests in Gather, kicking off at 11:30am. It's not too late to get your tickets, so don't miss out on networking, panels, our 2025 Direct, and more! Our event is open to EVERYONE🙌🏾

The event we've been working on all year kicks off today! 🙌🏾

what if, when you die, you’re stuck in purgatory until you can finish your entire backlog and it was supposed to be some kind of punishment or lesson or something but now purgatory is over capacity and full of people just relieved to finally have the time to read, play, and watch everything

Today I watched a video a close friend took of a random man in a car who decided to troll a very queer neighborhood in town to yell slurs at them. And then opened an email from a local LGBTQ org announcing the cancelation of a big annual event due to serious threats of violence made against it.

Life goal: pet one trillion cats

#Primrows weekly challenge 23: Triple Double! This is one of my favorites because it really amps up the risk/reward strategy. Here’s my first attempt — can you outdo the devs? #indieDev @tursiopsstudios.bsky.social try it here: tursiopsstudios.com/primrows

what I'm getting here is that the ideal video platform for 2025 would be a nintendo ds with a fullscreen video up top and a sort of hybrid hardsub/chat ui on the lower screen

My TV's latest firmware upgrade changed the screensaver to include an ad about LG's streaming channels. Who the fuck came up with the idea of enshittifying a TV screensaver? I am going to lose my mind.

You’re gonna love what this is in response to.

looking forward to finding out if this comic will pass editorial and get into the 2027 calendar

woman with five hobbies: what if six hobbies

question, not a proposal, a question are we allowed to say Brian Kilmeade should receive involuntary lethal injection or something, just kill him or would be that an example of the left escalating violent rhetoric because it doesn't count when they say it only when other people say the same thing

NYP really pulling the “DID WOKE TRANNY LOVER MAKE TYLER PULL THE TRIGGER?” playbook

When you write a piece noting that a guy promoted racism and violence, his followers immediately prove you right

You should say what the alternatives are so people understand what you mean by this. Not that they should go back to X, but that they can migrate to PDS.witchcraft.systems, selfhosted.social, blacksky.app, @transrights.northsky.social They can use zeppelin.social, blacksky.community, deer.social

Not really enjoying the love it or leave it approach to addressing some truly egregious suspensions.

"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me

We never addressed it properly and so it continues, and the people who fight against it will continue to have their lives upended because of a bunch of terminally online antisocial weirdos

plenty of things going against the right globally: Bolsonaro's conviction in Brazil, the defeat of the right wing in Norway's election, the student strikes and Saba Saba protests in Kenya (brutal as the repression there was), the EU's von der Leyen pursuing sanctions and trade suspension for Israel

At this point I’m half-expecting that if I post the phrase “Content that violates our community standards,” I’ll get a notice from BlueSky saying “You posted content that violates community standards.”

We live in the dumbest timeline and I can’t believe current events forced me to learn what a “Groyper” even is, JFC
