Hi, please give what you can

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

What do you mean, "why's it got to be built"? It's a data centre! You've got to build data centres.

following last week's announcement of a ubisoft restructuring that will lead to layoffs and game cancellations in pursuit of (even more) cost cutting, five french unions representing ubisoft workers have called for a "massive" international strike

A few days back, @jamellebouie.net cited Trumpworld’s greatest weakness as their inability to formulate a theory of mind for their opponents. Likewise, Schumer and other centrist brains suffer from a complete inability to conceive of a theory of mind that isn’t consultant-pilled.

The best film of #Sundance2026 was shot in 1972. In “Once Upon a Time In Harlem,” the late documentarian William Greaves gathers Harlem Renaissance luminaries for an afternoon debate, preserving history as intimate memory. Invigorating cinema. observer.com/2026/01/sund...

Throwback to some drawings of Starfire I did for fun. I still really like them.

Normalize studio bosses being normal online (and with their team) about criticism.

🚨🚨🚨X-MEN EMERGENCY🚨🚨🚨 NEW EPISODE OF "HERE COMES TOMORROW," WHERE WE TALK ABOUT... "HERE COMES TOMORROW"! LISTEN NOW!!!!

The best thing we can do to support Minnesota from far away is prepare locally. If you're in the Bay, we're dominated by 501C3's and nonprofits, but this isn't their moment. Assemble the PTA, start a group chat w/ neighbors, literally call your friends. Don't let formalization stop you.

Thank you to everyone who helped out on this. The video game industry is a global one.

It’s that time again 😭 Sweet Baby Inc are a team of Writers & Narrative Designers, and we did not work on Highguard. Ask yourselves what it is about Highguard that reactionaries have connected to us. That should clarify who they are and what they’re upset about.

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

We want your games! Black folks making games, we want to see and share your dope trailers for your upcoming releases! OR some developer commentary over gameplay. Only requirements are - game must not be out (or released in the last few weeks) AND footage must be dope.

Fantasizing that it only hasn’t happened yet because Death is still preparing an intricate, painful, and truly disgusting Final Destination-style catastrophe.

You now have an opportunity to radicalize a good hearted normie in your life.

My first #Sundance2026 dispatch for @ebertvoices.bsky.social features three midnight movies: LEVITICUS, BUDDY, and MUM I'M ALIEN PREGNANT.

In the face of all the horror, it’s been amazing to watch the people of MN (and beyond) dismantle a fiction we’ve been telling ourselves for decades: that when shit goes down, communities would be reduced to violence and individualism. A moment for all the preppers cosplaying the apocalypse.

Don't despair, don't do or say something stupid, but absolutely get angry. The only appropriate emotion today is anger.

My favorite Bob Kane story:

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

Step Brothers (2008) :: Bulletstorm (2011) Feel free to discuss.

How was Daniel Lopatin’s score for Marty Supreme not nominated? I’m only just now being reminded Frankenstein had music (I mostly ignored).

Times are hard, and cancer sucks. Combine both and you get an amazing person in need of a boost & funds to fight the big C. Help out @gene.meme if you can, share if you can’t www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

Truly the best organizer is the boss. Without their horrible actions, hardly anyone would spend the time unionizing, but with their actions it becomes clear why a union is needed.

Iykyk, but the one thing I've learned about game dev very early on is that if there's a big controversial writing decision, the writing team will have flagged it, they were ignored, and they will be the ones blamed regardless

this one's been gettin' a lotta play in my head lately

Turnbound will be out on Early Access tomorrow!! store.steampowered.com/app/3802470/...

Being a bootlicking ICE Agent from any Southern state with 32 seconda of training and coming to the Midwest where we tank negative degree temps with a smile must be insane. The US equivalent of don’t invade Russia in winter Minnesotans were throwing water ballons at ICE.

I hope any friends at Ubisoft are doing alright today. Game cancellations - and the uncertainty that follows - sucks.

ALSO, time’s is tough and money is tight for so many of us right now and you don’t need my permission but: if you need to go after the (potentially) shitty gig to pay the bills, you’ve got nothing but my love a d respect.

Hey! Game writers and narrative designers! I’m going to *gently* suggest not applying to this role from this wannabe Disco Elysium successor. Feel free to hit me up in the DMs but it seems like bad vibes working under a bad dude. (Avoiding alt text in case they’re name searching)

Did you all see @ericcanete.bsky.social 's homage to Larry Elmore's cover to Dragonlance Chronicles?!? Holy fuck!

Over the four-day weekend, I wrote about how dumb corporate mergers have become and how Paramount trying to get Warner Bros. is an overlong humiliation ritual:

HUGE NEWS for trans people: We have the latest minibus, including the bill to fund the Department of Health and Human Services and it looks like there are no restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender people. docs.house.gov/billsthiswee...

Oops, just realize the dissonance and horrors of this world are fucking with my brain. Time for an internet break and food I prepared with my own mitts.

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

Not me fantasizing about workers arming themselves and fighting fascists in the streets

Same. I’m “Seal or no deal.”

words from lexi alexander, who had been suspended from this platform for being palestinian

I profiled Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, aka Jack O'Connell, for the NYT www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/m...

Scratch a transphobe and a racist bleeds

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

*Unzips mouth* This horror play I co-wrote is coming back from the dead with a vengeance soon. *Zips mouth back up*

URGENT AID REQUEST A sublet is being held for me(!) but i dont yet have funds to cover rent for it + my storage unit (still applying for jobs) if folks could help & share, it’d go a long way to keeping me housed thru winter! There is an immediate goal (by Saturday) and overall goal (before Feb)💚

I'm excited to share that Game Poems Issue 1 is now live at www.gamepoems.com/issue01 A new online literary magazine dedicated to exploring the artistic and poetic potential of short-form videogames by publishing new games directly in a playable format. Thanks for playing and sharing!

EVA Rebuilds are cool because it’s like “aye dummy, what if you fucked it all up major and everyone would leave you for dead or hates you now, but also you are probably not beyond growth, love, and a chance to change? don’t kill yourself, probably”
