Opt out tomorrow!

Exactly. Trans ppl are considered a “safe“ target, now that nearly 10% of the population identifies as queer, meaning just about everybody knows a gay person and is less vulnerable to propaganda about them. Trans people, on the other hand, are maybe 1 or 2% of the US population.

REMEMBER KIDS when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down. This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Kind of devastating how the things that got us all through the lockdown years - video games, podcasts, art - were made by creators who are now across the board being torn apart and tossed aside with no warning for the sake of a mythical profit margin. And by "kind of" I mean *supremely*.

I really appreciate that the library here at Blizzard has @jasonschreier.bsky.social Play Nice book, prominently on display

— rest in peace michelle trachtenberg. thank you for the childhood memories. fly high. 🪽🌹 forever my ice princess. 🩵

I've been screaming this for years.

i mean, fuck

Illinois public schools are not changing curriculum as it relates to LGBTQ+ issues, despite a warning from the federal Department of Education. (wgntv.com/news/illinoi...)

I hadn’t quite realized it until it was front and center in national US politics (my own privilege, naïveté perhaps) but I now see how many men especially on the right see a woman divorcing a man as worse than domestic violence

You can send feedback to Discord at support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req... - Especially if you are an EU user. Your laws generally require opt-ins and they did not provide it, nor an opt out. (Turning "External Apps" off in the settings/roles/channel does not work as some people claim.)

making visual novels is a great hobby, but what do you do when you want to turn it into something more? this month's article goes over some of the differences between free & commercial visual novel development! ✨ read it here: arimiadev.com/free-vs-comm...

I’m so fucking sick of the Democrats, man.

This to me is one of the central stories about current US politics. The tech barons who decisively threw their support behind Trump wanted commercial benefits, of course; but even more, they wanted to discipline their own employees. That’s the real content of all the anti-DEI stuff.

I strongly suggest that if you dislike this feature, you write a quick ticket saying so. Annoy the fuck out of them. ⚔️ support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

For everyone suggesting "just go start an indie studio!" to everyone laid off today from WB? Y'all got START A STUDIO MONEY? You got a few mill chillin in your accounts? I seriously doubt it.

1997

this industry can't go a day without unthinkably bad news anymore

Aaron Bushnell died by self-immolation in protest of the Gaza genocide a year ago today. His memory should stir a fire in our souls, and force us to evaluate our commitment to a better world. mondoweiss.net/2025/02/reme...

currently

remembering when i pointed this out and was threatened with violence mere months ago

the $5 patron sticker this cycle is this fella đź‘Ť

FINALLY wrapped up the first draft of the ingame map. The map is drawn to scale, so NPCs are positioned exactly on the map as they are in the game world (with some logic to "group" nearby NPCs together so that you don't have a bunch of overlapping icons).

Give my goofy little game a try! lmk your high score! #indiegamedev #studentgamedev #gamedev

That one Fate in Bozja that claimed so many lives #ffxiv

Fun trivia for all my Hat in Time friends. The Nomad NPCs actually kind of work like this too, where their default color is determined by their location. If you space them out correctly, you can start to see patterns.

"Disney and its subsidiary Marvel are complicit in glorifying Israel's regime of genocide and apartheid against Indigenous Palestinians." it's not just about canceling & not supporting disney+. disney & marvel as a whole that should be boycotted. movies, shows, games, everything.

wrote about the scourge of non-English-language propaganda and misinformation across the U.S., and why any serious effort to reestablish a durable liberal-media apparatus *has* to be multilingual in nature: slate.com/technology/2...

i think crypto trading should be classified as gambling. there’s no way you can convince me this doesn’t have the same affects on peoples mental health as gambling addiction

RESPAWN GAME JAM SPRING 2025 COMPLETE! So proud of Release Day Rush!!!, my entry for the game jam this semester! Please give it a try and let me know what you think!!! izzyjguti.itch.io/release-day-...

This. I'm not defending Musk's intelligence (which is hugely overblown), but we must understand that he doesn't believe the things he says. His statements do not reflect his *analysis* or actual understanding of anything. He doesn't want to weaponize facts; he wants to make them irrelevant.

Been playing this today and it's great! Very cool to see how Dicey Dungeons, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, and Die in the Dungeon all approach a similar genre very differently.

it’s this poem

i mean this so seriously. if you are transgender. please be safe. do not get caught commiting crimes. do not get caught by the state. do not sacrifice yourself, we will survive

If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isn’t important, you’ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, convinces the decades-younger mother of his latest child that he is too vulnerable to legally claim the child as his own

I love to clown on him but make no mistake he is a vile, venal little choad.

Hakeem Jeffries earnestly believing that this is a great time for him to go on a book tour is how you know not nearly enough of these guys are reading the vibes on bluesky

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

this is somehow actually what happened

I’m waiting to board the first of five plane rides I’m taking this week. Thank goodness our nation’s air traffic personnel have never been more employed and supported. Oh wait a minute

Absolutely this. I’ve been reporting on ASMR for over a decade now. It’s a relaxation tool that is supposed to produce sensations associated with being calm and happy, even lulling people to sleep. The White House invoking it alongside immigrants being shackled w/o due process is social manipulation
