I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

Just getting to this @nytimes.com article about what a jawdropping bullshit factory, failure and fraud DOGE is. Musk is an historic disgrace, and what they've done is an incredible national scandal. Gift link. READ IT. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

"Nobody wants to work anymore!!"

Regular reminder that many people who don’t have children have looked closely at their lives and realized that they would not be the best possible parents for a child.

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Bad AAPL

Little gentle reminder to all the human creatives out there 💪

Yes. If these people gave a shit about "bringing good jobs back to America," they would be fighting to improve the quality of the jobs we already have. There's nothing inherent to the work of a taxi driver or waitress that has to be less secure than a 1950s factory worker.

“The people in this book are brave,” said Toad. “They fight dragons and giants, and they are never afraid.” “I wonder if we are brave,” said Frog.

things are getting let out of the box that do not get put back in without bodycounts that have commas in them.

Imagine living in the right wing bubble today where all of your media is blasting the message all day long that everything is totally fine, even better than ever before, and also you're gonna have to give up luxuries like toilet paper and a job that lets you sit down

I yearn for this outcome. What we have as an industry right now is unsustainable, and unsustainable in ways that are devastating to the livelihoods of those making games as a career. I am not kidding when I say I want smaller, cheaper games with worse graphics and less content.

We need smaller, cheaper games with less complex graphics and less content, made by people who work less and are paid more, and we need it NOW

I just had a terrifying thought: similar to how he apparently thought people seeking asylum were from other countries' asylums, what if he believes that the Federal Deficit and the Trade Deficit are the same thing and thinks he's going to fix the National Debt with tariffs?

“Can you explain the gap in your resume?” Ah yes, I remember it well, the sky above the port was the color of a television tuned to a dead channel...

Via @abreezeclayton.bsky.social, here's a tool to find out if your vote is on the list of those being challenged in North Carolina, along with instructions on what you can do next/who to contact re: ballot curing. Please share widely, especially if you're in North Carolina

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

Really remarkable how Wall Street keeps defaulting back to 'he can't really be serious, it can't just be Tariff Man Wants Tariffs' -- www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

WH has now confirmed: this is insane nypost.com/2025/04/02/u...

This part of the Tufts declaration somehow warms my heart the most: a full-throated defense of Rümeysa Ötürk's op-ed criticizing the Tufts president, signed by the Tufts president! This is how it's supposed to be!

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Let’s all say it together.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
