One of the most insightful comments about game development came from a former boss. He said “Making a game is like starting a band. You can’t throw money at a new studio with random AAA veterans and expect it to crank out a hit.” 🧵

New Yorkers early voting begins today! Get out there and vote for Kathy Hochul on the @nywfp.bsky.social lind. We need to get 250,000 such votes to keep the ballot line & ensure that we win all of the things we care about including universal childcare, deeply affordable housing and taxing the rich.

This may be the most consequential midterm election of our lifetime: A "blue wave" is possible, but only if a lot of people like YOU show up at the polls and vote as if your country, your future, your health care, and our life depends on it. Because it does.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

Actual play is to RPGs as porn is to sex. It gives you all the wrong ideas about the real thing and doing it is so much better than watching it.

AOC: I think when I make decisions about my life, they aren't just rooted in polls. They're rooted in what people need, what is best for the country and what is appropriate for the moment… and I think that right now, the most important thing before the country is for Democrats to win the midterms

Ossoff: “You refuse to answer a simple matter of the fact about the 2020 election.” Clayton: “I’ve given you my answer.” Ossoff: “What is your answer?” Clayton: *doesn’t answer* Ossoff: “Isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this question?”

Political movements usually celebrate their successes. They build on them. They elevate them. Which is why the Democratic Socialists of America’s treatment of some of the party’s most successful women, including some of their own, has always been so bizarre. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Another Exciting Adventure in American Fascism

Jason Scott@textfiles.com

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.

The fact that stephen miller is saying the US is closed to asylum seekers from Haiti while granting asylum to white South Africans should tell you all you need to know.
