NEW:Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree.

The meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy descended many times into a “shouting match” on.ft.com/3WMSQSu

Hi Americans your president is siding with a war criminal and threatening Ukrainians with annihilation if they fight back, just fyi, if that even bothers someone

the degree to which i feel like i am living in the pre-title montage of a post-apocalyptic movie cannot be overstated.
This is an alarming compression of the planetary destruction timeline: with the massive growth of the AI bubble, data centers are expected to consume up to 12% of total US electricity by 2028, up from 4.4% in 2023.

good summary 😔
Once again, make a hit game loved by many... and you still get hit by a truck.

The industry is pretty sick right now.

A good interview with @locust9.bsky.social about BF3. After 3 years on Venice, I rejoined this in its last year of production, working on SP. I have both good and really bad memories of it, but wow, it still looks amazing. Still not a fan of the QTEs though :)
A couple of months ago social media was full of people being nostalgic for the BF3 Single Player Campaign. So I sat down with SP lead @locust9.bsky.social to talk about the design of the game, nostalgia & what it says about the current state of military FPS games.
