Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.

In case you were wondering whether Trump is racist when slinging his “low IQ” insult, here is a list of other people he has recently called “low IQ”:
• Kamala Harris
• Jasmine Crockett
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
• Rep. Al Green
• Charlamagne Tha God
• Kamala Harris
• Jasmine Crockett
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
• Rep. Al Green
• Charlamagne Tha God
Trump: "I look at Crockett -- this is a very low IQ person. And I look at somebody who comes from Somalia where they don't have anything. All they have is crime."

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.
Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.
In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

Narrator: They aren't "really gonna work with us."
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

It’s wild to me that this is a radical viewpoint. It’s so deeply human and normal and here we are fighting for it in 2025.
I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

At some point, we should really all sit down and talk about how America's oligarchs are pushing more and more of us into self employment, all while knowing perfectly well how harshly America punishes anyone who dares to earn their money outside of corporate jobs!
