America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI'

In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.
In hearing of the passing of Rebecca Heineman, I thought it would be worth sharing this wonderful interview she did on @retronauts.bsky.social:

To add onto this, Jaquays also was involved in video games, particularly with Coleco early on and later with Quake and Age of Empires. I wrote about one of her projects, Tarzan, a while ago (sadly not long after she passed away, so I couldn’t interview her too): gamehistory.org/atari-2600-t...

A French journalist and a French Youtuber worked on a deep investigation into the “You wouldn't steal a car” PSAs from the early 2000s, but the most important part is that there's now “You wouldn't steal a car” baseball caps.

Heineman was an amazing talent in games. Here's an interview with Jeremy Parish from a couple years back that's full of fascinating stories.

Donc on risque d'avoir des problèmes en disant "Des viols, des mutilations, des meurtres et des mecs qui se filment en train de faire tout cela en se marrant, en fait la police et la gendarmerie, c’est Daech avec la sécurité de l’emploi" ? Faudrait pas que je le fasse alors.

HITLER:

CHURCHILL:

7
HITLER:

BBC PRESENTER:

'"If there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.” [Mamdani] was alluding to Donald Trump, but the sentiment also applies to Fifa.' Excellent analysis and advice from @julesboykoff.bsky.social.
"Tax exemptions allow Fifa to suck vast amounts of money out of its hosts. The majority of the cost of preparing the tournament falls on hosts, while Fifa pockets all the revenue [from] broadcasting & marketing rights"said @ncgeehan.bsky.social @fairsq.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...
