Hi, my name is Ada - I’ve worked in games for over 20 years.

As well as my career work on games such as CRUSH, Fruit Ninja and Phantom Abyss, I have a slow burn Indie project: Lifeboat Earth - a simulation game about trying to balance the needs of civilisation and the sustainability of the planet.

We should absolutely see this as a betrayal, and we should vote and act accordingly. @ec.europa.eu has to be held accountable for selling out Europe - and the world at large through it.

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors.

This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

Hey so Michael Burry (the dude Christian Bale plays in The Big Short) just took out a billion dollar short bet against a few HUGE Ai companies…………

Reminder that he made mega bank betting on the housing market to fail back in 2008. No one believed that was even possible at the time.

This seems important
Germany's Friedrich Ebert Stiftung has completed and published on line the first systematic deconstruction of the oligarchic clique that stands behind JD Vance and Donald Trump. A project that American corporate media are afraid to touch (because... guess who controls American corporate media).

If you ever end up recording a final message, ensure you dedicate a good chunk of it to roasting your nemeses, like Jane Goodall did

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.
Here’s video of the incident

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

"Surely the President that refused to give up power in 2020, turbocharged ICE with sacks of cash, and recently conducted an Air Assault operation on a Chicago apartment complex will allow Dems to take control of Congress come January"

Hi Aaron, a thread.
The bot was not a harassment bot. You were ignoring a community that was rightfully upset and trying to get information about the job you are doing.
I used the protocol and the platform to build a bot that simply showed what you were doing on the network. yes, if you posted...
1) This was a spam network shared internally at Bluesky for investigation on spam likes. 2) I misclicked/unclicked, but a harassment bot picked it up 3) I continue to be harassed about it a year later

I'm offering a genuine response that I don't see the need for this continually to be raised.

So I guess politically correct means not dropping nukes now? 😬
Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
