Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

There’s also a deep and massive history of various kinds of racial, gendered and other identities making their way into acceptance in America through and only insofar as they contribute to the project of empire. Which is a conversation few are ever ready for.

Many reasons why I don't regularly use LLMs but the degree to which chatbot logs are accessible to the cops is the one I can never get past. It's like people saying I love you directly into a Ring camera.

"I hope you suffer"
Boring, generic, forgettable

"I hope one of your favorite series gets an uninformed and uninspired Secret Lair set"
Real, tangible, terrifying

This is part of why I hate them

1) There's not really a virtue in being honest if it's just attacking people out of anger and nothing else

2) They didn't seem to have a lot of empathy for those honest about their feelings about a certain right wing pundit two months ago
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

The Republican Party is a Nazi-allied party.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Its really the fact that they feel comfortable saying "I wish people didnt apply the lessons they learned from Holocaust history onto the undesirables" in public that blows my mind.

Since the star collection and post-star collection cutscenes in Super Mario Galaxy 2 have an average length of 30 seconds and a full playthrough collects 240 stars, the player spends at least 2 hours per playthrough simply watching Mario collect stars.

The Greens are winning the support of around half of 18 to 24 year olds.

Reform are on 5%. So much for young people's turn to the right!

And the Young Greens now have 40,000 members - the biggest youth and students wing in British politics

Obama named her to the US Holocaust Memorial council, by the way
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

@olivia-reingold.bsky.social adds a new lie to her pile here, claiming that "multiple outlets had to issue corrections" based on her "reporting."

Her own outlet disproves that.
Jewish Federations applauds Olivia Reingold, a staff writer at Bari Weiss's Free Press, as she victory laps her (ghoulish and erroneous) reporting that some of the children Israel was starving to death and denying medical aid to in Gaza had pre-existing conditions.

there’s some truth in this, but the gap between deep red and blue states isn’t explained by voter suppression alone. the white populations in deep red states vote republican at very high rates. both things are load-bearing.
I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there

I’m confident I’m not going to have this problem
I want to lay down a few markers here for folks as the clock starts ticking down to the release of the Epstein Files.

1) You are going to learn about a lot more disgusting and sickening things people said, joked about and maybe even did. You will likely be disappointed in someone you had admired
