Hey all! Take a look at this #GameDevJob. Junior level job, so great for those wanting to break into a studio. 😸 (Also, speaking as a fellow Daybreaker, the company is awesome!)
The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today
Have you raised hell today?
Finally got to talk about Bigfoot in my ESOL class, hell yeah

Okay internet. I BESEECH YOU. Especially folks like @runningboard7.bsky.social. I have a music query.
There was a mid-oughts dance / trance / electronica album that was basically all about UFOs and lights in the sky. One of the songs had lyrics roughly like...
“Make bad game? Fired. Make good game? Fired. Make incredibly successful game? Believe it or not, also fired.” Original source of meme is from Parks and Recreation.
the video game industry is a mess

I got to interview IL Congresswoman Delia Ramirez about her proposals to dismantle DHS, abolish ICE, and redirect ICE funding to housing and healthcare for the communities it targeted. www.publicnotice.co/p/delia-rami...
Paris prosecutors raid X's France offices. I hope they charge Elon, all the senior execs, and seek extradition.

Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.
A note from our editors:
This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

As for me, the job hunt begins. I’m looking for work in video and audio production, editorial (both as a writer and an editor), and communications. I’ll also be looking for a home for a few stories in the days to come. Check out my portfolio linked here. My DMs are also open if anyone wants to chat.
Feds have created a drone no fly zone that will stop people from filming ICE. It's not just above stationary facilities, but convoys of vehicles too.

I am serious. Foreign visitation to the US is fraught right now and it might be easier and less stressful for some outlets to hire local instead of sending one of their own. Please let me know if you're such an outlet.
what if I started writing and showing off/selfpubbing my fiction again, what if 🥲
I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years
Reread something I wrote a while back when I was doing a new fantasy project and it's...not bad. It needs some cleaning up. I was going to change the framing (was going to be a series of interviews), might make it part of a triptych and keep it as a written account.
Just having to move hotels will have used up hours of enforcement activities. Even a few hours is worth something. I would also like to think it's really irritating.
Hey, Portlanders! Billed as a town hall, the Jan. 21 event at Revolution Hall will feature attorneys general Dan Rayfield of Oregon, Rob Bonta of California, Anne Lopez of Hawaii, Aaron Frey of Maine and Keith Ellison of Minnesota.
You're allowed to yell at people for good, too. Make your voices heard
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
I’m developing a game where you have to go back to assassinate Adam. It’s a first person shooter.
The fun doesn't stop there, @lazyfishy.bsky.social and I have created THE worldbuild to lose yourself in "The Library of Memories"!💯✨
