one thing my decades of experience in online communities allows me to say authoritatively is that it's extremely good that the staff here publicly air grievances about the userbase on a regular basis, because that always lets the userbase know they're being rowdy and encourages deescalation
First reported by @decaturish.bsky.social, GA State Sen. Elena Parent will not seek reelection.
In 2025, Parent, who represents one of the most progressive districts in the South, east of Atlanta, dared a trans parent to find someone to challenge her for reelection in a recorded anti-trans screed:
Soon-to-be Ex-Senator Parent: "Trans people must go!"
DeKalb County Dems: "*Who* must go?"
yooo congratulations!!
So, uh, this is why I'll be at PAX East.
I'm giving the keynote!!
Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, told 404 Media in an email: βWe want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT." Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.
really great article and the experiences nico describes reasonate with me as someone with ADHD who has gotten way too invested at times in both work and games as ways to manage how my brain works
i don't know how to teach people to be more curious but i think that's what we desperately need
If you feel worried you could just repackage past promo or share smaller iterations or do AMA-style posts or etc, there are a lot of ways to keep people interested without spoiling stuff

Spotted from @remotegamejobs.com; GameDev.tv is offering 5 indie game devs $500 each as a sponsorship and applications close March 8th. That may be comparatively small to some, but to a lot of teams that can be a big help, and I love to see this kind of generous support.

Been watching it for the first time and really enjoying it!
I know journalism is a rapidly deteriorating industry, but it also feels like fighting a losing battle when folks on here are mostly sharing articles to dunk on them, rather than solid pieces from journos and critics out here trying our best every day to stay working and writing
What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
If youβre wondering what you can do, as many have asked: I know many are looking for a place to aim mean posts at them or whatever. Itβs pointless. The real and much less id-focused answer is I need to find more work. So if you hear of any narrative design/game writing openings somehow, let me know.
I'm still going through emails we've gotten for the show--the interest level is really energizing. Please shoot us an email if you're an academic expert or girlie from a particular subculture, and feel free to pitch us on one not listed here!

An hourglass with smoke alarms inside sitting on a beach. The sun is setting. The text reads: Time is eternal. Batteries need to be replaced. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarm batteries this weekend. Replace batteries, if needed.
Getting in touch with our custom hourglass guy.
I think I have some dried black lentils I could have added too but the barley already added some texture
I liked the idea of getting three "different" soups out of an hour or hour and a half of on and off work. I have a lot of instant congee and instant rice that I think will go well with it
