The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."
Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Sad to say that I was part of these layoffs. Taking some time to rest right now but will be on the job search soon. If anybody here has open positions for software developers please reach out!

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day.
Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.
I don't understand why people ever watched the H3 podcast. Like none of these people are funny or likeable, and they don't even seem to like each other. Someone is going to have to explain what made any of this compelling
The cover-up continues. First they lied about what we could see with our own eyes & called Alex Pretti & Renee Good ‘domestic terrorists.’ Now they’re back to hiding evidence from MN state investigators.
MN investigators must be given access to ALL evidence. This impunity must end.

its very telling that critics in more left leaning spaces are obviously bummed out about corporations destroying the teams that worked on games they were often heavily critical of whereas grifters are reacting to bioware, 343 etc as personal victories in the war against blue hair and pronouns
Mike Rogers was just caught on tape talking about how he wanted to make sure that there were retired cops who could intimidate voters in the city of Detroit.
We deserve the right to vote. People have fought and died for that right. No more election deniers.
EA is going private under PIF and Jared Kushner's ownership. Wilson will probably make even more money while thousands of people look for work.
This isn't a win for anyone except the fat cats who want us to remain angry at each other online so we don't pay attention to their strip mining.

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it.
Massive fucking bummer.
As someone who was shunted out of BW in Jan '25, all I'll say is - the writing was on the wall when we were kicked out. I'm still wildly angry and bitter, almost 2 years out. My heart is with all the people losing their jobs. Reach out if you want support / venting / etc, my DMs are open for you.
Steam needs better tools to hide Ai generated games or ways to more easily filter this stuff. Normally id atleast go through the next fest demos and wishlist games but it isnt even worth it with just the sheer amount of ai thumbalnails man this is such a bummer
Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
Last month we lost our jobs. This month we made new ones.

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement, during a heated exchange at a town hall. https://cnn.it/4s7r1TL
Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?
El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t?
Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet.
El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.
It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…
Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account.
This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history.
But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests.
LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.”
“We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”
Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies.
A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish
this is also why you can’t trust what you see on any platform as representative of broader thought or consensus. you are being shown what they want you to see, and now more than ever, that conforms to exactly one worldview

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.
Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

"After nearly two years of bargaining, repeated delays, and a refusal to meaningfully address key issues, we believe collective action is necessary."
An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."

NEW: Democratic Congress member Ritchie Torres is introducing legislation in Congress to regulate digital video game ownership.
"A game that can be taken away the moment a company pulls the plug is not a purchase. It is a rental disguised as a sale."
