Welp. It can't hurt. #masseffectlives #savemasseffect #masseffect #bioware #ea c.org/jmzVGdYqBH

To be honest, vulture capital will hollow out every game dev firm, every culture industry bastion, every newspaper, every film studio, but something tells me that EA, once owned by Kushner, sorta hit Bioware cause it's Canadian and because it's an old culture war target and these guys are online.

This was inevitable once the Saudis and Kushner took ownership of EA. BioWare made LGTBQ+ friendly games. BioWare made games that rallied against racism, bigotry, and xenophobia. BioWare was not long for this world under their ownership.

Tried to keep mostly calm here. BioWare management shouldn't be let off the hook for its own part in the troubles of the past decade, but every story we hear about how EA mismanaged the studio is a reminder that this was entirely avoidable.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

Razorbeamz is literally this.

Everyone point and laugh at the stupid fucking shitlib who thinks there can be a massive Blue Wave *even if* Dems sacrifice trans people. This spineless dumbass doesn't think basic human rights win elections.

Well, which one is it, you deflecting fuckmuppet? Are trans people significant enough to sway elections if they don't vote for Dems, or are they such a small number that Dems can sacrifice them and still win? Hint: 1% of the population is 3.5 million; Dems can't lose that many votes. #TransRights

Job is ending in November. Zero concrete prospects right now. Would gladly write during the day at the office because there's nothing to do, but the lethargy/depression have sapped all of my writing energy. #WeeknightWriters

*Touches earpiece* I've just been informed that the Road to Dublin is now entirely smooth. Yes, it appears the Irish have thrown all the rocks at Ed Sheeran. #FreePalestine #EdSheeran #Macklemore #Ireland #Irish #TheyreHonestlyTheBest

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

I like dripping lines and descriptions that seem innocent on the first read but will make readers hate me on the re-read because of what I teased and they had no idea. 😈 #HorrorWritersChat

A Very Bad Thing to Do….

I keep having to remind myself that authors throughout history have written masterpieces during tumultuous times. Artists have always had to struggle with the balance of acting for the greater good and creating their works. If they can do, so can we. #WeeknightWriters

The world thanks Merino's face for its service. #ESPvsARG

Argentina spends more time on the grass than the ball does.

It began raining on St Swithin's day. By the fortieth day, something had started knocking beneath the house. It's odd. I've always assumed Poe was right, that my guilt would be a beating heart. I don't know why it's knocking; it's already invited itself in. I'll only worry if it moves up the walls

ACAB includes VAR

Infantino really jeopardized his standing as FIFA head by bowing down to Trump so that Balogun could go ahead and play, do absolutely nothing, and the USA gets their ass kicked by Belgium regardless 🤣

L - and I cannot stress this enough - OL

If not needing Daddy to fight your battles for you & you win 4 World Cup championship’s was a picture

Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?

Whenever people discuss the modern perils of disagreement framed as "people don't know how to be civil" I think about how civility is what got us to pogroms and concentration camps. It was "friends across the aisle" and lesser evil voting. It was letting bygones be bygones and trusting the process.

Yub Nub motherfuckers

Lolololol go cry to Karoline and Erika.

SPLASH MOTHERFUCKIN DOWN

Today's GOP

MARTIN SCORSESE'S ANIMANIACS

Maybe they shouldn’t have capitulated with Na-zhays

2025 was the year of Superman and Sinners. I left each screening in awe and wonder. 'Nough said.

If anyone votes 3, they're Ghostface. They're one of the killers. Full-stop.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Germany sends troops to Greenland. Germany has seen this movie before. They played the bad guys then. They want a different role in the sequel.

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

Lolololol "FIFA Ethics." Good one. #FIFA #WorldCup2026
