If ever there was a paragraph that made me grateful I didn’t go into video game development…

If you only read one story today, make it @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's breakdown of the Saudi-backed EA buyout, which includes thoughts from multiple business analysts and experts who explain what the $55B deal could mean for EA workers, its video games, and the wider industry.

I freaking love this idea… gonna have to track down my ward’s (and maybe a few others)

Absolutely outrageous to say that a uni’s academic press doesn’t serve its undergraduates. Non-profit university presses support and sustain a scholarly and intellectual system THAT MAKES TEACHING UNDERGRADUATES POSSIBLE. No presses? no fields of study, no professors, no college.

On the one hand, I’m glad to see it’s coming back into print. On the other, how is it that fucking no one at Marvel knows how to spell “Lieber?” It’s a name with some significance there.

URGENT: Stop Alberta's Premier From Overriding Charter Rights of Trans Youth Healthcare is a right, protected by evidence, compassion, and core Canadian values.

The use of colour in Lore Olympus is, first and foremost, an exercise in creating a vibrant aesthetic. But beyond that, the choices of colours in the narrative reveal additional layers of meaning that help to make Smythe’s world as detailed and nuanced as it needs to be. #LoreOlympus 1/11

Excellent article by @eurogamer.bsky.social. Fantastic work & a model for how other games outlets & games journalists should be covering this issue. Please read it and share widely. It's giving a voice to many developers often left unheard on paypro censorship

I KNOW it’s boring and I KNOW it’s whatever but it’s really honestly causing me so much “that’s… pathetic” how much of Buffy is just recycled recycled recycled Claremont kitty

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I searched libgen itself, and it turns out they have almost every book Iron Circus has ever published. They don't show up in the Atlantic Search because they were uploaded without author names.

@ironcircuscomics.bsky.social authors could help destroy them singlehandedly.

Is the twist how funny it got?

Do it.

Search your name.

Slightly diminish a book.

Ew, Pioneers!
