ICE has now purchased at least 1,639,595 sq feet of warehouses in Texas they plan to use as camps. One just 20 minutes from my house.

And that’s just two articles I’ve seen this week.

They are not changing course.

First-time protesters flood streets nationwide.

Not activists—ordinary people who've seen ICE murder their neighbors.

This movement doesn't ask permission. It demands: STOP FUNDING OUR KILLERS.

Senate Democrats: HOLD THE LINE! #ICEoffOurStreets

Many people are asking "why don't other politicians do this" and the answer is BECAUSE they don't want you to understand this shit and they want you to just trust they know what they're doing when they're secretly fuck you over. Look at the funding bill!

They murdered a VA nurse.

The kidnappings of Black, Latine, Indigenous, and Asian US citizens are not an accident. They are the leading edge of a wide-scale ethnic cleansing campaign with centuries-old roots that is intentionally targeting not just non-citizens but all people of color.

All. People. Of. Color.

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or luke@aftermath.site, thank you!

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever.

If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

We could have paid teachers at any time.

We could have simply offered a dignified wage to do any of the work we need done at any time.

San Fransisco could be clean right now.

It was always a matter of political will.

LA COUNTY TO ICE: NOT HERE 📢

The county Board of Supervisors unanimously told their lawyers to draft an ordinance creating ICE-free zones.

Translation: Bars ICE from using county-owned property as staging areas, holding spaces, or processing sites.

Immigration Agents Terrified by ICE Backlash Leaked documents show Border Patrol needs volunteers for Minneapolis surge

Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on:

Text from a friend of mine: “[Other friend] was walking her dogs a block from her house in Silverlake and ice rolled up and took two gardeners They are going up in the hills and nabbing people. Warn your neighbors!”

“Two unmarked cars and another car with a fake business logo on it. She screamed shame on you and one of the masked demons said, ‘thank you’”

LOS ANGELES: ICE is prowling Silverlake & the hills

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

These are the people they are sending into our neighborhoods. Keep that in mind when they mention an "accidental" shooting.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.

“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”

“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

*sigh* Man...

This thread is keeping track of misinformation circulating about the US' attack on Venezuela. A must read!

First real breaking news I saw on Bluesky first. Reuters has it 20 minutes later www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Even tho I scaled back on being on social media I'm still here. Like a gargoyle, I'll be lurking. I'll post updates and random posts. I'm still available through discord for my gamer friends so you can poke me there

Another silly highlight: A bunch of musical artists I like dropped new albums this year. I put then in a playlist titled "Good year for music Collette". It had the subtitle of terrible year for everything else and I think it somehow jinxed it (in a good way)

I'm doing mostly TTRPG and board game work now. It's been a big goal of mine to actually get moving on some of my own games. Now that I have a stableish income I can actually do that

I'm still available for freelance work of course but now I don't have to stress about finding work!

2025 was a year. I have scaled back social media cause it costs so much brain power for me but I wanted to share some highlights.

⭐ Mental health is much better for many reasons!

⭐ I got engaged?!

⭐ I've been getting consistent (and v cool) freelance work AND a job in games!

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance

Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn

Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

I am disappointed but unsurprised. My school has been making a huge focus on AAA game development and since the “trend” is using gen ai they’ll have a class on it I guess?

And I doubt it’s non generative otherwise it would be in the computer side of the program

Sometimes I wish I just taken the money L and went to NYU instead LOL

Specifically for games 🙃
