NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

I am not feeling good.

My face got stuck like this after reading Trump’s birthday letter to Epstein so I took a picture.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

wait yeah

We at United Videogame Workers-CWA condemn the studio closure of Cliffhanger Games by Electronic Arts. In an industry that generated over $450 billion and padded EA CEO Andrew Wilson's pockets to the tune of $25.6 million in total compensation in the year 2024, workers should not have to be subjected to this dehumanizing treatment. These hardworking families and industry veterans must now scramble to find new work during a time of increasing economic volatility, while the game that they worked hard on will never see the light of day. And for what purpose? For EA to be able to write off the cost of the studio and game production as a "business loss" on their taxes and make their stock prices go up. Making this disastrous decision following EA's previously announced RTO policies and commitment to DEI is an insult to injury to those already trying to stay afloat in the industry, particularly to the disabled, those with families, and Black and brown game workers. We as workers and the players who stand with us in solidarity deserve better and demand better.

If there were no NDAs all around I could tell you about twenty projects in the last five years alone that followed these exact steps except for "and it all came together beautifully". If anything can be learned here, it's not that they found a writer on a writing site and a musician on a music site.

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

This makes me so angry - because this translates to "I too would like to make a lot of money"

But let's be real. You would not have published Balatro.

You want a lightning strike- fund 20 games. Fund 30 games. Fund so many damn games that maybe you find the right field to be struck by lightning.

just wanna remind people that the person who snitched on luigi got none of the promised reward because of random technicalities. you have nothing to gain by being a rat.

A movie made in Blender just won an Oscar!!!!!

On the flipside, hey, we launched a game today! 🚀

Insomniac's content team was loaded with new trailers and screenshots well in advance, so we were especially eager to unload all that during the last 24 hours.

As always, #BeGreaterTogether and enjoy Marvel's #SpiderMan2PC! 🕸️🕷️

Wild news. Wonder how he'll handle League of Legends

Best studio head I've ever worked under. Genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his employees, is incredibly honest, open to changing his mind on things, and admits when mistakes were made. No studio's perfect, but a lot of the things I love about Insom are b/c of the values Ted instilled into it
