For his ridiculous suggestion that laid-off gamedevs turn to ChatGPT for emotional support!

Congratulations on our first double-award of the night! You are a true enigma to us all!

People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention.

They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families.

They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states.

They’re committing crimes against humanity.

Here's my only commentary for a certain awards show:

A game that uses AI deserves no award.

I appreciate your support and feedback so much ^_^

“We were effectively props”: young stars of game development feel let down by the ‘gaming Oscars’ Announced in 2020 by the Game Awards as an inclusive programme for the industry’s next generation, the Future Class initiative has now been discontinued. Inductees describe clashes with organisers and...

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

It is WILD how many folks are taking part in watching/streaming The Game Awards given that it was only like a month ago that folks were on board to boycott for the Future Class.

It would matter less if this pattern was not also pervasive for issues of human rights, health, and basic care.

The Game Awards are losing their luster A lot of flash concealing increasingly shrinking substance.

A lot of people still watching the 4 hour game awards for some reason

Republican-controlled US Congress poised to allow Obamacare health subsidies to expire The Republican-controlled U.S. Congress is poised to allow tax credits to lapse for 24 million Americans, as a December 31 deadline approaches with no sign of a healthcare compromise after the Senate ...

You mean being spinless & collaborating with face-eating leopards gets faces, including yours eaten?!

The level of institutional betrayal & hypernormalization happening in the US is causing not just crisis but death.

There's no therapy for this, only revolution.

Every single production company has decided that from now on, everything should be Space Jam 2.

IP won’t matter anymore when everything is slop. That’s what they don’t understand. Nobody will care when everything is Elsa and Spiderman make a baby.

The seeds of their own destruction.

So, this is more reason to boycott GDC/ Festival of gaming too. It is the same organizer.
Besides, folks should boycott US events the way we boycott Saudi Arabian ones.

I also won't be surprised if The Game Awards had a promo for this tonight.

If we want change we have to resist this crap.

Remember the response to anyone who went to the Riyahd Comedy Festival?

Yeah uh I wouldn't recommend touching this with a 10 foot pole, regardless of what they offer

Shout out also to @hard-drive.net for their show on Friday, especially as they fundraise for a great cause (which TGA has refused to acknowledge for years and you all know how this led to the disbanding of Future Class) bsky.app/profile/hard...

The fact that there are now multiple award shows that play around the Game Awards to call out the issues in the industry that the Game Awards refuses to address really highlights what a farce the Game Awards are

Congratulations on really great work and a new chapter. 🎉

Tourists from 42 countries will have to submit 5 years of social media history to enter U.S. under Trump plan The Trump administration is proposing to ask visitors from countries with visa-free travel to the U.S. to submit five years of their social media history before they can enter.

Listen, nobody should come here. This is disgusting and so so dangerous.
There is no way to invite people here in good faith.

Lawmakers and bible thumpers don't want you to understand the people they're demonizing are doing more good for society than they ever would

I’m sure FIRE will be all over this

OU student says essay grade was a violation of her rights. Read the essay In the essay, she wrote traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes. What do you think? Read the full essay and professor responses here.

Wild all the ways that 2025 has shown what people, especially Black & Indigenous Women, been saying.
White students think they can treat professors, particularly marginalized ones, any which way.

Commodifying education has resulted in a "customer's always right" attitude with students & it's toxic.

WHEN?! Where?

I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.
