photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Black & white photograph of a 1930's apartment building with the word "Blackburn" on the front." A newspaper clipping from 1936.

One of my favourite buildings in Ottawa. Built in 1936 by Henry Blackburn, who was reportedly obsessed with it and its construction.

"in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

- Is it SINCERE
- is it CATHARTIC
- was it FUN TO MAKE
- is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly"

Babe wake up, Derek Guy noticed Canada.

(The Supreme Court revealed their new, modern robes yesterday.)

Something I didn't mention in my story yesterday: one of the reasons that Team Cherry had such an enjoyable time making Silksong is that it's 2D. Nice and flat. Don't have to worry about 3D art pipelines.

In other words, all video games should be 2D

Much love to @evolvepr.bsky.social @evolvetom.bsky.social & Candace. Everyday these two choose kindness as the first reason for running a company + uplifting dev teams around the 🌎.

They buck trends to see the humanity in their staff; the industry should know there's no better, no kinder team.

It's so hard to say, I almost chose to stay silent, but I'm leaving @evolvepr.bsky.social & #gamedev next week.

I'm going back to 🍁Canadian politics. My ink's not dry yet--I've a few more things to say.

“Farewells can be shattering, but returns are surely worse." I'll be back in games someday!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reached out and for the support.

This has been brutal, so the kind words, and being able to share this frustration - together - has helped.

I look forward to sharing our plans next week, and making VILE: Exhumed available.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Who is the Canadian @dieworkwear.bsky.social?

Derek Guy is one of the only educational + compassionate voices on social media talking about a topic I really care about, but all his brand references are American and currently subject to a 25% retaliatory Tariff.

Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group.

Another day when I've been told I am "brave" for just existing because someone would "unalive themselves" if they had to deal with what I have to deal with.

If you ever have the urge to say this to someone, don't. It's not the compliment you think it is.

Thirty-three days ago, we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Since then, we’ve sold 3.3 million copies.

Seriously. As of today.
We couldn’t make that up.

Another entry on the long list of surreal moments that your support has made real.

Thank you ALL.

“Especially after update 6 and update 7, the number of people telling us that in their opinion the game is ready for 1.0 — that’s skyrocketed,” Amielanczyk said. “But honestly, we are going to take as much time as we need to make the game worthy of that 1.0 label.”
