For folks engaging with the autism vs Tylenol discussion - please take a step back and consider the assumption that preventing autism is inherently an obvious good.

TBH, it's very hard seeing folks ignoring & skipping past the "You shouldn't exist" eugenics part when defending the science.

F's in the chat.

Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is in The movement is gaining popularity among Democrats, a left-leaning group found.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin.

If folks are lucky, the aliens will get them before ICE does?

😣

Like, holy **** - create conditions so bad folks would rather *die*, and then claim they're a threat to *others*.

FFS that is monstrous.

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

+1 to the "Who the heck thought this was a good idea" crowd

If you're more fearful of your child being autistic than them and their friends dying of a preventable disease, you're telling on yourself.

Those without honor are almost always hypocrites, but do not think that exposing their hypocrisy will thwart them. Double standards are their weapons, wielded gleefully against those who attempt to maintain honor and fair play. Do not abandon your own principles, but know when your enemy has none.

Do people still do job updates like this? Anyway, I’m an Accessibility Development Director for EA now! Fancier title, same person trying to help make gaming software more accessible at EA ♿️✨

Friggin' awesome!

if I were reporting on the current political moment I’d be looking back at women in games’ reporting, analyses & theorising during gamergate and I’d be asking for their insights

Seriously. GG was such an early look at so much of this awful garbage :(

Including some oldies..

Hilda, Virgin River, Nobody Wants This, Community, Firefly, Sense8, Supernatural, She-Ra, Archer, SW: Clone Wars / Rebels, What We Do In The Shadows, Loki, Glee, Orville, Red Dwarf, Alf, Fraggle Rock, Animaniacs, Wonder Years, 3rd Rock FTS, Scrubs, Brooklyn 99, Dirk Gently

Holy ****.

This is one of the most unhinged things I've ever seen spoken aloud.

He's directly excusing anti-immigrant murder, because of the lunatic take of it being "anti-crime", and hey, let's just lump trans folks in as legit targets too. Genuinely monstrous.

It's *very* pretty minesweeper, tbf

100%

I've enjoyed every one of their games, just masterful craftsmanship through and through.

Five Pathfinder 2E sourcebooks are pictured here. In the front, a black and white line drawing cover of the Monster Core book. Tucked behind that book are four others: a full color cover of the Monster Core book, Sky King's Tomb Player's Guide, and two others whose titles are covered by the books in front. In the top left, text reads "Pathfinder Primer Bundle" next to a Paizo logo. In the bottom right, the Humble Bundle logo and text that reads "Book Bundle."

*internet fist-bump* That's a damn good milestone, well done!

Survived several years of that particular bit of awful myself many years ago. 0/10, do not recommend.

(Rephrasing) Kirk was an awful person - a literal fascist - but violence to achieve political ends is blegh. That was his playbook, and shouldn't be anyone else's.

e-6695 (Consumer protection) Keywords Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography E-petition Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario Original language of petition: English Petition details Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content; In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites; As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”; As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to 1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services; 2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and 3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

No game since Pong has been finished, it's just been allowed to escape 😅

No no no, your "Self-Catapult" upgrade is going great!

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:

1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society

2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Do not blindly trust what you read, don’t let yourself get swept away in reactionary posts. That’s for everyone, not just one group. We are at THAT point in history. Be very careful when protecting your humanity. Stand up with clarity.

The Qatar attack is insanity, and now Article 4 over defending Poland. Still no relief for Gaza or Ukraine.

May we all live in much, much less interesting times. Really outright boring times, perhaps - wouldn't that be nice?

YouTube video by Steve Saylor Game-Changer! High Contrast Mode Now in COMPETITIVE FC 26 – Here’s Why It Matters

This was posted a few days ago, but thought it was worth still sharing.

EA FC 26 is going to have HIGH CONTRAST MODE and you can use it in MULTIPLAYER! That's right the first time HCM is being used in a competitive game!!

Clinton is good people, and is an accessibility expert that has shipped games. Whomever gets him will be glad to have done so :)

Unfortunately I've been impacted by this round of Xbox layoffs. I'll miss being part of Team Green, and judging from other folks I'm seeing that also got hit, at least I'm in some fantastic company.

So, looking for my next opportunity - more info: www.linkedin.com/posts/james-...
