If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at sheryl@weikallaw.com if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

What a shitty thing to say. The absolute disrespect to the source material. I can't imagine anyone with this mindset doing an adaption justice.
Yup. First two episodes: “WTF?! I have SO MANY questions!” By episode four: “Ahh, right. Loving this now.” 😎
What's a good alternative that doesn't force-feed you this shit? www.theregister.com/2025/09/05/g...
Reading the EAA meeting transcripts, still pretty stunned at a colleague quoting Goebbels. Amongst many other things. Good times in archaeology
Transphobia is a unique sort of bigotry that just absolutely cooks the online brain. Holding it nearly always results in an inability to ever admit you’re wrong about anything and exponentially increases the likelihood of believing in a cascade of ever dumber conspiracies and fascist ideology
The Reform party conference has been told that Covid vaccines are the probable cause of cancer for the King and the Princess of Wales The party chose to platform Dr Aseem Malhotra, a prominent ally of RFK Jr in their dangerous maverick campaigns against vaccines www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

“Lucky”? That's quackers!
Great accessibility-focused interview. All remake/remaster developers: you need to read this. Two of your key goals are 1. Attracting a wider audience and 2. Making another sale to OG players, who are now older with different capabilities. To have success at either, you must consider accessibility.
Known in our house as a ‘Tommy Cooper injury’: “It hurts when I do that.” (wiggles thumb) “Well, don’t do that.” 😋
This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg "Click to view full size")

Sorry, could you repeat that into my copy of the DMCA?
You’ll be..... (sunglasses)... the font of all knowledge. 😎
Just a reminder: the BMI is bullshit so the "obesity epidemic" rhetoric is largely a marketing strategy from Big Diet. The BMI was designed for 1. populations, not individuals 2. based on an adult, 6ft, male. Measuring kids & women's bodies by that metric, who need different amounts of fat? No.

Can I just say.... This shit messed me up SO BAD, YALL!! In college I honestly thought 1 person was responsible for all these "solo dev" games and I thought I had to learn all those skills myself if I wanted to compete. I'm so glad we're pushing back on this narrative, finally!

I recommend #Rosewater by @grundislav.games, #OldSkies by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social, and #Expelled! by @inkle.co. 👍 All different to each other, but all top of their class. (Expelled! especially 😉)
“Umbrella wankers!” 🤪
10 ICE goons just went inside the facility and so many had their masks all the way up to their eyes. Cowards, all of them.
CHICAGO!!! We’re out protesting at the Broadview Detention Center (1930 Beach St) where ICE is detaining and deporting our neighbors. We’ve scared them off once today. Come by and help us do it again.
This one?
My Steam Wishlist is longer than my (very long) owned games list too. 😋🥺

Oh no...
“Well, there’s your problem! Too much CAT5 cable.”
I am heartbroken to find out another indie game called 'Pink Noise' is stealing from me. I was scrolling Reddit when much to my surprise I saw MY OWN marketing work being used by another studio without permission. I never posted this anywhere, they cropped it directly off my ads to use on theirs.
Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.
CASTING CALL: We are looking for a German Accent Voice Actor who speaks English. DM Our Account! We will review ALL auditions submitted! Looking forward to working with you! #voiceacting #videogames #castingcall
It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

Absolutely awesome way to get your game out on all platforms
Any industry professional mutuals out here willing to share their wisdom about pursuing pixel art professionally? What to focus on when building a portfolio etc. I'd really appreciate the advice. DMs are open too ✌️
I went more old-school when I received your book five months back. Photos and written words. :D bsky.app/profile/crai...
I have 2 things to say to the response to this. 1. If you enjoyed the joke, I <3 you. 2. If you used it as a teachable moment for our craft, I salute you. 3. If you took it as a genuine statement in need of critique... Ah, oops, off by one...
Attached with Blu-Tack or double-sided tape?
Just started episode 1 and am getting Planes, Trains & Automobiles vibes. 😁 #TheTrip
Found the first and second (Italy?) series on BBC iPlayer, so will start there. ☺️👍
I could watch Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in The Trip till I pass out. Freshly dropping on the BBC iplayer, A Cock and Bull Story is a loose but highly watchable adaptation of Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy that nails the essence of an almost unreadable book 4/5 film-authority.com/2025/09/03/a...
The film of The Trip or the series?

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
I've just resigned from the EAA. Sad to leave an organisation I have been part of for decades, but collaboration with genocide is unthinkable. #stopthegenocide #stopapartheid @archagainstaparth.bsky.social
Old Skies is an adventure game in which you can die! But never fear, time travel will give you another shot (pardon the pun). I had a hoot recording all the snarky responses to getting killed in ever-grislier ways- things got a little dark! #OldSkies #OldSkiesSpoilers
This guy--THIS guy--threatened to screenshot his comment in my video's comment section. Don't worry, man, I gotchu, fam. Just to show everybody the kind of dudes I get flack from. If Nazi motherfuckers are the ones that hate me, then fucking good.

Hah! Yeah, he’s probably trying to deflect the flags and roundabouts news. 😋
Can’t find any other mention of it on news sites. It's not just him trying to stay relevant again? 🤔
My US mate once glugged neat Ribena because Americans *do not* know what squash is.

Another day another Google Play requirement to deal with #gamedev
After Expelled came out we looked around for our next project, considering mechanical successors to Highland, 80 Days, Heaven’s Vault… … and settled on a design that looked “simple”, has a completely new-to-us-anyway loop and narrative architecture. It wasn’t simple :(

@safety.bsky.app The list was literally created to help those who don't wanna deal with Vic Mignogna stans, who've actively organized harassment campaigns, doxing, & supporting a serial sexual harasser Vic Mignogna block them en masse. Please reconsider hiding it.
Poorer pupils in England ‘bounced out of some subjects’ by costs, Families can't afford ingredients for food/nutrition subjects, instrument lessons for music, fieldwork trips, foreign visits in languages, home technology. Lives unfulfilled by inequitable distribution of income and wealth.
Red paint splashed on a couple of warplanes by people wanting to end racist killings? Terrorism. Red paint used to daub far right insignia on public property in hundreds of locations across England by people who want to do racist killings? Legitimate concerns that must be listened to.
Is this a joke @safety.bsky.app ? Are you staffed by Vic Stans or are you fine with kowtowing to a harassment campaign?
Labour going hard right to try and beat Reform is half the story. The other half is that Labour is under the control of right-wingers with right-wing politics who want Labour to be *the* centre-right party and believe they can achieve this because they’re the smartest guys in the room.
Again - the reason that the Good Friday Agreement locks in the ECHR is that the UK had repeatedly been held accountable by the European Court of Human Rights for human rights breaches during the Troubles - while national courts had failed to do so, even upholding miscarriages of justice

This is a very niche request but do any of my Souls people have a good image of the firekeeper (at Firelink) from Dark Souls 1? Or the Emerald Herald from Dark Souls 2? It's for tattoo reasons 🥹
FFS! Let's not allow this shit to ever exist!! It's public space, not for private ownership for your fucking car!!
In my old highways job we found that about 50% of those who paid for a vehicle crossing (dropped kerbs) treated it as an extension of their private driveway, putting rocks/metal posts/planters each side, etc.
This is a tweet by Cait Mercer. Cait is a racist and a liar. Cait's husband Patrick is an anti-Semite who lost his job as a Tory MP because he was caught taking bribes. Cait and her husband are utter scum. Don't be like Cait and Patrick.
US Labor History folks - am I right in thinking that the Taft-Harley Act is the reason managers can't join unions and that rule was implemented as a way to more easily union bust?
I'm thinking of decorating some local roundabouts.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"
Wondering if #SwordOfTheSea by @giantsquidstudios.com is the new #Crysis? 😉 Judging by some comments on the Steam discussion boards, lots of people who thought they had a decent gaming PC have had issues running SotS. 😋 Here’s my latest screenshots, each with hundreds of fish swimming about. 😎
Bought #SwordOfTheSea for playing on my beast of a gaming PC. 😎 Looked at installing it on my @steamdeck.com and chuckled at the text telling me not to even bother trying. 😁 @giantsquidstudios.com @steamdeckhq.com
The Freddy Mercury hoovering display team were also a particular highlight...
Carnival last night here... 100th anniversary so very many in town waking to an even worse hangover than usual. Usual madness dialled up to 11 - it was excellent - was dancing in the square to an excellent live funk and soul band until midnight.
To add onto Camron's points, Tangia also uses stolen voices for it GenAI text to speech.

Just saw a short of a streamer just talking about a single game they will not be playing. ...why would you spend your time making a video about a game you WON'T be playing? Just so you can spend time trashing something you're clearly not interested in? What an absolute waste of time.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's a rad fanmade beta tool that converts your images of battle maps for tabletop roleplaying, scales them to the proper size, then exports them to a PDF for printing and assembly on the tabletop. LITERAL game changer. www.beta.arkanatools.com/papermap/
And if I'm allowed a moments earnestness; it was heartbreaking to see the huge hatemob convince so many players the game was not worth a fair chance, long before release. The game is definitely not perfect, but if your main contention is that Kay is not conventionally attractive enough... Lol, ok.
Star Wars Outlaws released a year ago today. The most challenging, rewarding, engaging and exhilarating project of my career. Getting to live and shape in the world of Star Wars on a daily basis was just a dream come true. I couldn't be prouder, and I could not have poured myself more into it.
