🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

Americans are so easily hoodwinked by the sanctity of law and authority. In fact, the pattern of life has become standardized, routinized, and mechanized like canned food and Sunday sermons. Even songs are turned out like buttons or automobile tires—all cast from the same mold. -Emma Goldman, 1934

Just watched Walker (1987). Might be the perfect 4th of July movie, especially in the year 2025. Fantastic sendup of one of the US's greatest assholes, a Blazing Saddles for the 80s. Every frame is a middle finger to Ronald Reagan. As relevant today as it was 40 years ago.

It's hard to find mentors. I crashed out of my gamedev efforts because it was hard to find anyone teaching anything other than business/marketing/getting a "real" game dev job. For actual game development, the gulf of info between "student's first project" and "full indie release" is immense

Also I understand the impulse to applaud someone for making an ally statement even if it's half-assed and late, but also if you gladly reward people for doing the bare minimum they will only ever do the bare minimum, or less, because that's all they need to do to buy your support.

CGL's parent company Topps/Fanatics is selling Pride themed merch right now, has been since the 1st. Whatever led to CGL not doing Pride, kicking out a moderator who protested, then putting this out two weeks late is coming from inside the house. I think we have a right to be wary about that.
