It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This press conference reminded me of that episode of the Thick Of It where they had to come up with their speech in the back of the car on the way there.
It was just passive political platitudes plonked together?

Learning that one of the Bluesky developers is a vibe coding weirdo who asks Claude to fix everything for him (rather than another human being) really explains why the subtitle timing here is hilariously broken, despite it being a completely solved problem everywhere else.

Hello, it is time for the Annual Tweet! Are you working on a COOL, NEAT, and perhaps even EXTREMELY WEIRD video game that'll be launching in 2026?
If the answer is YES then let me know in the replies below!
I want to get eyes on some coverage candidates before the year begins to consume us all.

Trying to ease myself back into developing so I've added a new effect to my Launchpad/Godot experiment!
I can set any button to any colour and it'll fade back off again at a customisable speed. Good for like tapping buttons and showing they've been pressed I think?

if i were running a social media tool in the first week of 2026, I probably would not be asking if my audience is excited for AI tools that can generate images. i would probably read at least one news article.

I absolutely loved Trifoil when I played it on Stream last year. Definitely check out the demo if you've not already!
Cannot wait for #screenshotsaturday, a stutter free video showing some new backgrounds for mid game levels. LMK what you think.
Trifoil is an unique line drawing puzzle game with a twist. Check out the demo and wishlist on steam store.steampowered.com/app/3085710/... #puzzlegame #puzzle #trifoil

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

It's wild to see the small minority that are still defending posting on Twitter.
Where is your line? What do they need to do to make it clear they're the bad guys to you?
What am I supposed to think about *you* if you post there apart from that you're an absolute piece of work?

So many designers will do anything aside from learn the *absolute basics* of how our visual system works.
The amount of times I've talked to UI/UX designers and they've never heard of Gestalt Principles, or preattentive features. These are crazy basic concepts that help so much in making things.

It’s 2026, we’re all worried about AI taking over design but check this UX out...
Let me explain:
We stayed over at Blackwood Forest over xmas.
When we arrived, I plugged the car into the electric charging point.
After it was charged I tried to release the charging cable.
