Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

Here's the key thing: The multi-trillion-dollar AI industry?Their *most advanced platforms* are controlled by a plain text format @daringfireball.bsky.social made up for his blog, and then bounced off of a 17-year-old Aaron Swartz, before sharing it with the world for free. *That* is the internet.

I wanted to just share one story about a kid who spent a lot of time in the neighborhood where Renee Nicole Good died today. Prince got married at Park United Methodist just down the street from 34th & Plymouth; he went to high school at Central High a few blocks in the other direction over on 35th.

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.

Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Nobody ever talks about The Long Kiss Goodnight as a Christmas movie and in my opinion, this is bad and wrong.

The Professor, our foster dog, is up for adoption but has had zero applications. And I get it, people are busy, but he’s wonderful.

Not a sleep in your lap dog but the king of sleep next to you dogs. Just a nice little 4 month old gentleman. With a PhD.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Another wip architectural concept from earlier this year. Each time someone passes in the village, a tomb is built for them and filled with their favourite books. A library that allows others to get to know who they were. Using an open book with layered pages as the motif for the structure

CECOT has a max capacity of 40,000.

There are over 50,000 Black men in solitary confinement in the US today.

Black men are most likely to be falsely arrested and charged while 100% innocent. You can be in jail for over a year before your trial. During that time you can be forced to do slave labor.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.
