The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

Prom is judging ou for not giving her belly-rubs

Chihuahua named Prom lying on her back with her front paws retracted and a very judgemental look. She does this when she wants bellyrubs.

It's pretty wild that Ben Starr is in two GoTY candidates this year.

The last time I was at a studio with a layoff, a meeting was derailed because the director asked, with increasing irritation, which engineer was supposed to design a feature that underpinned the whole game. That engineer had been laid off 2 days prior, and no one else knew how to do it.

Layoffs wreck studios. Institutional knowledge is SO valuable in the games industry. When you eventually replace that laid off employee, I don’t care if they’ve got 30 years of experience and dozens of games under their belt. They still have to learn the pipeline, the software, the systems.

It's a sign of the times that a writer/narrative designer as talented as Emma is looking for work, but it also means your team has an excellent opportunity to scoop her up. Deadpool was one of the best parts of Midnight Suns & Hindsight is a moving exploration of memory & grief. Seriously, hire her.

NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.

Judge: Tear down Alligator Alcatraz within 60 days

"This decision sends a clear message that environmental laws must be respected by leaders at the highest levels of our government."

What we actually need is a full-throated defense of cities—and that means a full-throated defense of a pluralistic society.

Because you will never get those specific voters on board as long as they believe lies simply because the people they’re telling them about have darker skin

Thanks! I think the biggest lore connection in FFXIV is that they're called 'Ronso' in some places outside of Eorzea
