Hi, my name is Ada - I’ve worked in games for over 20 years.

As well as my career work on games such as CRUSH, Fruit Ninja and Phantom Abyss, I have a slow burn Indie project: Lifeboat Earth - a simulation game about trying to balance the needs of civilisation and the sustainability of the planet.

A middle finger to erasure.

More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!
I’m not getting drawn back into this nonsense.

Maybe put your phone down and live a little πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
Bored assholes with keyboards have nothing but points.

Doesn’t make them right.
I don’t think there’s much point.

My opinions on polyamory haven’t changed, though they sadly outlived the throuple.

But Bree seems like the kind of opinionated internet brawler who just isn’t worth arguing with - a fact that will likely outlive the heat death of the universe.

Not as small as I thought though - it turns out they only give you about a tenth of the ashes from a cremation, I guess because nobody wants to haul a garbage bag full of ash home with them.
The one we buried at school for the Bicentennial was only about the size of a lunchbox, but I guess that could be a mausoleum for something small enough, like a mouse.
Every grave is a time capsule if you’re curious enough.

If you ever end up recording a final message, ensure you dedicate a good chunk of it to roasting your nemeses, like Jane Goodall did

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.
Here’s video of the incident

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

"Surely the President that refused to give up power in 2020, turbocharged ICE with sacks of cash, and recently conducted an Air Assault operation on a Chicago apartment complex will allow Dems to take control of Congress come January"

Hi Aaron, a thread.
The bot was not a harassment bot. You were ignoring a community that was rightfully upset and trying to get information about the job you are doing.
I used the protocol and the platform to build a bot that simply showed what you were doing on the network. yes, if you posted...
1) This was a spam network shared internally at Bluesky for investigation on spam likes. 2) I misclicked/unclicked, but a harassment bot picked it up 3) I continue to be harassed about it a year later

I'm offering a genuine response that I don't see the need for this continually to be raised.
BREAKING: Antihistamines now declared a terrorist organisation.
So I guess politically correct means not dropping nukes now? 😬
Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
