Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.
Fuck cancer.

This always frustrates me when reading a lot of Ebert’s review. It is more about his own perception of the movie advertising than talking about the movie.
The thing that always rubbed me the wrong way about Ebert's dislike of Blue Velvet is he seems to project his own reactions onto Rossellini in a way that takes away her agency. I was uncomfortable with what happens to her in this movie, therefore she must have been as well, despite her reassurances

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent.
Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!
It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.

i don't have any easy answers to this, i just think it's really humiliating how much people who make games have this default expectation that they have to totally subjugate themselves to joe gamer and the whims of the market and act so blessed and grateful to be there the whole time

So saddened by the news that we have lost Alice Wong. It was an honor to know her and learn from her. May the lessons she shared continue to guide us for years to come.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

“You’re not breathing” is a precursor to “Ocean waves,” and they mean the same thing: Fight, but take care of yourself, because the struggle is long, and if you let it destroy you, they win.
PTA shut down production and ballooned the budget on this movie so he could cast Benicio del Toro, and the very first shot of him instantly proves it was worth it

Medicaid-funded services are their lifeline—and make their work possible. But the Trump cuts to the program could change it all.
Meet Audrey and Jeremy, who went viral for talking about how the GOP's Medicaid cuts could devastate their everyday.
