This went a little different than his nightly interviews with Sean Hannity.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

Tonight we have #UnrealNYC in partnership with Manhattan Neighborhood Network. Big thanks to Marcela Bragagnolo for organizing and hope to see you there. There will be lab computers to play with, talks to see, demos to enjoy, and food/drink ! Event link: luma.com/nzulvcue
Republicans just approved a budget blueprint that does far more than fund the war with Iran. Buried inside the $95 billion package is $10 billion to implement new nationwide voting restrictions demanded by Trump.
I wrote a thing about Unreal Fest. Sorry you have to go to LinkedIn to read it: www.linkedin.com/pulse/unreal...
Unreal Fest 2026: One Week Later
Unreal Fest in Chicago was one week ago. It was my 7th Unreal Fest, and while all previous ones have left me feeling pumped about the future and eager to spread the gospel of Unreal Engine… I’m still ...

what if someone opened their eyes but instead of eyes it was just two more faces?
all good vibes at Unreal Chicago chapter meetup last night
Would be darkly hilarious if this kills Perforce, who is a huge sponsor with a giant booth here at Unreal Fest. lore.org
Wow, Epic says early access to UE6 is targeting end of 2027 but they aren’t planning any new UE5 releases after 5.8 (shipping today). That would mean no new release for at least 18 months, whereas historically we’ve gotten a new release about once every 6 months. Are you surprised ?
Part of the @agilelens.bsky.social crew arriving in Chicago ! Going to check out a Second City show tonight, take some meetings around the city Monday and Tuesday, then Tuesday evening kicks off #UnrealFest. Let us know if you’re in town!
I call it UnRealityKit. It's a UE5 + RealityKit bridge for Apple Vision Pro. All those things you can't do in Unreal Engine for AVP due to Metal: eye tracking, standard gesture controls, room lighting & reflections, volumes, fully utilizing the M2/M5 chip... all possible now.
Honored to be speaking on a panel with @ibrews.bsky.social & @jason.themetamovie.com about the magic of live performance in VR, tomorrow (Friday, 6/12). If you are interested in learning about the evolution of theatre, follow this link: www.raindanceimmersive.com#/raindance-i...

goodbye @recroom.com !! you brought my kids and I a lot of joy over the years. we spent the weekend revisiting our favorite maps, quests, and of course lots of paintball. we also revisited an old map we built together when my kids were 4 and 6 and it was all wonderfully ridiculous:
I made a thing with Claude to straighten out messy Unreal Engine Blueprints with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+L. Let me know if it works for you! #uetips
I'll do some proper posts on these tomorrow, but I've been using @godotengine.org for one week and already have two projects I'm excited to share with the public. 1) Sample Vision Pro physics sandbox with hand meshes, gesture detection, spatial sound, and more. 2) MetaHuman to Godot
My friend lost her SNAP and now her family usually struggles the last week or two of each month, more than before. Her and her dad are legitimately disabled. If I believed in God and Hell, hell would simply not be enough to urge repentance with these people. May they suffer psychological torture.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoBrooke Rollins: "As we've moved about 4 million off SNAP, we don't have the exact data of how much of that is fraud, how much of that is people moving into the American dream and off of welfare."
This week I dove into building with Godot and it's been wonderfully satisfying. I'll give a full update with my progress related to character animation, VR, Vision Pro, raytracing, physics tests, adding new features, and more, but for the moment, seeing a little message like this just made my day !
Farewell to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ! Flashback to 2015 where I gave a talk at NYVR about theatre sightlines with Fisher Dachs Associates that was seen by cool folks at Bravo Media who then asked me if I could build an app in a few days (cont.)

That there’s a market an amazing linear narrative games that take under 15 hours to beat. Speaking as a parent and generally busy person who is lucky to finish 1-2 games per year.
Nick@nicktyde.bsky.social · 3mo agoWhat’s your gaming hot take? I’ll go first: I think Bethesda hasn’t been good for the gaming industry because they’ve led to this push towards open world non linear experiences as well as normalizing shipping out games that are full of bugs. Not everything needs to be open world!
