Thought I had escaped, but the layoff Balrog pulled me down after all. Fortunately, my work on Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is largely complete. But that means now I’m free to look for new opportunities elsewhere! If you have a narrative/lead/writer open role, DM me & let’s chat!

It’s a sad reality in today’s social media environment that some game studios advise devs not to disclose they’re working on a specific project, or even that they’re working at that studio—all for the devs’ own protection. But that is the state of the world we make games in. 😞

It gets worse. Mike Johnson failed to register as a foreign agent. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a U.S. law that requires individuals or entities acting as agents for foreign principals to disclose their relationship and activities to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Trump: Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. You have got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton… all those people that knew including JP Morgan Chase.. Reporter: If there is nothing incriminating in the files, why not— Trump: QUIET! QUIET!
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.
If you think this is badass, wait until we win. katforillinois.com/legal
When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every powerful person who enabled him. Every name. Every flight log. Every cover up. All of it.
An absolute powerhouse of a @propublica.org team has done what U.S. officials refuse to do: identify the men and women swept up in that midnight raid in Chicago. Life in the building was not perfect, but reporters found little evidence to back up government claims: www.propublica.org/article/chic...
“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime
Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

The layoff epidemic returned to my place of employment today. I was not affected, but quite a few beloved colleagues were. My broken heart is with them. I say again: This industry is not fit for human habitation.
@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social I lean Katie, but I have an urgent question I haven’t seen addressed anywhere. I feel it’s incredibly important that Seattle’s mayor be prepared to stand up to Trump & S.Miller’s attempts to crack down on cities like Seattle. Has Katie addressed this? What’s her stance?
amazing restaurant, then karaoke, more food & drink until 2 AM. It would kill me now, but it was glorious. In Japan Itagaki-san was like a rock star; I asked him once why he did the biker jacket/shades look in public, & he said “Because they expect it of me.” I’m grateful to have known him. RIP.
I just found out that Tobunobu Itagaki has died. I spent six amazing weeks working with him & Team Ninja at Valhalla in Tokyo years ago. At work he was quiet & thoughtful, always in a cardigan & sipping hot tea. At 5 PM the biker jacket & shades came on; every night was dinner at a different +

Good advice here for anyone going to a No Kings Day event: 1) Turn off biometrics on your phone so no one can force their way into it, & 2) Turn on data synching over network so any photos/videos you take will be accessible later if your phone gets taken. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
How to Prepare Phones for No Kings Day Events
These are things I recommend to do to safeguard your phone before you go to a No Kings event this week, or others in the future. TURN OFF BIOMETRICS ON YOUR PHONE: Biometrics is using your face or fin...

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election? Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official. Be warned.
A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

👀👀👀 Well, the plot continues to thicken. Will we ever have a free and fair election again? I just wonder who’s money actually paid for this one. #DarkMoney #Corruption

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA. "We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends." newrepublic.com/post/201625/...
Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It
From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.
