I'm proud of my spouse every day, but proud today to hear it join the chorus of developers sharing their stories and showing whose labor we lost in the Microsoft layoffs.

I will find myself in San Francisco soon for a brief visit. The only other time I was there was for GDC and I did nothing else. Any recommendations for things to see/do, and food to eat? I WILL be getting West Coast Japanese food somewhere because I think about it all the time.

It's weirdly comforting to know that I can still fall down a video game hole for several days-- all it takes is not having the worst work-life balance I can achieve.

I have been in games for 20yrs+. I have NEVER seen it this bad, for this long, and with such a blatant lack of consideration for the people impacted.

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.

I age. Watched Wake Up Dead Man and drank some nice whiskey for birthday reasons and also just because.

Tomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why

@warren.senate.gov This is incredibly irresponsible of you to sponsor KOSA. It is blatantly an effort to categorize LGBTQ+ people themselves as inappropriate content. You're burning our right to exist.

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can lose their job. Anyone can become homeless. Anyone can go hungry. These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant. Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize. We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

As ever... the vast, vast majority of people don't want the hellscape the right is forcing on us. they really are the minority viewpoint. vocal? yes. powerful? unfortunately, yes. But there are so many more people who don't want to live in the world they're trying to make.

My fear has always been that I survive COVID. Dying, I don't care, I'm dead. If I survive but lose my ability to do my job--the things that bring me joy, and make money, and support other people than myself.... Taking that risk more than I absolutely have to isn't worth it.

And if you create or engage with LGBTQ+, anti-fascist, anti-genocide, pro-choice, pro-bodily autonomy, etc. content, or whatever else they deem morally objectionable, I wonder what they want to happen to you. I wonder all the angles from which they'll try to prevent that content from existing.

I was at pretty location watching some awesome people get married, and got to wear a suit about it.

I have a useless talent for being able to identify, by a single frame, any episode of Stranger Things Season 1, and can do the same for most of Star Trek Enterprise. Wish I could remember which day of the week it is, but this is fine too, I guess.

screenshot from article. text reads: "When the marketing maestro got down to business, she realized it was going to require a complete overhaul. Ultimately, she spent 20 hours redoing the copy from scratch - and with her $100-per-hour rate, that meant her client was shelling out $2,000 for copy that likely would have ended up being far cheaper had a human just written it in the first place."

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.

Tristan Kern de Gonzales
