Whelp sadly today was my last day at Netflix Games. Our studio Night School has been shut down and is ceasing operation. Myself, I’m seeking a new role and would love to discuss any opportunities or projects out there anyone thinks I’d be a good fit for. Let’s connect!

I’ve been so overjoyed that I haven’t had the time to post or really process all the love and positivity around our Early Access release. Couldn’t be more proud of our team, and excited to continue building what comes next. Thank you all for the support that has led to this moment! 🫶

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Weapon data structures now being passed to the appearance manager and applying limb art. Still so much to do. Probably next is weapon destruction and cosmetic damage art. (The limbs have less HP than default, so it's registering the equipping as causing a flinch anim.) #CherubDev #UE5 #MechaBunny

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: “3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

Not hurting society, hurting their upper society of tech freaks who are heavily invested in this and don't care if the planet runs out of water because their money can buy the very last drops. Don't care if we die because they want us to be. Don't care because they believe in the singularity.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.
