"What's a poster you had in your room growing up ?" I had this one. I received it as a member of the "Master of the universe Club", which was basically about receiving physical mail once a month. (Cool stuff for a kid to receive a regular letter at the time).

Crazy proposal for real journalists: Stop relaying "Politician or CEO said this" (because we really don't care, it's all lies), and start doing more "Politician or CEO actually did that". Because actions don't lie.

US friends, you may have missed it: OSCE observers are not invited to monitor US midterms, for the first time since 2002. No direct impact on your elections, but a clear hint of what's coming.

European security body OSCE said Wednesday its monitors have not been invited to the U.S. midterm elections in November and called the unprecedented decision “regrettable”.

Reposting this for no particular reason. The People has to hold elected officials accountable, because they work for us. Don't support them unconditionally. That's how you get incompetent losers in charge.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

It is funny (no it's not) that the safest advice you can currently give to gamedevs working for big publishers seems to be: DON'T FINISH THE DAMN GAME! Because there's a high chance they'll be laid off right after the release.😢

A few months ago, I had a couple interviews with EA. Each time, as I personally experienced two layoffs, I asked bluntly the same question (below) And each time, they answered they had no idea what's going to happen, and tried to convince me as much as themselves that everything was fine.😔
Following the recent acquisition, I understand that the company will now have a debt of $20B. So I feel that there is a high probability of mass layoff in the coming months. Is there any information you can share to reassure me regarding this possibility?

He's absolutely right. The Switch is a good example of that, as is Roblox. Kids and teenagers don't find photorealistic graphics beautiful. What interests them most is the gameplay and playing with their friends.
