Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Mamdani is 100% right here, despite some people reading into this things that are not said here. Antisemitism is a scourge upon the world. Doesn't need any qualification or quantification or caveats or what-abouts. Any antisemitism is too much antisemitism.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Hope is such a strange watch because for almost two hours, it’s one of my favorite movies of the year. It then ends with five of the most baffling moments at the cinema in 2026. Like the last moment swerve in 28 Years Later, but radically stupid with lots of sci-fi proper nouns.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, rejects DOJ's request to immediately implement BOP's policy on medical care for trans prisoners that would seek to end such care. Wilkins (Obama) & Garcia (Biden) are in the majority; Walker (Trump) dissents. The anti-trans policy will remain blocked for now.
BEFORE: Wilkins, Walker, and Garcia, Circuit Judges
ORDER
Upon consideration of the motion for stay pending appeal filed in No. 26-5236, the opposition thereto, and the reply; and the letter filed September 3, 2026, which the court construes as a motion to stay the district court's August 26, 2026, order on appeal in No. 26-5310; it is
ORDERED that the motion for stay in No. 26-5236 be dismissed as moot. It is FURTHER ORDERED that the motion for stay in No. 26-5310 be denied.
Appellants have not satisfied the stringent requirements for a stay pending appeal. See Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 434 (2009); D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 33 (2026).
Appellants have not shown a strong likelihood of success on the question of whether Program Statement 5260.01 is arbitrary and capricious because the Bureau of
*Circuit Judge Walker would grant the motion to stay in No. 26-5310 for the reasons in the attached dissenting statement.Prisons (BOP) did not adequately consider its own experience providing gender-affirming care under its prior policy. See Int'l Dark-Sky Ass'n, Inc. v. FCC, 106 F.4th 1206, 1213 (D.C. Cir. 2024) ("An action is arbitrary and capricious when the agency relies on inappropriate factors, fails to consider important aspects of the problem, or ignores relevant evidence."); Butte Cnty., Cal. v. Hogen, 613 F.3d 190, 194 (D.C. Cir.
2010) (explaining that "an agency's refusal to consider evidence bearing on the issue before it constitutes arbitrary agency action"). For example, BOP makes claims about the security impact of providing gender-affirming care without addressing whether such issues have occurred.
Moreover, appellants have not made a strong showing that the district court's order violates the PLRA or improperly grants class-wide relief. Additionally, appellants' argument that the district court's order is overbroad to the extent it affects the Program Statement's provisions regarding surgical procedures is likely forfeited because it was not raised first in the district court. See Gov't of Manitoba v. Bernhardt, 923 F.30 1/3, 179 (D.C. Cir. 2019) ("Absent exceptional circumstances, a party forfeits an argument by failing to press it in district court.").
Because appellants have not made a strong showing that they are likely to succeed on the merits, it is not necessary to address whether they have established irreparable harm or whether the remaining factors favor a stay.
The Clerk is directed to enter a briefing schedule.

"Enjoy the camps" is a succinct summation of the current moment trans people find ourselves in. People who insist they're allies also loudly proclaim they won't lift a finger to help us, will say nothing when we're attacked and even tacitly agree with the attacks, and still claim moral superiority.

Have some BIG NEWS, and it really is wild that today is also the anniversary of the Fanbyte Apocalypse. But my time at Game Developer is done, and hence, my time as a full-time game journalist has come to an end. 20 years in a career sure is something. www.tumblr.com/danielling/8...
After 20+ years of writing professionally about games, including time at Polygon and Idle Thumbs, launching Waypoint, serving as editor in chief of Fanbyte and finally as EIC at Game Developer, my time is done. I'm officially out at Game Developer. Given the state of game journalism, this obviously means leaving the profession, at least as a full-timer.

I'm out, with respect to my colleagues, and a lot of love for the site as it was. We've published work that I'm extremely proud of, particularly our reporting on labor and on how workers are finding things in a miserable, gutting moment in the game industry. I'm proud of the dev-authored features we had for so many years, the resources and knowledge and bits and pieces of know-how that I still use, to this day, in my own game design courses.

What's next? Well, I'm not leaving games. I'll always be making and teaching and writing about games, it just can't be my full time gig anymore. I've actually been doing narrative design on a game since 2022, with a team I really believe in, and I can't wait until I can show that off properly. I am also OPEN TO WORK. Anything involving writing or editing words, editing video, teaching (I've been teaching college since 2009), and hey, I'm an EMT and got my phlebotomy cert a couple years back. I'm versatile!For full-time employment, I am eventually going to try my hand at medicine. I've served as an EMT here in NYC since 2016, and I've been taking science courses post-bac since January 2025, usually 2 or more at once concurrently with... the full time job, my part time adjunct job, and volunteering on said ambulance. Exhaustion set in years ago, lol, so I've settled into something beyond that at this point. I feel like I've been climbing a mountain, and trying to make many things work at once. I had a pretty good rhythm going, truth be told, despite all the burnout. I'm proud of myself for that. 

I'd really like to be a physician assistant one day, or potentially a nurse practitioner. It's a very, very long and hard road to either of those paths, but I'm going to make my way as best as I can. 

How do I feel? Again, devastated was years ago. We're pretty far past that at this point. What's happened to journalism in America is... a topic for a very depressing, very well-researched book. I hope someone writes that one day. What happened to game journalism... well, it's more of a niche, but I can say only that reporting honestly on layoff after layoff and corporate malfeasance writ large and executives gambling the whole industry down the drain was tough, but somebody had to do it. 

But it's not something one can do without editorial independence.

It's dramatic, but I'm going to mourn this career. Twenty years of my life, at 42, is just about half of my days alive. I put a lot, and I do mean *a lot* of myself into this. I tried at all times to lead with empathy and care for the human beings around me and to be as honest and frankly honorable as possible in my work. I really, really tried to live my values in my work in this career, and the only way I can keep that reputation is the path ahead of me.So there it is. Expect to see me making games, making art, teaching game design, writing about games from time to time @VeeGeeBees. Expect to hear more about my adventures as an EMT, and hopefully, soon as a PA student, and eventually, as an advanced practitioner. I've kept telling myself, in the darkest and worst days of the last few years, that I'll fly again, somehow. It'll just look very different.

To sign off, and pull an old favorite out of my pocket: be good, and be good at it.

Wanting other studios to fail as a game dev or aspiring game dev is the most loser shit on the planet dawg. I don’t think you understand the fact that you should cheer successes and learn from losses. We all want games to be good and if people fuck up we just go “ok don’t do that”
