It’s fun to imagine how much better Bluesky would be if the devs leaned into the type of crowd they amassed and hired them to make the site easily outcompete everything else instead of injecting themselves with Flavor-Aid (I’m not leaving anytime soon, just a thought)

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Reading the comments I feel is very revealing of how many leftists deep down do believe in punitive justice. We ask for apologies we would never accept, and accountability we don't believe is possible. There's this belief in acts that are so unredeemable that they permanently stain the soul.

i know you’re having a lot of fun being snarky about this, as has been made evident by your conduct in this whole interaction, but i am asking for a source for a serious claim you made and i feel like the least you can do is provide it. can’t find anywhere online that says he raped a sleeping person

yup. some people love to use SA as a means of virtue signaling. i think i’d find it more compelling if it seemed like they cared at all for what the victim wants, which is obviously painfully ironic given the initial crime.

she reported it a decade ago to the university and they took appallingly little action, but since then there’s been no public statement from her. this information went public now only because the online far right went digging and found something they knew would upset people

and put the victim into public view against her wishes? because let’s be real, the internet would — probably has — hunted her down and made her identity public

i don’t think there’s a way to be upfront about this sort of thing without completely invading the privacy of the victim. i much prefer this over someone making a spectacle because he feels like that’s what the internet wants from him, regardless of the feelings of the victim

the internet is huuuuuuuuge and nearly everyone in western modern life has a presence on it, vast majority of people i talk to don’t know who geller is so i think if someone wanted to avoid his content it would be remarkably easy. instagram used to recommend me my assaulter so i just blocked him

the victim said she didn’t want it to be public. was he meant to make a statement against her wishes, inevitably leading people to sleuth out who she was and harass her? that feels like the worse option here.

alex @twilightparasite.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
so what was he meant to do? announce it? have people inevitably go searching for the victim, ruin her life? idk, man, i’ve been assaulted and if he came out and declared it it would make my life so much worse

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

they say networking is good for games industry jobs but then most conversations i have with people working in the industry inevitably turn to how everyone is getting laid off. and they obviously know im also looking for a job, so we just kind of look at each other like this

in “mac and dennis break up” there’s a scene where mac confronts dennis about his being gone without saying anything, and the blocking is excellent. he just keeps scooting closer while dennis keeps moving away. it’s so beautifully done
