"My name is Sally Abed. I'm Palestinian, I'm an Israeli citizen, and I am scared and hurting, but also full of hope". Listen to the inspiring words of @sally_abed, a leader of Standing Together, speaking at a rally we organized in Tel-Aviv, outside Netanyahu's Likud Party HQ. 🟣

Fun idea for a zoom game!
DOT DOT DOT - a Zoom party game • everyone changes their screen name to "..." • ask a question like, "What did you eat for breakfast?" • everyone types in their answer • take turns guessing who typed in what

After having their US Visas rejected, these two gamedevs are not able to attend GDC on the scholarships that they won. Instead, they made a game about repairing the broken Visa application process. Maybe it's time for GDC elsewhere than the US.

I'm looking for 1 or 2 more Chicago made games for the yearly industry night cross @IGDAChicago holiday party. Last year this got me one game so I'm tweeting it out again. Let me know if you know anyone who'd be interested.

End of an era. Growing up in the Middle East, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next issue.
I am profoundly sad to hear that after 67 years, MAD Magazine is ceasing publication. I can’t begin to describe the impact it had on me as a young kid – it’s pretty much the reason I turned out weird. Goodbye to one of the all-time greatest American institutions. #ThanksMAD
