"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.

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.

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
