There's a persistent argument that GGers "don't care if this shit is in a game if the game is good."

We know this is bullshit because:

1) E-Day is good; they still care
2) They rile people up about women or gay content BEFORE a game even releases, skewing the perception
3) They are bigots

I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)
The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue. Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Double Fine to me seems like one of the last big holdovers of a certain "we're all friends here" twee cliquish indie game culture that sees itself as progressive but is not so much in reality i associate with the 2010's. so the unionization efforts getting torpedoed doesn't really surprise me

This is union-busting. Tim Schafer is a boss and him and his management team did what bosses do.
This included managers. Legally, the only union-related prohibition for managers was that they could not give employees their opinions on unions or encourage them one way or another. But several union supporters said they directly heard managers express concerns that they were no longer allowed to speak to their employees about anything, and a few people told me their own managers or senior members of their teams stopped speaking to them entirely, even about the games they were working on. “They helped enforce this narrative where you couldn’t talk to people when nothing about neutrality required that to happen,” said one union supporter. “Supporters who were confused saw that, and bought into it.” Other union-supportive employees told me they received the cold shoulder from people they didn’t work closely with, but had previously been friendly with. There were accusations of strongly anti-union employees trying to scare off prospective members, sharing hypothetical or even at times outright false information about the impacts a union would have at Double Fine, or making what sources asserted were false accusations about the organizers themselves and their tactics. The spin-off from Microsoft precipitated new fears. Would there be layoffs? Would Double Fine get to keep ownership of its games? Would the studio even have enough runway to survive for long without Microsoft’s backing? The answer to these questions came rather quickly. On July 28, 23 people were laid off from Double Fine amid the split. These layoffs took place after Double Fine’s departure from Xbox, and Schafer was the final deciding voice as to who stayed and who went. Among those 23 were all eight organizing committee members who had signed the letter to the studio announcing the petition withdrawal. The majority of the rest, though not all, had been vocally or, in a few cases, privately supportive of the union, even if they’d been ineligible to join it. In total, the layoffs comprised roughly one-fourth of Double Fine. “Management absolutely mishandled the situation…The manager training was weeks late and landed after the brunt of the drama. The lack of direct communication made an already clique-y culture even worse. And studio leadership overall was not only extremely influenced by their proximity to Tim, but there was a large amount of ignorance towards the role of a union or how they work.” In the weeks and months since the petition withdrawal, those at Double Fine who had openly or even privately supported the union tell me they have laid low, afraid of further retribution or ostracization. “It feels like they want you to leave,” one person said. “And it’s working. I’m looking for other jobs.” Unfortunately, as they and others pointed out to me, the games industry job market is so bad that jobs are in short supply.

President Trump threatens to send 1,000 election monitors to polling places in November. Brennan Center's Sean Morales-Doyle says threats like these are "not about physically or legally interfering in the process, it's about generating fear, worry, concern," so voters don't go to the polls.

WHOA. This is big news.

Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.
A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to return Ahmed Soliman to the United States, five months after he was expelled to Equatorial Guinea, a country where he has no ties, in a decision that could have far-reaching implications for thousands of others subjected to the Trump administration’s third-country removal scheme. Arizona District Court Judge John C. Hinderaker, a Trump appointee, ruled that DHS violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and “must facilitate Plaintiff’s release from custody in Equatorial Guinea and return to the United States and must ensure his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to Equatorial Guinea.”
