Saber Interactive's work on Darktide needs more praise.

@AlexWex @_julesmontoya Congrats papa wex <3

So we did a thing this weekend…💍 @_julesmontoya (Pro photos coming soon 👀)

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

We have to try

Another great year of love, livin’ life, and good friends 🎂💙 Cheers to turning 27

@HBraine Dude crushed it. The stagecraft & production was incredible

@Valoryze That ending was perfect

@ThisIsDglove @Clix Killer news, congrats Darren!

🚨 Big update 🚨🚨 I’m stepping into the CEO role at @Clix Gaming, a creator-led gaming and media company. This move reflects a shift that’s been obvious for a while which I’ve been very vocal about. The biggest creators aren’t just making content anymore; they’re running businesses. But many are still set up like solo operators, with scattered teams, platform-dependent revenue, and very little structure behind the scenes. Clix is at the point where he was ready for that to change; and he’s more motivated than ever to be an innovator in the space. At the center of all this is Clix, with a global audience of over 25M+ across Twitch, YouTube, and social — and aggregating 1,583,023,294 views in 2025 (yes, over 1.5B) — Around that, we’re building real infrastructure: 1. Clix Production — a content production team producing live stream, long form, and short form content at scale. 2. @ClixCreative — a game studio creating games and experiences in Fortnite (with Roblox close behind). 3. @DR3AMINClothing — a lifestyle apparel brand that turns Cody’s inspirational story and community into product 4. @XSET — a gaming lifestyle brand and connected media network rooted in competitive gaming and culture. Clix Gaming brings those pieces together under one roof, so brands and partners aren’t just working with a solo-creator, but with a real company that can build, execute, and scale collective opportunities. Welcome to 2026 where we are leaning heavier and heavier into a creator-first, community-driven way of building media and marketing strategies; where people engage because they WANT to, not because they’re being marketed to. In gaming, especially Fortnite, that model already works and we’ve got the case studies to back it up. This just felt like the right time to commit fully to building something special. And for partnerships, Clix remains represented by @vaynersports as his agency team continuing to lead commercial strategy and brand relationships! @ajv @Spiher @bzanger3 More to come — but in the meantime, would love to reintroduce myself to my network to showcase an chat how we might be able to work together. 👋😃 Hope to see some of you in San Fran for Super Bowl and LA for NBA All Star Weekend 🏈 🏀 Please reach out for my new email 🗣️ ➡️: clixgaming.gg

@stephenhalphen Love to see it! Congrats and best of luck

Big career move: I switched industries 😅 I’m stepping away from the esports/gaming chapter I’ve been in for the last 10+ years. That chapter gave me reps I’ll carry forever: building brands under pressure, leading teams, and telling stories that actually land. Now I’m bringing that energy into a new role at Genworth/CareScout, working on brand + creative leadership. New industry, same obsession: make the work human, clear, and impactful. P.S. I'll be posting more regularly here as well as my LinkedIn!

TODAY: Hundreds of thousands in Minnesota braved -10°F weather to march through downtown Minneapolis as part of the statewide general strike demanding ICE out of the Twin Cities.

I will keep pounding the table on this because people don’t realize how bad it is We are actively destroying family formation and upward mobility of people in their 20s and 30s just to make boomers happy They are already the wealthiest generation by far. They already make up the majority of the political class But it is still not enough > more money printing that benefits the asset holders at the expense of savers > more regulations that prevent new housing construction at the expense of new homebuyers > more tax cuts that transfer wealth from the working youth to the idle old > more deficits and national debt that the younger generation will have to bear the burden for The youth no longer believe in a capitalistic system because their elders have taken it as hostage for themselves The youth no longer have skin in the game of society. A generation with no stake in the system would rather watch it burn

As we've said before, Wraith Ops is all about gunplay and gameplay first. Pure FPS action, no fluff. ✅— No battlepasses, no immersion-breaking cosmetics, no FOMO, no Gacha, no silly killstreaks and most importantly...no bullshit. 💪 Get in, play with your friends, level up and grind. Fun is the foundation of everything we've built here.

Seeing @CalvinHarris live at CFP is a core memory 🏈🏆

He’s right it’s a Nazi game plan. Military on the streets. Stoke violence. Use that to suspend rights. It’s a Nazi game plan and everyone needs to start saying it before we’re stuffed into trains and herded to Alligator Auschwitz

Wow. Expedition 33 is the first game I’ve rolled credits on in a while and to no surprise, it’s a fucking masterpiece 👏 WP @SandfallGames. I cannot wait for your next project!

@NiceWigg Excellent W big dawg 🤝

No longer a creator Now a Co-Owner 💯

The US attack on Venezuela is part of a larger US imperialist assault on all of Latin America. This is the US empire's plan. It was spelled out clearly in the Trump administration's 2025 National Security Strategy. The US seeks to forcibly impose its hegemony in the entire western hemisphere, reviving the colonial Monroe Doctrine (now known as the "Donroe Doctrine"). The plan is for US corporations to control all of the region's strategic natural resources, including critical minerals and rare earth elements. The US wants to create a new supply chain in the western hemisphere that cuts out China, to prepare for future conflict with Beijing. Trump administration officials recognize that manufacturing jobs are not actually coming back to the US, so they admit in the National Security Strategy that they want to "near-shore manufacturing" to Latin America. US corporations hope to exploit low-paid Latin American workers to make their products, cutting out China. This is also why a new US-dominated supply chain in the western hemisphere is needed: not only because the US military-industrial complex needs to remove China from the supply chain for the weapons that it is making to prepare for a potential future war with China; but also because Washington wants to economically decouple from China, and thinks Latin America can help it do that. Moreover, the US empire seeks to control all of the strategic infrastructure in the region. So the Trump administration is going to brazenly threaten Latin American countries to force China to sell any investments it has in infrastructure projects. Trump already forced Panama to pressure the Hong Kong company that owned ports surrounding the Panama Canal to sell them to Wall Street giant BlackRock. It is likely that the US will also target Peru's Port of Chancay, one of the most important ports in the region, which was built by China. Washington could even blackmail Latin American governments to force them to impose restrictions on Chinese investment in the region. The National Security Council shows how the Trump administration is obsessed with trying to force the countries of Latin America to cut off their ties with China. This is Cold War Two. In his first trip abroad as secretary of state, Marco Rubio went to Panama, where he forced the country to withdraw from China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The Trump administration is going to massively increase its pressure on other countries in the region to withdraw from the BRI. Likewise, Trump blatantly meddled in Honduras' election in 2025 and backed an electoral coup d'etat. Honduras' new right-wing US puppet regime will likely formally break diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China. The US also wants to use Honduras as a base of operations for attacks on the Sandinista government in neighboring Nicaragua. After bombing and occupying Venezuela, Trump and Marco Rubio want to carry out similar imperialist regime-change wars on Nicaragua and Cuba. Rubio has dedicated his entire career to overthrowing their socialist revolutions. It is a political crusade for him. The Trump administration's goal is simple: to impose right-wing US puppet regimes in every country in Latin America, which will obediently serve the interests of Washington and Wall Street, and sell off their assets to US investors. Two important elections are coming up in 2026 in countries with left-wing governments: Brazil (in October) and Colombia (in May). It is guaranteed that the Trump administration is going to meddle in those elections to try to put in power obedient right-wing US puppets (like Javier Milei in Argentina). Trump is also threatening to bomb Mexico, which has a very popular left-wing, independent government. Mexico has strongly opposed these US threats, saying they would be an attack on Mexico's sovereignty. But the US empire doesn't care a bit about sovereignty. The superficial, puerile rhetoric about "democracy" that we hear from Western officials and pundits is ridiculous. It is impossible for the countries of Latin America (and the Global South as a whole) to practice democracy when the world's most powerful and deadliest empire is constantly interfering in their elections, attacking them, imposing sanctions on them, and sponsoring coups. True democracy is impossible while imperialism exists.
