Truth bomb from State Senator Janet Petersen @janet4iowa.bsky.social during the Iowa Senate Judiciary Committee's discussion of a "three strikes" criminal sentencing bill on Thursday. (Rs advanced the bill on a party-line vote but plan to amend it before floor debate) #ialegis

Always worth listening to points of personal privilege! Grateful to State Sen Cindy Winckler for putting this on my radar: Gov Kim Reynolds is refusing to fill vacancies on the Early Childhood Iowa board, which will give state officials more control over what’s supposed to be a citizen-led board.

On "KHOI's Capitol Week," I put some context around Adam Steen's bizarre "Sharia law" comments from Monday. Audio and detailed written write-up here: laurabelin.substack.com/p/governors-...

Studios didn't hire me because I had no experiences in gaming... So I decided to make my own. Here's my first indie game: Maseylia - Echoes of the Past. It's an action platformer, thought as a 3D metroidvania (with backtracking, abilities to unlock, combat...). And it's inspired by Moebius !
