Everyone ten years ago when The Force Awakens came out: “Wow, this is dumb. Why are the fascists just doing the exact same plan again?”
Everyone now: “Oh.”

Honestly, I feel like I can’t really do a deep dive here because there’s so much you just have to experience yourself. I switched over to playing the PS5 version and, man.

“Glorious and grand leader, you should not push that button.
Sir. That is a crime.
If you push that button, you will commit securities fraud.
Please, eminently likeable and handsome grand leader, do not press that button.
My lord, you pressed the button and have now committed securities fraud.”

Absolutely fantastic reporting. As a side note, this explains why the Innovation in Accessibility Award has been relegated to the preshow for the past two years. And it's safe to assume it will be like that this year.
Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.
Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

When I was writing my space opera trilogy a few years ago, I decided never to use the word "race" to refer to alien species. I used "species," "peoples," "civilizations," etc.
I've also tried to stop saying "human race" in casual conversation.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

this was a business discovery to us! we wondered for ages why our subscriber base wasn't matching broader games media reading patterns; when we asked around, turns out loads of europeans simply don't like using credit cards.

To be fair, predatory landlords *are* criminals.
Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash.
He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.
