Video game award shows aren't really about video games. They're about saying, "I may have no actual talent and am devoid of charisma, but I sure do have some famous friends."
Here are some of the presenters you'll see next week at the Hard Drive Game Awards. (12/2 7PM ET)

Just thinking about how fucked up mega-rich people must be, because they can't even enjoy their money properly, because the most enjoyable thing to do with money is to use it to fix people's problems.

Jeers to work being slow for money reasons, but cheers for the rest and the room for me to want to cook when I'm not cooking all week.

Beef bourguignon with garlic rosemary mashed potatoes. I'm happy to be in a place where I am able to cook with wine while still refusing to drink it.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

This helps immensely and I was kinda waiting for someone to run through the multiple apps I saw friends recommending, but not in unison. Who knows what the CEO of Qobuz will do with my money, but at least they pay the artists more.
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Thousands of prospects fail the bar and no one says a thing. We can assume that they assume it's a personal failing.

But as soon as a highly visible, incredibly monied person does it...
“It’s easy to laugh at Kim Kardashian, who recently announced that she failed the California bar exam,” Max Raskin writes.

“But Kardashian’s failure is not a knock on her — it’s an indictment of the bar.”
Opinion | Actually, the bar exam failed Kim Kardashian
The test is not about quality control for lawyers, it’s about quantity control.

With Mamdani meeting with the P3do In Chief and coming out being like "that guy is cool and chill," and with MTG announcing her retirement last night, I can't help but wonder what the fuck is going on.

great. just what I need, my tax software telling me to kill myself
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:

*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

On the pod, DLCC head Heather Williams is informative on what's next:

Trump’s Plot to Rig 2026 Is Falling Apart, and Boy Is He Mad About It

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

Difficult to articulate how repulsive this is coming from a political party dedicated to abusing children in every way. Not only does every word reek of Christian nationalism, but the entire onus of national child abuse is placed on trans people. Fucking awful.

All psychological conditions can be boiled down to whether or not behaviors received the appropriate choice of three base realms of response:
1. "I love you/that"
2. "Fuck you/that/off"
3. No response.

Misapply these and that's how mental illnesses develop later, paired with genetic tendencies ofc.
