I'm once again eternally grateful that the bro-ligarchs do not understand the Streisand Effect.
There is no world in which I would have seen this interview if they had not tried to suppress it.

The real reason CBS didn't let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico is that the Ellisons are still trying to buy Warner Bros.
David Ellison runs Paramount, which owns CBS.
He's using CBS to show what loyal oligarchs they are as they seek FCC approval for a WBD deal.

Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question:
"why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]"

This is literally the best article on this topic I've ever read. It is something that many game devs can tell you straight to your face, and something SO many people simply don't believe.

Survival-themed cyberpunk RPG where instead of weapon durability, you need to purchase a subscription for each weapon, which depletes based on how much damage you inflict. Hit points exist in-universe as a value calculated by your weapons' built-in biometric scanners to meter subscription usage.

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings.

A podcast that very much captures how I feel about the extractive and exploitative practices of big tech.
And if you don’t do these practices or not as profitable as those who do, your product will go away.

Strongly recommended, but it’s important to be in a good headspace. I went in cold and it was a lot.
