Christmas for kids: this rocks

Christmas for me: nothing in the dishwasher comes out clean? Why do the water pipes now start ringing whenever I turn on the sink faucet? Oh no the kitchen lights are dimming when I turn on the toaster.

The head of 60 Minutes: "I stand by our story."

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
imon told her staff that she has enjoyed a “good working relationship” with Weiss since she started as the network’s top editor earlier this year. “I am not here to, you know, ascribe motive and place blame. I just wanted to tell you all the sequence of events and reiterate how grateful I am to everyone, and I stand by our story.”

EA hasn't yet commented on the Battlefield 6 AI sticker backlash but I expect it will get removed from the bundle in the coming days.
kotaku.com Kotaku @kotaku.com · 6d
Kotaku understands EA is investigating AI cosmetics in Battlefield 6 after fans called out a double-barreled rifle sticker over the weekend.

It's the latest front in an ongoing player backlash against gen AI in gaming https://kotaku.com/battlefield-6-ai-stickers-cosmetics-bundle-2000655167

EA's statement on the tragic loss of Vince Zampella
This is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts are with Vince’s family, his loved ones, and all those touched by his work. Vince’s influence on the video game industry was profound and far-reaching. A friend, colleague, leader and visionary creator, his work helped shape modern interactive entertainment and inspired millions of players and developers around the world. His legacy will continue to shape how games are made and how players connect for generations to come.

Imagine being sent to censor CBS but also being this bad at it

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn
