It is *staggering* how common this is, and pretty depressing how deeply the algorithm seems to favour it. As long as it's got a flashy thumbnail and a title like "Donkey Kong Broke Me." (and optionally a dude on a green screen) it doesn't matter. People can fall asleep to it. Watch time baby
Too many video game YouTube essays aren’t doing analysis! They’re just listing every single thing that’s in the video game and explaining the story beats in the order they occur. We used to have standards! It used to be a real website!

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

last week i awoke to the rumor that ICE was casing our schools; I had to wake up the kids early like "okay so you guys need to bathe and dress now. Here's the deal: you know how the president is evil. well he also has an army of evil secret police who like to kidnap kids. so i gotta go look for em"

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

look at them. murderers itching to murder again but these people chose to stay, to film, to witness, to risk being next, to risk having their families targeted, their names dragged through the mud before their bodies are even cold. i wish they did not have to be brave but i'm grateful that they are.
From Whittier a few hrs ago—after shooting & killing an ICE responder in Minneapolis, 37 yr old Alex Pretti, DHS agents brutalized a crowd that gathered & flooded the area w/ tear gas.

@andral404.bsky.social captured this moment against a building where a fed then pointed his rifle at someone.

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant
We're getting a snowstorm tomorrow. But New York City is prepared.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

There is, I think a real moral imperative from all of us to act as bravely and be out there as earnestly as the people of Minneapolis.

I know that’s maybe scary for some folks but we have a very true *obligation* to protect our communities with the same fervor.

if the genocide in gaza is the experiment zone for the technology of colonial control and annihilation that capital, via US imperialism & its barracks-outpost (the zionist occupation of palestine), exports worldwide, the executions in minneapolis are the experiment for all cities in the core

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

The coffee shop is packed with people. It’s giving out coupons to anyone who donates plasma in the blood center truck outside. A pair of neighbors wait for coffee and fill each other in on the latest ICE killing. A man has to excuse himself to quietly cry in the corner.

A Saturday in Minneapolis.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.
