1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Slowness and reflectiveness have always been part of the video game medium. In "Zen and Slow Games," Víctor Navarro-Remesal challenges the dominant discourse by delving into the reflective modes of playfulness in video games. Available #OpenAccess: bit.ly/3Lh2r22 @vthewanderer.bsky.social

The most important post on Bluesky today
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Money and power are concentrating in video games in the same way as in the wider world. And games influence people’s thoughts and attitudes: the most powerful people in the world have started to realise this. I wrote about the state of play at the end of 2025:

State of play: who holds the power in the video games industry in 2025?
This year has brought us many brilliant video games – but as wealth continues to concentrate, and games are used to exert economic and political influence, we need to keep an eye on the top players
