An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it.
Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

"As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free" gets all the attention (correctly), but don't overlook "He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored." Battle Hymn of the Republic is packed with heaters. Julia Ward Howe — she had bars! Should be our national anthem.

More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

If you haven't already now is a GREAT time to download this album for $7. All proceeds benefit Streetwise, a weekly magazine that assists and employs homeless people. We're trying to hit $500 in donations in the next couple of days
I spoke with Block Club about our little Christmas album a handful of journalists and I released last week. Hear @mauriciopena.bsky.social crush the vocals on "The Christmas Song," me returning to my Midwest emo roots, and an original from @ctoner.bsky.social.
