New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller

"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."
ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller
The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."

Super excited for the teams at ArtPlay and 505 to finally reveal what they have been cooking up.

Proud to have been a small part of the game in the early stages. Keep up the great work! 🎮

Good insight on how businesses make decision in modern industry. And quite topical considering layoffs in the gaming industry, again, under the guise of executives' promise to "sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities." 🎮

All for this. I really enjoyed the game/story but I hit a hard wall and would have loved to finish the story without unnecessarily bashing my head against a wall to do so. 🎮

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Probably shouldn’t have expected anything from United today. I will never know how Amorim rated Shaw. And Zirkzee should probably have started, or at least come on sooner. #mufc

Damn, May Day madness as two cornerstones of gaming journalism decimated in the same day - Giant Bomb and Polygon. Best of luck to all those affected. As a listener/reader your work was amazing. 🎮

Oblivion was the first 360 game I played and I sunk more than 200 hours into it. Loved it. But, yeah, it can wait. 🎮

Catching up on the Marathon discourse and, accessible or not, it doesn't sound like a game for me as I still prefer single player affairs to multiplayer grinds.

However, this trailer is dope. I'd watch a full film in this style. 🎮

Dreadful performance today. Zirkzee injured. Everything riding on Thursday’s game against Lyon. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #mufc

Glad to see her finally get her chance. She’s been fantastic for United! #mufc

There are definitely more important things in the world but, oh damn, I just realized Blue Prince is also on Game Pass, and plus South of Midnight and Atomfall just recently launched, and I still want to finish Avowed. Need to finish my credential ASAP. 🎮

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Remember SignalGate?

(One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

It is undeniable that FromSoftware are continuously creating some of the most impressive designs in the industry. I would love to experience this story, but the games are just not accessible to be me. Would putting a game on Switch 2 allow them to consider a difficulty option? 🎮

I still think that Spider-verse has been one of the best stories being told, superhero movie or otherwise, so it hurts to think we’re still two years from the conclusion. But damn, so hyped for this showdown.

Still find it disgusting that anyone can lose millions of dollars like this without batting an eye.
They bought votes and still lost.

Felt this article hard after a tough day in the classroom today. My students just would not start on their own and have almost no initiative or motivation to persevere. I'm sure my inexperience as a student teacher contributes, still learning the craft, but it certainly seems like a wider problem.
