If you believe you’re hamstrung by HUMAN RIGHTS LAWS, maybe reevaluate what you’re trying to achieve. Or jump into the ocean.

"At the moment they're hamstrung by human rights laws, by health and safety laws, by all sorts of needless and obstructive bureaucracy"

Wow 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple… after years of The Walking Dead and The Last of Us, this shit feels weirdly refreshing. I prefer the first of these new films overall, though. Man I hope we get more stuff in this world.

Whilst I think I’m burnt out on Labour full stop unless radical change comes to the party anyway, I would much prefer Burnham to Starmer and it’s hilarious that he’s being blocked. Shambles.

Trump always manages to to find new ways to surprise me with his comments. Now he’s disregarding the lives of allies lost during an illegal war the states dragged them into.
He’s going to try to leave NATO isn’t he?

I gave the AYN Thor “Retro Handheld of the Year” on @startmenu.bsky.social but recently I’ve been playing a hell of a lot of RG477M. GammaOS has changed this time for me big time.

The internet is a funny place. Grown men will say the worst things imaginable and think it fine. I think back to things we used to say as teenagers to each other without a care in the world and feel sick with regret and guilt. Is it that some people just don't have empathy, or refuse to grow?

Even by Trump’s standard that message he just sent via the UN Security Council is nuts. He’s really going to do it isn’t he?

Today has been horrid.
Left work at noon due to feeling sick and shaky. Had been in bed since 1.30pm shivering and throwing up. Now I’m a little better except for my head.

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

if you havent cancelled spotify yet and this isnt the final nail in the coffin for you, i really dont know what else to say other than i hope some introspection finds you soon
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.
