Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

The Board of Peace plans to build a prison camp in Rafah (they call it a city) for 25,000 Palestinians, where the prisoners will be monitored 24/7 & every aspect of their lives will be controlled by Israel.

This is the Emperor of Mankind. He's been on a golden throne for the last 10,000 years. He's kept "alive" (supposedly) with the sacrifice of hundreds of psychics' lives every day.

Ive never played any kind of Warhammer game but I think I may give this a shot; apparently, I’d like the goth metal creepy alien aesthetics of this universe.
You can now play Space Marine 2 on Xbox Game Pass! 💚
The game’s also compatible with Xbox Play Anywhere. Tell your friends it’s not too late to join the battlefield and fight in the name of the Emperor. 😌

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

Your journalistic mentor sounds a lot like my old theatre studies teacher. I tend to shorthand it as, "If you're reviewing something, you're dissecting it, not eviscerating it". Big difference between a doctor and Freddy Krueger.
