The Instrumentality Project was a success. I removed the barriers of the human form & united all of humanity into one being. With the body and ego gone, pilots and first officers could finally understand each other.

There was just one problem: You need a physical form to fly a plane.

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a soulless and soul-destroying game that thinks exceptionally little of its players and developers.

My one-star review for @restart.run:

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Review | Restart
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is an underwhelming, frustrating experience, even at its best.

Video store picking skill issue, I'm afraid.
Someone doesn’t remember how badly going to a video store sucked, and just generally how much worse things were in the 90s-2000s. Oh, it doesn’t work perfectly? Sometimes they just didn’t have the thing you wanted. We live in an era of unprecedented media abundance and it’s has spoiled us rotten.
I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Three things you probably didn't know about Mitsubishi:

1. Mitsubishi Only Exists Because a Terrifying Assassin Was Feeling Lazy

2. Mitsubishi Helped Kill the Last of the Samurai

3. There Is No Such Thing as the "Mitsubishi" Company

You see the name everywhere in Japan and yet, there are still many things about Mitsubishi you may not know.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound slaps. I was thrilled to break down how The Game Kitchen took the essence of what made NES Ninja Gaiden awesome and reinvented it to create some of the coolest 2D action you can find. I couldn't have asked for a better game to make my review debut at Kotaku, give it a read!
Happy to have @timmonbleau.bsky.social bring his knowledge of NES Ninja Gaiden (and its nefarious "boomerang birds" which haunt the memories of many an NES gamer) to this review of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound for Kotaku! kotaku.com/ninja-gaiden...

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

New article! NEW ARTICLE!!!

Let's talk about the ways that plagiarists and AI are trying to automate sociopathy and why copyright might actually be a powerful tool to fuck with 'em.

And, how do we make a world where even copyright is no longer necessary?

copyright rules, ai drools, and plagiarism is for suckers who have no soul
