basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Feel like I remember a very vocal, worryingly large, group of people that were pretty happy that Xbox was buying Activision Blizzard.
Wonder how they feel now that this inevitable news has finally come.

i am far too stupid to be weighing in on this but one thing i would stress is that gaming media’s collapse wasn’t an inevitable fact of life. it’s the result of very stupid people making decisions they could have just as easily not made

What should be a free tech demo but isn't was announced along with the Nintendo Switch 2 called Welcome Tour. Nintendo's not welcome to my cash for it, though.

What's up with this growing sentiment that people should just shut up and watch a show through before talking about it? Online communities are dumb, etc
Isn't the appeal of some shows to sit around with friends and debate all your dumbass ideas every week?

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now.
The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

Renaming it Gulf of America may be the most perfect encapsulation of the times we live in.
America is a gulf. A gulf of morals. A gulf of intellectual interest. Of wealth. Of empathy.
We are just as divided as we seem to be bereft of the above, huge chasms all that's left of what's ripped away
