As someone who studies this stuff for a living basically thing amateur hour analysis actually offends me. Paradox has had it's issue to be sure but the actual problem surrounding Paradox Games and radicalization is not the content of the vanilla games themselves but the modding scene around it /1
This is an exquisite piece about something I know absolutely nothing about. Worth paying @ettingermentum.bsky.social

About 4 nights a week, when my brother and I were roughly 7 (me) and 9 (him), we would wake up around midnight, watch Stand by Me on VHS, and then go back to bed.
We did this for over a year.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

If you put the words "LOCAL FOOL" in place of Elon Musk, the headlines make more sense. People who cover him should try it to see if it helps clear up their reporting.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.
You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

So what's the outcome?
2️⃣5️⃣ of the 27 Commissioners have posted in the last week
2️⃣4️⃣ of the 27 generally post every week (Albuquerque has never been on X, Ribera is sporadic, McGrath has somehow stopped)
0️⃣ have stopped as a result of what Twitter has become since the Musk takeover

The least awful thing here, but I can't help but notice that Hegseth is so incompetent and/or drunk that in celebrating his war crimes, he's picked an image of a Canadian children's book character firing a Russian RPG-7 for his 'American' war criminal.
This is what the so-called "Secretary of War" is tweeting amid reports that his department ordered a second strike to make sure they killed survivors of a boat they attacked that they allege with no proof carries drugs (which doesn't justify bombing them even it were true)
