I don’t know if I want 7 season of The Pitt, but it’s sad to live in a world where it’s not really a possibility anymore.

also, when all of this falls apart, I am taking some heads, so many people have told me in the last year that I was wrong and that the enterprise would be where the money was. It isn't there! It so obviously isn't there! It was never going to be there!

Tonight’s Severance episode was far and away the best of the series and also had so many Lost influences it made me dizzy

Sad to report I just lost my job at nuclear, after 40 years of faithful service overseeing the US nuclear arsenal. My job was keeping all the nukes from exploding by pressing the don't explode button every 48 hours.

Truly feels like we are facing the end of the administrative state, with part of it replaced with atrocious and destructive private alternatives.

Worst of all, you know the Dems have zero capability (and likely, interest) in rebuilding it.
This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

This Kara Swisher interview is both revisionist history and empty pablum. Shameful for Ezra Klein and his people to help her launder her reputation as if she wasn't enabling every single one of these guys and literally doing her book tour with them!

I truly appreciate Severance’s focus on emotional storytelling rather than lore dumping. The show is extremely economical in the way it explains things, wrapping story beats into the character moments that are what make it actually good.

I keep losing track of which minority group liberals are blaming for failing to win a Presidency three months ago because it seems to constantly change. And it's weird, since the only minority group that makes sense to put the blame on is Democratic leadership.

This kind of thing is driving me nuts, because so much of it was performative already. But now not even performative diversity is allowed.

The first ending I got in Citizen Sleeper last year made me cry, and I’ve been waiting for this ever since. The sequel is every bit as stellar, but more expansive and robust, feeling like the whole galaxy is aching for exploration.
CITIZEN SLEEPER 2 is💫OUT NOW!💫

Get a ship, find a crew, and take on contracts while you navigate across the Starward Belt, in this Dice Driven RPG.

Baldur’s Gate 3 hangs over the gaming industry so heavily that its director basically gave a game of the year reception speech again.

a lot of video games are like tiktok now in that they're just addiction traps dressed up with pretty art, so yeah a lot of them basically are
This is absurd and sounds like those criticisms back then (and even now) that video games are evil.

They’re gonna spend four years on an exhaustive, detailed, well-fielded, well-constructed survey on media consumption instead of just giving people something to vote for
"We don’t know how people get their information...[we need] an exhaustive, detailed, well-fielded, well-constructed survey on media consumption."

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

I have written probably more than anyone on this subject (hundreds of thousands of words) and the answer is that executives often have no idea what happens at their companies or what actual work looks like
I do not understand why, after remote work has been repeatedly proven to be just as productive (if not more so) than in-office work, people should be required to return to in-office work in order to justify the money the bosses spent on real estate.
Demanding that people go back to the office five days a week has been shown to punish staff who are lower-income, parents, and disabled. It is also not necessary for reporters and journalists who do much of their work in the field, on the phone, or on laptop computers that can be used anywhere.

The dismantling of newsrooms made it impossible for most reporting jobs to be sustainable. It was done in a targeted and purposeful fashion, and forced many of our best reporters and writers to work for the companies they would have been investigating.
The United States now has:
• 45,020 reporters
• 275,550 public relations specialists

For every reporter, there are now six PR people.

We must must must resist the idea that generative AI is inevitable. It is not inevitable. People don't really like it. It doesn't do its job well. It removes the humanity from one of the most human-forward things. Not to mention it is an environmental nightmare. Keep banging the drum. Say no to AI.
