Here’s a gift link to this stunner Washpost story, quoting the 60 Minutes correspondent on the CECOT story, who accuses Bari Weiss of spiking the piece all because the Trump Administration wouldn’t comment.
“Government silence is a statement, not a VETO.”

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

Magic is not about winning games. Magic is about pulling off a totally sick, elaborate, surprise move that keeps you alive one turn longer than you thought and forces your opponent to do slightly more work to kill you anyway.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The thing that makes “game of the year” a fun conversation is the absence of a widely recognized award and every attempt to legitimize or take “Game of the Year” (The Game Award) seriously just ruins the whole thing

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

I miss the days (and it could’ve conceivably lined up this way if they kept making Prime games after 3) where this guy would obviously only be in there as the companion player 2 character in brand new co-op campaign in this previously single player series
Finding out Metroid Prime 4 has a bumbling, comic relief sidekick that looks like this. It has maybe never been more over.

Don't forget that that's literally just equalizing the field: your employer uses the threat of financial loss to "encourage" you to work for them. It's only fair you could wield the threat of financial loss to "encourage" them to treat you and your colleagues fairly. That's it. That is all it is.

A gem from @apzonerunner.com that I 100% agree with from my reviewer days: “a piece of advice I always give to younger critics when I'm editing or mentoring is that if I'm torn between two scores, I have never regretted going low on that wavering, but I have regretted going high multiple times”

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.
