Gaming-Only journalists and analysts are pretty accurately calling this EA acquisition what it is: a doomed idea that will cause untold human misery and kill the company and probably bury all its IPs
Tech/Gaming Journalists keep trying to find a silver lining. Huh. Curious. Strange. Odd. Quirky.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

A couple weeks ago, these blowdried chucklefucks were "joking" about how they should reclaim the word Nazi and now they're "joking" about blowing up the UN or gassing the foreign leaders inside.
But they didn't say anything questionable about Charlie Kirk, so no big deal.

Honestly, Nate mostly seems to be mad that he is no longer the new hotness and must therefore confront the fact that he was merely the new hotness rather than a genius for the ages
I keep thinking about something that kind of got lost in the overall reaction to Nate Silver's dunderheaded article on Blueskyism.
Specifically...Silver seems to be taking an increasingly open anti-intellectual turn, and thirsting for a war on subject matter experts.

Yes, future historians, the US response to high level lawbreaking and an attempted coup was to coddle the putschists, and make special exemptions for them. It happened. I was there.

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

"Many." Who the fuck is "many?"
They don't note here that holding a state's policies contingent on *disaster relief* is unprecedented in the history of the nation, except under Trump's presidencies.
It's also illegal, for whatever that's worth.

Police who keep their identities secret are, quite literally, secret police. I don’t know why this is even controversial. You don’t get to yank people off the streets while hiding your face and identity and still retain the respectability of an accountable, democratic police force.
“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.
Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.
What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.
