That's not my real name. Surprise, I'm also not Obama wearing Eazy-E's Compton hat and Locs either.

Does Rockstar need any more money? No, tf it does not. But it could make a lot of money and cut EA off at the knees by putting The Sims 5 in GTA VI. (I will explain.)

Japan's first firearm serial killer was also a skilled judoka, so when a young policeman finally caught up with him, armed with nothing but a truncheon, it looked like Sadakichi Shimizu's kill-count would jump from 6 to 7. Read on to see what happened next:

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

If I'm being honest the question I have is regarding the cost of calling it anything at all.
About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

This is legitimately just washing gambling-websites-as-future-tellers and they posted it to their socials.

Very happy to see we're getting another Steam Controller.

That said.

It is UGLY AF though – how could they do this to my boy?

Look at how pretty it used to be.

Devotion is an interesting word. He's obviously speaking to donors rather than voters but think on that a moment:

That word in his comment, given the context, doesn't just underneath his own skirt, it's also lifting the skirt of all the establishment politicians and media he's supported by.

Because the alternative is that thing we're not allowed to talk about on any social media platform, ever, as plebes.
He'd still get to be a billionaire, so sure. Every goddamn one of them should be grateful for a deal like that.

but without irony or sarcasm, this.

stick Mamdani in the Senate and let him age like wine with AOC. that's how we're gonna get progressive socialism in power.

it's not about a magic person coming down from heaven to guide us. it's about building the power base.
Zohran Mamdani is not the future of the Democratic party, some guy who 95% of people couldn't pick out of a lineup and the other 5% don't like him is

It would be so fucking funny if Andrew's life of royal privilege leads him to resent his Epstein downfall so much that he just starts tweeting out lists of names and party photos.
HE'S NIXONING!!!

Actually fuck you PBS News, my flight DID get cancelled and I had to rebook with a different airline at a much more expensive rate and I'm still not sure my return flight won't get cancelled.

new tax idea just dropped:

products too good to be true, sold by the State. if you fall for it we take your money and give it to schools.

honestly this isn't any different than the state lottery
if you believe fully autonomous robot butlers are just over the horizon you are actually one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive and we should take your money from you so we can put it towards something worthwhile

It's super telling when people are suddenly all irate about Rockstar after a delay is announced, but not in the two decades they've been about union busting.

I legit hope the game crashes and burns and acts as an anchor on the industry at large.

Same for any Mass Effect sequels, tbh.

He's so excited he's got a reason to talk about literally anything other than Trump and Epstein

_The possessive apostrophe is real mfers_
Pringles have come in so many flavors over the years, but one of the most interesting was “Butter’n Herbs” in 1986. Also interesting that it was still spelled “Pringle’s” in the possessive at the time.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.
