This may be an "old woman yells at cloud" moment, but I genuinely do miss when a game just released fully and that was it. No extra DLC content, no micro transactions, etc. Just buying the game and you get the ENTIRE experience in box.

In a new legal filing, Trump is asking the Supreme Court to pause a ban on TikTok set to go into effect Jan. 19, saying a pause would allow his admin to "pursue a negotiated resolution that could prevent a nationwide shutdown of TikTok."

This level of wealth concentration is indefensible
According to Barron’s, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by almost $200 billion between November 5 and December 20. That means he could give $250,000 to every homeless person in the US and still be as rich as he was on November 5.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.

I wrote this column the other week (paywalled) which included part of the statement from the NZ Rugby League Board who have made a submission against ACT’s divisive bill.
Folks seem to have missed this move but I think it’s important from a sport like league.

26000 days ago (October 18, 1953), the newly-relocated Orioles agree to buy territorial rights to Baltimore from the International League for $48,749. That’s about 57% of what the highest paid player in baseball, Ted Williams, earned in 1953 ($85,000).

Xmas has changed.
35 yrs ago, my non-Latino family in the US, told me 'never say you're Mexican. You don't want Americans knowing your mom is from Mexico'.
Tonight, all my family not from the USA, told my kid, 'always say you're Mexican. You don't want Swedes knowing your dad is from the US.'

One of my absolute favourite #stainedglass windows for #ChristmasEve's #AdventAngels, here showing the shepherds hearing the 'good tidings' at Stokesay, #Shropshire, by Henry Payne, 1904. There's no fear here, the sheep still placidly cropping the lush spring-like grass...

It should be bigger news that the leader of a political party is arguing for us to abandon human rights (the UK drafted the 🤬 EHRC)!
Farage wants to argue that the UK can't be prosperous without treating people inhumaney? People want to vote for that? Will it be more or less prosperous than Brexit?
