So, is the price of Xbox Game Pass ... ... too damn high?

@itscocobee.bsky.social and I discuss the value proposition of all-you-can play video games when there's only so many hours in a month and the price of EVERYTHING is going up.

What if you had to upload a govt ID to use Instagram, Reddit & Wikipedia?

New age verification laws in Mississippi and the UK have good intentions and DISASTROUS consequences for privacy and free speech. We figure out WTF is going on:

KPop Demon Hunters is officially the most-watched movie in the history of Netflix.

Let this be a lesson to movie, TV, and game studios: Take more chances on new IP with diverse characters.

We are tired of "safe" remakes and sequels.

FUCK this. If I spend hours, days, WEEKS creating a video, it should appear EXACTLY as I made it.

If YouTube wants to offer enhancing tools, great. But *I* get to decide when to use them.

AI optimizing videos WITHOUT MY CONSENT harms creators and audiences. It only serves algorithms.

A fateful trip to Toys 'R' Us and a very supportive mom changed everything for @gameovergreggy.bsky.social

I had a blast chatting with Greg about his love of games, 10 years of @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social, and fighting the good fight.

If you've read an article about video games in the last 2 decades, chances are it was written by @lukeplunkett.com, a 17-year vet of Kotaku and now the co-founder of the worker-owned, advertising-free @aftermath.site.

Despite the media biz in chaos, Luke is optimistic. @itscocobee.bsky.social

Banks are decided what video games you're allowed to buy, and guess what? They don't like the sexy / LGBTQ+ ones.

Games journalist @acvalens.net joins me to discuss why games AND the journalists covering this issue have been censored by Visa and Mastercard.

Boycott.
After the Paramount-Skydance merger, CBS will now officially become state media for the Trump regime.

Brendan Carr, Chairman of the FCC, said the government is placing “an ombudsman in place for two years,” which he described as “basically a bias monitor that will report directly to the President.”

In 2005, you could count the total # of podcasts on one hand. One of them was @mugglecast.bsky.social, a Harry Potter fan show mostly run by teenagers that's been going for 20 YEARS.

Laina Morris was just 20 years old when she entered a Justin Bieber fan contest on YouTube.

She didn't win the concert tickets, but when she woke up, she had become one of the most recognizable memes on the Internet. But at what cost?

Earlier this year, a university research team conducted an important experiment on r/ChangeMyView to see if AI could change opinions.

Just one problem: They did not get consent. So how can we study the weaponization of LLMs ethically?

Remember when rioters were trying to overthrow the U.S. government and DT waited 4 hours to call in the national guard?

But wasted no time calling them in to crush peaceful protests in LA?
