Germany's Friedrich Ebert Stiftung has completed and published on line the first systematic deconstruction of the oligarchic clique that stands behind JD Vance and Donald Trump. A project that American corporate media are afraid to touch (because... guess who controls American corporate media).

Reminder that back in 2010, during the Plastic Beach era, Gorillaz cancelled their appearance at a festival in Tel Aviv in protest of Israel killing nine people trying to supply aide to Gaza.
Israel has been committing genocide for a while, and Gorillaz have been against it

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

RIP PC Powerplay. One of the greats, one of a clutch of Aussie mags that didn’t just make me want to write about games, but showed me Aussies could do it and succeed. Shattered to know it’s gone.

This was a nice surprise. One of the other guide writers at IGN pointed me at this Reddit post about the SILENT HILL 2 guide I wrote last year.
Nice to know somebody appreciated all my dumb jokes. As one of the commenters said, you do get loopy when you're writing these things at 3 AM.
