And here’s Lina Khan saying ‘I told you so’ about the impact of Microsoft acquiring Activision
![Tweet from Lina Khan: Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision has been followed by significant price hikes and layoffs, harming both gamers and developers.
As we’ve seen across sectors, increasing market consolidation and increasing prices often go hand-in-hand.
As dominant firms become too-big-to-care, they can make things worse for their customers without having to worry about the consequences.
The tweet is quoting a tweet from Lee Hepner showing an increase in the price of Game Pass Ultimate and saying:
In March 2023, Microsoft told a court, "Game Pass prices will not increase as a result of the [Microsoft-Activision] Merger."
On July 10, 2023, a federal judge (whose son works at Microsoft!) rejected the FTC's challenge to the merger.
Once again: Lina Khan was right.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eprjv2z3nhi36z6vzbmgtxib/bafkreiduzrit4itnq33jzilg2u3ti34rjnrgqm5hlgpfai6bbizugakzr4@jpeg)

You can’t be serious. Here’s Matthew 25:40-45 in Jesus’ own words.
“Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’”
“Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’”
![Excerpt from the Bible. Matthew 25:40-45
And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
“Then they also will answer [a]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eprjv2z3nhi36z6vzbmgtxib/bafkreiatxhdtyvtaqc6jr2c2oa5ysegqcdk4q5zfgf2addjbvlkuil2vxy@jpeg)

I don’t think it’s fair to blame boomers alone for this one. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one. I kept wondering whether I had accidentally changed my settings.
Turning off “Auto-Correction” under keyboard settings fixed it for me. I’d rather be more careful with my typing or make occasional spelling errors than send out random words.

Finally came first in the #Duolingo diamond league! Took a vacation week and the luck of being part of a relatively less competitive league group.
