NYTimes was also aware a staff writer was a close friend of Epstein - who had been offered incriminating photos of a Presidential candidate - and chose instead to spend the next decade on totally unjustified, frankly delusional, propagandized coverage of trans people and their doctors as “predators”
I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

What the fuck are these writers on? They rebooted the franchise five films ago and nobody was losing sleep over Bond being being a rookie or complained that they abandoned the continuity of Die Another Day. Nobody is complaining about Bond being a new agent in First Light by IOi, just get on with it
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

You know, sometimes I wonder how the fuck someone so shitty became a US ambassador and then I remember that you actually don't need to be a career diplomat in the US, you just need to have enough connections.
To say "those Ukrainians and Belarusians and Russians are all the same to me" is disgusting
