I'm disappointed paid items and loot boxes are coming to Fortnite. It's clear they're spooked by Roblox and worried they're losing younger players, so they're incorporating the worst parts of Roblox. I wrote about what parents can do for @crossplayblog.bsky.social www.crossplay.news/p/fortnite-i...
What Parents Should Know About the Loot Box Changes Coming to Fortnite
For now, "Battle Royale" mode seems off limits. But within other "Island" experiences, you should be aware of what you can and cannot control for your children.

“The UK has a system in which a TV channel can pay a political leader almost half a million pounds a year and give him an hour an evening to react to his rivals without breaking a single rule.”
You might think controlling GB News gives you huge influence over UK politics – especially on the right. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, as we reveal in this week's issue of @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

Two governments took The News Agents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story.

The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death.

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside.

"With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani.

"And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

I am absolutely heartbroken for Diogo Jota, his brother Andre and their families. Diogo was celebrating his wedding just last week, this is just fucking awful. My deepest condolences to his wife, children, and their families.

Rest in peace, Diogo. YNWA

What do we think?🤔

Hmm…. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious.

Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story!

So, what’s going on here?

Let’s take a look!👀

All this talk about “did they know” about Biden’s decline and all I can think about is “do the Tesla board know their head guy is publicly chewing off his own face in the Oval Office next to THIS President.”

“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (2023) is now playing on Netflix.

It’s a very good movie. You should watch it if you like to watch good movies.

After Trump embraced crypto, Coinbase gave millions to PACs backing pro-Trump candidates.

After Trump's win, they gave $1M to his inaugural and listed his meme coin.

Now, Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Coinbase.

See how this works?

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.
So Trump launched a meme coin on Friday night, just days before becoming President, and entities he controls retain 80% of the coin. And the coin passed a $9 billion market cap in just hours.

I just can't...

It turns out it is @mrjamesob.bsky.social on LBC (10-1 weekdays) who *actually* represents The Will Of The People.
This is sort of fascinating because if you were to turn on pretty much any talk radio station or pick up any tabloid, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the inverse.
