It's the latest big company to back away from its diversity pledges to keep the U.S. government happy.

From Aloy to Tiny Tina, Horizon Zero Dawn star Ashly Burch breaks down all her iconic roles in video games.

For this piece, @drewgmackie.bsky.social requested documents from the Capcom v. Data East lawsuit from the National Archives in the US... and donated his copies to our library! Thanks Drew! archive.gamehistory.org/item/937b31e...

Nintendo: Okay, you ready to film this thing? Ad Guy: *snorts cocaine* ..... yep.

In honor of his 75th birthday today, here's Stevie Wonder in 1973 performing Superstition on "Sesame Street" #television #nostalgia #vintage #popculture #musicsky #PBS #sesamestreet #1970s #steviewonder

It’s publication day for LAWLESS by @leahlitman.bsky.social! A book so good I just had to blurb it. Buy it here: bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...

Uh oh this is ripe for an @edzitron.com episode!

Console Wars: The Card Game is about exactly what you think it's about! Here's a look at the tabletop game that lets you become a player in the video game industry:

This isn’t particularly great criticism, but it’s worth thinking about.

I really don't have any words about this story. It's just so deeply upsetting. Fuck the women who decided to police the bathroom and fuck the guard for doing this.

Residents of Oakdale, California, have turned from traditional media outlets toward a mishmash of online sources. These days, they’re often not sure what information to trust.

"Being a teenage man feels like standing in a hallway with a dozen doors, and no one telling you which to pick," as opposed to being a teenage woman, which either appears to involve the same thing or people screaming at you to pick a door, right now, and when you pick it a new person screams at you.

📆 New month = new streaming guide. Here is all of the horror coming to streaming services this month. What are you adding to your watchlist?

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

In 897, during a period of political instability, Pope Stephen VI put a predecessor, Pope Formosus, on trial, seven months after his death. Formosus’ body was exhumed, dressed in papal robes, and seated in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. A deacon was assigned to “defend” the corpse. 🧵⬇️(1/3)

My first year writing students do often enjoy it.

Fuck all of the people who voted for this.

The Department of Justice has restored two previously canceled grants supporting victims of violent crimes, including domestic violence, following a Mother Jones report on Thursday that highlighted the critical roles the programs played for survivors.

This should be a huge story

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

girl.... lmao

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

As good as the Last of Us is tonight, when it happened in the game in 2020, it resulted in the voice actress for Abby and her family being threatened over it. She received death threats threatening her newborn child. It's hard to forget how disgusting people can be sometimes.

Samus movie poster I made a bit back. One of my fave recent pieces.

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

🍾 🎉 🥳 CONGRATS to @nlanard.bsky.social + @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social, winners of this month's @sidneyhillman.bsky.social award for their excellent investigation revealing that Latino men are getting deported without due process because of innocuous tattoos.

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

Navindra Seeram, a biomedical scientist whose maple syrup research is often funded by the industry, has distorted the real-world implications of his findings, calling syrup a “hero ingredient” that could have wide-ranging health benefits, a review by The Examination and The New York Times found.

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

Some 370 autoworkers in Kokomo, Indiana, were among the first laid off because of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. But many in this formerly booming manufacturing town are optimistic about a rebound.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

My friend @kenbrosky.bsky.social who lives and teaches in Wisconsin, made a film about the dismantling of the community colleges (by state GOP) there, mostly affecting rural areas. This is well worth your time, and possibly a test case for other states. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GIc...
