"There's much to be said about the political processes that deployed these men. But there is another important thing to be said to the men who go to work every day and don tactical vests and facemasks and act like willing gestapo agents of our idiot political leader: You guys are fucking cowards."

I think it is a mistake that one side of the company that's been run terribly gets to keep David Zaslav while the other side of the company gets nothing. They should split Zaslav into two to ensure that both new entities get continuity of leadership.

My senior cat is in the stage of his life where he is strong, healthy, alert but he must step on my dick or balls seven times on the way up to getting into my lap or on my chest.

I think when Geoff Keighley claims to love videogames, he believes it like absolutely genuinely believes it. The problem is that how he understands that passion and expresses it is the problem. It's always in favor of the corporations that pay his show and not for the people that make the games.

I bristle when I see well-meaning people on the left use words like "degenerate" and "savages" to describe the architects of the genocide in Palestine. These words are intimately & inextricably tied to authoritarian and fascist conceptualizations of the world

What irritates me most about Geoff Keighley invoking the indie game space is that it feels like a begrudging acknowledgment that he cannot paper over with his feigned enthusiasm. Not when there's a refusal to engage with why these titles are capturing so much interest.

"gen z doesn’t get to have nostalgia; gen a won’t have anything to hold onto that isnt a Statement about What Came Before. we’re past signposts and in the territory of front pages: reality is going to come down to what a handful of papers left have to say about the world. keep moving. get in line."

Ghibli films are bright and sunny in direct contrast to the dark and dismal things they depict. Not just as a function of aesthetic dichotomies, but as art that is curious and questioning about all the corners of life. Reducing it to inoffensive wholesomeness is missing the art for the vibes.

Imagine having a billion dollars lying around. You could donate it to a charity, you could use it to finance a massive creative endeavor or bankroll businesses of friends and family, start a massive art collection. Or you could be JK Rowling and fund legal harassment of a minority group. #girlboss

stoner guy in dorm room, 1990: "haha it's like .. the year numbers just keep going up, right? And we're almost at 100.. so it's like.. what then! Is that it?! Ha ha. Hey man you don't look so good, did you take too big a hit there" Francis Fukuyama: (silently holding stock-still while freaking out)

Also more reporting on the damage Elon Musk has done and the accounts of people who have worked with him, for him and hurt by him, rather than his post-DOGE plans and feelings. Stop doing PR for him!

it's pretty wild how throughout all of history nobody who has ever decided to argue that "actually a little bigotry is okay" ends up looking like one of the good guys and yet people are still lining up left and right for the opportunity to do so in the paper of record

Many shout out David Suchet for his work in Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989-2013), I shout him out for his work in 1999's Wing Commander. I am a man of culture.

There's a decent paycheck waiting for any cis writer who wants to write chin-stroking articles about trans 'issues,' but a couple of quarters and a cigarette butt for the trans writers standing on the media corner with the sign reading "Will write about my people for food."

When you're at a point where there's just no way your action game based on a world-famous billion-dollar box office super hero character can realistically be financially viable you have to ask what the games industry is doing, man.
