Until SpaceX is gone I think we need to say "this ain't brain surgery" instead of "rocket science" given the current state of rocket scie- hold on I'm getting a memo about something called Neuralink

That win, and those remarkable speeches, will infuriate the worst people in this country and the world. Good. #NoOtherLand

No Other Land Co-Director Yuval Abraham: "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."

i went to the unwinnable subscribers discord and nobody knew u

heehee

unwinnable was the first site to commission me when i started freelancing internationally back in 2017, and years later i had the honor of having a column for a while. i refer people who pitch spine to them all the time. you should support the great work they do in any available capacity

Going to make it a bit more of a habit to put our name out there, so hi, we're Unwinnable! We're going on 15 years of reader-funded, independent pop culture criticism. Since we mainly get our money from subscriptions and one thought-out sponsorship, our writers can say what they want to say.

fine now rerelease the holiday 1999 crazy stripe sweater nymag.com/strategist/a...

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Remember when Gordon Parks Jr. & Melvin Van Peebles made movies that helped save the business of movies? We need to do it again, but with games. Black game devs are very underrepresented & devs need proper investment to make our small, fun, genre defining titles. Not doing it may be catastrophic.

Wired magazine has done an exceptional job as journalists covering these digital crimes & destructive behaviors by the administration’s lackeys. They’re offering an annual subscription of digital & print for a year for $6 (not a typo); I have taken them up on it www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

your regular reminder that @unwinnable.com and its sister publication Exploits rule

my outsider perspective on US politics is that it seems like i spend 4 years getting told the democrats can't do the thing because they need just one more vote, and then the republicans get in and can do whatever they want because half of the democrats vote with them

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Never not thinking about this edo period drawing of hammerhead sharks 🥹

Anyway, happy birthday David Lynch!

Big “are we the baddies” energy out there today

My second Persona 3 Portable poem "Ode To FemC" pays homage to the game's female protagonist & the game's queer subtext. Thanks @saraclemens.com and @videoda.me for publishing it videoda.me/ode-to-femc-...

First post of the new year is @wordsfromapenn.com on Persona 3 and grief videoda.me/i-have-fough...

People of Bluesky, let’s get to know each other better: What is one of your favorite movies? Quote share your answer in a gif!

Hi, remember @critdistance.bsky.social please

what if i told you there was already a subscription based publication that homes industry vets alongside new voices writing in community together with thoughtful editors. what if i told you it's been in print for over a decade. unwinnable.com/subscribe/

Not Uvalde?

He's on fire!! @russellnichols.bsky.social on the OG NBA Jam: videoda.me/boomshakalak...

Tired: Garfield’s cranky sarcasm Wired: Jon’s grandma’s cranky sarcasm (SHE EARNED IT OK)

And it was then, when I realized I couldn't wait to fire up the Turner Classic Movie app's "Live" feature for the night, that I knew myself to be Middle-Aged

Welcome everyone! Pls ignore the lack of posts so far, we're still moving in to the new digs. In the meantime, check out the site and send in any and all pitches at your leisure. When it comes to games writing, we especially love experimental/moody/personal/poetic/weird stuff!

The amazing @samlakewrites.bsky.social will be our Legend Award winner at the 14th Annual NY Game Awards!

i don't know if there are any other outlets publishing reader funded cultural criticism every month for over a decade now but i do know we have the best covers in the business. Give the team a follow!

Want to see more from our writers and editors? We have them all in a Starter Pack now:

hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors

Hello to all the new faces coming in the past few days! We're Unwinnable, an independent pop culture writing website and magazine. We get most of our funding through subscriptions to our monthly PDF magazines: Unwinnable Monthly and Exploits.

The most exciting thing about moving to a different social media platform is forgetting who all my online friends are because I was too dumb to learn anyone’s actual name

ooo we’re in Variety, so fancy variety.com/2024/gaming/...

feeling cute so might fire up animal crossing and kill all the roaches in my house, idk (i love their little ghosts)

If we’re doing intros on here today I need y’all to follow Unwinnable: indie crit of games and everything else with gorgeous covers and layouts, writing with stakes and cultural memory, old and new voices, just doing the damn thing.
