This is the energy we need on reporting today's news. @nathangrayson.bsky.social know's what's up. aftermath.site/warner-bros-...

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

It’s a bit of kremlinology that a lot of the government is putting MDNI in their bio (Musks Do Not Interact)

There's a "because it was in the training data" tag needed for many many many AI press releases that feels functionally similar to adding "in mice" to mainstream reporting of a lot of early stage medical research.

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

Yall, please throw a few bucks towards Romchip. It’s so rare to see solid scholarly journals about the history and social impact of video games, they do genuinely good work and I want to be able to cite them in future work.

I genuinely think it's a duty for people my age and older who were there for the early Internet to tell younger people that the Internet they know didn't emerge organically and it doesn't intrinsically have to be this way. Alec does a good job outlining the cultural differences and what we've lost.

a sad special one this year for HM’s annual Twin Peaks Day beer :(

you know this is sincere animosity because egging something is a significant expense these days

My kingdom for a horse! ... oh, that's a Subaru. (Although, if I'm gonna pick a Richard III quotation for this administration, it'll be "and thus I clothe my naked villainy with odd old ends stolen out of holy writ, and seem a saint when most I play the devil.")

Me: "Can we stop and get Steel Battalion?" Mom: "We have Steel Battalion at home." Steel Battalion at home:

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Terry Pratchett had this one nailed in Feet of Clay we don’t do kings here

Soundtrack for the day.

Hey, someone has to hype up the crowd for 45 mins before P Diddy comes out

Bastardizing Baudrillard here, but America deserved to die but not like this

LRG went to shit almost instantly after being acquired by Embracer Group. Avoid them. (TLDR: They cut corners by using 3.3V parts without level shifting to match the NES’s 5V CPU, so it ends up pulling excessive current on the address/data lines and may end up burning out the CPU/PPU over time.)

we are rapidly careening towards "paradox of toil" scenarios, the more federal workers lose their jobs, the more the private sector also lays off people bsky.app/profile/fain...

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

"Project 2025 approved SSA administrator steps down just 3 weeks into the administration, giving up a GS-15 career in the process, because she knew even one more week on the job would risk putting her in prison for decades" is a very good and comforting sign (Musk's touching the stove)

Been working on this for a while. Here's my retrospective documenting the Like A Dragon's tumultuous root becoming one of Sega's biggest franchises. From infamous English language dubs, to stripped back ports, to zombies. I touch on a bit of everything. www.restart.run/articles/lik...

Excuse me???

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

It's an absurd number and worse when you remember that they absolutely devoured the entire field of VR development six years ago. If you were in VR at that time, you were getting bought out by Meta. Developers told me they made themselves the only game in town

Butterfinger Buzz (2009-2009): This limited edition Butterfinger bar was infused with caffeine. An entire king size package contained as much caffeine as an 8oz can of Red Bull.

This might come across as more than a little blunt, but please bare with me. A lot of people completely dismiss or even hate indie games and what's being unsaid here is they want is something mainstream from major studios with advertising and popular enough that the zeitgeist allows them to play it.

FYI, Amazon will no longer enable the downloading of ebooks to exterior devices starting February 26th. Here’s a tutorial on how to download your ebooks off of Amazon. You can use Calibre (free software) to reformat the kindle books to be used on other devices. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2DQuRqn/

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime. This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today. aresluna.org/the-hardest-...

The best thread today.
