I feel like Dungeon Crawler Carl is the millennial literary epic. All about how we try to fight to make community & meaning in an overwhelming endlessly confusing web of numerous exploitative systems & a regurgitate postmodernist world that destroys meaning & tries to set us against each other.

Last Week Tonight is on summer hiatus, so please tune in to your local news for coverage of the race for Colorado Governor

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

HAHAHAHHAA fuck yeah

Next time you hear about a sportsbook’s commitment to responsible gaming I encourage you to remember FanDuel sending a user who was down $1.5 MILLION a fun little thank-you clip of Bryce Harper wishing the guy an “extra special Thanksgiving.”

“Creators deserve credit, compensation, and consent. If that's not on the table, the crawlers can stay the fuck off Patreon," CEO Jack Conte wrote on Thursday.

Statement from GOP State Sen Barb Kirkmeyer says she's "incredibly proud" of her campaign. She declined to endorse Marx (who she has called a fraud) and added "And, for the record, I still haven’t killed anyone."

NEW: The Associated Press has called the Colorado GOP Gov primary for ministry leader Victor Marx. Here is my interview with Marx in May about his unsubstantiated claims, the number of people he's killed as a civilian, and the exorcisms he performs.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Mr. John Oliver please look at RAM prices so that parents will text their gamer sons and daughters “hey did you hear about these RAM prices” and we can all respond “yeah”

Having one of those days where it is only 11am and it feels like it is 2 in the afternoon... 🤔

This dirty racist makes me sick. This imagery tells people to target their local Chinese restaurants. Miserable hatemongering bigot.

Have been watching so much World Cup that when an ad showed up at the Hot Wing joint we frequent last night for the All-Star Game I thought "That can't be right it isn't the middle of the season yet..."

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

Bryce Harper is one of the players that is going to negotiate the CBA, this leaves a bad stink on everything.

I always love when devs call in, donate or are there in person too. I would take one hundred "Games Done Quick"-s over a single Summer Game Fest/Game Awards.

The @aftermath.site @kim-hu.com "Destroy AI" shirt spotted on the SGDQ stage!

I see I need to make a clearer point. Framing things this way puts the blame on the consumer - the consumer that spends hundreds of millions of dollars on subs every month - as though it is their fault for freeloading. But is it the consumer's fault that the model was built the way it was? No.

whatever this was

"I want a new Fallout from Obsidian"

Now it is impossible to become a weirdo, because it just takes time. You have to have that one customer that came in with an exact problem and put way too much time into it and learn 9 things along the way that helped 9 other customers over years, teaching you 9 other new things

I would have played any of these. 🤷‍♂️

bro they laid off the Doom 2016 developers. that's like if you laid off the studio that made arguably one of the best first-person shooters of all time, like Doom 2016

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

Hi, I have a nonfiction piece up over at Shack News that I'm a little nervous about sharing, but also really excited about letting people see.

Put it back. What are they gonna do? Lay you off?

It's becoming the case that it costs more for a business to deploy AI and fire human workers than it does to keep the human workers around. That could be an economic death knell for the whole technology. From me. prospect.org/2026/07/08/g...

I loathe the cult of the car.

Also I’m excited to share that I have several stories about the WPBL already in the works & will be actively covering the league. I started my sports career as a MLB writer & women’s baseball was the first women’s sport I covered in-depth, almost a decade ago!

WHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEE- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! #SGDQ2026

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

If I was worried about losing soccer fans to a tv channel that broadcasts in a different language, I would simply make my coverage not suck ass

Old friend...

"There’s simply no way any of us could have predicted a Nazi SS guy with his eyeballs dangling out of his sockets and the Staff of Ra broiled into his flesh like grill marks on a meat slab would be such a terrible candidate for Senate."

I'm not sure we should fight fire with fire. Doesn't that just make a bigger fire? Fight fire with socialism. Just like our entire firefighting system, for instance.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

Buck up, US fans. The women’s World Cup is less than a year away.

Absolutely dogwalked

Don’t send a man to do a woman’s job

Re: *Xbox's FIFTH round of layoffs since spending almost 70 billion on a single acquisition, today's tune of 3200 layoffs* -- I can't shake the feeling today that, while things have been fucking AWFUL for a long time, we crossed a very real invisible line. Idk when the beginning of the end was, but

a thousand ships seems low
