It's wild how 70% of the stories on the Microsoft game studio layoffs and carnage don't think it's worth noting that the company went on a studio acquisition spree three years ago that involved lying constantly about the vast benefits of mindless consolidation just not useful context, apparently

Game journalism is dying thanks to capitalist ghouls but damn are game journalists gunna look hot as fuck trying to fight back. Go subscribe to @aftermath.site to support hot gamer journalists.

I would suggest a national program of public toilet installations, everyone bearing his name in gold plastic letters.

I mean these AI companies stole from EVERYONE and have contempt for EVERYONE, would it be too much to ask Apple to rip open the can lid and be just the first in the feeding frenzy?

Palm Springs was released on this day in 2020 🌴

I'm surprised there's anyone left with the competence to notice.

Reiterating my theory that the company WILL be firing basically everyone and her job is to pretend to care, do the firings, get screamed at, apologize, and leave to go do it at another company.

Releasing and monitoring prisoners early is one thing. But rapists, murderers and child abusers? They are the last people who should be out early, even if the tagging system were reliable.

I'm deeply geeked for the new Ghost in the Shellllllllllllllllllllll

Companies associated with Trump's sons have received $1 billion and counting in government contracts since he returned to office. We've never seen anything like this coming out of the White House. 📸: @ms.now @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

Great crikey but this really is a fine poster. No matter how many times I see it, the joy of it never diminishes. But then, Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli’s masterwork “Kiki's Delivery Service” deserves no less.

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.

Quietly one of the best runs of all time. His consistency works against him. He - they, not leaving Chris out - are always there, always surprising, stylish in ways you never expect, never made a bad record, the list of hits is astonishing, & they're literate & funny. How many musicians are funny?

Same goes for Farage - gussied up for the public by reality (LOL) TV

I will not be shedding any tears over Ann Widdecombe. Foul, in every which way. Paul O'Grady summed her up beautifully, think it was about 15 years ago when he was promoting one of his autobiographies.

Sad to think this was ground zero for ten years of dudes being insanely and obsessively shitty to women just existing in “guy movies” in a significant capacity. I’m not even a big fan of this movie, but its legacy shouldn’t be THAT. God, this past decade has sucked.

the "progressive policy institute" cited by the Atlantic (unchallenged) claims to be a "center left" pro-competition think tank, but they're covertly funded by a lot of shitty companies (like AT&T) and routinely argue against stuff like corporate oversight or community-owned broadband

40 years on, Michael Mann’s pulsating, cutting-edge MANHUNTER: THE FINAL CUT returns to cinemas in a brand new breathtaking 4K restoration supervised by Michael Mann. Coming to the US on July 24th and the UK on Sept. 25th, with further international releases this fall.

It’s Malazan Friday! ⚔️🔥 Today we are delighted to share the insane cover artwork for Toll the Hounds, book 8 of The Malazan Book of the Fallen Series. Artwork by @penglu_art ! Thank you to the Malazan readers who assisted us with this cover art, too.

NEW Posthumous pardons in England are less about forgiving the offender and their crime, but about the state trying to forgive itself for horrific mistakes. Pardons should be for the living too. By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Everything trump touches DIES.

Absolutely, definitely, not “the Establishment”…

Badenoch really is a catastrophe for this country. She is a barrier to deradicalisation on the right, because she works daily to make the centre-right position as extreme and irrational as possible. I wish Cleverly had won that election.

🔴 NEW: How Jordan Peterson Is Importing Australia’s Racist Politics Into Britain The same organisation shaping Reform UK’s rise, is steering a potential far-right coalition down under, reports Lucy Hamilton Read the full story below.

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

And this, people, is why we have media studies. And may be why it has fallen out of favour by some.

In UK cinemas from today - this bad-taste acidic riposte to the Teorema and Saltburn school of families gone bad shows one such unit rotting from within. Elle Fanning is the standout, in ROSEBUSH PRUNING.

#R4Today spent this morning warmly eulogising Ann Widdecombe. Almost none of what they said was wrong. Almost none of it was complete. Here's what they left out. 🧵

Apartheid ended in 1994, but its germ escaped in the fractured psyche of several boys who hated the world around them almost as much as they hated themselves. I took a deep look at how the PayPal Mafia reanimated apartheid—and what they really want. www.mind-war.com/p/swart-geva...

Guys, I had a 40 minute BATTLE with my new Hi-Sense TV last night to try turn off motion smoothing and I'm sharing here as a public service.

"Someone has to speak up for the voiceless—like the unborn, or brain-dead former majority leaders. It’s the only way to defend the sanctity of life, which begins at conception and ends after the cutoff for a special election has passed."

Would you like to all hear the most absurd and bizarre and possibly ridiculous health update? So. For almost two years now I have been developing a reaction to all but a couple foods. One spot in the back of my mouth itched like CRAZY, and sometimes it would cause a spasm.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it. (also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary) youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.
