They can't even bother to pretend they're doing something (other than getting paid while TSA is not).

An incredible non-answer from Grammarly's CEO when asked why he thinks it's acceptable to steal from writers and editors.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

If you're looking for a free movie streamer, see if your local library does @kanopy.com. They've currently got The Zone of Interest, Minority Report, I Saw the TV Glow, The Conversation, the original Indian Jones movies, etc. Also rare older stuff like Trace of Stones (1966). Kanopy is neat.

Buzzfeed cannot go bankrupt fast enough.

Google is now screwing with the 10 blue links in traditional search and rewriting headlines - including ours - to be the worst kind of slop. This sucks so bad www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

CBS News employees received the following message from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski informing them that massive layoffs are taking place.

Monday: Nvidia announces game ruining AI filters Tuesday: Street Fighter 6 Incest DLC Thursday: Whatever this is Weird week for video games, man.

Hello I am caught up on the Alex drama from Street Fighter 6 and I just want to say I will now be resetting my brain to 48 hours ago. Please let me forget this.

I’ve only seen the first 3 eps of #DaredevilBornAgain season 2, but I’ll say this …. There’s some very obvious stand-in for ICE, and it’s incredibly enjoyable to see Matt absolutely wreck their asses. Just kick the ever living shit out of them. It’s more than cathartic, it made me mentally horny.

this morning anya taylor-joy was hit with a question that has never been asked before in the history of the universe

This is an amazing clip. Everyone in the room knows that email is complete BS designed to trick Trump's supporters into donating. But obviously none of the Trump administration officials can actually *say that* so they all just leave open the possibility that he's selling national security secrets.

Brand New Day looks great, but I do love that they called it Brand New Day as a smokescreen to cover up the other controversial story the film is adapting. Anyways, I always thought The Other was...fine. Maybe not a modern classic, but some cool ideas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwVA...

Someday I gotta write my essay about how every single Spider-Man movie EXCEPT Raimi's Spider-Man 3 has ignored the most crucial truth of Peter Parker, as encoded in the character's DNA by Ditko and Lee in 1962: Peter isn't naturally a sweet little guy; his tendency has to be toward selfish prickery!

Not gonna lie, I'm disappointed to see Digital Foundry shilling for DLSS 5 and calling it an improvement in that video when everything looks markedly worse. Just a spectacular disconnect between the reporting and what's actually on screen.

Curious what it's going to take for the President's Mental Condition to start leading every news outlet every day, because it seems like it really should

I cannot say this emphatically enough: Gnosia fucking rules. You need to check it out.

With the Buffy reboot axed and Firefly trying an animated reboot, now feels like a good time to remind you that Buffy also tried to do an animated reboot in 2002 with most of the original cast returning, but no studio would buy it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnUv...

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Not sure how I missed this earlier in the week, but damn, she's a beaut. Frank Quitely draws costumes like nobody else.

Season 2 of The Pitt isn't hitting as hard as Season 1, but hell, what was going to? Rocky start for me at least, but it's gotten progressively better as it goes on. Still a weekly must-watch, really excited to see how it can break my heart next week.

Two lost episodes of Doctor Who, from The Daleks’ Master Plan, have been found and given to the BBC!!!!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was a good stream right up until Twitch decided to completely crash.

LIVE NOW

Having one of those moments where I'm just minding my own business when the wave is exhaustion and uncertainty hits and I find myself questioning every decision I've ever made. Anyways, stream soon.

Crazy that they just shadow dropped Bravely Default on Steam??? store.steampowered.com/app/2833580/... Might grab this. I played a ton on 3DS back in the day, but never finished it. Genuinely charming turn-based RPG, lots of whimsy, highly recommend.

As someone who loved VideoGamer & who also had their work sold to ClickOut at another site, I sincerely hope every fucking outlet that scum factory bought gets delisted. Burn their empire of vile garbage to the ground.

Tonight! Return to...CHRISTLEVANIA! I'm diving back into Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to wrap up the main castle, put Richter in his place, and make our way to the Inverted Castle. Twitch! Youtube! @crowdcontrol.live! 8 PM! youtube.com/live/y_ZJh-_... www.twitch.tv/jcbaggee

Very excited for all the forced hot takes about how "Highguard was great and the problem was the players and bla bla bla bla bla bla" from people who never launched the game.

Next week they'll be hosting a ladder safety seminar conducted by the WWE.

Man, it's going to really help my budget when I completely drop Marvel Legends and G.I. Joe Classified.

The Great Gatsby was one of over 1300 books provided to World War II soldiers. It was popular with them that they bought copies of the book when they got home. This led to a surge in popularity for the novel, despite it not reviewing well when it initially released. It's not a hard book to read.

Capcom, riding high on a huge winning streak, decides to shoot itself in the foot at the 11th hour. Typical.

When I started pushing that I would be focusing on fiction this year, I dropped every hint of wishy washy language and just put "Christopher Baggett is a writer" in every bio. Very, very freeing, can't recommend it enough.

I cannot stress enough how worrying it is that studios are now releasing music videos where an AI "actor" is singing about how human she is, actually.

The infinite money generator machine no longer generating infinite money is either an apocalyptic omen or a sign that the industry is healing.

What the fuck

I'm begging Nintendo for Werner Herzog as Wario. It wouldn't even be weird at this point.

Whoever is casting these Mario movies deserves one hell of a pay bump.

lmao Sony changed it. Did someone fuck up and spoil a reveal, or is it a new character and the writer made an assumption?

Sigh.

Make a bad game? Laid off. Make a good game that doesn’t sell? Laid off. Make a great game that rehabilitates a series and sells great? Laid off. I’m starting to identify a problem with this flowchart.

After all the hype for Belmont's Curse, it is pretty hilarious to see Sony just casually confirm, as an aside at the bottom of its greatest heroines article, that, yeah, the player character is Sonia Belmont. www.playstation.com/en-us/editor...

Getting easier and easier to completely abandon Hasbro products every day...

I don't know this scooper but I mean...yeah? Have you not been paying attention? That's how much consoles cost now. It's not going to get better until something cataclysmic (think the PS3 price failure which led Sony to restructure the console for two generations) forces it to get better.
