FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST LET US HAVE A FEW MOMENTS OF HOPE Do y’all not understand how hope is active? How it is motivating? How it drives people to fight? If you try to stamp out every last ray of hope and every good moment and every tiny bit of happiness you have truly doomed us all.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Happy #FanArtFriday! We're putting together a huge blog post with art you submitted for our 25th anniversary celebration, but in the mean time, please enjoy these wonderful works by our very kind and creative fans! Credits: #1 - SmugCuddz #2 - lenonwayne #3 - ooliecat #4 - hemmerboxes

Not to excuse Disney's actions -- which are an unconscionable capitulation and an abandonment of first amendment principles -- but I think people just genuinely do not understand how much power affiliates wield in the broadcast TV game. Still! To this day!

Also - writing letters and calling the advertisers who support Sinclair/NEXSTAR makes a huge difference. I assure you, you can have an impact.

I was waffling on renewing my annual pass at Disneyland this year. Now it's an easy call. Guess we'll skip the $5K-10K we spend annually at the parks including Magic Keys for the family, hotels, merch, etc. We'll take a nice vacation next year instead. Somewhere with free speech~

Seeing a lot of "Canceling your Disney+ subscriptions doesn't really matter much" and... I mean... people are TRYING to do something. Why are you discouraging them?

Oh. Oh. That's must-see TV, I reckon.

I made a donation to PBS tonight. It wasn't huge, but it was something. We can be helpful, even when things feel hopeless.

Fallon and Meyers and Oliver and Stewart should be falling over themselves to get yanked off the air at this point, as a matter of principle/to make a louder statement about what's happening to people who haven't been paying attention

Ah. There it is.

Cheech Marin's museum legitimizes Chicano art and boosts the local economy

Lighthouse of the Week: Ep. 8 Seven Foot Knoll Light was built in 1855, then relocated in 1988 and converted into a museum. Historians say it was carefully transported, but we believe it simply *walked* from Seven Foot Knoll to its current home at Inner Boston Harbor... It has 9 legs. 🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵

Rolling Stone needs Alan Sepinwall quite a bit more than Alan Sepinwall needs Rolling Stone, but FFS

There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

Traditional media is so ill-prepared when anything internet culture/meme related hits headlines and tbh they've had 30+ years to prioritize having people on staff who get it. It's embarrassing at this point to see them fumble around in the dark and speculate because they're unwilling to evolve.

Shiny happy video game nerds after today's Nintendo Direct:

So @darthbluesky.bsky.social was kind enough to repost me, but I figured I'd show y'all my little craft project, too~ I had these little 3D printed frames and didn't know what to do with them, and saw a little 6" plastic skeleton I had leftover in a box! So I decided to make this for spooky season~

It looks like an iPhone with a bad spray tan

Regular reminder that I am looking for work! I'm a writer and editor with many talents: crafting brand and product copy, digging down into data and using it to tell a story, reporting and reviewing for games and tech media, whipping up website and social copy, editing for clarity and content, etc.!

The iPhone Air is nice, but also clearly an in-between step to a foldable device~

"Just submit!"

Having to wake up before everyone else in order to get a workout in SUCKS, in case you were curious

This video (though terrible) is not BREAKING - it's from months ago - and this person is spreading misinformation at a very dangerous time for kicks and clicks. Block them.

Some of the most moving moments I've ever experienced in media are found in games, so I'm having a hard time agreeing that Life is Strange is "just a game."

Noooooooo :(

"A few contractors" bsffr

This is great news Sesame Street is the last remnant of the idea that television could educate and uplift kids and instruct them on how to be decent citizens and make them feel understood rather than persecuted It needs to be where everyone can see it

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

soon games will simply be categorized by endless screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

I got laid off from Firaxis today. I helped ship Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC and Civilization VII, and would love to talk to you about mid level Producer roles.

Educated critics matter!

Lighthouse of the Week: Ep. 6 Thridrangaviti Lighthouse is one of the most isolated lighthouses on Earth, and was originally built by hand. Look up how expert climbers made this incredible structure possible, it's fascinating stuff! It has 0 legs, unless you count the huge rock pillar as a leg.
