The Board of Peace event played a truly wild video by FIFA advertising a plan to build football infrastructure in Palestine. The video is clearly AI generated because they mis-spelled "Peace" with what I believe is a fully new letter combining "Y" and "L," neither of which appear in the word "Peace"

Some pretty wild music choices at the Board of Peace meeting

are there any tech and/or culture journalists that are interested in the vtubing and virtual idol space that are located in LA? if so please dm or email me. would love to get in touch concerning an upcoming event.

that's better

To slightly spoil Kinda Anime this Friday, it’s insane to me that people try and convince themselves that One Piece is not political

Today, while driving my wife to work, I ended staring at her face because she's so beautiful. And then almost rear ended the Polo in front of me.

hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

I scrolled through a week of Musk's X feed. I needed to find a specific post for work. I thought it would just be irritating. I have seen reams of the nastiest, most spiteful, most dishonest, upsetting bullshit. I'm left feeling this deep sense of horror. I feel like crying.

Like most normal people, I have never listened to a full Trump speech because he's so incoherent, rude and disgusting; but it's only because of @michaelspicer.bsky.social that I see the extent of how incoherent and bizarre Trump is. That McDonald's speech, makes absolutely no sense.

Hey Larian devs: if you all say, "NO WE'RE NOT" at the same time, he can't fire all of you.

george w. bush, in my opinion, is never getting enough heat for the damage he's done to this country, to the world, to my mental health, to education, to grammar, to texas, to shoes as a useful weapon, to reading as a hobby, to the honor of C- students, to painting as a concept, to

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

See what my friends are doing. @thatnomadshad.bsky.social youtu.be/yHYNjvXYYig?...

For every good and/or revolutionary Call of Duty game released, it's followed by a year or two of lacklustre entries. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is one of the latter. Here's our Blops7 review, covering all game modes.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Listening to latest Triple Click Podcast (pca.st/podcast/d7e7...) and pleasantly surprised to hear @midimyers.com talk about Thabo Bester. Always cool to hear South African stories... Even if it's about prison break\con artist\murder guy. Thanks Maddy😄

I cannot get over US Republicans / Fox News losing their minds over an escalator.

A former DOJ staffer said the department is “broken.” trib.al/DQUOZsv

I'm hiring for an Associate Community Manager (Contract) for @ruckus-games.com ! This is an entry level position, especially great for streamers/content creators looking for the opportunity to break into the industry. bit.ly/48vLiuw #gamedevjob #indiegame #streamer

I tell people my favorite song is Time After Time but my real favorite song is The Wii Shop Channel theme. You can hear this tweet.

Errr

When I get review code, unless explicitly allowed by the publisher, I don't even mention I'm reviewing a game. When one person screws up, us freelancers are the ones who lose out the most because publishers/PR people get jittery. For the love of god, just keep mum until publication.

It's almost like constantly firing and ending careers of talented critics, who are thus unable to foster longterm collegiality, mentorship and support, leads to bad situations that could undermine the entire industry?? But I'm not a smart business genius suit man, so what do I know?

It’s a miracle at all that any game gets made but THIS GAME it’s even more so because of my problem with it

I’ve had coffee with Ilhan Omar, and this may come as little surprise, but she is a way more pleasant and compassionate human being than a mountain of evidence would suggest Donald Trump is.

We're shortstaffed on RPS and need some rad PC-minded freelancers for urgent review work. Specifically: - Borderlands 4 (yes I know it's out already) - Dying Light: The Beast - Silent Hill f Standard rate is £200 GBP per review, make yourselves known at [email protected]

The Gulf states pledge to activate the joint defence pact as Arab and Islamic leaders stand in solidarity with Qatar.

We could have had Star Trek but instead we picked Mad Max. Well, I call dibs on the hockey mask and assless chaps.

FINALLY.

Ziff Davis just reported their "strongest quarterly revenue growth since 2021," up 9.8% to $352.2M, with gaming and entertainment up 7.5% YOY. So why were 8 of our members and 23 members of @zdcreatorsguild.bsky.social just laid off? bit.ly/3H0Osvb

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Just looked up some Battlefield 6 beta gameplay running on Series S out of interest, and EXCUSE ME, how the hell is it looking and running like this on an XSS? Vid I found: youtu.be/t1NP_MhOi84

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition. Please take a moment to read and share our full statement:

Israeli forces kill 12 Palestinian civilians seeking aid hours after US envoy Steve Witkoff visits Gaza.

live action catbus looking pretty sweet

Obscure Disney you say?

I remember growing up thinking who were all these people that were quiet and complicit through the Nazi Holocaust? I hadn't met people like that. People were different here and now, surely. And yeah, totally wrong, turns out it's just the same assholes that ignore everything else

This is the horrific reality of genocide: a newborn baby in Gaza suffering from a skin infection due to extreme heat, lack of hygiene, and neglect, crying out in pain.

“If all this was happening why didn’t anybody say anything all this time” Because it’s made clear to us that our invitation is conditional. And the second you are disagree, push back in any way or are “difficult” your invitation is rescinded. You can apply the above to a myriad of situations.

i posted this more than a year ago because it was obvious by then that israel was trying to starve gaza, & i knew there would come a time in the future when a bunch of people who know better would pretend to suddenly find out about it

Had the Christian O'Connoll show on the radio during morning commute - the news section claimed the protestors were "Anti-Israel extremists" and I don't think I can listen to that shit again, ever. Take a look at those "extremists" below:

"Let Gaza live"
