"It's okay that Israel, which occupies Palestine, does not give Palestinians rights, because Israel doesn't give people in the United States or Canada rights either." - The Times of Israel, unironically

I wish people would call Abdul El Sayed by his full name. Only saying Abdul doesn't make sense in Arabic and feels so weird.

Does Sony's decision to stop production of disc based games effect Blu-ray movies too since they own the Blu-ray platform? I need movies uncompressed movies 😭

I don't usually engage. But literally one of the encampment organizers is was elected to be NY-13's rep in Congress - Columbia's district. Most Americans are now pro-Palestine. You're entitled to your dumb memes & even genocidal values, but, like Trump, you're not entitled to your own facts.

keep my city's name out your mouth and go back to making statues of Tom Brady or whatever the hell you Peter Griffin ass motherfuckers do

I think the *real* question is how does this hobby of ours reach and inspire a new generation of people when PCs keep going up in price and the accessibility of a console is now out of reach? The class imbalance in gaming is egregious and its getting worse.

The biggest danger of Sony’s decision is PS store lockdown. No more competing stores means higher prices. They don’t even have a gamepass competitor yet.

Honestly I'm more concerned about all the independent game shops I fell in love with on tiktok. One shop recently opened near me.

🎥 Recalling how she was fired from her law firm after refusing to remove a letter defending pro-Palestinian student protesters, Melat Kiros said, “I didn’t flinch because I stood by every word and I always will.” She added: “I know that will not be the only moment where those in power will tell...

Melat Kiros won the Democratic primary in Colorado last night marking another success for progressives Kiros defeated a 15-term Democratic representative. As a vocal supporter of Palestine, she detailed the threats she faced as a lawyer, but committed to standing by her values in her victory speech

I understand technically disc based games aren't feasible because the read speeds are much too slow compared to modern NVME drives, but I will only buy games on GOG.

My patio door was slightly open since it's hot and my cat just came inside at 2am. I didn't know she went out.

I've got 20 years of experience in animation/games as a producer, director, social/community & marketing manager. Since coming out as a trans woman I often get "you don't have enough experience, sorry!" in response to my applications. A cis ally advocating for me would genuinely help me get work.

Melat won. This is our time. Run, canvass, volunteer, vote, get involved with your local DSA. The voters across the country have spoken, they want a change.

I may be a hanafi and shrimp being makruh makes sense, but I consume it like it's halal.

Agree I’ll add that the left is so used to losing, we stopped recognizing wins. This shift is a win. Don’t need to like her to think so.

Contrary to what some people still insist on saying, this is in fact meaningfully different from what her position was just one year ago where she tried to split the baby on the idea of "offensive" v "defensive". I happen to think this is a great evolution and this amendment adds credibility to it.

anyway i didn't realize all the xbox news was dropping today, but i did chat with some union members about how things have been going behind the scenes

Euromedievalists, assemble…? This is basically heroin for you guys right?

it me! it's out! ta-da?

The T-Mobile backlash makes me glad I use an MVNO. Phone spectrum is publicly accessible, there's no reason to be held hostage by a major carrier.

folks should be asking what staff has been doing to these to people to drive them to this as it almost certainly means many of them will be possibly killed if not locked up for the rest of their lives

Yes that’s the definition of a child, well done

All of the Pan Africans celebrating South Africa's loss is killing me

Naan has become too mainstream. We need to gatekeep rumali roti. The most luxurious of all the Indian flatbreads.

Prada revealed earlier this week that it had chosen Palestinian singer-songwriter Saint Levant, born Marwan Abdelhamid, as a brand ambassador. In a post shared by Prada, the singer is seen wearing a pendant of historic Palestine — a move that has drawn praise from fans and angered Israelis.

My cousin is at the match in Seattle and as they were exiting, Iranian and Egyptian fans were doing competing chants until someone unfurled a Palestine flag and everyone started cheering 😭♥️

Welcome to The DSA, Daisuke Jigen.

This is fun to see when one of the effects of my disability is premature aging.

“my passion is graphic design”

How the @washingtonpost.com's behavior leads to the Saudification of America. The same institution that paraded @karenattiah.bsky.social around as a beacon of press freedom fired her when speaking truth became a liability. Full episode with @rabble.nz, out now.

A much-awaited conversation with Nihal is out now! Essential listening

Every Mamdani scandal is like “he loves his mom and writes very well for a 15 year old”

Oh my God. Chip companies have shielded themselves from an AI bubble pop. Even killing AI won't save us from price hikes 😭😭😭

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Assimilate to Native American culture boomer

While I was writing this blog post spurred in part by Apple's sweeping price hikes, Xbox announced its own significant price hikes that I also wrote about and then included in this article. It's bad out there. www.theverge.com/tech/957151/...

Lol they're not even prostrating in prayer correctly

If we're making movies about things Ben Shapiro is afraid of, I'd rather see one about the dangers of wet vaginas

Is there a term for the opposite of the "pallywood" trope? Wtf is wrong with Ben Shapiro

Sunset this entire console bro

Hasan calling out Darializa for drinking coca cola and not allowing her to have it on his stream today was good and prohibiting BDS targets should be more common.

These guys did not fight 3 separate format wars just for everything to become a “code in a box”.

The trailer for Kiyoshi Kurosawa's THE SAMURAI AND THE PRISONER

this is officially the last thing i'll write about the fgc. very fitting that it's on kotaku. please check it out.

In retrospect we should have known she would win the second her opponents sent these out
