Has anyone tried the Konami Code on the Epstein files? Just covering our bases at this point.

New: We obtained thousands of internal chat messages from the ICE team creating viral videos of raids and "EPIC takedowns." A scramble to satisfy the White House and "feed the beast" spawned a new "propaganda" machine, current and former officials told us. "It's a war!" wapo.st/4s6YnC5

I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:

The more I think about it, I look back at my J school training as a very double edged sword. Learned a lot from very humble people, learned to lead. But in many insidious ways it funnels you towards an establishment-friendly voice and settling for the first draft.

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

It's at iCloud, it's at Mega, it's at the Internet Archive, it's at the combination Pizza Hut Taco Bell

we're all sharing a CBS News segment about prison camps like it's a pirated copy of The Sims. Good job, Bari.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Baby journos, if an editor ever messages you like this and you don't want to end up as the most insufferable "I'm a liberal BUT" writer, run like hell.

Nothing to add besides wow, what a tragedy, and right before the holidays. Unclear if he was the driver or passenger, but I don't recommend reading the details if squeamish.

Flying to ma and pa's for Christmas tomorrow. What games should I install on my Steam Deck and then never touch while I cry over photos of my cats instead?

Actually managed to finish a book this year, and despite the psychic damage of learning about various private equity cabals, this was truly an astounding read. Bravo @greenwell.bsky.social.

There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk! But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.

"To run a story on this subject two months later, we need to do more," says the woman birthed from the school of "I'm a liberal, BUT" columns.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

At this point, I think bay area folks are legally allowed to strap PG&E execs to a Waymo and drive straight into the Pacific.

I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL

The canary in the coal mine has been plugged into a guitar amp.

Oh so it's a problem when Olivia Nuzzi does it, huh?! (I finally got around to watching Superman, which was totes charming)

Merry Christmas from PG&E, go fuck yourself.

Pam Bondi releases files with the same careful attention to detail I take for a press release about an early access PvP looter shooter powered by the blockchain.

If you're in line to see the Epstein files, STAY IN LINE

The respectable and reasonable decision.

Zohran Mamdani scares the ADL more than these guys and I think it's fair to ask why

Working from the soul family's house today while apartment is fumigated for bugs. Can you tell the cats are upset?

Jabber wants you to know he ate a crumb of bacon today.

Maybe this is dull take, but it's crazy that we take pharmacists - one of the world's most important professions and liable to kill you if done wrong - and stick them in the windowless back room of a strip mall CVS.

Counterpoint: We gotta have more games titled like niche book covers. "RV There Yet: Or 'How I Finally Came to Understand Why My Dad Hated Family Vacations'"

Congratulations to President Kennedy. They say this partnership really blew him away.

Time to crack open America's strategic reserve of truck nuts.

Oh hey, cool thing: I'm working on No Rest for the Wicked and they just dropped a ton of details about the new co-op multiplayer update coming next month. Hit me up if you're media. youtu.be/ayIqY6Sszcw?...

I really enjoyed The Knightling! Big PS2 adventure vibes! Story ultimately fell quite flat for me but I stuck with it to the end, which is more than I can say for some games in 2025.

Brains born from post-campaign reports with lots and lots of "key learnings" that could be summed up as "you suck at your job and it made everyone else's job harder" revised to read "room for growth!"

I'm receiving word that Trump is asking if we could "pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now wish right now wish right now. Back to you, Bob."

Those Blair Witch kids have it rough. Imagine having to hang out with Marco Rubio.

Might be time for my annual eye doc visit. I read this as Harvey Smith's perfect son Cole and was like "awww, Harvey Smith seems like a nice guy. Bet he's a good dad."

They'll ask you to move across the country for a pittance. They'll work you til you develop a condition equally born from acid reflux and anxiety. They'll lay you off when you only make one billion dollars instead of two, and then they'll give this guy more money than you'll ever make in your life.

Bringing over the most obtuse video games I will guilt everyone into playing. Christmas 2016 was a parade of VR motion sickness.

Routine, Act 1

Occurs to me that the CAT tool is such a smart horror gameplay mechanic because, using the scant 2 seconds you get before you're dead, you're nervously aiming your 5-frames-per-second "gun" at the bot's chest and the focus distance is drastically impacted, further shrouding it in mystery.

If you want an interesting (non-scientific) snapshot of where the industry is at, check your total number of games played on Steam vs the median user.

For no particular reason, sharing some old voxel art I made a few years ago when I was experimenting with MagicaVoxel. Super basic stuff if you know what MV is capable of, but man seeing it rendered and knowing it's all my handiwork feels great. Anyway, fuck AI.

Just refrained from buying an Armored Core model kit even though it was 30% off. We shall overcome.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
