the story about Goldman is how he rode in on this white horse prosecute the thugs bullshit and managed to alienate everyone who should be on his side. must be a huge piece of shit personally.

I'll be presenting at Super MAGFest 2026 with @lainenooney.bsky.social and @kendraserra.bsky.social about what's new in the field of game history! Come with your loaded questions for this gathering of stone-cold experts in history, preservation, and copyright builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/m...

wow apparently it's """"""""unacceptable"""""""" to say "I'm always a slut for maple bars" in a professional context

Listening to men hype each other up at the gym and one guy just told another guy that he'll lift heavier if he imagines flexing like he would if someone had a gun pointed at his gf's head 🥴🫨🫠

It's our last episode of the year and we're talking Netflix-WB acquisition, The Game Awards, and we'll discover what film @superjoost.bsky.social thought had won the most academy awards (I nearly laughed myself out of my chair)

2026 is gonna be my year

We don't get a lot of data about the gender breakdown of specific games, so I wanted to graph the ratio of female to male players for games released on Sega Channel. The data is from a document acquired by the Video Game History Foundation: archive.gamehistory.org/item/0bb0d61...

As part of our project to preserve the history of Sega Channel, we have recovered OVER 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including the legendary lost game Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels. Read more: gamehistory.org/segachannel/

@lainenooney.bsky.social Reminded me of some of your recent conversations of re: sportswatching on your podcast.

Literal feels in this episode: a special guest appears out of frame to lotion joost's hands in this episode 💦 But that's not all: join us for an extended moratorium on this semester's classes!

I've just sent the following email to the editors of The Journal of Comparative Law:

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

Love how the term "indie" is used to describe both a single guy making a videogame inbetween their retail overtime shifts, and also a team of former AAA developers with family connections to obscene wealth

new game release: Rainbows Are Carnivores is an experimental gay fishing romance / aquaculture management sim. Free, 10-20 min, play in mobile or desktop browser radiatoryang.itch.io/rainbows

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

Snapfish had a deal where you could get unlimited 4x6 prints for 1¢ each. I did the responsible thing and ordered 200 pictures of Quan Chi See me at MAGFest next month if you would like a picture of Quan Chi

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

when I'm typing a message but then I see you started typing a message

Democrats flipped 25 state legislative seats this year—more than a 1/5 of all GOP-held seats that were up for election. Republicans flipped *zero* seats. @taniel.bsky.social’s year-end statehouse analyses are always must-reads: boltsmag.org/legislative-...

This would be the end of any premise that US orgs can continue to host "international" conferences on US soil

Iran and Egypt have complained to FIFA over Seattle’s plans to promote LGTBQ+ support during a World Cup match this June.

NEW VIDEO: I end the year by taking a quick look at all my weird gamepads. It takes a while because there's a lot of them. youtu.be/dRyPY4T8NTc

“AI models not only point some users to false sources but also cause problems for researchers and librarians, who end up wasting their time looking for requested nonexistent records…”

“The Daily Nebraskan found in the leaked spreadsheet that every program eliminated appeared to be profitable…every program that the chancellor proposed eliminating generated more money from tuition dollars than the department costs to run”

A gift of critical thinking from a trusted voice 🙏

uuuuhhhh

Never leave your house. Engage in no experience of community or locality. Screw your eyeballs to the advertising slop pump. My son read Grapes of Wrath in 5 flash cards. We can territorialize your every waking moment.

Lol our producer has been inserting memes into our podcast videos and I love it. This week's episode is fun! We talk talk Rockstar delays and union busting, plus our thoughts about the upcoming game awards. Tune in! youtu.be/DEtOA45bxj8?...

A new report on dietary findings in a select area of Pompeii likely inhabited by enslaved people came out in Scavi di Pompei. Many newspapers are now running w/a headline about Roman slaves “eating better” than free Romans. pompeiisites.org/e-journal-de... Let’s discuss why this is problematic

The news is a torrent of horrors. Glee in domination and crimes against humanity. Dystopian tech and financialization. Antihuman futurism. All championed by sociopaths and raw id. We should be calling for humanistic moral revival, whether religious or secular.

Nothing taught me more about digital education culture in America than watching my entire class of 50 20-year-olds try and use a stapler yesterday, you'd think I'd asked them to crank a printing press

Remember that episode of 30 Rock where they make up a fake award to give Tracy Jordan? FIFA sure does.

Neverpo.st interviewed Drew Lyton about building his own “cloud” server in his living room and thinking… there must be a better way. At DWebYVR we have a saying: “self-hosting is selfish.”. By the end Drew argues “the future is community-hosted”: we need a public-service cloud, a people-owned cloud.

Hi friends! I need advice: a dear friend and art critic is asking me for advice on where to digitize some material (see pics). 4 reels of what we think is 16mm film. It's believed to be an unfinished documentary that is part of an unplaced archive. They'll pay! Just want to know where to go

"the Rockettes give chive guy" is the most internet brain thought I've had in awhile

We need your help. Because 404 Media uses Ghost (a privacy-forward stack) we don't know much about our readers. Do they find us through articles, or podcasts? Are readers on Bluesky, Mastodon, both? Please fill this out to help us grow sustainably, it takes 1 min! www.404media.co/please-pleas...

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

CONFIRMED: Oxford University Press has named ‘rage bait’ as the Oxford Word of the Year 2025. #OxfordWOTY

Marc surrounded himself with only people who kissed his ass and praised him for taking crazy risks, and now he views literally any suggestion that people merely think through the consequences of their actions, even from *the Pope*, as an affront to his entire concept of self.

We as a country must dedicate our entire national energy to making sure that Ryan Murphy does not make a mini series about Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza.

America makes a holiday so bad the King Arthur flour company has a "survival guide" for it

I'm excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.
