i’m so sorry but as a jew i fear this is the catholic version of the classic @averyedison.com post

i'd like to present my argument against digital-only

I think the one thing that really has people reeling about the 250 celebrations is that the State Fair idea was actually a REALLY GOOD IDEA. It could've been SO much. It could've been so much with minimal fucking effort. ANYONE who's been to a state fair, and even I have been to one...knows ...

🚨BIG news! Fifth Circuit says undocumented immigrants with no criminal records, specifically those who came across the border at some point long in the past, MUST be given a bond hearing within 90 days of arrest, at which the government must be able to justify continued jailing.

I think people keep trying to incorporate elements of TTRPGs in their stuff without realizing that most of the fandom for TTRPGs are people who listen to podcasts of their favorite actors doing blorbos and are way more interested in the 'fandom' thing and have minimal interest in TTRPGs.

short clip and yet so, so many questions

games have been huge success. thats why we're firing every one who makes games. also we are going to make it so players can no longer buy games

You guys, it’s not just about citation and we need to say it bluntly. It’s about money and labor and future sales and people buying something thinking it was an adapted version of a book they already knew and loved and taught. This is not just about fixing a bibliography or “credit.”

When Trevor Noah comes out swinging against Sony, you know the situation is dire.

Yes I understand all the problems but also, I would love to have a steam deck to play JRPGS in bed

It's almost like that was a really stupid idea or something

Hey you. Yeah, you reading this. I hope your July is better than your June. I hope that thing you're worried about works itself out for the best. I hope they text back. I hope you find that $20 you forgot about in a pocket right when you need it most. I just really hope things for you get better.

sorry about the wolf guy, lads

MALIK TILLMAN IS ALSO A BIRTHRIGHT CITIZEN BECAUSE HE WAS BORN OVERSEAS TO AN AMERICAN FATHER ALL HAIL JUS SANGUINIS

My collection is smallish, but it's only the bangers. Highly curated. When all other games are eaten by CEOs, I'll have all the classics to repopulate the earth!

Idaho just made it illegal for children to not conform to gender stereotypes...

This is a plot line from the 30 Rock episode when Jack holds a salute to fireworks

The death of Daveigh Chase is definitely hitting us millennials hard. I was more struck by the parallels to another Disney kid's sad demise so decided to write about it. thefilmmaven.com/daveigh-chas...

Another reminder that the gentleman who just scored that goal for USMNT is a US citizen thanks to the 14th Amendment.

We need new laws. You miss x days, x votes, incapacitated etc you forfeit your seat. Especially when you won’t implement laws that protect us from losing our jobs

PSN in 2028 when you buy a new game

Golly, what possible reason might folks be unwilling to humor Playstation switching to digital only? Hmm, what indicators of their potential digital stewardship even exist to give people pause? I feel like there's got to be something if only we could dig back a bit... Real puzzle, that one...

I know I come from a different generation thank most folks here because I've been freelancing for decades and I've had so many colleagues get full time jobs and disappear under NDA's and work piles. And when I say I miss them or I'm sad, people answer with "Oh, well, it's to be expected" rhetoric.

Well what do ya know? “Students studying religion and philosophy have the highest average rates of political tolerance. The majors with the lowest average tolerance are preprofessional ones — fashion, marketing, and real estate sit at the very bottom.”

Wait, do people not understand this!! This shit means EVERYBODY.

shutting down digital stores while announcing the plan to end physical game production

You will pay $1500 for a machine that plays a $150 game you’ll never own that was slapped together in Unreal 7 by AI slop. Any studio that attempts to make anything interesting & acclaimed will be bought and immediately liquidated.

So disheartening to see one of my longest, most experiential, hobbies become completely destroyed by capitalism & enshittifcation.

The fact they did both of these so soon after each other really does signal how little this companies give a shit any more about our opinion, instead assuming that we’re either idiots or can simply force their will on us with arguments that shit like this was “inevitable”.

“Sid Shulman, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s senior director of content communications, detailed PlayStation’s plans for physical media in a terse PlayStation Blog post. He called the end of disc-based titles a ‘natural direction’ for the brand.”

Every time you use GPS, you’re benefiting from the work of a woman most people have never heard of. Dr. Gladys West’s groundbreaking mathematical research helped make modern GPS possible, changing the way billions of people navigate the world. Her work still guides us every single day. #SheShed

THIS THREAD. I am extraordinarily fortunate not to live in financial precarity, but my classes are full of students who have to make these choices, who are told that they’re irresponsible, not just living in a world that makes everything (including education) unaffordable. It’s the economy, stupid.

This is not JUST RFK Jr.s fault. He's the final nail in the coffin. It's also useful to note several countries have lost their measles free status (UK, Canada) without RFK jr. Mexico is on a similar precipice as the US. Focusing just on RFK blinds us to the anti-vaxx landscape.

And nobody cares except us. I’m on like six unemployed black woman listservs, where everyone’s freaking out, and nobody’s like “I’m running on trying to get y’all jobs.” It’s like we’re being erased from American society.

this is so perfect

One of the saddest things I’ve written. Excellently edited and shepherded by the Bulwark team, and I’m grateful for the space to say these children’s names and write about their short lives

The crazy rules for DC's fireworks show on the National Mall seem destined to make it miserable. -No chairs, coolers, metal or glass bottles -Each visitor may bring one clear bag measuring up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches -Airport-style security checkpoints -Show starts at 10:30pm wtop.com/fourth-of-ju...

NEW: Workers say their bosses are becoming obsessed with AI and essentially turning the entire workplace into an exercise in AI psychosis -- making absurd pivots, communicating only in AI slop, and even asking ChatGPT who to fire futurism.com/artificial-i...

The piece makes the good point, though, that companies (and too many schools and researchers) are rushing into embracing something they scarcely understand. Bad consequences are already here and more (and worse) will surely be incoming. Compare:

“Scholars who turn to A.I. [in] the research process — asking A.I. what questions are worth studying…; enlisting it to analyze data; relying on it to help write up findings — could inadvertently narrow the scope of their work.” haha, more like *are deliberately committing academic malpractice*

Ruling against TPS for Haitians, the Trump justices on the Supreme Court have set a new impossible standard for proving discrimination against non-whites: if there is any other reason *in addition* to the racism, the racism doesn’t count www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"We’ve locked ourselves in the stupidest possible version of Plato’s cave, where what looks like the spontaneous consensus of the hive mind is often just shadows..put there by marketers, political operatives, foreign-influence campaigns, or anyone else with a few hundred bucks and something to sell"

Wow. This is my concern. Here, we can still trace the original paper by accessing the original print copy of the journal. As more and more journals are online only and as stacks disappear, 'glitches' or retractions with 404-errors mean we lose the ability to trace and track. It just disappears.

"They can only do so much" They can impeach hundreds of times for each of the hundreds of impeachable offenses for which there is evidence. and mountains of evidence are publicly available. no need for investigations or hearings. just a few drops of patriotism in the hearts of our congressmembers

Hundreds of people in Washington, DC have had the constitutional duty and the sacred public trust to stop this perversion of our American institutions. They’ve chosen to sit, flaccid and impotent, thinking that shattering our institutions helps their ‘side’. Thinking we’ll forget.

TFW you realize that GenAI is destroying the habitats of the animals it generates videos of.

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...
