Federal election spending by the 100 wealthiest Americans is now 140x what it was in 2000. Last year they crossed $1 billion in election spending. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : As I’ve said before, there was a day before Donald Trump’s presidency and there will be a day after. And in that day after, people will see so many of the decisions that individuals and organizations made…

Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!' It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions. They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1. We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

Every aspect of this regime is a fucking embarrassment and a clear cut example of failing upwards in America.

It's happening — the brilliant Silent Hill 2 Remake is finally arriving on Xbox Series X/S, and it's being released with a hefty 50% launch discount. https://bit.ly/4plNGcu

AI is the new motion smoothing

Never before have I gone from being incredibly enthralled with a fiction only to completely lose all interest in record time. From the end of GOT to the start of House of the Dragon something switched and now I could not care less about the IP.

This game has skyrocketed up my 2026 watchlist.

Erosion is a twin-stick shooter with a time traveling twist. After a private press preview with the development team, we think it looks promising: gameinformer.com/preview/2025...

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes. Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

Tides of Annihilation Gameplay Trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOJs... news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/1...

Erosion, Total Chaos and Tides of Annihilation were the standouts for me with Tides of Annihilation being just fucking bonkers.

I dig this. Favorite so far.

This game looks fucking wild.

Like the setting but I don't like the weird Destiny-like character design.

Maybe we should have strong unions again and regulate companies that use AI as human replacements.

Welp, none of the games I was after are on sale. Probably for the best.

It will be scrubbed of any and all allies to Trump. This will amount to nothing. We have a corrupt DOJ. What do you all not understand about this?

I genuinely believe that Keeper is one of the game's industry most excellent and exciting achievements of the decade. A seemingly un-pitchable game that stands strong on its core tenets of emotional connection and teaching the player to let go of preconceived game notions. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble. A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments. We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

BREAKING: Larry Summers has stepped down from the OpenAI board after Epstein emails were released this week

Wild.

Lords of the Fallen. This game has some wild lore and honestly it’s pretty engaging. Not Souls-level depth or complexity but I like that it is a bit more straightforward in how the balance of power is set. A trinity. For a debut game from a remote studio this game definitely got slept on. Solid.

Great, great film. Fucking brutal though.

Yup.

Industry lobbying groups successfully pushed for removal of food safety regulations from the spending bill. If RFK Jr. really cares about health and improving food systems, he should push back against corporate threats to our safety. Add your name: https://fwwat.ch/41LUXcg

This will be a nothing-burger as the DOJ has been most likely spending weeks eliminating Trump’s name from the files.

#Dispatch devs have no interest in using AI for game development 🎮 "AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative" "Whatever we're building, it has to connect. It's got to be made by people. It's got to connect to people" (via GIBiz)

A new paper from @econliberties.bsky.social shows that the culprit is a shift in how homebuilding is financed that ultimately favored Wall Street profits over Main Street’s housing needs. Read: economicpopulist.substack.com/p/how-wall-s....

Good get for the service.

Apart from being obviously awful you can see from the flash of anger on his face that he is feeling *completely* out of control about this situation. Reminds me of the interview he bailed on in the ESPN 30 for 30, “Who Killed the USFL,” when he was confronted on his failures by a reporter

Geez, this MNF halftime booth is a god awful bore. None of them say anything of substance or is coherent. Just random football barks like some NPC shit.

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation. I mean, I do. But still. How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.

Oh, I like this. This rules.

On #GameMakersNotebook, @alexaray.bsky.social chats with @obsidianent.bsky.social's @jesawyer.bsky.social about developing RPGs, his time at Black Isle Studios, adapting D&D to video games, parsing feedback while keeping true to your creative vision, and balancing RNG to improve player experiences!

The “Star Wars Holiday Special” premiered on this day in 1978.

Man we all sure were yelling about how much Geoff Keighley and his award show sucks and made a mockery out of marginalized folks after only using them for brownie points. There's no way this year's awards show is a laughingstock for its nominations. *takes a big sip of coffee and scrolls down*

Keighley's Vanity Project is not worth your time or energy. Skip it. Dude is a grifting bag of mashed up assholes. Better award shows out there.

New games are right around the corner 👀 Come watch Xbox Partner Preview on November 20 for sneak peeks at third party titles like 007 First Light, REANIMAL, Tides of Annihilation, and more: xbx.lv/4i1jxN6 | #XboxPartnerPreview

A member of U.S. Congress has now called out Activision Blizzard's use of generative AI in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and demanded tighter regulation to "prevent companies from using AI to eliminate jobs." https://bit.ly/3X0EZs8

I regret to inform you that Olivia Nuzzi's book appears to be Perfect insane, stupid, comically overwritten, dishy, politically indefensible I cannot wait to get my hands on it I must accept this is who I am as a person at some deep level whether I like it or not www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...

Lords of the Fallen Having recovered the Rune of Adyr i now have what I need to enter The Empyrean. One step closer to the fire.

Eloise just went scorched earth on Megyn Kelly

Ulysses 31 was a 1981 Japanese-French animated series that reimagines the myth of Odysseus in a 31st-century setting. Created jointly by DIC Audiovisuel and Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the show ran for 26 half-hour episodes.

Trump: Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. You have got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton… all those people that knew including JP Morgan Chase.. Reporter: If there is nothing incriminating in the files, why not— Trump: QUIET! QUIET!
