So mant outlets were saying with certainty that no one wants $70 AAA games anymore based on 2024 and 2025 sales figures, without ever suggesting that perhaps its because not very many great $70 games came out in that time period. The first 4 months of 2026 shit all over that notion already.
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime.
Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction.
And then there's this...

The one sentence in here I disagree with is "This isn't about retribution."
Yes, it is. The people who are fucking over the country need to pay.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote.
They found one. One.
And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.
It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.
The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.
it's remarkable the way this single shot totally rehabilitated Aerith's image after like two straight decades of her being relegated to "Girl who stands in a void going 🙏" in every other piece of FF7 material

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.
Not for the first time noting some of the most enthusiastic proponents of online community meetings I've encountered are city staff who were astonished at how much more diverse participation became when it didn't mean needing to find a babysitter. Naturally, councillors want to kill it with fire.
Anyway, COVID isnt over.
Also, we are approaching a housing catastrophe. Worrying about neighborhood character guidelines that were set out 25 years ago is so *unbelievably low* on my list of concerns.
In an article full of disappointing quotes, this one from @marymargaretbey.bsky.social struck me.
Do you you really think we are "out of COVID"? Do at risk community members not deserve safe remote meetings? Why shut out those who struggle to attend in person meets?
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

I'd prefer involuntary for this guy anyway.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Okay, this isn't a live-service game.
It's a small, $15 regular 5v5 multiplayer game. The only DLC is a $5 'supporter pack' that gives every character one more skin and the soundtrack.
It's exactly what people have been demanding because they HATE live-service games. And then gets punished as one!
AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS
AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING
WERE
BOTH
RIGHT
