Kotaku hires Rebekah Valentine as Senior Reporter as site expands under new ownership Owner Keleops says that traffic has doubled in under a year; further hires planned to drive further growth

I work at Kotaku now! :)

You can go watch back today's KFGD to hear me talk about it a little if you want. You could also read my alma mater @gibiz.bsky.social to learn more! www.gamesindustry.biz/kotaku-hires...

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Jokers are wild... 🃏

My lil heart are you kidding me! Thank you so much 🥹

Have they kept doing that rebooted version of Q&A with David Speers? Or did they just do that one episode on how Israel should be not critcised for genocide and leave it at that?

I’d never do Simpsons trivia because I know roughly 10000x more about the Simpsons than the median human being and roughly 10000x less than bearded men who do Simpsons trivia

Definitely the RNC/DNC joke

Cause uhhh where the joke at

AFR screenshot We need to flip the script on NDIS incentivising disabilities Instead of rewarding psychological fragility, our government must stop incentivising young Australians to medicalise everyday struggles and anxieties and encourage resilience. Josh Szeps Columnist

This is total horseshit.

The NDIS incentivizes shonks and ticket clippers to provide dodgy services and "assistance" at higher costs to people with disabilities.

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor.

The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Imagine being so unpopular and evil that you have to drop this amount of money and invent new forms of ratfucking so you can beat a 27-year-old who regularly wears a Snorlax onesie to bed.

I watched both Tillies games. Joe (in his overseas coaching anyway) is a plan A and no plan B type of coach and it seems that will be the way he does it here. It was the same in the Asian Cup. Sometimes it works, a lot of times it doesn't.

It’s so exasperating that so many folks either can’t or refuse to distinguish between unwarranted negativity and genuine critique. It’s not black and white you either support unquestionably or you must have some agenda. Does my head in

can’t wait to see how this untested front three of Sam Kerr, Caitlin Foord and Hayley Raso go against world number [checks notes] 128

screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -

POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad

VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??

POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

zackeryatlas 12h The degradation of society: 1. Celebrating the k!lling of a CEO 2. Cheering on warehouse arsons 3. Making heroes out of people who attempt political violence You can be outraged at the system and still not glorify violence. These aren't wins. This is a society losing its moral compass. [Coming from a liberal btw]

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

It is so so so so so so so so hard to teach content that you and your students are ethically and intellectually opposed to and today it had me so so so so so so close to a panic attack to be spoken to like a moron about how amazing this content is and that maybe I don’t understand it (ofc it is AI)

a fun thing about social media is watching gifted wordsmiths come up with new and vivid ways to vaguely suggest unactionable violent ideation while thousands of people all wish for the same man to die

truly diabolical when the sound levels capture the tillies singing the anthem. sounds like an aunty donna sketch.

Building and fighting for our communities is what it’s all for ✊

TWiG really was an entry point into fandom and gaming communities and it’s such a part of who I am including as a teacher supporting my students. You’re always a real one too mate 💚

sending love, strength and hope your way, Mike 🫶
