For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voterโ€™s positions. Mamdaniโ€™s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Man, looking at this again...it's such a bummer that they canned this version and turned it into a regular action game. Anyone know what happened behind the scenes here?

UN says it's genocide.
HRC says it's genocide.
PVA says it's genocide.
ICJ says it's genocide.
ICC says it's genocide.

Anyone who knows anything about genocide says it's genocide. Everyone is lying except Israel who are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Some of The Sims 4's biggest content creators have just stepped down from EA's creator network in the wake of the $55B Saudi-backed buyout: 'This situation is a nightmare for our community' Plumbella, James Turner, and lilsimsie are all pivoting away from their biggest game.

Really glad to see this reported on. www.pcgamer.com/games/the-si...

Watch this and listen carefully.

Singapore PM on the change in the global order given the US is no longer the insurer of stability - a sentiment that will go beyond the current administration. But nobody else has stepped in building a foundation of multipolarity amid turbulence.

Played the first bit of Dispatch by @adhocstudio.com and it's amazing - as an old Telltale fan, I can safely say I haven't wanted the player character to find the courage to confess their feelings to a character played by @erinyvette.bsky.social this much since The Wolf Among Us / Tales from BL ๐Ÿคฉ

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI releases web browser to rival Google ChatGPT Atlas was unveiled as the company seeks new ways to corral users to its online offerings.

There can only be one reason they are doing this IMHO - to spy on you and collect more data for insight gathering, profiling and targeting. #surveillanceeconomy

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Exclusive: Instagram shows more โ€˜eating disorder adjacentโ€™ content to vulnerable teens, internal Meta research shows Meta researchers found that teens who report that Instagram regularly made them feel bad about their bodies saw significantly more โ€œeating disorder adjacent contentโ€ than those who did not, according to an internal document reviewed by Reuters.

Absolute bombshell from @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social:

Meta's internal research found that Instagram's algorithms preferentially displayed harmful content to vulnerable teens.

I'm glad I left Instagram back when I did, even if it was for other reasons (their anti-LGBTQ policies).

I need to mention something that happened yesterday. I had a negative review of my game & an irate player in my Discord, talking about bugs they claimed were longstanding, mentioned all over Steam and Reddit, and never fixed. After some probing they admitted they had been asking ChatGPT for hints.

Tilly Norwood is a gen AI psyop The point is to normalize generative AI in your mind.

โ€œAll of this feels ridiculous because thatโ€™s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products โ€” be they movies, shows, or TikToks โ€” finally come to market, your reaction is โ€˜Sure, why not?โ€™โ€

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.
