"If we want to consider video games as an art form, we need to start talking about them as such; not as a Metacritic score competition but as works that convey world views."

Only through the intro and already this is saying exactly what everyone needs to hear.

Go check this out. Subtitles on.

After your splendid blitz of generosity, I am down to the last *3* of each of these prints! I can't thank everyone enough for welcoming my work into your homes, sharing it, and generally being cool.

Just in case you'd like to help get those numbers to zero:

We've kicked Don't Stop Believing 2026 with quite the odd pair of divisive games! You can catch January's column now online, and read February's RIGHT NOW for just $5 in the latest issue of Unwinnable Monthly!

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval β€” which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

I need about $500 more to cover my insurance this month

That's car insurance, not medical. I also need help with medical insurance.

So! If you like my articles, please:

1) quote tweet a recommendation/excerpt
2) tip if you can
3) link people to the piece!

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the β€˜most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

I recognize I am an extremely rare holdout in that I have been so hardline anti-AI that I have still yet to use a chatbot willingly, but uh, I feel like every other story I read is about how all the consumer-facing stuff is a mental illness particle accelerator www.theguardian.com/technology/n...
