regarding the recent news

Xbox would still be alive if they had put a third jet set radio on there.

I've seen people say he's attacking his own guys but they're not his guys! His only political philosophy is "I want what I want" and anyone who gets in the way is an enemy, even if they were useful 5 minutes ago

"If you're not paying for a service, you're the product" used to be a reasonable mental model but now even the people who pay money to these platforms don't get treated like customers. There are no customers any more, it's just Money Guys jerking each other off, forever.

it's what it looks like.

A digital illustration of a bunch of three-dimensional, chunky-serifed letters going at different angles. The letters are being surrounded/clutched/supported/penetrated by a lot of fat, shiny tendrils in a number of different candy colors that are twisting around themselves and the letters and this is all riding together out of a bluish fog at the bottom of the frame.

U.S. Military Moves Into Place for Possible Strikes in Iran President Trump has given no indication that he has made a decision about how to proceed, as diplomatic talks continue.

Literal royalty facing accountability before the law while our king decides if he wants a new war — happy semiquincentennial!

Remarkable seeing how less functional the US is than its imperial progenitor and one of its client states in such a plainly obvious way on a single morning.

The long 2003.

Technology that The Left is excited about:

I already imported this because I simply don't mess around but I am relieved they are doing this.

They’re lashing out with increasing desperation and vulgarity because they already know that their time is limited.

found a god-tier panel in a history of hyrule promo zine

The right is allowed to personally dismiss and even leverage the power of the state against proven technologies like vaccines, renewables and trains but it’s a crisis when the left refuses to embrace unproven tech like the CSAM plagiarism machine

dunno when this change happened but today I noticed Twitch has a ROBLOX button at the top of the page (right next to Following and Browse. Totally wild.

we have to go back

if this is gonna happen in under a month to every multiplayer game that has almost a decade in the oven then at the very least it should just be open sourced and left to the laid off devs to do whatever with. literally the least you can do

One of the lessons I hope people take away from Jesse Jackson’s life and the outpouring of remembrances small and large is that progress is made and measured in every act and utterance against oppression and not measured solely in legislative or electoral victories.
