This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.
“Nothing better exemplifies the MAGA mindset than a half dozen heavily armed thugs beating and murdering a completely helpless civilian who is restrained on the ground, and then crying about how they’re the victim.” prospect.org/2026/01/26/i...
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

If this is weird I don't wanna be normal
LinkedIn thinks they can appeal to my inner Gregg Turkington.
lol was watching batman this morning and got hit with "ignore all previous instructions"
Best of Follows did the trick for me. It sometimes pulls too much from individuals who regularly put out high-engagement posts, but it is so refreshing to never see randos popping up.
What an awesome life you've lived. I'm grateful for your contributions to games, you're an inspiration! Rest easy Rebecca
Thank you for calling out the Lies of P
Thank you Joel, I was in Japan a week before you and saw that mascot everywhere. It's nice to finally have closure on what that funny guy's all about.
I thought this was @jonbois.bsky.social for a second
The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon has taken a new form in recent years. Before, when a newly learned concept seemed to appear everywhere all of a sudden, it was simply a cognitive bias. Now, thanks to engagement algorithms, people *really are* experiencing these high frequencies. But it's no more real.
Really proud of this story ❤️

I said this a bit ago and then the very next day Fyre Festival 2 was announced. And then canceled. Fyter Fest lives on with no acknowledgement of its reference.
Nina why
Oh wrestling is fake?
Then explain this
Congrats Stacey, that sounds fun!
I did Osaka/Hiroshima/Kyoto/Tokyo with 2-3 days each and that pace felt right. Pacing out the shinkansen trips and sticking to short/medium trips in between gave us time to take in each location.
Hiroshima worth it but I agree with others that the 4 day stretch seems packed. If you're going to Nara for the deer, consider that Miyajima (day trip from Hiroshima) also has friendly deer and is a beautiful island.
My faves: Outer Wilds, Obra Dinn, The Case of the Golden Idol, Her Story, Immortality, The Witness
I'm sticking with it, I've seen enough testimonials about how it really opens up! But it's testing my patience... many of the great games it's been compared to have a compelling main loop or setting which kept me hooked before I discovered the meta-mechanics. Drafting rooms is kinda boring?
About 5 hours and 10 runs into Blue Prince... still not clicking for me yet. I'm taking note of all the clues I'm seeing, but so far they mostly seem like material for puzzles I haven't unlocked yet. I've made some neat discoveries but none felt particularly earned, just stumbled upon.
When an airline promises to make my flight "unforgettable" it comes across much more like a threat than a sales pitch.
I got to meet one of my favorite wrestlers, Minoru Suzuki! His shop in Harajuku is sweet.
I'm in Japan at the same time as Joel! I was proud of this Miyajima pic
This except you should only start with two HDDs? I could be wrong, I'm only 6 hours into the videos.
I love professional wrestling.
I can already tell it will be my whole flight back from Tokyo!
Installing!
