Paramount-Warner Would Create a Hollywood Jobs Apocalypse - The American Prospect The deal comes complete with so much debt that it would almost certainly lead to mass job loss. That could prove to be an argument against the deal in court, too.

Been thinking about this part a lot. Just this cruel imitation of life in the new resident evil. unexpectedly trenchant. very grim.

β€œWhere lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner” in the pokopia logo style but it’s too much text and you can’t see it all. This is a joke, it’s very funny.

beside the point but it’s mildly interesting that scary movie kind of created an entirely different ghost face that coexisted with scream’s. Mascot of all horror metafiction

This app is not a bastion of verified videos right now. The content aggregators are sharing old clips, AI clips, misattributed clips, etc.

We all have to be mindful of what we share. Doing our best to evaluate what we boost and always erring on the side of caution as non-Middle East experts.

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

the entire Trump administration is just tripping over itself to point guns at people they gleefully believe will never fire back in a way that they will notice or feel. at home and abroad, bullying is a virtue to them. A thrill. Villains all.

Dig how Marc puts Zelda in conversation with its predecessors and contemporaries. Nintendo has long been treated as a singular wonka-like place, but as Marc shows, it’s a developer like any otherβ€”playing the work of its peers and responding to them

kind of cool being into a multiplayer game everyone else is. Spent big chunks of the weekend hanging with different coteries of homies, catching up, tooling around. silver lining to a real bad weekend

Yeah I think it’s a hit. Even the rage bait has a β€œbut you’re thinking of me” quality to it

You can just share stuff about xenoblade, I think Ken would eat it up. (Alex would not)

do em in order I say. s2 is interesting, probably plays a lot better removed from the hype and expectation of it being like 1. Ray Velcoro is one of the all-time guys. 3 is the only one I never finished, because it tried to formalize what the show is and I got bored. (Night country good)

Ngl I almost threw the book out when project hail Mary’s dedication was to John Paul George and ringo. And then again when I saw that was plot relevant. Maybe I should just quit while I’m ahead

reading Andy Weir and this guy feels just like Michael Crichton but goofier. And a little less misanthropic. What if Michael Crichton didn’t have enemies, real or imagined

Truly think it comes down to style! I think in games there’s a tendency to truly believe the best game wins, but sometimes it’s just the ones streamers gravitate. And sometimes, very rarely, a game goes for cool and pulls it off. I think marathon is cool! And people are responding to that
