When you’re riding public transit you realize that what’s good for everybody is also good for you. If the bus runs faster, if the train is cleaner, if the AC works, we all benefit

when you’re driving a car, every other car on the road is your personal enemy

the next sidetalk video is gonna be astronomical

When I say I don't want to have kids but I still want to be involved in their lives, this is what I mean

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

On this day in 2021:

During the #AEWDynamite Halloween Special, the ELITE faced off against the Dark Order. With @shutupexcalibur.bsky.social delivering one of AEW's most memorable calls:

🗣️ "But wait a second, who's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?"

Yee-haw @eviluno.bsky.social 🤠

lol this cop pissed himself

Of course this is a nightmare and unethical in 100 different ways, but it's also short sighted to think that we're only going to have to judge these AI takes on AAA games.

Someone is going to make a little "indie" darling using purely AI that will be fun "enough" for people to ignore all that.

Excellent!

Hey Mark,

This has been bothering me since I read this piece - does the PHWA have anything to say about the reporter being removed and having their press badge revoked? Does The Athletic?

There has to be some sort of aftermath to a situation like that, no?

This game has a 100.00% chance of ending in Scorigami.

Kaleb was one of my favorite writers ever, just gutted to hear that he's gone.

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday.
Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Awaiting the Devolver Digital "Low Budget Showcase" where they put the full funding and costs on screen in a stack rank of cost.

the media rush to canonize charlie kirk is legitimately maybe one of the weirdest things of this nature i have ever seen in my life

Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’

Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”

This explains it better than I can

In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

FROM NOW UNTIL FEBRUARY 13TH IGN CREATORS GUILD IS GOING TO... DO OUR JOB! OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, IGN MANAGEMENT HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH LAYING OFF OUR COWORKERS OVER AND OVER. MEANWHILE, MANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE LEFT THE COMPANY IN NO SMALL PART DUE TO BUYOUTS, OVERWORK, AND FEELING UNSUPPORTED, EACH TIME, THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO BACKFILL MANY ESSENTIAL ROLES, CLAIMING WE'RE ON A HIRING FREEZE, IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET, OR THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO LESS WORK THIS TIME. AS A RESULT, IGNCG MEMBERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TAKE ON MORE OF THEIR FORMER COLLEAGUES' WORKLOADS. MANY OF US NOW WORK LONGER HOURS THAN WE USED TO. A LOT OF US RARELY TAKE LUNCH BREAKS. SOME OF US DO NOT TAKE ADEQUATE TIME OFF DUE TO THERE BEING NO ONE TO PICK UP THE SLACK. OTHERS OF US ARE STUCK DOING WORK WE WERE NEVER HIRED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE. UP TO THIS POINT, WE'VE ALL ACCEPTED THIS AS NORMAL, BECAUSE WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT IGN AND THE WORK WE DO. BUT WITH SO MANY OF US STRUGGLING MORE AND MORE AS EACH NEW WAVE OF OUR COWORKERS ARE DEPRIVED OF A LIVELIHOOD, THIS CYCLE CAN'T CONTINUE. MANAGEMENT IS UNWILLING TO STOP IT, SO IT FALLS TO US. WITH THE LAYOFFS OF EIGHT OF OUR COWORKERS, IGNCG HAS NEGOTIATED A SIX-MONTH RECALL LIST. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT, FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, IF IGN WANTS TO FILL ANY OF THOSE ELIMINATED ROLES AGAIN, THEY MUST REHIRE OUR LAID-OFF COLLEAGUES. WE WANT THEM TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THEIR JOBS BACK IF THEY WANT THEM, AND IF NOT, WE WANT THOSE ROLES BACKFILLED TO EASE THE BURDEN ON THE REST OF US. SO STARTING TODAY, LENCE MEMBERS ARE COMMITTING TO DO OUR JOBS. NO MORE, NO LESS. WELL SHOW UP TO WORK ON TIME AND LEAVE ON TIME. WE'RE TAKING ALL OF OUR LUNCH TIME, EVERY DAY. IF WE WORK LATE, WE WILL FIRMLY ASK FOR OUR RIGHTFULLY EARNED COMP TIME. AND IF IGN WANTS OUR LAID-OFF COWORKERS' WORK TO GET DONE, THEY'LL HAVE TO REHIRE THEM TO DO IT INSTEAD OF FOISTING IT UPON US. HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT IGNCG IN ALL THIS? SHARE THIS POST, AND TELL IGN MANAGEMENT THAT Y…

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.

Not this time. Not anymore.

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

The new Steven Wilson SiriusXM show is exactly what I've always needed. Rollins helped define this type of radio show for me and Wilson is the perfect next guy with the perfect genre to just go off.

I always knew I needed to get into Kate Bush but he just nailed the perfect tracks to make it so.

AI is now capable of designing a record-breaking deep sea submersible on its own. This marks a new age of exploration and I encourage all my fellow AI champions to build one and get in it so they can celebrate this achievement from the bottom of the sea.

OpenAI went ahead and enshittified ChatGPT, and here are some anonymized examples of why we shouldn't let ourselves rely - much less grow emotionally attached to - corporate products and especially LLMs. They are not your friends and you're purely a wallet.

here's @lotusloveslotus.bsky.social off the top rope with this take about KFC

Yea didn't think much of it yesterday but it all makes sense now.

Just the most clueless company in the world. Guessing no press conference again tonight?

Hulk Hogan, lying inexplicably sideways in his open coffin, being visited by a chihuahua dog, who looks distraught. The people behind the coffin do too

I'm sorry, but this may be the funniest Facebook AI slop I have ever seen. Bury me sideways in my coffin, brother. Let my dog see

This has been the golden rule for fascists and racists since time began:

Identify the parts of your nation that are crumbling (on your watch) and blame it on people who don’t look like you.

What is rare (and uniquely dangerous) is to find these people running the government.

Brown Eyed Girl. Just the most generic bullshit song ever written.

Hey. I've written a new article.

One of the difficulties in talking about "how can we do something better" is that it means we gotta talk about what isn't going well.

I wrote this in the hopes that reading it would give you tools to write work you're proud of.
