Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This year's Bloggies Nominees Over 90+ blog posts. And a surprise category for 2026.

We are 1 week away from voting, so I need everyone's help spreading the word. Congrats to all the nominees and blogs submittedβ€”this last year was incredible. Forming the lists was equal parts rewarding and painful.

Every other Super Bowl ad is for AI because it's going really well and everyone wants to use AI. This is just like how two years ago all the ads were for NFTs and last year all the ads were for Crypto and you don't see as many ads for NFTs and Crypto anymore because everyone loves them now.

Brown offers similar insights into the question of politics in games. β€˜Players have all kinds of preferences when it comes to games: dice or no dice, three-hour epics or speedy thirty-minute sessions, solitaire or plays-up-to-eight. And people generally don’t say, β€œKeep dice out of games” or β€œStick to making party games,” do they? Certain players seem to confuse their natural right to express preference with a more authoritarian might to police certain content. Because it’s not β€œpolitics” but a certain kind of politics that elicits this reaction from a small group. I think the few but loud people who say β€œKeep politics out of games” are demanding that we all shrink ourselves down to their very narrow, sad view of the world and of power, and doing that would make games way less fun and interesting for the rest of us.’
