seen this iterating on youtube and reddit over the past year. tragedies can have compelling reasons why the characters did not do xyz! does not take any skillset to recognize when you're not convinced!

feel like this argument is spun out of 20th c. genre fic discourse about people just not liking laser beams and gnomes and now being deployed incorrectly by fandom to cover bad writing

stellar reporting and an object lesson on the higher ed playbook in other states

What’s the Matter With Texas A&M? Five presidents in five years. Firings of “woke” professors. Crackdowns on Plato. Inside state leaders’ efforts to remake a great university.

For two years, I've been investigating claims that Texas A&M University has been overtaken by the forces of gay race communism. The truth is a little more complicated: www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Fascist violence reaped domestic tragedy in The Medium Before remaking Silent Hill 2, Bloober Team revealed fascism and abuse as two sides of the same coin in The Medium, which was released five years ago this week.

“As rich pedophiles contract violent thugs to terrorize migrants and birthright citizens alike, art that explores the close intersection of fascism, child abuse, and misogyny holds a specific prescience.”

I wrote about The Medium for its 5th birthday at @avclub.com:

I only know found out through ads on instagram!

The Live in Concert industrial complex swinging Violet Evergarden at MSQ in February with tickets starting over $100 feels like hubris but is it too late to try to find a work excuse to get in

hey at least they use the full range of the scale

When I try to explain to people that investors are generally very, very stupid people this is what I mean.

(good take y'all should be reading mikhail's newsletter)

What are we to make of Highguard? Highguard is neither the disaster people seemed to hope it would be, nor the next Apex Legends. It is mostly just fine.

Something I have been reading a lot of recently is that there are people cheering for a game to be good or bad in the criticism sphere and I'm...not sure who they are?

Like who was IGN really writing about? No one I know, certainly. Most serious critics want media to be INTERESTING.

My new video is live now on Nebula and Patreon.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

this week in videogame discourse

no but seriously what do you mean I can swallow a pill that just makes me stop feeling my esophagus but apparently I’m also not supposed to feel like I’m choking the whole time

next time a doc asks if I’m allergic to any medications I’m gonna have to tell them if you give me something that alters my sense of interoception or proprioception I will have to write an essay about it in 3-24 months

One piece of advice i always want to give people (especially cis people) when news like this happens (which is often) is that maybe just see how your trans friends/family are doing. Just say "hey i saw this, how are you doing?" You might be surprsied how infrequently that happens for some of us

highlights include: all updated driver's licences/birth certificates are now invalid & must be replaced w sex at birth & if you accuse someone of being trans in a bathroom you get $1000

i think all those ones hatched the eggs are crossplaying now

gm I think I might have bronchitis
