The Xbox publishing team was cut quite a bit in July, though some projects remain.

A source familiar with the matter cited projects with Asobo (presumably Flight Simulator), Platinum and Koei Tecmo (Ninja Gaiden 4) and Kojima Productions (OD) as still ongoing

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

this was a crime against humanity, and the prosecution of that should fall to the ICC, imo. he should also be prosecuted federally for the myriad national security laws he violated. these crimes are as serious as it gets. we have to see justice

Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way

earlier this month at a talk, I mentioned the 186,000 death toll in Gaza that was estimated in June 2024 in the medical journal the Lancet. watching people who were complicit or supportive of the war on Gaza, particularly under Biden, suddenly horrified 13 months later... is really something to see

We’re filing a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s illegal demand for SNAP recipients’ personal information, including immigration status.
 
Families should be able to get the assistance they need without fearing that they will be targeted by this administration.

I was talking with a teenager recently who is not a transphobe but said he didn’t think it was fair for trans women to play women’s sports . I said that I didn’t think it was fair that people who are taller than me get to play basketball and he paused for a moment and then said, ok you’re right.

the first official said that the $600 billion figure was "based on detailed discussions with different business associations and companies in order to see what their investment intentions are."

They just asked what they already plan on doing w no discernible time-frame.

BBC News: Do you think you were a witness to war crimes?

American veteran who worked at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution center: Without question I witnessed war crimes.

When you strip away humanity

‘The Gaslight District’ has been greenlit for a full Season 1 order at Glitch Productions.

Every facet of the federal government is being oriented around a concerted push for ethnic cleansing.

Maybe stop bastardizing African-American terms then...

Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America? If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

WE ALREADY HAVE THESE. THEY ARE CALLED PRISONS.

And it is directly the fault of the media for ignoring the deep injustice of our prison system for decades that led to these escalations.

People have been calling for abolition for decades for a reason.

The thing about the Times is when you look like mamdani you are not owed any privacy even as a teenager while filling a confidential form for college but if you look like Jordan Lasker your identity must be protected even as a grown man while sharing stolen data for the purpose of neonazi propaganda

A consequence of this would be reputational damage, which they've likely accounted for. I'm sure the development of the already delayed Fable will be impacted. So, if it's bad, I will be referring back to this. There clearly needs to be laws made to stop corps from treating people like this...

this suffering is because this country didn't string up confederates after the war

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics…

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

to be clear, Iranian Parliament has voted to allow the Security Council to make the determination, apparently not every country just takes major geopolitical decisions based on one guy's mood swings

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Hey so you know that secret thing @tomking.bsky.social and I have been working on?… Just announced at the @annecyfestival.bsky.social in France…

MISTER MIRACLE The Adult Animated Series coming from WB Animation!!

ESCAPE GOD.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Harassment by Ubisoft executives left female staff terrified, French court hears Judges consider verdicts against three men after hearing four days of evidence that prosecutor calls ‘overwhelming’

Appalling, disgusting, and disappointing. The only way this behavior dies is severe punishment for the full grown men who seemingly never learned to keep their fucking hands to themselves.

I think there's a useful point on the Overton window here but also, this was announced this evening and is leading homepages on literally every site I checked, so maybe give it twelve hours or so to start gauging the temperature of the reaction?

Soon Everyone Will Use Our Product, Says CEO

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

A tweet from HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it's common sense and it's good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS's promise to Make America Healthy Again.

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

Those people will always laser in on the absolute wrong side of the abuse argument. Eventually, they just stop talking to me about shit lol

She's so right it is straight sexism

Imo the hatred usually stems from feeling of inadequacy and lack of communication skills with the women in their lives
