It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

I don't agree with what they did but it's the same as people who get annoyed that people critiquing capitalism actively participate in it. "Why are you complaining about big tech while using an iPhone smh" type nonsense.

This is such a misleading/manipulative headline. It was their grandparents car. Evidence also shows it's best to continue driving a car as long as possible as long as it's efficient rather than buying a new electric car.

Despite fumbling the overall idea a bit, this film is still worth watching. I need a fan edit of this film that's just the found footage sections.

It is concerning. If Norris takes pole here and the win tomorrow, I'd be betting Oscar isn't even involved and it's just Max/Lando for the title

"You college students are hypocrites because you won't provide the billions of dollars needed to rebuild Gaza after the genocide we did" is a hell of a thing to put in writing but okay

Which means it’s time for the pro-Palestinian activists who have protested in cities and on college campuses all over the world since October, 2023, to change their tune. If you were marching for a ceasefire in Gaza; if you were pushing institutions to divest from Israeli-linked firms; if you’ve held a sign that says “Free Palestine” — it’s time to reconsider your tactics.

It’s easy to say, “We won’t fund oppression.” It’s harder — and far more meaningful — to say, “We will fund rebuilding.”

That pledge is desperately needed. There are encouraging headlines about funding for Gaza, but, as of yet, little cold, hard cash.

If activists demand accountability from Gaza’s reconstruction, while proactively investing in it, they’ll be making a future for the strip not just possible, but better.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth: While divestment campaigns are great at signaling values, they rarely create concrete results that bring positive change to the lives of everyday Palestinians. They have yet to rebuild a single school. They don’t help provide health care.

Gaza needs more than slogans. It needs billions of dollars. Now.

So, to those in the pro-Palestinian movement: you’ve spent months organizing, marching and lobbying. You’ve asked the world to listen. Now’s your chance to lead. If you truly believe in justice for Palestinians, this is the time to show it. Put your money where your mouth is. Don’t divest from Israel. Invest in Gaza.

Frankly it's a breath of fresh air to have an engaging title fight happen without a toxic relationship; on the other hand if people can't sense the tension building they simply are not paying attention.

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.
