Dorito Pope Geoff claims running The Game Awards is an "impossible" balancing act. Sir, it's only impossible because he tries to pass off a three-hour infomercial as a celebration of art. The Game Ads Awards are just a billboard for shareholders. www.thegamebusiness.com/p/interview-...

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

LA quietly stopped repaving all streets last July to avoid fulfilling its ADA obligations. The federal govt says when you repave a street, you have to update all the curb ramps. LA has tons of out of date curb ramps, so the rule makes repaving much more expensive. The city's solution: stop repaving!
LA has stopped repaving our streets
The reason why is probably illegal

breaking: the negotiated NDAA to authority military spending would ban trans women from competing in sports at military academies
it would likely be the first sports ban in federal statute, and would codify a definition of sex as solely defined at birth
unless something changes it is set to be law

I have recovered a very janky video game prototype from the deleted sectors of a hard drive and I'm going to post a screenshot here to see if any of you fellow sickos recognize it, even though it was never actually announced and this is the first time anyone has seen it (I know what it is, do YOU?).
