I played Ball x Pit for 12 of the first 24hrs I got it, and 7 of those were sleeping. It is an existential threat

George freaking W Bush was president the last time LeBron James didn't break 10 points in an NBA game.
It still came in a win, but after 1,297 games the streak has finally come to an end. What a legendary run. #NBASky

2000AD people getting mad at Judge Dredd being used in US DoJ recruitment ads is interesting. Dredd belongs to a huge swathe of popular media that I call 'having your cake and eating it'. The ostensible theme is satirizing fascism; the actual reason people read it is the drama and the megaviolence

fascinating thread
Some of my editorial work comes via Reedsy. Over the past year it's become completely overrun by people (I can't call them authors) who are asking for editorial help on manuscripts that have been generated by #AI. Often, what they want is for someone to make the text sound more human.

Donald Trump Won’t Be Saved by Maps - The American Prospect
Gerrymandering in red states is predicated on Republicans holding Trump’s support in 2024, particularly from Latinos. That could be a bad bet.

i found a peak-era Reacher book that i hadn't read. that's on me, but in my defense, none of the extremely generic titles have any obvious relation to the content and there are a lot of them
anyway, now i am dithering over the final chapters cause once this is done, that's it, no more prime Reacher

System-specific copies.
My fantasy, if we're living in a digital age where you don't get a physical copy anymore, is buying a license for the game - and being able to download it on any system that can run it.
