Here’s my massive interview with Dispatch’s writer Pierre Shorrete - touching on superhero fatigue, the nature of choice in narrative games, how it started as live action, how it became a “far greater” succes than expected, and what’s next www.inverse.com/gaming/dispa...

Remembering Wesley LePatner
I met Wesley in 1985, during the summer we both turned four. Until last Monday, our lives always seemed to run on parallel tracks.

Screenwriters from Writers Guild of America, also including David Simon and Celine Song, call out president’s ‘authoritarian assault’ on free speech
More than 2,300 members of the Writers Guild of America, including Spike Lee and Adam McKay, have signed an open letter decrying the actions of Donald Trump’s administration that represent “an unprecedented, authoritarian assault” on free speech.
The letter, a combined effort from the WGA East and West branches, cites the US president’s “baseless lawsuits” against news organizations that have “published stories he does not like and leveraged them into payoffs”. It specifically references Paramount’s decision to pay Trump $16m to settle a “meritless lawsuit” about a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The letter notes that Trump “retaliated against publications reporting factually on the White House and threatened broadcasters’ licenses”, and has repeatedly called for the cancellation of programs that criticize him.

I profiled Patti LuPone, who sounded off on the state of Broadway ("I don't want to be onstage anymore. PERIOD."), her love of the New York Rangers ("It was all sex appeal"), the couple she deems "two of the stupidest human beings on the face of the earth," and Audra McDonald ("not a friend").
Patti LuPone Is Done with Broadway—and Almost Everything Else
The seventy-six-year-old theatre diva, famed and feared for her salty bravado, dishes on Hal Prince, her non-friendship with Audra McDonald, and sexy but dumb New York Rangers.

Would love if this turns out like the 1989 Don Rosa classic, “His Majesty, McDuck,” in which Scrooge declares Killmotor Hill its own sovereign nation (McDuckland) and everything promptly goes to hell without the support of vital government services.
Elon Musk will now have a company town.
Starbase, Texas, home of Musk's SpaceX, will soon be an official city.
A total of 212 Starbase residents, most of whom are SpaceX employees, voted to incorporate as a new town.
