This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

CRITICAL ERROR isn't about "what we played this week" or the latest press embargo.

It's a videogame podcast about HOW we talk about games.

Has anyone ever dumped all over your good time playing a multiplayer game by accusing you of the grave sin of just liking your friends?!

on some level it’s nice of Microsoft to pivot to all of its least interesting shit at the same time that it went on the BDS priority list. genuinely haven’t felt like i’m missing anything since i stopped playing their games

No Duskbloods in today's Nintendo Direct, but at least we still got a sign of life for it today, assuming it will release within a week of this.
The hunt is on.

Superb video essay here from @peterspittech.bsky.social on the bittersweet experience of returning to Animal Crossing, Covid memories, finding meaning in actions taken years ago, and more.

As I started playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons again for the first time in over half a decade, one thought kept popping up in my head:

"This is going to hurt, isn't it?"

“Let People Enjoy Things,” like “Let People Hate Things,” is a nothing phrase—an abdication of saying anything substantive, dressed up as generosity. Its real function is to discourage any kind of thinking.

Critics shouldn't worry about crowd management.

the written piece at the end of today's episode was pretty vulnerable but I think it's worth discussing. there is a relationship that gambling addiction has with the fantasy of a better life that has nothing to with the actual money you can win.
