Last Week in IndyCar (11/16-23/25)
A certain sneaky Swede sets up his first offseason excursion, and several seats are shakier than we thought

Those bastards at RLL jumped the gun on the last bit I covered in this week’s newsletter, but here’s what’s been going on around the paddock in IndyCar

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Last Repost: Given the poor reception to Yakuza 0’s ‘directors cut’ release, I also implore everyone still on the fence to get 0 in its original form any way you can. One of my very favourite modern games.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

They say there are no rules in writing but 'delete boring stuff' is a pretty solid rule. If it's so boring you can't be bothered to write it, who do you think wants to read it?
i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

The boss bringing out Pizza might as well be Defcon 1 (or whatever) for places like this. Please keep calling! Especially the next 5 days!
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

I get that it’s trendy right now to call people out about losing a lot of weight and no we shouldn’t glorify it in any way but I’m also not so squirrel minded that I don’t remember Chadwick Boseman’s appearance before he left us so *I* personally will be leaving it alone.

Canadians are experts at that, but they also need to bring back their *real* finest export: arcade sports games with God-tier licensed soundtracks
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

The difference between a gambler at a slot machine and an AI prompter is that the gambler has the decency to pay to gamble with their own money, whereas the prompter pays by driving up everybody else’s electricity bills

Guess what? When you oppress millions of people, and wield a violent police state against literally anyone you feel like, violent chaos tends to happen.
You cannot scold humans into behaving properly under oppression. Knock it off.
