These are the top two headlines on Rock Paper Shotgun this morning. It's going to take a lot of work but it is not too late to turn this horse around. Public opinion is shifting and I think the backlash is only going to get stronger.

And in case you're thinking "2022 isn't a good comparison because of the effects of the pandemic", there is probably some truth in that, but the trend significantly pre-dates Covid.

I know some people around here like to say that there is no loneliness crisis, it's just that no one wants to date men who are jerks, but there is clearly a real and much bigger social change going on here.

Everyone talks about how closely the Muppet Christmas Carol sticks to the source material, and yet for some reason they omit the bit where two young people make out behind a curtain during a game of blind man’s bluff.

If you’ve never read the original version of A Christmas Carol, I highly recommend it. It’s worth reading even if you’ve seen several adaptations of it, just for the quality of the writing.

My first thought was "Huh, I wonder where they got the study participants from" and, in a shocking turn of events, it's the same platform that most AI studies use, which pays people fees per survey they complete. Well, no possible methodology problem there!

Uhhhh, I don't think they can do that unless he's literally incapacitated? "Profesionally incapacitated" doesn't appear in section 11.02.

![Columbo first appeared in a 1960 episode of The Chevy Mystery Show titled "Enough Rope", wherein he was portrayed by Bert Freed.[2] After this, the character was portrayed almost invariably by Peter Falk, who appeared in the role from 1968 through 2003.
Levinson and Link have said that the character was based on the Crime and Punishment character Porfiry Petrovich. Roger Ebert speculated that Columbo's character was also influenced by Inspector Fichet from the French suspense-thriller film Les Diaboliques.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s7zwxkzbvve2aruvjuln5ug4/bafkreifybzi7wj5bc3wcgjpoxs5nuz73edpsx5xktl5lc2ujurbmfidbgi@jpeg)

The difference between the critical reception and the audience rating on Metacritic is fun. I think it's brilliant, but I get that it's not for everyone.

Some version of this paragraph seems to show up in every @jasonschreier.bsky.social article about a game with a troubled development cycle. Management is a discrete skill set, you've got to hire people who can do it well!
