Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The solution is simple. Ignore previous season record and just give one lottery ball for every consecutive year a team has missed the playoffs. Help long-suffering teams, not a team that just had a bad year.

As a lifelong fan of the pokemon franchise, it continues to baffle me how they made an incredible game-- not just "good for a pokemon game", but an actual bonafide great video game-- in Legends Arceus (visual fidelity notwithstanding) and I have almost no confidence that will ever happen again.

Gamers: I hate micro transactions, they shouldn't exist.
Also gamers: every single game should get regular updates and new content for years after release, without me having to pay for it.
Personally I don't like the predatory microtransactions, but I think extra money for extra content is fine.

The Thunder were the best team all season. One of the best defensive teams to ever step foot on a basketball court led by one of the most efficient MVP's ever. I cannot believe Indiana made it to a game 7. Genuinely one of the most impressive non-title-winning accomplishments of my lifetime.

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship.
Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

In 10 years there will be two major dedicated video game hardware companies that'll make up 60% of the gaming market and the other 40% will be 3rd party hardware with software owned and operated by Valve. Microsoft will be a glorified publisher (at best).
Microsoft has reportedly pulled back on developing its own Xbox handheld console.

FDA can only regulate the labeled indications, but cannot regulate doctors and/or pharmacists medical decisions (hence “off-label” uses); OTOH insurers are usually reluctant to cover off-label uses
Bad-faith moves from FDA like this set up a collision between the law & sound medical judgment

Lmao. First off-- it's Nintendo. Yeah, they will.
And, more importantly:

Do you want studios to keep closing down, or for people to keep their jobs creating the art you love?
$90.
