Politicizing tragedy is always out of bounds and a horrific desecration of the victim if it’s in service of trying to prevent future tragedy by taking obvious and proved remedies.
But it’s perfectly fine if it’s in service of demonizing an out-group for retaliation with literally zero .

Sure, the world is absolutely on fire, but the weather in Boston is CRISP and I'm wearing a flannel and generally feel rather cozy, so I'm going to try to enjoy that.
Also, fuck Mitch McConnell, Trump, ICE, and most of the corrupt and racist SCOTUS.

You'll be shocked to learn I had feelings about what Neil Druckmann's departure from HBO's The Last of Us means for both the show and Naughty Dog's future.
The timing is particularly interesting with Microsoft doing its best to single-handedly blow up major parts of the games industry yesterday.

A tighter focus on making great games is the right thing now for Druckmann and Sony.

The Xbox / Microsoft layoff situation is wild and depressing. So many of these studios are doing good work and Microsoft's bottom line continues to grow but and getting cut because MAKE MORE? www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/...
Even before the Xbox layoffs, there was 'tension' at Halo Studios
At least five employees at Halo Studios have been fired as part of company-wide layoffs at Microsoft on Wednesday, according to a developer with knowledge of the situation.

Hmm, big changes afoot for The Last of Us season 3. I still liked season 2 a lot, but also recognize that there were a lot of legitimate issues with the plotting and pacing. Just a difficult story to adapt to TV, so shaking things up isn't a huge surprise. www.engadget.com/entertainmen...
