Defaming a murdered woman and shrugging off her death with a lie is about as evil as it gets and no journalist who gets within shouting distance of this vicious troll should let him have a moment's peace about it.

starting in six weeks or so, you will hear right wing and centrist commentators on cable news, podcasts etc start to refer to Mamdani as if it's obvious that he's failed, extremely unpopular etc. its very important in order for their plot to succeed that any left wing pol be discredited

The least useful people on this site, and for my profession, are those who feel compelled to point out / complain about paywalls. If you want some things you have to pay for them, And if you want to keep getting them you have to support those who create them.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Lost innocent! Watching that show again, especially after the Leftovers, makes it clear how much of the show is about character and theme (and about humans coping with the unknowable), rather than plot. A lot of people understandably thought they were watching a different kind of show!

A lot of the Game Awards noms are pretty expected (even, unfortunately, Expedition 33 being considered an indie game next to the others). But happily surprised to see Despelote pick up a couple nominations!! Hope more people get to play that.

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.
