They cancelled an Assassin's Creed game where you were a slave and killed KKK members because of the anti-DEI response to Shadows.

i use the phrase cinematic universe as neither franchise nor series and not even serial captures the depth, berth, and virulence of modern content production and distribution

Claire 'Val Loughcrew' [Unknown] @goresorcerer.bsky.social · 3h

the fact that everyone says franchise instead of series nowadays is so insidious

As the Supreme Court term begins, keep this framework in mind: Autocratic Legalism.

Instead of “rule of law” (law constrains the power), we get “rule by law” (law as a weapon for power).

Authoritarians usually have to install allies. Trump started his second term with that step already complete.

The only effective opposition is through the language of morality and documented harm—not legal technicalities that can be swept away with a 6–3 vote.” The text is centered on a neutral background, with “morality” and “documented harm” slightly emphasized to underscore the moral and empirical contrast with “legal technicalities.”

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

the 39th congress is the best argument for sending historians and lawyers to washington

congress’s advantage is process, minutiae, controlling the bag, investigation, and passing laws

[re: tariffs] extremists aren’t good risk managers or institution maintainers - if your world view is informed by us vs them or some iteration of that then management and mitigation strategies aren’t really your thing

sucks to be an extremist who runs a business in a global economy

it’s a risk management and threat modeling question - something that extremists or those prone to extremism don’t do well - it’s like being intensely ideological blunts or even eliminates any long term thinking - always about short term gains over long term survival

The question "should you have sympathy for and offer support to people who don't care to put effort into their own well-being" isn't always easy to answer.

People’s reactions to these stories tend to be of the leopards-eating-faces variety but this is a great piece of reporting in part about how voters very disconnected from politics make their choices.
