After reporting the news, games media must now grapple with what the call to boycott Xbox means for us. I wrote about why we must and how we can orient games writing towards liberation. Games nor words alone will save us, but we can as individuals express solidarity and possibility in all we do.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Due to a new bill signed by NC Governor Josh Stein (a Democrat), the moratorium on our state's death penalties has been ended and may now proceed via *any* method. Welcome back, barbarity.

In the book, my essay “The False Evolution of Execution Methods” will be accompanied by a new essay by Lyle May. May interrogates capital punishment from his singular perspective; he has been incarcerated on North Carolina’s death row for over twenty years.

good video hope the mainstream conversation shifts but also people (me) have been saying this monopoly will be as bad as all the others since the beginning! to crunchyroll's credit though, most monopolies don't usually fumble their own bag so bad.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Reading Will There Ever Be Another You feels a lot like reading Camus in high school or Debord in college did except this time I know the prose is supposed to feel like that. Impressive and intimidating how effective it is at staying just out of grasp.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

#DeadEndParanormalPark surfaced into the public consciousness for the worst, transphobic reasons possible. It was a few years ago I reviewed the cartoon on @slashfilm.bsky.social and discussed its exploration of a kid's transgender experience.

The brilliance of AI as a marketing term being that these argument build on entirely fictional narratives of how tech works, and now the apostles are gonna see themselves as the oppressed stand in for real world marginalized groups in these fictions as if your sex chatbot is Johnny 5.

What’s really annoying is this thread is based off a post extrapolating heavily from the popularization of the droid slur that does raise eyebrows, but not cus it’s hurting a robots feelings!! There’s an actual history to it!
