Rereading this extraordinary piece, like watching the perfect film, is becoming an annual tradition.
Thanks to @coffeeeeee.bsky.social for this perfect essay about It’s a Wonderful Life. “It’s a Wonderful Life is, in part, the story of someone becoming, kicking and screaming, against all intentions and desires, a big man. Mary sees the big man in George from the first, because she is a big woman.”
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

Left some of my clothes on the floor next to the elevator so my very Christian neighbors see it and think they didn’t get chosen.
That’ll teach them for playing the TV at high volume late into the night.

There's no shame in "shrink it and pink it." Game consoles have no sense of style, and should come in more colors and designs, @midimyers.com writes. www.endlessmode.com/article/game...
Game Consoles Should Be Cuter
Aesthetics are important and say a lot about a product. That's why game consoles should embrace cuteness and have more stylistic options.

Retweet this and tell everyone who follows you to retweet it.
Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.
Not this time. Not anymore.

What do the big publishers actually bring to the table? 10 games a year that are worth paying attention to -- maybe? And I mean between all of them combined. Really, their value was that they employ a lot of people. So now what?

The way this would affect patients, not just from the loss of coverage (which would be devastating) but the staffing shortage and budget cuts that would lead to worse care for everyone...This whole bill is an evil, evil disaster. Please take a minute and email your representative, call them too

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it??
Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

Walmart took my soul this week. First they cancelled my MGS delta preorder and now they cancelled my switch 2 preorder, right before it comes out.
Looks like I’ll be doing the midnight release dance for the first time in ages.
