"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

I saw this headline and my cynical brain immediately thought, "I bet it's to escape regulation and lawsuits." Then I read the article, and you're not going to believe this: it's to escape regulation and lawsuits. www.npr.org/2026/08/04/n...

First console: Mattel Intellivision First game: Armor Battle, though I didn't really enjoy it. I connected more with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons on the same system. It was kind of an ur-Zelda, with an overworld map, dungeons, and tools you had to find to clear obstacles. It was cool!

What makes a video game sound watery and wet? @subnautica.bsky.social 2 and Subnautica: Below Zero composer, @benprunty.bsky.social, talks about the New Age music of it all, and so much more on See Jurassic Right! Watch on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. youtu.be/7EWOqkuz6Go?...

I had a great time chatting with @stevenraymorris.bsky.social about Subnautica 2, its now infamous leviathan music, starting my career, the 1991 movie Hook, and a bunch of other stuff on his See Jurassic Right podcast. You can watch it here: youtu.be/7EWOqkuz6Go?...

I think about King's Quest a lot. Distinct childhood memory of overhearing a middle-aged woman at church telling my mom about how much she loved kings quest. This was like circa 1995? games used to be for everyone until nintendo/sega marketers turned them into Action Toys For 12 Year Old Boys

what's everyone else's fab examples of once massively popular and influential landmark titles in especially western games from back in the day that have just been forgotten and abandoned completely now. mine is black and white

I forgot that I used to use social media to like, promote my music. Go buy my music on bandcamp. There's a lot to listen to and while I cringe at my older stuff, most of it is pretty good! benprunty.bandcamp.com

I've been thinking a lot about physical media these days for reasons that are probably obvious. How interested would you be in buying a CD of one of my albums?

The difference between the standard liberal Dem suggestion of “hey you idiots, get organized if you want good things” and Mamdani’s “here, let me help you to organize to get good things” cannot be understated.

if, instead of organizing around rallies or campaigns, if the democrats ever wholeheartedly re-embraced the labor movement specifically and formal organizing like this around housing and similar material aspects of american life, my god just imagine

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Not me downloading fan-made FTL sheet music because I kinda want to play the title music on piano and after 15 years I don't remember any of it.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

This video has exploded over the last few days, as people marvel at its impressive water rendering. Its reappraisal is a direct result of physical media. A licensed sports game that received middling to poor initial reception. Exactly the kind of release that gets delisted a few years after release

Among the layoffs was character artist Christiane Meister — a 27-year veteran of Bethesda and (as far as I can tell) one of the longest tenured women in games, period. She worked on Argonians + Khajiit in TES3, horses in TES4 and TES5, Fallout creatures, and more. (cont'd)
