Republicans have made their election strategy very clear: 1) Islamophobia 2) transphobia 3) blatant lying 4) cheating / suppressing votes 5) throwing endless dark + corporate $$ at all the above When I see Democrats HELPING them on 1 & 2 - or barely mentioning the rest - I want to break bones.

I have a memory of when corporations would do shitty things and try to put some kind of positive spin on it in their press releases, but Sony is actually just "we are taking away physical media, there will be no benefit to you, you own nothing, prices will not go down, we will rule in the ruins"

Sony has responded to a digital games lawsuit by arguing that players don't actually own the games they buy Its lawyers say they are licensed rather than sold

I mean, yeah, of course we realize this which is why so many of us are lamenting the loss of physical media. This is precisely why the 'digital future' kinda sucks. I'd be more forgiving if it weren't basically just renting access. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

Dolly Parton spent a not insignificant part of her life trying to get books into the hands of children and Republicans spent their time trying to stop her. Often Republicans are so blatantly evil that it becomes impossible to write off the people carrying water for them as anything other than evil.

Sarah's exhausted and needs to turn in early tonight, so we'll pick up Zero Company later this week. See you tomorrow for Radio Dead Air!
