This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding. It is true. It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true: 🧵 www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-...

I think *most* of our studio announcement conversations are out now. But the last 3 I know about are (I assume) bangers, because they were super fun to do. Yesterday was John Walker with Kotaku, today is NoClip, with Danny: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRJf...

John Walker - Industry Analcyst@botherer.bsky.social · 3d agoI interviewed @harvey1966.bsky.social about his new studio Black Pony Immersive, and we talked motivations, rebellion, and the vitality of mystery.

Each day in late summer 2026 I see food safety recalls. Mangoes, tofu, beef, eggs, berries. It’s not just the threat of illness, it’s the threat of huge financial hits. How many Americans are facing hospital bills as a result of our government failing in one of its most basic functions: food safety?
If media can help maintain the fiction that McConnell is anything other than dead or else inert and on life support, what is our democracy?
Mark T. Sneed@marktsneed.bsky.social · 5d agoOn this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

Unrelated, I finally got a chance to rewatch Miami Vice (the unrated version). It's so good. Fox & Farrel, Mann, the supporting cast and the villains. All amazing. Critics were just LOST when this film came out. Totally wrong. If you like crime movies, this is good shit. "I'm a fiend for mojitos."

It’s my turn now! The newsletter didn’t take off so I’ve been laid off. If you’re looking for someone with 15 years of experience as a writer and editor, please get in touch. I’ve also written dozens of mock reviews and my clients say they’re good.
How is it possible Google Meet does not allow image paste in the chat window?! HOW?!
