Rest in peace, Electronic Arts. Thanks for the few good games and the big lessons about greed and microtransactions.
"This moment recognizes the extraordinary people whose creativity, ambition and passion have made EA one of the world's leading interactive entertainment companies", says Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, somehow keeping a straight face and potentially believing his own bullshit. www.ea.com/news/ea-anno...

This was posted a few days ago but I think it needs more traction. If you cook with gas and have asthma - read this and think about going electric.
Sammy Roth@sammyroth.bsky.social · 2w agoInsane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
We’re rewatching Ted Lasso before the new season comes out and I keep loving it just as much. There’s a serious lack of low stakes, radically optimistic storytelling in tv and film if you ask me. It doesn’t all have to be dark, intense and complex.
So excited for this, highly recommend keeping an eye out for this one if you want to find more chill, cozy or uplifting games to play 🙂↕️

I’ve struggled a lot with the news coming out of Berlin, but my heart breaks again with many muslim teens and adults making videos or sending messages feeling like they have to explicitly state their support and condemn the attack. They shouldn’t have to, they have nothing to do with all this.
We must normalize being extremely rude to people with surveillance cameras on their faces. It is the moral duty of every citizen to make them feel extremely unwelcome everywhere they go.

Filling in giant forms and having to process multiple 100 page documents of information on subjects I have no clue about really makes me reconsider if I’m dyslexic. The dyscalculia probably doesn’t help either 💀

Nederland heeft enorm veel datacenters. Die vreten stroom en verbruiken enorme hoeveelheden water. Dus loopt ons land tegen netcongestie op en stroomtekorten en wordt nu ook aan burgers gevraagd vooral zuinig te doen met water. Alles is een kwestie van keuzes en prioritering. nos.nl/nieuwsuur/ar...

Onze Nederlandse buren slaan elkaar kort en klein, smijten met de inventaris en ramen en deuren en gooien overal afval. De Iraanse, Afghaanse en Marokkaanse buren zeggen altijd gedag, vegen de straat en lenen gerust gereedschap uit of zamelen in voor de voetbalclub. Verder: exact wat Toos zegt.
Toos Minkhorst@toosminkhorst.bsky.social · 4w agoIk weet een ding heel zeker, dat ik van diverse witte Nederlandse buren heel veel overlast heb ondervonden en helaas is dat nog steeds. Van alle mensen van buitenlandse komaf in de straat heb ik nog nooit last gehad..
