This is some good advice right here that I think I should follow: skyboxcritics.com/2026/07/06/p...
Play old games: They're good and good for you
With prices skyrocketing and more and more bad news about contemporary video games every day, here's a suggestion: play old games!

Skybox gave me space to talk about decoupling your enjoyment of video games from the release schedule, by looking backwards at what's new to you. Emulate, mod original hardware, borrow, pirate, I don't care how you do it. There's more to games than a future filled with $1,000 consoles.

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

Brendan Carr of the FCC is the literal definition of a useful idiot. He can fuck all the way off with this nonsense — run your own fucking propaganda, guy.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Watching yesterday’s snowboarding PGS makes me feel better because multiple athletes are older than I am. There’s still time!
I appreciate the judge that is trying to make this happen, but I have no faith these fuckers will comply. All the administration has been doing is ignoring law, why would that change now
U.S. judge orders ICE chief to appear in court, threatens contempt ruling

I cannot emphasize how much “be the news” is the opposite of what I was taught about how to be a good journalist and strikes me as an excellent way to churn out elite solipsism that has nothing to do with the public interest and everything to do with self promotion www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

First sensible things these motherfuckers have felt since they put on those masks. We need to make it 100% clear that we will be coming for them. They will be identified, prosecuted, and imprisoned. And if formal justice falls short, they will nonetheless be hounded for the rest of their days.
Immigration agents are privately expressing hesitation about their deployments as they face growing backlash from lawmakers and civilians alike, according to a new report.
