Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
The amount of attention to detail Mike puts into these are staggering.

Last night my kid suggested we go see a special one-day-only showing of Jurassic Park in a 4DX theater! Moving seats, wind and rain effects, lighting effects… it was really cool. When the brachiosaur sneezed, we got sprayed with water. It was her first time seeing JP in a theater as well. So great!
This is one of the funniest threads I’ve read in ages. At no point does OP break, and the landlords, well, www.reddit.com/r/Landlord/c...
Robin Beanland@robinbeanland.bsky.social · 2w agoThank you for all the lovely comments on the Season 21 frontend music for @seaofthievesgame I actually came up with the initial banjo riff 12 years ago 😮 I always liked it, but could never find a place for it in the game…So nice to finally find a home for it. music.apple.com/gb/album/wea...
Propose to your own special pirate! 😍 How cute are these ring boxes? Inspired by Sea Of Thieves treasure, these boxes fully open and can hold a ring! I cant get over how cute they are and how perfect they work too!! 😍 #seaofthieves #bemorepirate

Hey @seaofthieves.com, thanks for sending insiders this survey and seeking feedback. But, hoo boy, somebody needs to review these things for typos and grammatical issues before clicking Send. This is just one example.
We watched Innerspace last night and along with marveling at the scale of the sfx and ambitious story, for the first time I realized that @robertpicardo.bsky.social played 3 roles: The cowboy, a confused Martin Short, and Martin Short pretending to be the cowboy. Wow! Cc: @thejoedante.bsky.social
What’s an example of perfect casting?

I don't NEED a Hershey's Chocolate Milk Container Phone, but I also kind of do.
Just got outta the TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 35th anniversary rerelease and Jesus Christ, man. What a movie. They had to do all that shit for real. They had to fly that helicopter under an overpass. They had to blow up that building. They had to find an actor who could turn into liquid metal.
Whoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.
This lawsuit is pretty fascinating. How can the PlayStation store have buttons labeled “Purchase” and “Buy Now”, but then argue that reasonable consumers understand that they aren’t purchasing the game, but rather a (revocable) license?? www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

It’s “not plausible” to suggest people believe they’re “obtaining ownership”…

“Upon reflection, I've come to believe that quality software is not about how many features something has or how quickly it is built but rather how cared for it is by the designers, developers, and product people who work on it.” 🫡
Brett Codes@brettcodes.bsky.social · 2mo agoI wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.
Watch this, and definitely don’t NOT watch it! 🧠
Al Yankovic@alyankovic.bsky.social · 4w ago“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4
Child's Play covers the cost of a Game Tech to start but once the hospital sees how valuable the job is it becomes "operationalized" and they begin paying for it so we can fund a new Game Tech someplace else. Curious what a Game Tech is? Check out this amazing video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRI3...

@childsplaycharity.bsky.social · 4w agoBig news… The Gaming and Tech role at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt is officially operationalized, and he's crushing it. Having a player 2 is giving kids real moments of joy during tough stays. Thanks for supporting the power of play.
