microsoft funds genocide, fills their dev pipelines with ai slop and throws all the people who actually make the video games into the street. i cannot imagine, even if you are politically sheltered and just want your treats, ever buying and supporting an xbox game. theres no future here

Sometimes a writer, aspiring podcaster, someone please tell me how to turn that into money.. |He/Him.|
I think there's two main drivers of this: A desperate working class that sees the rich make money out of thin air/cheating, and then fall for the idea they can do the same via speculative "investment" of corporate products And, of course, consumerism marketed as "investment" towards the first
Why? Why must everything we enjoy be sealed up with a "grade"? I get baseball cards being put in plastic because you can still enjoy both sides of the card. But a Blu-ray?
It's very funny that all of the people angry about the government grocery stores are trying to get in digs by revealing that they haven't shopped for their own groceries in decades.
suspiciously green bananas is sadly one of the funniest things i’ve read in awhile
every single time this happens the next reporter should ask the same question. and then the next. and the next. he’s not going to cut off access. he craves attention too much for that. call his fucking bluff.
Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"
Please answer and share this question, Other than Wolverine Who are currently the 3 most well known X-Men
Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.
Look, his way to go about it was wrong, but his desire to free the world from a pre-determined fate is fully understandable.
Name a villain who was actually right.
I get where this is coming from, but I think in this specific instance, a a Vulcan wouldn't feel the need for small talk and we could just ride the elevator in silence, literally my dream social interaction.
Any Vulcan. That would be the most silent and awkward time possible. They would just sit there quietly judging me. It would be social anxiety to the highest level
1. This article is great, and you should read it 2. Another thing I think makes the Yglesias's of the world seem foolish is that there is an inherent assumption that voters are largely rational actors who are rewarding politicians for taking moderate positions.
One of Matt Yglesias’s defining political positions is that Democrats should be more moderate in order to attract more votes. But moderation is a moving target, as evidenced by the rapid change in public opinion on Israel-Palestine over the last few years.
I really enjoyed Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It was also wild to be in a theater filled with people again. Our show at 6:45 was sold out, and even though our local theater rarely shows anything past 7pm on a weeknight, they had added a 7:30 and an 8pm showing. That hasn't happened anytime recently.
Season 15 of King of the Hill just premiered and an episode covers Hank getting scammed by someone using AI to impersonate Bobby. Safe to say AI hate has gone mainstream.
Rapidly becoming convinced that one major immediate impact of AI diffusion is a massive uptick in the sophistication and scale of scams and hacks. Seeing it everywhere.
It's smart in every way, and Gosling isn't just showing up to be the biggest name they had lying around. He signed up to be characters who thrive on the strength of the actor playing them. A pilot in Star Wars and Ghost Rider aren't the A-list for either studio. He's being smart here.
Gosling is doing Star Wars and Marvel because now he has the clout to basically make a movie happen by agreeing to star in it. He's able to dictate a lot about these projects because he is the lynch-pin for them. And increasing his fame means he can draw attention to smaller projects afterwards.
this is true but bugs bunny is also gay bugs bunny [checks notes] wait sorry motoko kusanagi is bisexual bugs bunny [checks notes] hold on that's also bugs bunny. motoko kusanagi is girl bugs bunny [checks notes] hold on that's also-
It's been such a treat seeing people find out the OG Motoko Kusanagi is just a gay Bugs Bunny

Despite the whining about “ historical accuracy,” the racist backlash to the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey is about the right wanting to justify racial hierarchy by projecting it into a past where it did not actually exist. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
If you don't know anything about Harmony Gold this sentence sounds fairly insane, but is actually factually correct in every aspect. I used to hate Harmony Gold on principle, but then last year I watched SDF Macross for the first time, and people not being able to just watch that show is a CRIME.
Harmony Gold is a crazy company because it's like if KitchenAid somehow became the western licensors of Gundam and kept saying they'd be doing something someday while blocking release of every Gundam thing
It's darkly funny that the pathway to ruin for this man is his inability to realize that while he has (unfortunately) become the President of the US, he is still unable to dictate what other countries will do, and that he looks weaker every time he tries.
“The United States of America is not a ‘PIGGYBANK’ for Europe, nor will we allow it to be! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that we will immediately initiate a 301 Investigation into the practice of ‘ROBBING’ American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer.”
No one under the age of 40 cares about these games except possibly as historical relics. Cool to see that movie execs still have no fucking clue about video games, yeah, just make deals for whatever, they'll all be hits!

We used to get a lot of these movies but not so many these days. I have a feeling that if they made one today it would have the kids learn the importance of business.
Hi I’m a business dad. I promised my kid I would show up to their extracurricular event but missed it because I had to do business at work. Now my kid is upset that I put business above them. I hope I don’t have to go through some sort of fantastical circumstances that change my sense of priorities
This is our society at this moment. The number cannot and will not go up forever, and the only possible answer for any need to force number to go up is layoffs. Sooner than later we're going to find out what happens when there is no one left to layoff.
mass layoffs at Pixar despite Toy Story 5 about to cross $1 billion at the box office. there is simply no amount of money that will make corporations happy enough to not upend people’s lives.
