hm yes let’s ignore BDS and review both the most perfunctory AND most microsoft thing possible, halo. Surely that will save games criticism.
Black leaders across the South have expressed a visceral shock in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. But as the surprise wears off, a sense of isolation has begun to set in among some. 🔗 politi.co/4vSW46T

Crashes my car into a brick wall because I couldn't solve the captcha in time to re-up my glasses subscription.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · last mo.Did you hear “prescription glasses?” No, no, we said “subscription glasses.”
Keep thinking about this article and where I fell off with first light (collect 100,000 gems, Bond!)
Ed Smith@edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social · last mo.A new article from me about James Bond as a sadomasochistic, imperial and fantasy figure, and First Light as a game that cuts off his past.

Movies That Fuck: A List for Sensualists and Perverts
I was on Bluesky recently (bad idea — social media rots your brain and spirit) and I saw some young in’ say that Robert Eggers film, Nosferatu, was for real perverts. And it so perturbed me I decided ...

Bullet Points@bpmonthly.bsky.social · last mo.This week on the site, @edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social on 007 First Light and James Bond. "He takes the pain that we’ve created as a country and gives it back to us as visceral, spectacular pleasure." bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/07/03/h...
really appreciate the sympathy and listings people have sent so far! and if you need writing, research, interviews, or editing in the near future I will have a lot more time starting in August to take on more one off projects.
autumn wright 🍂@autumn-wright.com · last mo.just sent the email ending the lease at my apartment of 4 years to move next month AND got word I'm losing my part-time editing job that's covered my cost of living for 3 years so uh hey who needs a copy editor?
our government is run by the most virulent bigoted misogynists in recent history, who are part of a hateful and swelling movement, and you're worried that your life is boring and awkward?
The Walrus@thewalrus.ca · last mo.Straight women are often portrayed as people who must endure male desire rather than enthusiastically embrace it. Cultural critic Phoebe Maltz Bovy argues that feminism has lost sight of a simple fact: plenty of women genuinely want men. https://thewalrus.ca/are-there-any-straight-women-left/
[Guy who's only ever seen The Mandelorian and Grogu, watching Backrooms] "I bet the Mandelorian and Grogu are in there somewhere"
I honestly think Summer Streets are the best events in NYC, and possibly the world. 10 miles of car free walking, riding, and jogging through all of Manhattan, completely free. Just unbeatable.

I have never had a flight that didn’t leave from the ass end of the terminal. Those other gates are just paintings of doors. This is my only conspiracy theory.
South of Midnight was the first time I saw my peers talk about the South as something beautiful and worth seeing. That game did something I didn't think was possible; it was a love letter to a region I believe we should fight for, and for once, my peers got to see the beauty and magic that I see.
REVIEW: 'South Of Midnight' Is A Love Letter To An Overlooked Community - But Why Tho?
Compulsion Games has created a love letter to the South, to its beauty and its stories in South of Midnight.

Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 2mo agoIn 2015, Glenn Beck fumed that it was "truly obscene" and beneath "the dignity of that office" for Obama to sit down for an interview with YouTube creators. In 2026, Beck hailed Trump as "remarkable" for hosting a garish cage fight on the White House lawn. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

The problem with the medium of videogames: everything is a 7/10 because putting out 10/10s requires risking it being a 3/10. This is a no risk no reward industry. BORING.
We (a team of 2-ish) started this game about 2 years ago. Made the pitch demo in 3 months & then took the next few months off while I pitched it. Since Jan 2025 we've been nonstop, & now it's out tomorrow!

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot
Trying to sell people on BDS is funny. "Howww... can I cover *some* videogames but not *all* videogames??" You're skipping the several dozen phone and steam games that come out every day already, you'll be ok. You simply do not have to be utterly beholden to power.
i'll laugh about the halo thing when microsoft stops providing the tech stack for a genocide
That kid will not survive the robot uprising. Zero survival instinct.
