It's extremely funny that You Can See Everything, a movie that's about the purpose of documentaries as much as it is a documentary, is getting criticized for not being enough of a documentary

STAT@statnews.com

“'You Can See Everything' is a hilarious, thrilling, fascinating, beautiful piece of art. What it certainly is not is a documentary, and it’s dangerous to pretend that it is,” writes Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. https://bit.ly/4Bk2nDJ

with another inside baseball week comes another subscriber drive! 5,800 is imminently achievable and unlocks a goal I’m extremely excited about: an annual, physical zine of our best stories aftermath.site/aftermath-su...

For this fall edition of Inside Baseball Week, we're also running a sale: 25% off an annual subscription to our Reader and Member tiers aftermath.site/aftermath-subs...

I know this barely helps when nobody has work, but I see people doomspiraling about the video games industry when there are so many cool games to play and there will be many more cool games to come. The industry power players collapsing on themselves can't stop that, can't stop creativity.

I just played a game where penguins can wander around eldritch ruins and squak at suffering humans, and then immediately switched to one where I ran my own bookstore. Biddy Blas exists. That's just my experience over the past week.

Is this that October surprise I've heard so much about

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Saw Wicker. It's a must-see movie in the theater, but only if you buy the Group of Horny Middle Aged Women VIP experience.

Every three years, cultural discourse is like "why monster fucking now" based on the tamest shit you've ever seen. Anyway, going to see Wicker this weekend.

The best thing about You Can See Everything is that it's selling out everywhere, which means there are people who are seeing *this* as their first Nathan Fielder project. Imagine not knowing that key piece of info going in!! What is your brain like? Are you okay??

Look, I can't wait to see Olivia Coleman get fucked by the Wicker Man but that's just Alexander Skarsgard, an objectively good-looking man, in cool prosthetics.

Ethan Klein dressing up his wife and mistress as Thing 1 and Thing 2 while he was Cat in the Hat for Halloween and knowing his wife didn't know is a level of evil that almost enters the same zip code as his wife leaving a desk job to terrorize Palestinians

I wanted to read an obituary but instead I got a full-screen ad for some sparkling liquor.

RIP Tom Skerritt, a reliable and enduring actor who you probably remember from...everything, basically. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Was very worried for Bioware after Veilguard and the Saudi deal so this doesn't surprise me but it really fucking sucks!!

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Okay but... do we even next-gen at this point. I know it's the expectation and it gives the platform holders a new product but... why? What would it offer besides maybe some new chips we can't afford and upscaling AI?

We still don't even know what defines *this* generation besides everything that went wrong with the corporations themselves and I guess the attempted reliance on cloud and subscriptions. And that's not hardware, as you might notice.

The whole point of Fortnite crossovers is that they're weird and uncanny and completely out of their original context. Sometimes that's funny. Sometimes it's just weird.

It's pretty amusing that billionaires have this mindset that they deserve the power and money because they "work hard" and then turn around and use AI, the laziest way to work ever created.

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

Nikki from OBSESSION joins FORTNITE tomorrow. You wished for this...

Finally digging into the Chainsaw Awards nominations and having the realization that Bryan Fuller is in "Best First Feature" because he's never directed a movie before.

The only two characters that appear on here twice are Anakin/Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi. Anakin and Darth Vader are basically two different characters and Obi Wan is played by two actors with different interepretations of the material. Otherwise everybody gets one!

What is coolness? Sometimes it's a vibe. Sometimes it's action. Sometimes it's having hope in the face of impossible odds. Sometimes it's whether you did war crimes or not.

This came across my feed. What people don't understand about social media marketing in 2026 is that you don't do it for conversions. Most platforms deprioritize links and people watch short-form video to scroll. Anybody who's telling you that social media = link clicks is lying to you.

I've been in a ton of newsrooms and this has never been standard practice? Ever??!

Just an update here: I tried emailing multiple USA Today editors, reporters and PR people numerous times for more clarity about the use of @nbedera.bsky.social's quotes, and received zero replies. They did, however, give this vague statement to @wamc.org: www.wamc.org/news/2026-10...

Replying to @carlivelocci.com

yeah the problem is definitely a devastated and badly automated media and most certainly not highly-consolidated corporations mass producing lowest-common-denominator derivative cack in the pursuit of bottomless quarterly growth

It's so, so funny when execs whine about the media as if we have any power left and they hold all the power.

Activision believes there’s a “Call of Duty tax” on the way the series is covered by games media these days, according to an executive. vgc.news/news/the-cal...

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

Since the internet has been poisoned by algorithms boosting strong emotional reactions to events over reality, I have a plan. Let's put as many middling, boring takes out into the internet as possible.
