"Leaflets distributed on the Stalinallee Which stated that the people Had squandered the confidence of the government And could only win it back By redoubled work. Would it not in that case Be simpler for the government To dissolve the people And elect another?" -Bertolt Brecht

Yissss

Gary Lineker was a football presenter and dared to voice an opinion and was fired. This anchor of one of the BBC's flagship political shows writes in a fascist rag and it's no problem at all. The BBC has zero credibility.

The ultrarich seem to have convinced themselves and quite a lot of other people that they are the engine of society, that without their discerning deployment of capital, nothing would happen. That's obviously horseshit. They are using capital to exploit cultures that generate opportunity and value.

The big argument against taxing the ultra-rich is that they will just go away and take their money with them. You know what, at this point, why not just let them? Why should we want these fuckers influencing our societies, driving up prices and pivoting the productive economy towards luxuries?

dear internet publications please put easily visible dates on your stories, this is important for many reasons, why the hell have places stopped

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

*taps jar*

lmfao

Never been in the slightest bit tempted. Legalise it, regulate it, massive warning labels, regulate advertising, treat addiction as a medical and therapuetic issue. Begging this country to have an ounce of compassionate, evidence-based drugs policy

calling trump “incompetent” alone would’ve been enough to trigger him, but “he’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” is what will truly send him over the edge (gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...)

This is an excellent idea. @valvesoftware.com please do this and fix two massive games industry issues at once.

trying to help a Hinge match understand that a digital copy of their brain being uploaded doesn't mean they're immortal now because they don't "get" to be the copy and their meat body will still die someday and really understanding why Catherine just gave up trying to explain that to Simon in SOMA

Hmm. Consciousness as the side-effect of evolved event-forecasting tool? Hmm.

I remember long distance phone charges, local toll charges, and later, roaming charges (early days of cell phones). One month when I NEEDED to spend a lot of time talking to a friend in another state I had a $400 phone bill.

Cervical cancer - no deaths among women 20-24.

HIV treatment, HPV vaccine, vastly improved cancer treatments, the ECHR, the HRA and the Equality Acts.

I think this is a pretty lukewarm take but it’s instructive: ME2 has the better narrative design; ME1 has the better writing.

Après BioWare, le poulet.

the end goal of thatcherism?

The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves.

RIP Mass Effect thank you for introducing me to lesbians

📣Calling all women and femme writers📣 I am looking to commission around 10 heartfelt essays surrounding video game criticism. If this sounds like something you are down to do them read on and I urge you to apply. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I know it's a meme but, I'll admit, this one got me. 😔

"A group of female officers will supply you with the key to the Challenger 3. One note: its carved from horn." "That will depress me, sir." "Really? Why?" "It's the horn-key tank women, sir. They give me the horn-key tank blues." " .... Get out."

We come back to the idea of Execs who really don't understand art or why people make art, in any way, finding ways to absolutely annihilate those that do, in a death of a thousand cuts and then one big 400-person cut. It's heartbreaking. The western games industry kills a NIntendo every year.

And as an aside - you should not doubt how fucking uncool D&D was in 1998 as a game, and how poisoned that particular well had been for a while. Baldur's Gate turned that around, and if you do want a road from D&D then to D&D now, it does strike me that Bioware's needs more credit than they get.

I love writing video games. It’s one of the best jobs in the world. I just cannot stand the current shape of the industry we have to do it in.

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...

Prediction: cos new IP can't reliably cut through in the gamapocalypse, we're gonna see a lot of hidden-AI remasters of beloved games, as desperate devs try to make money off their existing catalogue. (It's already happening, isn't it?)

Here is the church And here is the steeple Open the doors And see Tommy Teepell

When filming Young Frankenstein in the 70’s, Mel Brooks tracked down the original designer for the 1931 Frankenstein (Kenneth Strickfaden) with the intention of politely asking the old man to do a quick consultation on the lab equipment to try to reasonably replicate it...

Hungarian art historian, Barki, was watching ‘Stuart Little’ in 2009 when he spotted the painting ‘Sleeping Lady with Black Vase’ by Bereny, hanging on set. A set designer had bought the painting for $500. The artwork vanished after a 1928 exhibition in Budapest and was presumed lost after WWII ❤️

2002: PC Gaming is dying (drought). 2026: PC Gaming is dying (flood).

The takeaway is that intentional design has become even more important. Don't make a game anyone could have made. Make a game that bleeds your personal madness.

Incalculable aura loss
