The Justice Department is drawing up contingency plans to potentially intervene in next week’s midterm elections, three national security officials tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-prep-...

Let me share some positive news for a change: Despite all the gloomy headlines today, my understanding is that there are multiple paths actively being explored that would save Arkane Lyon. Anything can happen during negotiations, but at this point I'd be surprised if the studio is shut down.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck

genuinely i think this is about half of what's going on in my town. the seniors are alone in their houses getting radicalized by AI slop

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

My mute/block list on this site is reaching what I used to have over on twitter. Has made scrolling to keep up with things a lot more palatable.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

People are getting angry at Steam (finally) for the AI slop. I've been angry for years for the hundreds of rape simulators, multiple of which you can play as Hitler.

For everyone who tried to tell me this weirdo wasn't a plant.

One shot upgrading my MOBO/CPU/RAM and installed my first AIO. I r a reel adawlt

GIVE ME THE DODGER TEARS AND I SHALL GUZZLE THEM. Get wrekt. Dynasty over. Let's go Brewers!!!

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman were paid $163,000 to lobby the White House and DOJ for a pardon for bank fraudster Rajendra Parikh, per new filing I found:

Video Game developers having an all-timer in 2026. Non-stop amazing games; if only the publishers weren't sucking ass in response.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Fuck me, they said the stupid part out loud, proudly.

Hegseth influence operation targets upcoming elections

This thread illustrates, in horrifying detail, that when the media uncritically reports statements of the Trump administration, it's not just failing in its job, it's actively contributing to the evils the administration propagates.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is bloody fantastic. https://playday.one/2026/10/13/castlevania-belmonts-curse-review/

Corporations publicly celebrating LGBT+ equality is a good thing and I am glad to see it coming back.

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Let's get ready for GTA VI, by playing... GTA V on Xbox Series X youtu.be/q-NN0NiEMzA

And. For the love of Mario. Not every person who plays a game via a sub service would buy that game were it not included in that service. Just like that silly math that floated around last year about what Call of Duty "lost" being on GP by multiplying GP players by the full price of the game.

And it isn't straight cannibalism if a person paying for Game Pass plays an offered game through the service. Please. Let's be serious people. Or at least try to be.

Game Pass Ultimate costs $23 a month. Let's not say that Gears was 'free' with Game Pass, ok? Game Pass isn't free. The framing is ludicrous.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

How is this website becoming as miserable as Twitter? It's just less racist/bigoted.

my body is a machine that turns [seeing an AI generated youtube thumbnail] into [clicking "do not recommend channel"]

I'm guesting this week, come join us! youtu.be/e25UnZzlyP4

I see the shitty chud side of games discourse is seeing that Gears of War: E-Day has female characters and pride flags in MP and is now flipping over to the "it stinks" engagement farming. It's extra stupid after they stream themselves loving the game.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

getting mad at the pope for not thinking the chatbot has a soul is easily the funniest thing I've read all week

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

YouTuber and MinnMax Host Jacob Geller accused of sexual abuse www.resetera.com/threads/16...

The mix of seeing people returning to Twitter for its fake engagement and how miserable my timeline is becoming has me ready to drop social media altogether, shit sucks!

Who knew that Gears of War had aliens in it? Also, what is an embargo? www.theguardian.com/games/2026/s...

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Looks like SEGA joined the disc-to-ditial program on Xbox, neat.
