Everything I know about Pat McAfee has been learned against my will, but finding out that he compared being called "corny" and "creepy" by a couple of Utah students to being assassinated like Charlie Kirk is legit hilarious

ESPN rushed to Pat McAfee's defense while the University of Utah apologized over a student Instagram video that triggered the ESPN star. awfulannouncing.com/college-foot...

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

incredible strategic error by Pat McAfee to reveal he is deeply bothered by relatively mild mockery from college students despite a key component of his job being "standing on a stage in front of college students for 3 hours a week"

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.

Walter Koenig, was, of course, Chekov. But if you want to honor his memory by watching some of his best(sorry) work, please check out his appearance as the evil Psi-Cop "Bester" in Babylon 5. He's a fantastic presence and a great foil to all of "our heroes." Fair skies, Mr. Koenig.

I've seen tons of folks who have guested, panelled, or ran games for PAX and other ReedPop events make a ton of noise about this, also the same people have their panels rejected or tossed out. Or would be refreshing to see publishers and vendors make noise about this for once.

Deeply saddened to see that the programs that #PAXTogether had, are now gone. Not even mentioned on the PAX website. So fucking disheartening and I really wanna know why @officialpax.bsky.social thought it'd be a good idea to get rid of them

There were already a LOT of reasons to not like Ramaswamy. Here are a few more.

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”

Abdul Syed didn't vote to send $250 million to the Muslim Brotherhood. Mike Rogers did. Abdul wants universal healthcare and fully funded schools. Mike wants hundreds of billions on foreign wars. The choice is clear — vote Abdul for Senate. 👊🏽❤️

We're inching closer and closer to him dropping the n-word. It's only a matter of time.

Trump on El-Sayed: "We can't him in the United States-- we can't have him in the United States Senate. I look so forward to Michigan. I think it's gonna be wild. Because he's a total phony. He's a little phony. He's a jihadist. He's a vicious, violent jihadist."

Another excellent reason to hate Sark and Texas. This will apply to any team using this shit including my beloved Sooners. I'm really at the tipping point for my college football fandom. Gambling apps, the 24 team playoff, TV deals actively ruining the sport, etc. I'm bout ready to just quit.

AI: it’s for fucking snakes

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Just been such a revolution in my worldview to realise that people like Musk actually believe this, this isn't just the nonsense they feed the rubes so they can do coldly rational mercantile calculations in smokey rooms among themselves. No. It's rubes all the way down, they're that stupid.

i don't think we can come to a reasonable compromise with this

The publisher behind the popular product 'Video games' has cancelled all production of video games. Again. For like the third time this month. It's absolute madness, and all of it because the dumbest motherfuckers who have ever lived are betting society itself on glorified autocorrect.

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...

It's a bit early but I'm REALLY hoping to catch up with more folks this year at PAX Unplugged. I'll be around Thursday afternoon/night before parking my butt in the Freeplay area the rest of the weekend with the crew. I'll squawk my location in the mornings!

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"
