BREAKING Brazil's defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro refuses to recognize President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory on Sunday. "It is impossible to acknowledge the result," he said from Brasilia, adding that "I am going to request the annulment of these elections"

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Check out how easy this is.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

What does this mean for Jim Caviezel? 😂😂

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I disagree. I think it’s her fault. If she didn’t want to be in everything then she shouldn’t be so cool and talented and good in everything that she’s in.

I spoke to Debra Wilson for two hours about childhood trauma, finding God, working with Kojima, and why she’s sick of seeing her face in everything too. www.gamespot.com/articles/it-...

It's hard to overstate how dumb and utterly amoral this guy is.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

baldur's gate, neverwinter nights, knights of the old republic, jade empire, dragon age, mass effect. I have lived years in their games. it is hard to overstate the impact they've had on me. I don't do what I do today without these games.

I voted yesterday. Voted for Talarico, Hinojosa, Goodwin and a whole bunch of other people that I hope will work to better fund Texas public schools and reverse so much of the bigoted actions of Greg Abbot, Dan Patrick and their ilk. Texas needs a big change, and I’m hopeful we are about to get it.

I love that Konami, who had all but disappeared from the gaming space for years and years, had come back with such ferocity and integrity.

I’ve been pretty out of the loop lately and busy with life stuff, but I’d just like to say that Elden Ring: Nightreign remains one of the greatest games ever made, and Gears of War E-Day is pretty great.

Bloomberg: Epic Games is going all in on AI as an unannounced shooter featuring Marvel & Star Wars characters is implementing an "AI first" production model "generated with full AI workflows". "No more hand-written code", said one of the directors to staff. ➡️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Embarrassing as it is that Senator Schmitt fumbled his initial line of questioning so completely, it was waaay more embarrassing to see him double down after he was proven wrong.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

I watched the first half of Vivarium maybe 7 or 8 years ago? Whenever it was new. I am just now watching the second half. I did not start back at the beginning.

Well Dweller is exactly like Kyle Thompson’s other games. Which is to say that is exceptional in every way. Pure dark comedic brilliance and an absolute joy to play with a charming and lovely aesthetic.

Kanye is performing in football stadiums. Kanye, who says he loves Hitler, who wear a full klan uniform, who sold swastika shirts. Kanye is performing in stadiums, but Macklemore can’t because he thinks it’s wrong that kids are being murdered. Billionaires are the problem.

Good

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com

Ed Sheeran’s tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos Tuesday when four of his supporting acts — including his touring band — abruptly quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Indeed.

I'm a little confused by the argument that if the AI CEOs were REALLY concerned they'd shut down their servers -- isn't "businessmen continue selling product they know is bad for society because it is extremely lucrative" a pretty common story?

Fun fact. Astral Ascent was a key factor in inspiring me to start this blog, which I had thought about for years. No one was talking about it and it drove me nuts! Outside of Hades and Hades 2, its my favorite roguelite of the 2020s. It's got so many interesting elements and great core gameplay.

Astral Ascent & Luftrausers are free on Epic Games Store. Shogun Showdown is the next free title buff.ly/vCz6HKh

My list right now would be 1. Resident Evil Requiem 2. 007 First Light 3. Resonance: A Plague Tale 4. Mina the Hollower 5. 33 Immortals Forza is probably actually top of the list but I don’t want to put it on there. And Luna Abyss is incredible and deserves way more love.
