I got my invite the same day AOC joined from my good buddy @gene.meme, who is one of the kindest people and best journalists in the world. I wanted one as soon as I could get one because the idea of a new Twitter but without the mastodon nonsense was very interesting!

thanks to Jim Sciutto of CNN for having me on
going live on cnn to talk pokémon’s 30th anniversary
Metacritic has only become more important as algorithms flatten and fracture the internet, but its authority relies on quality inputs from sources that are being hallowed out at an alarming rate.
the first area alone is worth it. perfect resident evil experience.

I finished Resident Evil Requiem NINE times. This is my definitive review.

it is deeply unfortunate that so many of our best thinkers are now at the mercy of their ability to sell their ideas through video in order to reach the widest audience, and I do not see any signs that the trend is going to reverse
this is how people want to consume content now
I've known this guy my whole life

Technically poor and hurried, devoid of the original's charm, and full of filler content and baffling changes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a 20/100, a 2/10, a one-star game.
It's a seismic miss that left me questioning my love for the series.
My review: www.gamerguides.com/yakuza-kiwam...
Kiwami 3 makes a poor first impression, especially if you are playing in English where during the recap of Kiwami 2 Yong Yea clearly flubs a line read and says "hingering" instead of "hindering" and they use that take.
So many have given to The Post Guild’s fundraising effort, and we are floored. But we also ask you to consider supporting the fundraiser for our international staff and staff in our bureaus who aren’t Guild eligible. They are absolutely vital to coverage. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
NYT headline: Trump Deletes Racist Video of Obamas After Outcry Subhed: The White House press secretary had dismissed criticism of the clip’s racist content as “fake outrage.” But later Friday, the clip disappeared from the president’s social media feed.
Good to see that we've moved past "racially tinged."
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
ripped off is such a good way to put it. anyway they laid off all my editors so i dunno what im going back to 🙃
this is lovely. and i’m personally moved by hearing how well people treated you despite it all. i have never forgiven them for never giving you and i the chance to work together. as ive said, ive always thought you as such a great ideas editor. it was my loss and their loss.
An outlet with the talent the Post has on hand, with the resources Bezos is able to pour into it, should not be doing layoffs of this scope and scale. Not just because, essentially, it doesn’t need to, but because any decision-maker who’s risen to the position of calling these shots should be smart enough to look at the paper and recognize that the value of the thing they have comes from its abundance: the various desks and experts and coverage areas that all work together to make the paper what it is. A lesser paper is not going to win more subscribers or bring the company more money. A narrow focus on a particular conception of politics, at a time when Trump and his ilk are using every avenue possible–the arts, the environment, healthcare, sports, and more–to foster their agenda will not serve readers or stand up to power. It’s just going to make the Post’s coverage worse, and its staff more overworked and unhappy, and the paper less relevant to readers who need a robust free press. Maybe this is what Bezos wants. It’s certainly what Trump and his administration want. Not just a worse paper, but a worse environment for journalism as a whole, with fewer jobs, less coverage to draw from, a shorter horizon to picture as young journalists imagine what their careers could be. Immiseration is one of the ruling class’ most powerful tools these days, and that feels like the only logic today’s layoffs have. They make the public less informed, and silence current and would-be journalists without the need for lawsuits and insults. Today’s cuts feel like a PR move as much as a corporate one, a reminder of the power of the rich, who can make worse so many lives without having to do anything, without even having to acknowledge it.
It's taken me all day to figure out what to say about today's WaPo layoffs, an unnecessary upending of the careers of hundreds of journalists, the paper itself, and the way millions of readers understand our current world

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated.
