Imagine a small concert venue, hosting 900 people, give or take. That’s about the number of passengers and crew on a small cruise ship, or of students attending the average U.S. public high school. A group that size collectively holds more wealth than the bottom half of the country combined, because that’s roughly how many billionaires live in the U.S. But a new bill is asking the people in that hypothetical cruise ship, concert venue, or high school to chip in, and to bankroll multi-thousand-dollar checks for millions of middle-class Americans.

The article's behind a paywall, but it sounds like even Fortune is realizing this situation is untenable.

Do you know how much gay art I could commission for $3k

Listen I know why it’s called Sausage-party, I just still think that sucks.

Oh Jesus really

the guys trying to call DoD the "department of war" are getting very prickly about people calling their war a "war"

Epstein Files Reveal Gaming Connections, Plans To Buy Activision Stock Jeffrey Epstein was apparently interested in owning a share of Activision because of Call of Duty.

"Edutainment is for p*****s," wrote Epstein. "It doesn't work. Once kids catch on that you are trying to teach them something, they shut down. We have to keep the boobs and guns and profits. You see how much video games are making these days? F*** educational reform. We need educational subversion!"

he sounds boring

The games industry needs to fully divest from the department of defense. It’s the only ethical option.

I'm in this too. Tickets still available if you want to hear us all talk comics.

look! A cool rock. A picture of a rock from another fucking planet! Beamed to us from a fucking robot buggy on MARS. Fucking MARS. We put a robot buggy on fucking Mars and we get to look at them.

What a time to be alive.

Never forget the good stuff.

Fucking Mars, man.

My hand holding the box for the Marathon controller.

Totally forgot to share that my Marathon controller arrived! I haven't opened it yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

Oh wow it’s gorgeous

Went to my local Komeda’s Coffee to check out the Pokopia collab!

She’s RIGHT

I mean ok. It WOULD be camp.

I feel like anyone who has even a vague understanding of the history of conflict and war should be able to see how absolutely batshit insane this all is.

This feels like a ”quiet part loud” thing. Dead troops are a problem for an aggressive government. Dead civilians can be used to justify the aggression, so they’re not a concern, maybe even helpful. It’s just that it’s important to PRETEND to be protective of your own civilians.

no no no no no

I think what's struck so many people about the White House CoD meme--or at least what struck me--is how, unlike Pokemon or Halo, there's way this one, in a fucked-up way, makes "sense," which says as much about games as it does about the 12-year-olds in our government.

Believe it or not this one is inspired by northern iranian outfits bc not all middle eastern cultures are in the desert

The type of clip you see presented as an evidence at war crime trials.

I light of Buzzfeed's AI nonsense, I think it's most important to support the affected artists.

The creator of Chikn Nuggit is on BSky, she's also on Insta and Tumblr. When you have to turn your back on something you love due to circumstances out of your control you need all the support you can get

I anticipate your thesis

almost a new game idea... but what can one "extract" from these dudes' bodies? ah well

Transphobes are losers

Very rude of Pokopia to come out the week before I have to be a professional adult
