Frankly, a severely underrated game once you get past its lack of the small-fry design nods that every good Immersive Sim gets (eg, there are telescopes but you can't look into them). A really great example of tight, purposeful design

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

The Young Republicans at my school in the Eighties were. The Young Republicans over in Dartmouth were..."deplorables" isn't strong enough. "Abominations unto the Lord" begins to approach how bad they were.

I don't know Olivia Reingold by sight and so it was very cheering indeed to discover that nobody wants to be her friend or even casual acquaintance ever since she wrote the piece alleging children in Gaza weren't just starving but also sick and that meant the starvation was no big deal.

Politico received an initial tip that a Taylor staffer had a swastika neatly pinned to his cubicle during a zoom call. When confronted, the congressman’s press office pretty implausibly sought to present the situation as a police matter, and Politico went along with that in its headline and lede.

This stunning piece by @eafreem.bsky.social exemplifies the kind of "books writing" ORB wants to publish: it's written around and through and about A Book, but is less a "review" than an effort to understand what it means to live in the world (in Oakland) and how books are part of the way we do it
