I had a great time at the Olympics in Paris last year but a huge problem was there weren't any Pokémon around, glad to see Z-A finally address this

I think Pokemon Legends Z-A is really neat and shows that Game Freak is actually cognizant of what needs to change about these games mashable.com/review/pokem...

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Nevertheless, Sensei’s most important moment nearly passes unrecognized. When Bob laments the trouble he’s brought to Sensei’s door, Sensei softly chides: “We’ve been laid siege to for hundreds of years. It’s not your fault. Don’t get selfish.” The quiet denouncement of Bob’s martyrdom complex points to people of color’s self-sufficiency.

Journalism still works. 6 days after I published this story, the main family featured in it got a letter that the utility is no longer seeking to seize their land.

"I'm so happy I can barely speak!" says Rizzo, who suspects our piece resulted in the turnabout.

the best VGOTY compliment I ever got, which I've been thinking about a lot recently, was a private message saying something like "you do good crit without being pretentious and headass about it"

VGOTY is old enough now that I don't really have the text committed to memory anymore so sometimes I'll re-read something in it and be surprised and impressed
