Yeah, unfortunately we’re at a point where people are asking Grok to explain tweets to them.

American students are falling behind, and the most common explanations overlook the main problem, Idrees Kahloon argues.

America Is Sliding Toward Illiteracy

Declining standards and low expectations are destroying American education.

The “You’re 12” tweet is maybe the most accurate post of all time.

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

(It doesn't work like that lol)

House of Guinness has that good old Starz kind of flavor if that’s something you’re in the mood for.

One of the most unhinged reactions I’ve seen towards a good opinion in a long time. Sorry you had to deal with that bud.

“Why do you hate the Yankees?” Uh, I have a heart that holds love for my fellow man.

Genuinely the early AC games would pick some of the best locales. This canceled game could’ve carried that tradition.

Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Yeah you were definitely right about the VO adding depth to it. I bounced off a few times off the PSP version but can’t get enough of this on the Switch.

Matt Kim @lawoftd.bsky.social · 7d

The VO makes a huge difference!

Matt Kim @lawoftd.bsky.social · 7d

Can’t wait to read your thoughts on it! I can’t get over how modern and classic it feels all at once.

That’s another one I’ve been trying to play on the Vita, but given how great the remake is, I’ll probably check out the newer version of that.

Matt Kim @lawoftd.bsky.social · 7d

Definitely worth picking up!

Hyperbole aside, I’ve had a bit of an itch to get into some fantasy recently and was considering getting back into the Game of Thrones books, but jumping into FFT has been much more enjoyable.

Played Final Fantasy Tactics nonstop since yesterday. Is this the best Final Fantasy game ever?

Getting into MLS from the Premier League has highlighted why I immediately understood the blood feud-like rivalry in the Prem compared to the much tamer, “Good game, everyone” stuff in MLS. Before PL soccer, my biggest sports fandom was the Korean national team and its blood feud with Japan.

Let me tell you, there’s something really pleasant about watching a super competitive game in the morning with coffee and breakfast.
