I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.

Returning to that "Big cat Bastetlizabeth goes on a talk show" concept.

Basically a way to draw a bit of muscle worship but in a sorta-wholesome way I guess. They seem like they're good friends :)

The problem is that this format is baked into police procedurals which makes law enforcement appear far more effective than they are, and both more violent (cops pull guns way less often in real life) and less violent at the same time.
Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.
Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

If it doesn't than we simply don't have the self-respect to maintain a democratic republican form of government.
Godwilling this becomes an albatross around their necks not just for this administration but for a decade
President Trump on Wednesday raised the estimate of his planned White House ballroom, saying that the project would cost $300 million — up from his initial claim of $200 million.

Admitting that you care about something, or you're genuinely upset, will be always the cardinal sin of internet politics, which is why the commentariat will always have contempt for BSky.

I'll say it again, you either think that it's unacceptable for a State to deny 33% of its population basic self-determination or self-government or it's not, and if you do, then you're not going to be convinced by these third-order arguments about diaspora political and social influence.

One very notable thing about that sermon was that it made no actual attempt to grapple with Israeli policy; the symbolic role of the Jewish State to *us* matters more than any actual actions taken by the State of Israel or the impact on real human beings in Israel and Palestine.
I really don't think Jewish leaders appreciate how quickly the political ground is changing around Israel.

Elliot Cosgrove's Shabbat sermon — where he said Mamdani trying to reassure Jews was an implicit confession that they had something to fear from his mayoralty — really drove this home.
Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

I've been thinking a lot about @bretdevereaux.bsky.social's discussion of how a lot of Late Roman Republic attempts at reform involved codifying previously de facto political norms; which failed to help because it was the loss of the underlying social fabric that mattered, not the letter of the law.
see the control on pardons is supposed to be "if the president blatantly pardons a criminal ally, he gets impeached"

all of this comes back to the failure of the Republican Party and Congress to have even a modicum of public decency.

This is some real vintage pre-1914 "the working class cares nothing for the nationalist prattle of the bourgeoisie and will never raise arms against their comrades" kind of cope.
You guys the comrades on here are anxious to let you know they don’t care about the White House AT ALL because they are not privileged like you. Meanwhile their friend is like “pfft hold my beer, I am so advanced I am indifferent to 9/11. Top that, bitches.”

The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

It’s so disorienting to have Kash Patel doing the presser on this because he looks like a guy who constantly has five leg parlays going
Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was arrested early Thursday morning as part of an FBI sports betting gambling probe, sources tell ESPN. The Eastern District of New York and FBI director Kash Patel will hold a press conference at 10 am ET to announce arrests from investigation.

Have they even bothered to do a background check on the workers coming and going? Or the companies sourcing the material? Or received a security assessment from someone?
