I'm sorry but "The president appeared drowsy" is a god-tier caption here. Newspapers are good

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

biden was old and senile tho this attack wouldn't have worked if he didn't run for reelection
Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

NieR 3, a direct and immediate sequel to Automata, is a mobile gacha game that was taken offline and is totally unplayable today.
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

Also, just mentioning that Microsoft are still a BDS boycott primary target, so even if you don't care about a mega-budget AAA game cheaping out and using generic AI-generated art, you should care because the publisher *called the FBI* to investigate their own staff for anti-genocidal sentiments.
