People in California who are facing a terrible ICE surge: remember that if you need whistles, we are still sending them out for free. In fact, we just passed 1.7 million whistles sent out. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

I agree that it’s obvious that Vance is seeding these stories. What’s not obvious to me is what journalistic standard would allow these puff pieces to be aired on background and off the record. Make them put their names on the quotes or don’t print it!

Honestly the sort of move that accelerates the move to universal coverage in the US. Companies can’t even afford the pittance of covering your family (or want you to believe that they can’t.)

ok but two things: 1. the bar isn't "helpful", its "truthful"; offering a bunch of lies with a smile isn't actually the goal here 2. people are pissed because the WH press insists on defending an ally of American fascism, not because they think you were lying about her being helpful

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Donate to the candidates on the front lines of the fight against MAGA gerrymandering
These are anti-MAGA state candidates in *extremely* close races

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

there isn't a problem with the game's industry. there's a problem with every industry and every publicly traded company. getting a "nice CEO who cares" or whatever won't fix anything until things are addressed at a more fundamental societal level. the system will always drive towards this behavior.

You can’t spent four years telling people the Republican Party is an existential threat to American democracy and has broken every law on the books, spend the following four years trying to pretend none of it happened, and expect to remain in office when the republicans come back to break more laws.

Today, the IGNCG sent this letter to our President of Ziff Davis Gaming & Entertainment to demand pay that reflects the rate of inflation in our contract. Please join us in asking @errorjustin.bsky.social, @peer-ign.bsky.social, @corradimus.bsky.social, and @yprough.bsky.social to pay us fairly.
Yael,

“Consistent with our commitments, we respect the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining, and we will engage in good faith with collective bargaining groups.”


That is what the Ziff Davis Labor Rights Policy states. And for the most part, that is how IGN has conducted itself throughout the negotiations over the IGN Creators Guild’s first contract. The process has been cordial and productive. Until now. The company’s most recent proposal regarding the unit's yearly wage increases is disrespectful to your staff.

To put it plainly: IGN's offer to the union doesn't keep up with inflation, which continues to rise. Our current proposal, which steps down from 4.5% to 4% over the course of the contract, is more than reasonable. To assert that a 2.5-3% yearly increase in salaries is acceptable in 2026, when the average rate of inflation over the past five years has been 4.2%, is insulting. What you are telling us is that IGN is more comfortable subsidizing its bottom line with the value of our salaries than putting us in a position of security so that we can focus on what really matters: making great content for a brand we care so deeply about.

For this offer to be even less than what the Ziff Davis Creator’s Guild received in their contract when they ratified it in 2021 is just as insulting. IGN is the most stable and successful brand of the gaming division by multiple measures. We deserve wages that reflect the value we bring to this organization. We demand it. 

If you want to finish this contract, pay us fairly. 

Sincerely,
The IGN Creators Guild

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

"I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a religious man by any stretch of the imagination, but when I see games like Mario Party 4 hit the market, I begin to question my spirituality, wondering if Satan is actually working at Nintendo on this godforsaken series.
