CONTROL Resonant has everything I look for in a game: protagonist karaoke that no one wants and a fake movie that everyone wants

thatgamecompany is one of the most influential and singular game studios of our era. this is the first of three videos we're producing about its enduring legacy. the tale of a group of young people who dared to carve a new path for video games.

If you write critically, you have to do something besides get excited. You have to examine what's in front of you. What you see is a movie industry in decay, and they decay gets worse and worse. (2001)

friendly annual October reminder for journalists: if you're pulling quotes for an article from social media please do remember to double check the speaker's name
Quote from The Hill article in 2019: "“There is no reason Democrats should be making any deals with Mitch McConnell to make it easier to confirm more radical conservatives to the courts. Especially not after Kavanaugh,” tweeted Leah Ghostberg, the co-executive director of the advocacy group Indivisible.

[20 years from now] We've torn down and rebuilt the Plaza, but the song still plays. We don't know where it's coming from. It gets louder every year. They can hear it in Lenexa.

Fun KC thing that is never deeply unsettling: on the Plaza, the historic bell tower plays a full two minute song at 10am and 7pm instead of chiming the hour mark, and from the parking garage at work it goes a lil something like… well, it’s a bop folks

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

The final page of capitalism: “Stuff” magazine announcing a stuff that we don’t know what it does but must replace a stuff that you already own (worthless trash now by nature of new stuff) and another brand is making a stuff+. No one wants any of this but we have to write that you’ll die without it.

I've never quite figured out what to do with the Lucy Boynton class photo that came with the BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER vinyl. Part of me wants to just hang with the other photos of our friends and family. As always, big thanks to @brockwilbur.bsky.social for helping this record find its way to me.

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing
