This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

What is particularly interesting about Hungary is how a relatively new political movement managed to build the organisation required to compete with a political machine that had spent years making itself extraordinarily difficult to defeat.

From the streets to the ballot box: What Hungary can teach Serbia
The challenge is not simply whether an entrenched authoritarian government can be defeated, but whether almost two years of a student-led mobilisation can be translated into electoral power.

Saw the guillotine that killed Marie Antoinette today, genuinely quite chilling to think we will have to do this to hundreds and hundreds of similar people again in the very near future

Somewhat experimental pizza. Read the alt text if curious. It was pretty sick!
Cream, parmesan, preserved lemons and confit garlic for the sauce. Then a layer of mushrooms sautéed in all sorts of stuff, then mixed with mushroom pate for a huge umami bomb? A mushroom cloud if you will. Then spinach to clear out the fridge, and finally some char siu from the conbini

OK, might as well let the cat out of the bag The first excerpt from @beckbook.com is now available in the PRINT edition of New York Magazine!! It'll be online later, but if you can buy the actual issue, go support one of the last great print magazines!!! To entice you, here's the opening spread:
OPENING MAGAZINE SPREAD FOR BECK BOOK EXCERPT:

"Losing Beck" by Josephine Riesman

The singer-songwriter's acclaimed album SEA CHANGE was said to have been inspired by a breakup. For his partner of nine years, it was the story of how the Church of Scientology took over his life.

Hot take?* Game Changer needs a moratorium on social deception games. Going back to the well is anti-Game Changer. Plus it just devolves into incoherent yelling like IRL deception games with highly-strung individuals tend to do *mostly cause their track record means they get a pass on everything

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

It’s easier to write flat, expository dialog and trust the second screen to keep viewers from clicking away than to just write compelling dialog so I guess we’re stuck with it :/

So what I strongly suspect is happening here is that OpenAI and Anthropic are angling for favorable regulation from TrumpWorld that will shut out competition from China etc. The fearmongering also hyped up the supposed capabilities of their wares. OFC, they want to IPO asap but the books are putrid

The video game industry has always been volatile (I published Press Reset in 2021!) but the skeleton key to understanding the current state of things is this: Big games now cost 10x to make what they did 15 years ago but most do not generate even close to 10x the revenue. Simple as that

I repeat this every year, but my big memory of 9/11 was talking to my Cold War liberal dad on the phone and him getting angry at me for saying “This is our Reichstag fire. The worst people in the US are going to run with this.”

The reason that the Harry Potter apologists won't just read better books is because they're not looking for good stories...if they were, they wouldn't have glommed on to Harry Potter. They're looking for the camaraderie and social phenomenon that Harry Potter was in the 2000s.

Finally got to try Shogun Burger, which many call Tokyo’s finest. That’s an impossible claim to resolve to anyone’s satisfaction. I will say it was a highly delicious pile of vaguely burger-shaped food, loads of umami-laden porcini and other fungi, lots of fragrant truffles and all-around decadence

So I quit. It was literally "I don't think you're spending enough time in the office (I was on contract) and I'm not sure you're the guy for the job (which I had just created from scratch by getting this past Tolkien)." Me: "Ok. I quit." The look on his face was magic. Just blank horror.

Then the boss (who shall be identified only by his weird accent here) started fucking with me. I was already bleeding out spending crazy hours working on this proposal. Art, writing, lore, design. Everything. But he wanted me in the office more. He sat me down in his office and threatened my job.

I had a boss at a #videogame company once I was working on a #KOTOR style #Ringwraith game for him, where you are the last of the nine kings still alive, trying to collect the Rings of men, before you fall into darkness. You were the Witch King. I got the lore approved by Christopher Tolkien!
