Was just looking at US hardware prices... When Grand Theft Auto V launched in September 2013, the average price for a new PS3/360 was $243. In August 2026 the average price for a new PS5/XBS was $665. Wild. Source: Circana Retail Tracking Service

I don't know that it makes him presidential material but Ossoff's ability to just be honest about how much of a pile of shit these people really are should be a model to the party.

Props to Ossoff doing this. He is going to run away with this election in a formerly deep red state so when Dems take congress, no one is going to have an excuse to say that voters don't want impeachment.

I realize it often feels like nothing matters anymore, but a comedian going on SNL and calling women whores— calling the ordinary women he sees at the gym *whores* — because of their clothes matters to me. It’s really gross, and I’m glad Levy said something.

Nice to see Control Resonant climbing the Steam ranks from 15 to 13 in a week! Seems that maybe word of mouth is helping. (And then us physical weirdos FINALLY get in on the action later this week for PS5/XBX.)

The soundtrack was also hella good, and I thought to myself, this sounds like someone who has composed for video games before. At first, I guessed Disasterpeace with an early synth-heavy track. But after, I learned it was Daniel Pemberton, and hell yeah, Orb of Dreamers! youtu.be/3Jnubcn2G-Y?...

I wonder to what extent Tom Cruise's involvement as the lead is part of what makes people feel that. Or does his involvement kinda help make the movie because of how famously apolitical he is?

Digger was a really playful piece of cinema! It really reminded me of seeing Tree of Life or a Kubrick or something, a little bit of Gilliam. I really enjoyed it. It was a full cinema meal. It’s so rare as an audience to be asked to…. do some intellectual work

NYC is on track to have its lowest rate of shootings EVER, and the thing that is going to ruin that is the presence of ICE. If the police commissioner cannot pick the side of New Yorkers, she obviously has to be fired. The numbers do not lie.

I feel like I've gone in the opposite direction of these AI-embracing parents. Rather than seeing my daughter's everyday drawings as something that kids just do, I see it as inspiration to do my own art on a regular basis. Sometimes I'll just hang out with her and do a bunch of sketches like this.

Every time I see one of those posts where a parent has decided to offload anything it can about being a parent to AI it just makes me sad for that kid. why do you have kids if you aren't going to try to form actual relationships with them, to spend time with them, to parent them?

My TV-watching ambitions are definitely not what they once were, where I could be watching 2-3 shows at any given time. That said, HBO has set me up well in the months after Lanterns with one show after the other: The Gilded Age, followed by The Pitt.

My second rewatch of Mad Men has been interesting for similar reasons. But with Mad Men, it's more about how different I feel from Don Draper as a man, husband and father. (Sorry, if any followers thought I was a Don Draper-type. My work apartment is my office next to our bedroom.)
