I've never seen this before. Midway's Auxillary Show Monitor allowed better viewing for onlookers at arcades and can be considered a node in the long history of video game viewership and streaming.

My son loved it, and I thought it was really pretty, but I largely agree with this headline. The Super Mario Galaxy movie is fan service glued together by the loosest of plots. There are plenty of opportunities for pathos and genuine storytelling, and the film ignores them all.

I can't believe I admired Chomsky at one point. One would think he would be appalled by someone like Epstein, but they had a sustained relationship built around, in Chomsky's words, "financials." Don't meet your heroes, and don't look too closely at them either.

I'm not a fan of the Clintons, but I'll take any ally in the fight against fascism. Their response to James Comer's subpoena.

Wall Street Journal doing its best to mainstream fascism. What’s the real “social-contagion” here?

Capturing this FB post for how it manages to capture the absurdity of our moment, where fascism has clawed away at our constitutional rights to a point where nothing makes sense.

The current Israeli government is disgraceful and completely lacking in self-awareness.

Imagine having so little regard for an innocent person. This administration is one of the ugliest this country has had.

Every headline is worse than the last. This is an openly racist af government. The warnings were clear. But god forbid we have a qualified woman president.
