michael @modality.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Someone made a comment about how the mess was just social media drama, then deleted their post. So I wanted to give another example Rascal's low quality that didn't involve drama. Here's a screenshot of the final graf of their coverage of the 2026 Diana Jones award. www.rascal.news/mischief-toy... 170

![Text from Rascal coverage of the Diana Jones award:
This year’s finalists include what has become a trendy mix of thinkers, games, and ways in which the committee can restate its progressive ideals. While my (or, rather, Rascal’s) opinion on awards shows hasn’t changed, Mischief Toy Store is deserving of accolades, laurels, and praise for their work within their community and as an example of the ways in which everyday acts of kindness and resistance can occur at any time — and should occur more often.

![A screenshot from Rascal's newsletter which reads:
[Blizzard Entertainment is owned by Microsoft, which has been named a "priority target" by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement over its complicity in Israel's ongoing occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. That boycott explicitly extends to Xbox and Microsoft's gaming products. I am about to spend a few paragraphs writing about a game I love (warts and all), so go forward fully informed about the political context surrounding it.]
World of Warcraft has once again activated the siren call, luring me back to shores I've explored for the majority of my life at this point. This latest temptation is the strongest and most devious, nostalgia mixed with big promises in the form of Wow: Forever. (The essay goes on.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mdv6ziftrioybhhoxqztquno/bafkreicritch25idnw2brdt4nlya6mfh2jyijsmvg6z5umyyge5ymiozqy)
