How are newsrooms rethinking election coverage?
As the U.S. midterm elections approach, news organizations are balancing a nonstop news cycle with the demands of preparing for one of the biggest stories of the year. How are newsrooms adapting their strategies, technologies and workflows to meet the moment?

It’s not even that none of these were considered slop it’s that each of these things were treated vastly differently from *each other* in their early years, much less from AI.

For about half the questions the map was 50-50 split on whether I belonged in Oklahoma City or Los Angeles, only settling on CA when I said "cot/caught" were the same. Joke's on it, I was born and lived in Southern California for the first 13 years of my life and have lived in OKC ever since.

just to head off any dumb residual bullshit at the pass so we don't have to do this again with Double Fine or Ninja Theory: there is no tier system on the BDS campaign page for Microsoft here is a screenshot. pay attention to the language it uses. "here are SOME EXAMPLES:" not a tier system.
Take Action
As a consumer, boycott Microsoft products whenever possible. Here are some examples:
Microsoft Gaming products (Xbox, Bethesda Softworks Activision Blizzard King)
Cancel Xbox Game Pass Subscription
Uninstall & boycott key games owned by the company such as Minecraft, Call of Duty, Candy Crush, etc.
Boycott Xbox Platform (e.g. Xbox Console or Xbox App on PC) & Hardware (Consoles, Controllers, Headsets, etc.).
Microsoft Surface Hardware (Laptops, Headsets, accessories). 
Microsoft AI / Copilot:
Avoid using Microsoft’s AI Copilot standalone app or extensions in Bing, Edge, Windows, Office, etc.
Change your Microsoft 365 subscription to avoid paying for Microsoft’s AI / Copilot (e.g. change from “Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Microsoft 365 Copilot” plan to “Microsoft 365 Business Basic” plan).
Microsoft Operating System, Office Suit, Browser, Search services and other tools (Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Bing, MSN, Teams, Skype etc.). Consider switching free and open software instead of another, possibly complicit company. As a consumer, sign the workers’ petition at: noaa.cc/sign and send a letter to Microsoft executives demanding that Microsoft end its complicity in Israel’s AI-powered genocide of Palestinians at noaa.cc/letter.
If you are a student or faculty member, join or start a campaign to pressure your university to cut ties with Microsoft by divesting from the company and ending institutional contracts when possible, exclude Microsoft from career fairs. Also, peacefully disrupt Microsoft sponsored hackathons and events.
Pressure your local government to divest from Microsoft, cut contracts with the company and divest local Pride and other celebrations from Microsoft as an intersectional commitment to ending complicity in Israeli apartheid and Pinkwashing. 
If you are an academic or involved in a civil society organization, get involved in the Palestinian BDS National Committee’s policy related work on regulating AI and cloud as dual use by contacting bella@bdsmovement.net.
If you are a Microsoft worker (full-time, contract, intern, etc.) or work for any of Microsoft’s subsidiaries, sign the internal worker petition at noaa.cc/petition, join the No Azure for Apartheid campaign by filling out this form: noaa.cc/join or contact the campaign at noazureforapartheid@proton.me. 
Divest from Microsoft and its subsidiaries.

BPM the GOATs. ty Reid for asking my dumbass what the future looks like, I decided to curse us all w/ my answer
Eventually someone will try to make the Spec Ops: The Line of live-service killers and it will garner critical acclaim from a smattering of blogs and video essayists but fail to do appreciable numbers, because at the end of the day Paul Tassi will be the only employed person left in “games media” and that man fucking loves CPCs. Fortnite and The Finals will merge and become one. Army recruitment will crater. Trickshots are for aura farming only.

Spoiler-free thoughts:
I am really happy I picked up Ambrosia Sky. I went in with next to no expectations and found something really incredible that affected me in ways I didn’t anticipate. It reminded me of so many different artistic and narrative touchstones that I’d be here forever just listing them all, if I had a mind to do so, but it held onto its core mechanical and narrative identity and gave me something to think about for long after I return to my shuttle. Really truly some time for this one.
