“privatization doesn’t mean prices will go up,” they told us last week. but of course they will, and they’re starting to have to admit it. the reason why investors are so desperate to get our airports is precisely because they know they’ll be able to make monopoly profits.

We talk as though our data is more private when people aren't involved, but I don't think that's right. There's the invasion of privacy of, e.g. LEOs using Flock to stalk their exes, and there's the invasion of privacy when algorithmic systems make assumptions about us, correctly or not.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Headline for Aug 25, 2028: Xbox and PlayStation Back to Multiplatform Messaging Retreating to exclusives makes some sense in a world of normal console cyclicality and needing to boost new boxes to the mass market. $1k+ new consoles and likely supply constraints will make this untenable long-term.

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

Dolly Parton regularly supported LGBTQIA+ people and BIPOC communities and spoke out against bigotry and hate, so I don't know how it's your take away from all this that she was "neutral" on culture wars or she was a "crossover icon."

There’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.

South of Midnight is a master class in cultural appreciation
I’m a French Black woman whose favorite game of 2025 was not Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. And how could it be, when South of Midnight was released around the same time?

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

A Tumblr thread between two user. 

Scorpio-System says: "AAA  Video Game Publisher Voice: 'Look. The goose layed a golden egg, and that's nice! Everyone loved that egg. But keeping the golden goose means paying for bird feed and I don't want to, so I killed the goose." 

The post is tagged with numerous replies, including. 
"That goose keeps laying golden eggs. That's stagnation. I'm going to kill it and look for a goose that lays diamond eggs."  
"That goose normally lays golden eggs, but this time it laid a silver egg. So I'm going to kill it because even though I can still make good money with that,  It's not  as good as a golden egg."
"That golden egg laying goose only lays an egg once a day instead of constantly shitting them out. I don't care that golden eggs take time. If they're not constant, the goose is worthless to me."

I would be worried, not only for the layoffs but also how any potential sales of studios will be handled. EA has a veritable mountain of treasured IP, some of which they haven't done anything with in over 20 years. But I'd love to see Dragon Age or Dead Space sold to studios that want to make them.
