It's the biggest rush when you realize someone has fucked up that badly and it takes every ounce of self-control to just look confused and play dumb so they dig as deep a hole as possible

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Just seems like a matter of time before they trip on this particular landmine
Screenshot from the Cornell Law Library definition of the tort of Appropriation 

"appropriation
Appropriation occurs when a defendant uses a plaintiff’s name, likeness, or image without their permission for commercial purposes. Appropriation is one of several torts falling under the category of invasion of privacy. When a defendant uses a plaintiff's name or likeness for a newsworthy purpose, however, this does not fall under the tort of appropriation and can be used as a defense by defendants.

Generally in an appropriation case, the plaintiff must prove several elements. California Jury Instructions regarding appropriation set out 5 essential factual elements for jurors. 

The defendant used the plaintiff’s name or likeness,
The plaintiff did not consent,
The defendant gained a commercial benefit (or some other advantage),
The plaintiff was harmed, and
The defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiff’s harm. "

Always try to hit up a great cafe when traveling to a new place. George Howell has provided in Boston, their pourover is great but the single-origin espresso shot was pretty much perfect. The sandwich was great as well, firm recommend.

Each of these is basically when a door opened for me for gaming or game design/writing, when I learned something new and big about either games or myself as a player.

My concern is how much this is kowtowing to people who want just brain-off effortless gameplay. Marathon works in large part because you have to pay attention and work for what you get. "Just hanging out with friends shooting bugs" isn't engaging and it isn't what has made Marathon special.

I just find it very annoying how all those puff pieces about Rahm Emanuel are immediately met with "Chicago will skewer this man" and everyone agrees but when Californians do the same with Newsom we get blamed for foisting him on the country

Again, I must ask what they think the response from governments will be when given this information, because it will likely not be "wow we should let you do whatever you want"

I have timed my visit to Boston for the 2-3 weeks a year where it's not clammy and humid and not freezing ass or soaking. I think the best word to describe the weather is "deceptive" - the kind of weather that makes a visitor go "you know, I could live here, it can't get *that* bad"

A side by side meme. The upper caption stretching across both images is "WHO WOULD WIN?" The left photo is a stock photo showing a Black man working at a laptop with an external monitor above it and a second laptop next to it, all three screens showing Very Important Terminal Code that he's staring intently at with his hands on the keyboard, captioned "multiple redundant systems designed by advanced engineering teams". The right is a yellow JCB backhoe being operated by someone in shadow, perched next to a pile of dirt and in the process of digging up more, captioned "One scrapey boi".

(also it's very funny that Marathon, almost certainly conceived, pitched and designed as a smaller, cheaper to make and cash flow positive counterpart to the big and expensive Destiny 2 now has to grow and become more expensive to make because they killed Destiny 2)

Not a ton of *new* info, but good to see them hard commit to finishing the unvaulting of pre-BL D2 content (which, credit to the community projects to forcing Sony's hand), keeping Destiny alive in the future, and emphasizing a long term commitment to Marathon. Nothing yet hits like a Bungie FPS.

Fun fact: while the Presidio Trust was dicking Lucas around complaining about architectural standards, they were also saying shit like this: www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
As for Lucas’ affection for the work of Rockwell, best known for his atmospheric Saturday Evening Post illustrations: “He was a brand. But a force? I don’t think so,” opined Lombardi, who no longer is with the trust. “In fact, who cares about Rockwell?”

Glass was even more scornful. In one exchange with Lombardi, he paired a Lucas quote dismissive of contemporary art with a quote from Adolf Hitler regarding “artworks that cannot be understood in and of themselves.”

Glass’ commentary: “75 years, ve have come full circle.”
