I've been wondering what's actually up here for a while + you're not going to believe this but the answer is, once again, private equity. www.avclub.com/shout-factor...

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

Not shocked that the guy who covered up the police murdering a kid during his term as mayor is anti-accountability.

After the skinner box that was Dark Souls 2, I needed Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave. Getting some much needed downtime just poking around and exploring. That said don't do my beloved Fodlan like-- yeah okay fine.

It's the problem of the decades long deregulation nightmare we live in. Nobody is responsible for or even feels the need to block monopolies despite their visibly being cancerous. Hell we just had Paramount get handed a fast track to taking over WB by Dems.

Trump is throwing the press out of the White House, and Newsom and Bonta have allowed the further consolidation of the press at a time when we struggle to get accurate news and information. I'm sorry, but on this issue, which is CORE TO OUR DEMOCRACY, both parties fail us miserably.

I wanted to become a writer so I could "live out" many different kinds of lives. That was the whole point. But to do it for a living I had to learn a bunch of shit outside of character. Structure, plot, pacing, tone, voice. How to pitch. How to take notes. Etc. Guess that’s why they call it a job.

That's not even getting into the more severe anti-democratic elements like Trump allies/Zionists like the Ellisons and the Saudis having a death grip over all sorts of elements of democracy or media in general, but who knows. Maybe they'll bungle it and people will lose their jobs anyway. Awesome.

Gruesome Gavin Newsom really may have just helped kill Hollywood dead. Great idea when you're trying to worm your way into a presidential run I guess.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

I deeply appreciate Intelligent Systems going out of their way to beat you over the head with the reality that the protagonist of Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave definitely is not white in canon either. Which really does fit with my preferred vision for protagonists I write/play as anyway. Bravo.

Loving Fortune's Weave. Though I'm incredibly annoyed I can't change the voice track to Japanese till after the opening. That and the lack of save slots seem like such obvious things to blow it on.

#ResidentEvil is a god damn delight. John Carpenter meets Looney Tunes madcap energy. Nonstop horror and overflowing with tension. It feels like you’re watching someone play the game. It’s a 10/10 for me.

Honestly, it's fitting with what an embarrassment the Cap and Avengers run this revamp is connected to has been. But having extremely regressive takes on Iraq and the War on Terror is a bit different from just trying to out-Doomsday Clock the way DC has treated Alan Moore's body of work.

Ashur S. @screading.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
"What if we took a beloved Alan Moore revamp, sheared away all the stuff people cared about, and used it as a vehicle for some Canadian dude's fixation on how America's foreign intervention can be done right if you're sufficiently liberal and kinda feel bad about blowing up Iraqi kids?"

Yeah it is pretty depressing. If the game was all bad, it'd be easier to hate it. But man they really got gutted hard.

Yeah, it's pretty telling (and uplifting) that disconnecting from the guy is putting exposure on them instead of meekly bowing down.

At this point you're getting more exposure as an artist by quitting the Ed Sheeran tour than by sticking with it... and that's a really exciting thing for conscience (and conscious) culture.

We are well beyond the “Dog-Whistle” Racism of Nixon and Reagan’s Republican Party. I would offer “Clown Horn” Racism for how cartoonishly Trump’s GOP broadcasts White Supremacist racial theory in public and policy to cheers from actual Nazis, homegrown and abroad.

The fact that he views public assets as belonging to the government is the problem. They don't belong to the government. They belong to the public. They belong to us. Not the Liberals, not Parliament, not him. Us. He's a caretaker, not an owner.

Started reading Air by @gwillow.me and M.K. Perker on a whim. A couple issues in and it really is the antidote I needed to counteract 25 years of bad feelings about the world after 9/11.
