I’m not the first person to make this observation but the prevalence of nauseating ai-generated business logos means stuff like this hits CRAZY for me now

We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...
A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

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. 🧵

Harm reduction politics is over for me. The harm is here, the harmers are in power & doing tremendous harm. No, in an era of fascist control the way to end harm is by being anti-fascist. I don't need ideological purity, but if we're gonna make an anti-fascist coalition here, it can't include harmers

Anti-civil rights Democrats should lose. But what if anti-civil rights Dems losing means Dems won't control the govt! Buddy, full on anti-civil rights fascists control it already and the threat of losing is pretty weak if winning still means tomorrow just looks like today. That ain't reducing harm

If you’re not getting a % cut of the game’s sales, never agree to crunch a single minute. It just doesn’t make sense to work in your free time for some else’s profit. And anyone who tells you otherwise is a slave-driver.

It's also the Nintendo Jump-Thru-Some-Hoops-To-Get-Something-On-Sale Sale. Because it appears that Switch 2 games and Switch 2 Editions are not on sale. But, you can buy the Switch 1 version of games on sale and then buy the Switch 2 upgrade (not on sale) to save some money.

Ran out to get some lunch and saw a car with like 7 stickers like this on it (though way less on the graphic design front). Shook my head cuz you know that person is unhinged. Then noticed another sticker that said "Nothing is free!" My first thought was to ask them what they thought taxes were for.
A sticker that says Just Say No To Socialism with a rendition of the DSA logo and a big red circle with a line through it.

"Why should my tax dollars go to giving houses to people who can't afford them?" Why should MY tax dollars should go to satisfying your desire to see desperate people living desperate lives? I'd rather save money and solve the problem, rather than spend money to exacerbate it.

The only thing I know about this game is that it’ll fall way under expectations and probably be sunset within 18 months. So a little longer than 2XKO got.

SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit: www.gamefile.news/p/star-wars-...
gamefile.news
‘Most’ of Star Wars Zero Company studio Bit Reactor was furloughed ahead of launch
The details emerged amid a legal dispute between company founders. The lawsuit also provides an unexpected look into a studio behind one of the best-reviewed Star Wars games in years

Hey bitreactor, really enjoying Zero Company. One questions, can you make it so the camera stops moving when I stop moving it? 3 times now the subtle dropping it does anytime I move it has fucked me on moving characters. Would really appreciate it.
