@simpleandcleanpod.bsky.social I just want you to know I'm playing the new Kingdom Hearts remaster/current gen ports that came out today while listening to your podcast. Is this as simple and clean as one can be in the year 2026? Maybe it will become clear if Sora shouts "THUNDER!" one more time.

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. 🧵

Based on some conversations I was reading through yesterday but thankfully not participating in, it seems like a strategy many prominent voices on here have embraced regarding Talarico is to leave his line blank under the assumption that an "undercount" will reflect measurable lack of enthusiasm...

The thing that sparked the 2022 tech layoffs and RTO push wasn't anything on balance sheets or payrolls, it was the twisted tech oligarchs sharing in their grouptexts those videos of 20-something women project managers working from the poolside as if it was a personal affront to them.

So, it’s not a conspiracy, and you are not imagining it. The biggest and wealthiest tech leaders are genuine fascists. They are leading an active and intentional systematic attack on labor. And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.

American voters hated wages rising faster than prices. Thought rising real wages and high monthly job creation was the worst economy ever. So they voted for a candidate with inflation-raising policy who openly sided with the richest bosses. And got the lower wages and higher prices they voted for.

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.
