The announcement that Sony intends to phase out game discs by 2028 signals the end of an era. Game discs have been with us for as long as many can remember, but they didn't actually start with PlayStation. In-depth look by @yoerigeutskens.bsky.social: www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?su...

Also, he purged the Kennedy Center of a collection of African art that was given in tribute to JFK, but he installed this, from the Tony Montana Meets Saddam Hussein Collection.
Indescribably, almost parodistically ugly, vulgar, gold-foil relief art, straight out of a dictator's cocaine palace, of Trump raising his fist and saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!" after having his ear grazed by a bullet, and of RFK Jr. with some croaky quote next to him. The art pieces look like something you could unwrap to reveal artificially flavored chocolate from five Easters ago.

@janpostma.bsky.social Is die belofte van $5000 omkoping? Lijkt me van wel. Het criterium of Trump zelf begunstigde is is geen criterium. Als je een klant een bedrag aanbiedt zodat jouw werkgever een opdracht binnenhaalt als leverancier en je daar zelf niet beter van wordt is het nog steeds omkoping

In my lifetime, Republicans have gone from impeaching a president for lying about a blowjob to not wanting to impeach a president who commits 10 crimes per day, including fraud, stealing, & massive violations of the constitution. This isn't "politics as usual." It's a psychological break in reason.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
