Pretending that this:

““I removed it, and I even wrote to him a really nice message like, ‘I’m so sorry! Go get the Oscar! You’re doing amazing.’ And I never heard anything back, which is fine. I was super bummed because he was so nice, and we were good friends. I’m a big fan of not taking yourself seriously,…

Literally everyone paying attention called it.

“Similarly concerning is liberals’ proclivity toward purity testing at their own expense.”

This is my biggest fear.

When you are up against a side that has zero qualms about voting against you *for its own sake*, you cannot afford to let perfect be the enemy of the good because they will steamroll you.

We are not in a…

And it very well may be, but economics is the only language the GOP understands.

...they understand it POORLY, but it’s the only way to get them to half-listen to anything.

All of them.

100 percent of them. Guaranteed.

Although they are likely conflicted in their conservative brains, i.e. “Women are horrible liars but also I’m a massive racist so I don’t know what I should do!”

“While Gearbox’s opposition to this latest anti-trans bill is certainly well-meaning (if maybe a little too fixated on the impact to its own bottom line), arguments have been made in similar situations that these kinds of boycotts only further hurt marginalized folks who are unable to just up and leave discriminatory…

They did the same thing after losing to Obama for a second time. They had a massive internal report and investigation, it returned results stating “here is why the party isn’t sustainable in its current form and what needs to be done”....and promptly ignored all of it to double-down.

In the short term it got them…

“While Gearbox’s opposition to this latest anti-trans bill is certainly well-meaning (if maybe a little too fixated on the impact to its own bottom line)“

This is literally the only language Republicans understand, though.

You use the ammunition best suited to the situation.

I fucking LOVED M.C. Kids as a child.

I rented it a few times. Beat it on my second rental...but rented it again just because I missed playing it.

I can’t explain it.

Has Kotaku become an official Apple Arcade PR arm?

...I’m very much kidding, but man, it’d be handy to have APPLE ARCADE appended to all headlines so I know not to bother clicking on them.

Yes...that was the point of the article.

...everyone remotely familiar with film scores?

It’s literally called ‘Ghostbusters Theme’. That’s its actual title.  Bernstein is a legend.

Every single company of that size is scum. There are literally no exceptions.

Don’t do this.  It isn’t helping and it’s frankly being willfully obtuse.

Are you talking about Alan Tudyk?

Tudyk wasn’t on “Buffy”, he was on “Firefly”. Considering that that show only lasted 14 episodes (6 of which weren’t aired) and had a single movie later on, it would not surprise me in the least if that side of Whedon never showed up. As I recall, the entire cast of that show was…

“We don’t often hear the extent to which C-suite people make much less than expected because of stock markets not doing great,”

Bo0-fucking-hoo.

Holy shit what a world class terrible take.

We found the libertarian that think’s they’re gonna be a millionaire one day.

Seriously.  What made them think they were going to get away with that?  You’re being hosted!

Everyone stare into the abyss of this comment and marvel.

That’s basically what all the remaining True Believers (TM) do when they aren’t on their own forums.

It’s pretty sad, tbh.
