At the end of the day it’s an entertainment career, just with different barriers to entry than more traditional forms. His income is tied entirely to people’s interest in his product and the willingness of his audience to voluntarily give him some amount of their money every month.

“If you look at the flag closely, it’s clearly not Arabic”

I find it really worrying that he doesn’t understand what “consent” is if he thinks a 6 year old can do it.

Even in the “Wild West” you couldn’t just carry guns anywhere you wanted.

When I see “gameplay” like this I just assume it’s all bullshit. An optimized and self-contained demo that only represents what the game will end up being in the most shallow of ways. Game doesn’t come out until early next year, plenty of time to end up with features cut and garbage lighting.

More like the new star of 19 Kids and Counting.

Yeah but FIFA made it up to them by booking Italy and Spain to win the next two world cups. Conspiracies all around!

a District spokesperson says kids “lost all their work, and some had to take the tests multiple times this week.”

“Today is not the time to think about taking (safety) measures,” Segura said.

Good job today, class, next time we’ll learn how to draw a circle:

if you watched that clip without Kevin Love screaming “he hurt me on purpose” to bias the viewer, I doubt anyone would be screaming it for him.

I think there’s a happy medium between shamelessly promoting someone and whitewashing their history, and ignoring the fight entirely, that would be appropriate for the supposed worldwide leader in sports.
