When they were having the conversation in the living room after Frank announced it would be his last day and Bill started crying, oof. I did too. That was incredible.

Excellent journalism and kudos on telling it like it is. Now that’s a spine and values! And yes, there will be the random Bezos wannabe hypercapialist apologists with pitchforks in the comments below which love an unfettered money grab till they receive a surprise 40k bill themselves from their Healthcare provider…

Gotta love the optics of a rich executive whining about “cancel culture” 24 hours before cancelling the jobs of 10,000 people.

The absolute tone-deafness displayed by having Sting play a private concert to MS executives in the fucking Swiss Alps the night before announcing 10,000 layoffs is incomprehensible to me. Just some Bond-villian fucking bullshit.

Microsoft really is where gaming talent goes to die.

Speaking of ‘Cancel Culture,’ I wonder how many games have just been canceled by Microsoft’s layoff culture >_>

She took a gender statement and made it about biological sex, which is insensitive to the original intent at least.

Being disliked because of your personality, views and actions isn’t cancel culture, it’s just people not liking you or your work. It’s a part of the package deal of making something to entertain people. There’s is a chance you suck so much that people don’t like your work anymore. That’s just consequences.

The irony of an Xbox exec bragging about releasing games.

It’s funny you call me terf. The R stands for “radical” correct?

Sigh.

All I want is a movie version of Shapiro’s novel, True Allegiance, with Shapiro playing bear of a man Brett Hawthorne. And they need to keep all the dialogue exactly the same as in the book.

Tom Cruise, a noted friend of the Miscaviges, was not present at the ceremony, given that he publicly disavowed the HFPA in 2021 for its lack of diversity. And as Carmichael noted, the Top Gun: Maverick star and Golden Globe nominee returned three of his awards in protest.

Sir, this is a blog.

They didn’t mean to use that language, and they know that it was inappropriate for them to say in a court filing, or ever. It was just A Heated Gamer Moment, and they’re asking for your forgiveness.

Obviously the small penis thing. There’s a been a bit of a movement lately on the Left (mostly Gen Z) to not use those sort of insults. Big Dick or Small Dick energy, yada yada.

Some people aren’t going to like the body shaming aspect of this type of insult, but I think it’s appropriate in certain circumstances when the target is the toxic male type who thrives on that sort of bullying themselves.

And it’s not even like being extraordinarily knowledgeable about a complex historical topic has any sort of value, right?

Yeah, and the Art History majors are the ones who don’t deserve to have a job.
