“I’m trying to succeed in a capitalist system,” she writes in My Body. “But that doesn’t mean I like the game.”

Kotick should resign or be booted from Blizzard. But please don’t insult his appearance. There are much more valid ways to criticize the man.

Before people start chiming in that this is all performative nonsense, that they’re not actually doing something to punish Activision-Blizzard for this stuff?

Nah, that’s just downtown Brooklyn traffic. It’s like Manhattan traffic but with flannel.

AOC’s clothing was, to her critics, supposedly evidence of hypocrisy and self-promotion, and therefore of her shallowness and insincerity. Sinema’s clothing is supposedly evidence of attention seeking, therefore of shallowness and insincerity. Jezebel’s digging in a different corner of the sty, but there’s no…

Right. There’s ZERO chance leftist women would be defending this if the target was a female politician they liked. It’s complete bullshit.

You are free to give yourself permission to set aside your principles if they prevent you from attacking the object of your scorn as completely as you might like. Once you have set those principles aside though, you don’t really get to expect that anyone will pretend you still have them.

There are two things in that video: 1. Michael being a totally reasonable human being just like he’s always been and giving a properly balanced impression of FSD as it is today; 2.

Isn’t helping potential abusers before they start to abuse helping victims?

I can guarantee you almost anyone can find 60 minutes in their day to workout. Considering how much time the average North American spends watching TV or playing games. What people don’t know is exercise doesn’t take all that much time.

Copyright doesn’t work for the majority of people. It only really works for the already powerful members of society. For at least as long as we continue with our garbage way of paying artists and others that create work that can be copied and distributed for basically nothing. They are creating tons of value and…

Can’t think of any big-name current Melee players involved in any of the more serious cases. Most everybody who was a problem has been removed from the scene, including commentators.

Kotaku (and its readers) are swept up in the Twitter-Tech-Bro buzz of NFTs. And I don’t blame them— $30,000 GIFs are absolutely insane. But as our lives get more and more digital, the concept of original-digital is definitely cool. NFTs provide us some sort of way to have ownership in the digital world... but the…

Just FYI, the fastest women’s time this year in the 100 meters wouldn’t make the top 1000 of the men’s times. I’m not sure relegating women athletes to the deep, deep, deep minor league of almost every sport answers any problems we have.

Celebrities are most likely to have high-end boots that rarely, if ever, encounter actual dirt. Those are obviously the boots to lick, if that’s your thing.

Slow news day or this blog is finally dead?

Those poor fictional characters! I can’t imagine how their nonexistent hearts must be breaking over seeing this!
