Tech companies invented a new “Save As” and charged money for it. Lol

People won’t answer the door for a sales pitch but open Instagram and TikTok every day.

Can’t believe we aren’t suing companies for bait-and-switch when they do surge and adjustable pricing.

Someday I’d like to use an obscure copyright law to take back a property I sold to a company 35 years before. Anyway, I can’t believe we’re going new Ultima after next year.

They didn’t have Garry Kitchen’s Gamemaker on the list. 😥 And the Passport to Paris image is the wrong one (I loved the C64 game). But all in all, this feels about right:

It is I, the Wordle guy.

“The devil doesn’t want you to own resources and real estate." Kelsey McKinney went to a Life Surge event that featured several Eagles players last year: defector.com/saquon-barkl...

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Workshopping a new term for people believing the first thing they read or are told about a video or image rather than the reality of that image or video. I keep landing on “context creation.”

This dude kept popping up in my feeds under headlines of “Hunter Biden owns [right-wing media outlet] over [maudlin issue].” It’s funny to see he is doing this rw media tour in order to fleece these people with a bitcoin scam.

I get the specific magic of these two (specifically Ebert) but I can’t believe there isn’t a TikTok/Instagram version of this format with new critics. The review of this movie is a 3-minute segment, and you’re telling me we have Subway Takes but not this?

I hope Sega sues these chuds.

They should reboot the Megamans.

My youngest has this letter, and it’s treasured in the household!

It must be stated that Yellow Journalism is back and in full swing since Trump took office.

Thinking about becoming a Commodore 64 guy again. There’s a decent community on reddit for it. For example, Michael Cranford (Bard’s Tale) announced a C64 game on that board and that was closer to his original vision of BT, and it looks great!

My team was just bought by a Kushner. 😥

Isn’t it kind of wild that the New York Times, the Atlantic, the Economist, etc., pay people a lot of money to just, like, watch TV and clips on social media then write 2,000-word screeds about them?

You’re telling me we might get (or already did get) a twofer?

Wait…Falco’s Italian?

Fwiw. The constitution was ratified in 1789, so like, you can wait to celebrate that bday instead.

This is Ultima III.

Lol. The number of sports prognosticators who had the Celtics in the Finals.

A lot of the same people out here cheering the Onion’s InfoWars takeover while also rushing to conclusions before we have any detailed information about what happened.

Not Sublime. 😢

Ah yes. It is truly the deal master who pays a company a cool billion in taxpayer money to not produce electricity.

Adebayo? WTF?

Eveyone about to learn Linux.

Taking the “Lent Challenge” or, as it used to he called, Lent.

Today was both the perfect and worst day to launch my new podcast: Talkin’ Tariffs.

Unfortunately they did not capture Dan's tribute on the broadcast but the in arena feed did get the audio

I wonder if they show Trump the real videos or ones that are AI-doctored.

The second dude said “we are taking the oil” he made it impossible for any US oil company to go to Venezuela without severe backlash and sanctions.

It defaults Rude to Hide but Intolerance to Warn. Only polite hate please.

Kind of wild that MTG goes on all these news interviews and not one outlet asks her to square her voting record with her current views.

My 4yo singing Steve’s Lava Chicken to the tune of Jingle Bells.

Overheard on my walk, a guy on his phone: I don’t know why anyone let me spend this much time with you. — My dude, you have autonomy!

It’s good we still call it Twitter.

We should have all stayed on Mastodon.

Sometimes I think about how, at 17, Abraham Lincoln would have read about Thomas Jefferson’s death in his local press.

Back on my Xenoblade 3 kick (never finished, kids) and remembering how this thing is basically an anti-AI tone poem.

People are always like “this is not who we are as a society,” and that makes me remember the time in 1987 when I watched a gunman hold a local news affiliate hostage on air in order to have the anchor read off conspiracy theories. Seems like who we are and have been for a very long time!

Anyone want to go halfsies with me on owning Moz’ portion of The Smiths catalog?

Here to tell you that the Elliot game is good. Elliot.
