Gullible, Cynical America The trouble with believing anything and nothing at the same time

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

β€œIt was devastating to learn, right from the start, that women were open targets for disrespect and harassment –– even at a world-renowned workplace in the most liberal-leaning city in the country. I was likewise told to steer clear of a particularly chauvinistic male lead in my department.”

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

@evnarc.bsky.social keeps finding ways to up the ante with Batman/Static:Beyond, and with @miguelmendoncaart.bsky.social and Quintana, we get plenty of moments that can only be described as β€œschway”

If you grew up watching either series you owe it to yourself to pick this series up!

The Casual Inhumanity of How Detroit: Become Human Uses Black Culture To quote a time-honored African-American turn of phrase, video game developer David Cage owes black people a check. I went back to playing Detroit: Become

Another great piece of crit from way back in the day, Evan Narcisse was one of the first, the most insightful people to call out Detroit: Become Human for its appropriation of the imagery of the Black civil rights movement, while making vile use of Blackness to stand in for the monstrous.

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

Did you know? πŸ’­ 83% of Black teens play games, but only 2% of creators are Black. We aim to address disparities like this.

Crispy Gamer - Column: Thought/Process: More on Resident Evil 5 and Uncomfortable Echoes The discussion on race and RE5 continues, but are journalists missing the point?

Criminal that the NYT review is forever safe from internet erosion, but @evnarc.bsky.social's fantastic reporting and critique on this game requires archive.org spelunking

These words have probably become the most iconic quote associated with Dwayne McDuffie. They're from an interview I did with him way back in 2010. When I say #MilestoneMadeMe, this is what I'm talking about.

I illustrated the framing story featuring Kasper Cole as he searches for T’Challa and reflects on Wakanda.

Honored to celebrate this iconic hero!

Relooted is a fine heist gameβ€”but it's a better history lesson Correcting dark historic wrongs can feel surprisingly bright.

"It's a competent loop of heist setup and escape execution. But even when I piloted Nomali through a flawless getaway, I found myself more interested in being able to return to the relooters' hideout to learn more about the game's 70 reclaimable artifacts and their very real histories."

Even when it starts to fray at the seams a bit, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die feels like the perfect encapsulation of everything that makes life in 2026 feel so insane. Didn't expect it to be more Weapons than Black Mirror. My review:
