Movies still come on Blu-ray, music is still pressed on vinyl and books still fill store shelves. But as Sony moves to phase out physical PlayStation releases, many gamers are asking why video games should be the first major entertainment medium to go all digital. https://t.co/FagoUG3JVU

Trump: “I’m going to commit a genocide”

Democrats: “Did you get congressional approval first?”

[Christian Talarski @ChristianJMT]

yes, wow.

[Winter @LeftyWinter]

AOC: "Think that Prime Minister carney's remarks that the World Economic Forum were, um, were words that run around the world in raising this question. But I think that also, in his remarks, as long and as well as part of this larger conversation, there was this undertone, this undercurrent, this suggestion that it was a rules, based order sometimes. And I think that that is the, the issue that lies before us is that in a in a so called rules, based order, the rules for whom, because for all too long, the rules only applied to the United States, europe, its allies, and we would carve out exceptions for the global South. And I think that when you have a rules, based order where you carve out exceptions to our values, exceptions to our rules, eventually the exceptions become the rules. And I think that, to your original point, over the last five years, we've seen such a breaking and such a fraying of these alleged Western values that people wonder if it ever existed in the first place. So I don't know if it's necessarily that we were in a post, if we are in a post, rules based order, I think it's possible that we were in a pre rules based order, and we have an opportunity to explore what a world would look like if we upheld democracy. Human rights, trade that actually centers working class people, instead of accruing overwhelmingly the benefits of trade to the wealthiest Um. But if we reoriented a new era that could actually help people and show how foreign policy and healthy foreign policy can show up and help them in their lives."

AOC: Hypocrisy is vulnerability. What we are seeking is a return to a rules-based order that eliminates the hypocrisies — when too often in the West, we’ve looked the other way for inconvenient populations, whether it is:

•Kidnapping a foreign head of state.
•Threatening our allies by talking about colonizing Greenland.
•Looking the other way during a genocide.

Hypocrisies are vulnerabilities, and they threaten democracies globally. So I think many of us are here to say: We are here, and we are ready for the next chapter — not to have the world turn toward isolation, but to deepen our partnerships with a greater commitment to integrity and to our values.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”

Zohran did the genial-leftist-relative-on-Thanksgiving thing where you pull the “I don’t like liberals either” card and are just super vague about everything else.

[Christian Talarski @ChristianJMT]

perhaps the only true thing he's ever said, as a fellow filet-o-fish enjoyer.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "No matter who you are, everybody loves something at McDonald's. I like the fish. Khhhhh. I like it. You could do a little bit more tartar sauce though please. Seriously."

[NYC-DSA 🌹 @nycDSA]

SOCIALISM WINS 🌹🌹🌹

NYC-DSA has been at the heart of Zohran’s campaign since day one. We were the first organization to endorse Zohran and have been the backbone of a historic field operation.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

The formative memories this game gave me are incredible. Kids today really miss out on *kid focused* areas of the Internet. Simpler times on the interwebs.

[That Penguin Game @ThatPenguinGame]

19 years ago today, Members were finally able to adopt Purple Puffles. Aunt Arctic was the first Penguin that owned one, which you could see in Mission 1 - Case of The Missing Puffles. Also the Purple Puffle was the first colour to be discovered, outside of the original four.

McDonald's is cutting combo meal prices 🍟

• They're offering financial support to franchises who agree to drop pricing

• Comes after CEO says prices are getting too high

[Christian Talarski @ChristianJMT]

classic neoliberalism, let's not directly help anyone but nudge companies to kind of do it. Democrats have been running this playbook for decades, I'm sure it's working well !

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

If a global company is paying its workers so little that they need federal benefits, that company should lose eligibility for tax incentives.

Nothing like the All American Rejects surprising a sold out crowd at Fenway with a little mid-game concert 😎

same old stuff, buzz words with pragmatic suggestions that don't shake the status quo too much. And this is the dems golden child rn
