🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.

That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests.

Release everything. Let the truth come out. Or RESIGN!

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am a senior vice president at a $68.7 billion gaming company.

Activision-Blizzard.

We have a 30-year-old franchise.

Warcraft.

Millions of players. A subscription model that prints $15 a month per user. A cash shop on top of the subscription. Paid expansions on top of the cash shop.

Our former creative director just told the press he wishes we hadn't called it "Warcraft."

He said the name sounds intimidating.

He helped create the name.

We ran focus groups. The focus groups said the brand needed to be "more approachable." We asked the focus groups if they played the game. They did not. We took their advice anyway.

Our VP told an interviewer we want players to experience "weddings, raids, and new adventures." She listed weddings first. Before raids. In a game called Warcraft. Nobody in the room flinched.

She also said "No one thinks the same about Warhammer."

She compared our franchise unfavorably to a competitor. On the record. As a defense of the franchise.

The forums are on fire. Twenty-year veterans are writing goodbye posts. One thread is titled "Think I'm done with WoW." Another calls our pre-patch a "player purge."

We called our GDKP raiders "delusional."

We timed a cash shop bundle to launch during the Trading Post anniversary -- the one event where players earn free cosmetics. We offered 200 discounted items but kept the monthly currency cap at 1,000. The math doesn't work unless you open your wallet.

The community noticed. We described their concerns as "feedback we're monitoring."

We are always monitoring. We have never once changed course because of monitoring.

The players say we're "Disneyfying" the game. Turning gritty into cute. War into weddings. Orcs into mascots.

They're not wrong.

The data says approachable properties have wider TAM. Total addressable market. That's the metric now. Not "subscribers who love the game." Not "community that built this franchise." TAM.

TAM doesn't post on forums. TAM doesn't write goodbye letters. TAM doesn't have 20 years of muscle memory and lore knowledge and raid nights that turned into real friendships.

TAM is a number in a slide deck that makes a board feel comfortable.

We added player housing. Players have asked for it since 2004. We launched it in 2026. Twenty-two years. We described this as "listening to our community."

We are very good at listening. Eventually. When the feature aligns with a monetization roadmap.

Here is what I know and cannot say in a meeting:

The name was never the problem. The name built this. The name survived server crashes and subscription drops and an activision merger and a harassment scandal and a $68.7 billion acquisition.

The name is "Warcraft" and for 30 years nobody was confused about what it meant.

The problem is not that new players find the name intimidating.

The problem is that old players are starting to find us unrecognizable.

And we don't have a focus group for that.

BREAKING: Actor Ben Stiller just posted this letter to America:

“I love our country. But, like so many of us, I’m concerned about the future of our democracy.

We’ve now seen the violent murder of American citizens, killed in cold blood in broad daylight by masked ICE agents. These were our neighbors, their lives ended by armed militias entering our communities with impunity. They were denied due process in life and dignity in death by an administration who refuted the reality the world saw, shifting blame to the victims and creating false narratives about their lives and those fateful days.

The Framers of our Constitution believed in checks and balances to power, adding the Bill of Rights specifically to protect individual liberties from potential government overreach. And yet here we are. Innocent people are being harassed, separated from their families, and in some cases killed.

Peaceful protest is a constitutionally protected form of free speech that is essential to our existence as a democracy. We have the right to disagree with the actions of the government we elect. The First Amendment also names and protects the freedom of the press. And yet journalists and political commentators have been arrested. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”.

Our elected representatives, from the President and members of Congress to the people they appoint and approve, have a responsibility to act with integrity and honesty. To uphold our ideals and values as a nation. To not lie to us, in the face of the plain facts.

We must demand that they represent the expressed will of the people they serve, including removing ICE from our streets. We must demand justice and an end to this lethal chaos.

I believe we can reverse this slide toward division and hate. Facing this moment with a return to empathy and love for one another might sound naive, but it’s ultimately what will move our country forward and out of this.”

🚨 BREAKING: Gavin Newsom is sounding the alarm on the midterms.

“Wake up, America. If he rigs this election, you won’t have a country. You’ll have a president running for a third term.”

This isn’t hyperbole.

It’s a warning about power that refuses to let go and a test of whether Americans are paying attention.

The letter that Donald Trump sent to Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway is insane!

This is why you don't elect a narcissist to be your president.

Is this what you voted for, Trump's supporters?

[Henry Bolton OBE 🇬🇧 @_HenryBolton]

Let’s clarify something.

The United States does not “pay for NATO”.

The US maintains a global military presence of its own, of which European defence is just one part.

Yes, the US spends more on defence than the other NATO members combined, but only a fraction of that spending is allocated to NATO and European security. It amounts to about 10–15% of the full US defence budget, so equivalent to around $100–120 billion per year, and yes, that’s an extremely important contribution.

I’ve long argued for serious increases in UK defence spending and we must do far more, but let’s get the facts right. The UK and European members of NATO currently outspend the US on Europe’s defence by a factor of roughly 3:1. Also. European NATO defence spending is rising rapidly.

So, the claim that the US “pays for NATO” is highly misleading.

ICE agents detained a U.S. citizen legal observer in Minneapolis, smashing his car window, dragging him out, and placing a knee on his neck, conduct banned under Minnesota law after George Floyd.

Mark Ruffalo on Donald Trump: “The guy is a convicted felon, a convicted rapist, he’s a pedophile. He’s the worst human being in the world. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality then we’re all in a lot of trouble. I love this country and what I’m seeing here is not America”
