I run a symphony, PhD student at Texas Tech University, adjunct professor...and I do not use this account to represent those professional roles. You are warned.

Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.

My biggest issue with PlayStation moving away from physical games isn’t just “I like discs.”

It’s competition.

Digital was sold as convenience: no store trip, no packaging, no waiting. Cool. But it was never cheaper. Physical has almost always been where the deals are because retailers compete, run loss leaders, clear stock, and there’s a second-hand market.

Remove physical and you remove all of that.

No borrowing a game from a mate. No resale. No trade-ins. No preowned copy for someone on a budget. No EB/JB/Amazon/Big W fighting over who has the cheapest launch price. No real alternative storefront.

Just PlayStation Store, PlayStation’s price, PlayStation’s rules, and PlayStation’s cut.

That’s not just “the future.” That’s anti-consumer and anti-competitive.

Convenience is great. A closed market where one company controls access, pricing, licensing, and availability is not.

@CultureCrave @VGC_News Is there a similar coalition for the same cause other media, like movies, that you could partner with?

This will be the future of digital only games. You are kidding yourself if you believe otherwise.

@PlayStation Hey remember this one?

@PlayStation You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair.

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

There is no longer any doubt: an American missile destroyed a school in Iran.

A massacre of children. A war crime. Those responsible must be prosecuted. Hegseth must resign. And this war must end.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

First Israel supporters claimed the video of Tehran burning after an Israeli strike on the refinery was fake. It was real.

Then they claimed the video of the huge pro-govt protest in Tehran was fake. It was real.

Then they said it was a lie that the US blew up the school:

Disappointing.

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth:

“Terrorist regimes target civilians, we do not.”

According to UNICEF the U.S. has already hit 20 schools, 10 hospitals, and killed over 1,300 civilians including 300 children.

So by Hegseth’s own logic the U.S. is a terrorist regime.

The older I get, the more I do not find the price of war acceptable.

This has never been is an acceptable price of war.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people — was the result of a targeting mistake. https://t.co/88FIdIJOQi

I actually think this proposal is one of the very few that could unite Americans across all demographic, ideological and partisan lines:

If this is real, this is nuts

[Clint Russell @LibertyLockPod]

You occasionally get a moment that symbolizes everything wrong with this country. In this case it's a U.S. Marine veteran screaming out that no one wants to fight for Israel and a U.S. Senator breaking his arm. A perfect encapsulation of US foreign policy.

[Ethan P Wills @wills_ethan]

These parties look awful when they sit in solidarity, regardless of what is said at #SOTU2026 . It’s ridiculous, as is the Democratic Party.

[Oli London @OliLondonTV]

Democrats refuse to stand for the mother of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee stabbed by a career criminal on a bus in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Trump:

“How do you not stand?”

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Chuck Schumer is obviously going to support a new US war in the Middle East against Israel's main enemy -- exactly as he did 20 years ago when supporting the Bush/Cheney war in Iraq -- and his only critique to the WH is: make the case to the American people a bit better.
