Bukele is the wildly popular and democratically elected leader of El Salvador. The Economist call him the ‘Dictator’. Maduro, according to virtually all other countries, stole the 2024 election in Venezuela, but is solemnly described by The Economist as ‘the President’. I’d genuinely like to know how and why the editorial team at the Economist makes these sorts of calls.
El Salvador’s dictator has put chatbots in schools and created what he calls “the best medical system in the world”. Now he needs another success story economist.com/the-americas/2…

Irony of the “OMG, hot women in video games = you’re a creepy loser,” only to find out those same people are just creepy losers projecting.

again chekov said "don't tell me a glass is broken, show me the pieces of glass glistening in the moonlight" it's about creating a text the reader can engage with
“show don’t tell” is one of those points of good writing often taken as gospel in online circles, but in truth good writing is nothing more than the ability to tell in interesting and novel ways. all fiction is various degrees of telling.

No one asked, but I kinda wanna give a crash course on how to engage in better media literacy cause i keep seeing posts like this. The best thing you can do to improve is simple: meet a story where it's at, ideally without preconceived notions. 🧵
the worst part about the literacy crisis is already thinking you are dumb as shit and knowing you arent even the worst of it

Gaben has done more to protect and embolden gaming then every single indie dev in existence and I will die on that hill. He's not just a dude pocketing money, he is literally the last guardian of the industry.
indie devs pay 30% to a guy with a *fleet* of megayachts while we eat our ramen packets, and he is beloved by all

A big part of why media literacy is so bad rn is because many people can’t imagine someone writing a character or scene that doesn’t exactly align with their personal beliefs. A woman’s corpse is not featured in the movie because the writer hates women.
The shot in Obsession of Sarah’s dead body in the house is the image that’s lingered with me from that movie the most because of how misogynistic and mean-spirited it is. Basically every time I think about that movie I like it less

Phāma appears to be a bit distressed. Whatever could be the reason? At Halo Fest, December 11-13, 2026, I will be submitting a 2-minute animation to its short film contest! This is by far the most ambitious thing I've worked on to date, and potentially the most beautiful. #halo

Replying to @shekelmanc64
Almost nothing about halo had Bible allusions.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Halo has numerous Biblical allusions including the Covenant, Flood (Noah parallel), Ark, Master Chief John-117 (John 1:17/Revelation 1:17), and Gravemind quote "Do not be afraid. I am peace; I am salvation." halopedia.org/List_of_refere… gamedeveloper.com/business/decip…

No. FemDraco's fun in an tsundere sort of way. FemGriffith becomes "Enough about women's rights. Let's talk about women's wrongs."
Everybody is talking about genderbent Draco but what about genderbent Griffith?

You will get readers who call a 15-year-old a pussy for throwing up after being forced to kill someone And I’m just thinking, when was the last time you got into a fight?
As a result, you get male characters who do make reasonable mistakes or misread certain situations and people get upset because they didn't immediately "lock in" for something most normal guys wouldn't.
