IGN is just a joke at this point. They gave the industry plant Mixtape a 10 but Subnautica 2, the most wishlisted game on Steam, a 7. I think they're laughing and baiting us. There's no serious journalism nowadays.


Unfortunately in Seattle, we have to acknowledge the very real possibility this was yet another random, extremely violent killing enabled by a dysfunctional criminal justice system in the PNW. Juniper Blessing, a 19-year-old UW student, was stabbed over 40 times in the laundry room of his off-campus housing. That level of overkill is pure monstrosity. RIP Juniper. No one deserves that. There are early reports this individual had been stalking women in the area. At the same time, as a trans-identified male presenting femininely, it's also possible Juniper simply suffered the fate that many women alone at night face in unsafe spaces. Feminine men can become targets too. We still don't know the full story. This could have been: .Random predatory violence .A passion or personal dispute .A meet-up gone wrong where the killer didn't initially know Juniper was male .Or, less likely but possible, something politically motivated Right now the suspect is Christopher Michael Leahy, 31, who turned himself in. Police haven't released a clear motive. All of it is condemnable. Every act of violence like this should be prosecuted to the fullest extent. But we do no justice to the victim by rushing to turn this into a political football before the facts are in: whether that's activists screaming "hate crime" or others leaping to their preferred narrative. Seattle's broader problems with crime, soft-on-crime policies, and declining public safety are real and worth debating. Student housing shouldn't feel this dangerous. But this specific tragedy deserves clarity, not mobilization. Wait for the evidence: suspect background, digital records, witness statements, full autopsy. Then we can speak plainly. All murder is wrong. The monster who did this needs to face real justice. #JuniperBlessing




I get called a chink every day and have never suckerpunched or threatened anyone over it.


One funny thing about the recent Hasan Piker discourse is that a fairly popular centrist streamer *does* exist. He just behaves like this online, so no elected official or think tanker can acknowledge him


helping my potna break up with his gf😂😂😂😂



I'm not far-left I'm just a liberal from 1789



WELL I was assaulted by a schizo homeless guy today in Toronto. I was walking to the grocery store when he started stalking me. I tried to get away from him but it didn’t work. He grabbed me, pinned me against a fence, and then tried to break my hand to steal my phone. Three people passing by helped save me. The police were quick and kind, but the officer I spoke with told me this guy had been arrested for attacking people repeatedly in the past month, and “fair warning, a judge will probably let him out by tomorrow morning.” 🫠 lovely system we got goin on here folks
