Gray?

I’ll let it do whatever it wants to do. I already get frustrated with my curly hair because I resent the amount of time it takes to care for it. And I stopped colouring my hair for similar reasons years ago. So whatever it does, it does! That being said, it’s beginning to look like I may take after my father, and not go grey…

Food should not be a commodity

It was definitely there with agriculture. Hunter gatherers had a lot of different ways of organizing their societies but early agrarian societies quickly developed a military caste and despotic governments.

Layoffs expected as new Xbox chief forces hard reset in Microsoft division

Microsoft’s Xbox division is reportedly planning layoffs as new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma plans a “reset” for the beleaguered gaming business. Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources, first reported Wednesday that Xbox was planning “major job cuts” within the division in early July after Microsoft’s fiscal year ends on June 30. The same day, Sharma and Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty said in a memo to employees that after their first 100 days on the job reviving Xbox, the next 100 days would be devoted to a major overhaul — or a reset, to borrow gaming parlance. After touting the recent successes of Xbox — Microsoft has been hard at work to reverse the decline in subscribers to its Game Pass service — Sharma and Booty laid out the realities the gaming business needs to navigate. Microsoft has poured billions of dollars into its gaming division over the past five years, even excluding the $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard. The memo said investments in Xbox have surpassed $20 billion since 2021. At the same time, the division’s annual revenue has declined by nearly $500 million. “Going forward, this cannot continue,” the memo said. Amid the artificial intelligence boom, which has helped boost Microsoft’s cloud computing sales, Xbox is facing a hardware component crisis. The cost of storage components for gaming hardware has quadrupled since last fall and Microsoft expects another significant increase heading into 2026 holiday shopping season. As AI demand increases, companies have been spending more on specialized hardware. That coupled with AI’s extraordinary need for memory is leading to higher costs. For consumers that means demand is outpacing supply for Xbox consoles. Because of this, Xbox needs a new business model for its next-generation console, code-named Helix, according to the memo. “Our current platform infrastructure is not built for the battle ahead. … We’ve become too reliant on vendors to operate our systems and must become more self-reliant as an engineering culture to build for the future,” the memo said.

"The US is building a machine to watch the world" [YouTube]

Vote progressives, socialists and trade unionists all the way. It’s always been this way, and the Capitalists just keep coming up with ways to make culture wars and smear campaigns and the middle class keeps thinking they’re just one big win away from being billionaires themselves… And they keep the system going just enough for it not to implode.

'This Fight Isn't Over': Opponents Turn to State AGs After DOJ Approves Paramount-Warner Merger

The US Department of Justice on Friday approved Paramount Skydance Corporation’s megamerger with Warner Bros. Discovery, prompting opponents of the $110 billion deal to place their hopes of blocking it in the hands of Democratic state attorneys general. The DOJ’s Antitrust Division approved the merger without requiring divestitures or behavioral remedies—a significant win for billionaire Paramount CEO David Ellison. Analysts and critics had suggested the DOJ might require sales of some of the corporation’s numerous cable networks, streaming services, film and television studios, sports programming rights, or media outlets. The DOJ also reportedly declined to impose conduct restrictions on bundling, distribution, licensing commitments, and other areas. “If we had an uncorrupted Department of Justice, Paramount would not even have tried to merge with Warner Bros. Discovery, in plain violation of the law," Robert Weissman, co-president of the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, said in response to the news of the DOJ approval. “If it had, a Department of Justice that was doing its job would have rushed to court to block the merger the moment it was announced.” “Now, however, a compromised DOJ has rubber-stamped a merger that consolidates power for the Ellisons, one of [President Donald]Trump’s preferred oligarch families," Weissman added. “This merger will jack up prices for consumers, cost workers their jobs and, most importantly, limit the range of viewpoints permitted to air on the major media or appear in movies and creative outlets. Put simply, this is an anti-free speech merger." This is terrible news for every American who doesn’t want Trump-aligned billionaires to control what they watch and how much they pay.The Paramount-Warner Bros. deal has reeked of corruption and influence-peddling.This fight isn’t over. State AGs must block this merger. [image or embed] — Elizabeth Warren (@warren.senate.gov) June 12, 2026 at 1:48 PM Craig Aaron, co-CEO of the advocacy group Free Press, said in a statement: “Despite all the talk about conducting a thorough investigation, the fix was in at the Trump Justice Department from the start. Paramount Skydance has fêted, flattered, and promised sweeping changes to news coverage to win the administration’s approval, despite evidence that giving one corporation this much media power—all the movie studios, cable channels, and newsrooms—will undermine competition, destroy jobs, slant the news, and endanger our democracy." “We’ve already seen how far Paramount and the Ellison family are willing to go to diminish a once-proud network and news organization like CBS, and they promise to do worse if they get their hands on Warner Bros., HBO, CNN, and all the rest," he added. “The Ellisons aren’t hiding their intentions, and no weak concessions will make this deal any better.” Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, warned earlier this week that approval of the merger would result in “the same kind of unprecedented pro-MAGA editorial control we have seen at CBS News and ‘60 Minutes.’” Raskin also contended that the merger could mean that “American consumers, who already pay an average $69 a month for streaming on top of $100 a month for cable and $78 for internet,” will pay “even more for sports, news, and entertainment.” As Politico’s Yasmin Khorram reported Friday: The [DOJ] decision… paves the way for Paramount to combine with the entertainment and media company behind a vast film and television studio, CNN, and the HBO Max streaming service, which would be combined with Paramount+ to create a new offering boasting about 200 million subscribers. The deal, which would upend the Hollywood ecosystem by combining two historic rival studios, is opposed by many in the entertainment industry who fear it could lead to mass layoffs, among other concerns. The DOJ’s reported approval of the merger does not necessarily mean the deal is done. Several states are weighing antitrust challenges, most notably California, where the office of Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta is conducting what he called a “vigorous” review of the proposed merger to determine how it would impact competition in entertainment, streaming, advertising, and labor markets. Reuters reported earlier this month that California, New York, and other states are preparing a lawsuit aimed at blocking the merger. “The good news is, this is not the last word on the matter," Weissman said. “Competition authorities in the states and other countries can still follow the law and stand up for the public interest against this media consolidation. Now that the federal government has abandoned antitrust enforcement in favor of cronyism and runaway consolidation, state attorneys general must step in to block this deal.” Aaron said that states “have strong case for blocking this merger, and many brave journalists, filmmakers, and workers in the entertainment industry have spoken out against the dangers of this deal despite threats to their livelihoods.” “They are warning us what will happen if this deal goes through, and we must listen,” he added. "The attorney generals have the evidence they need to stop this deal; now the public needs them to take action.” Last year’s merger between Paramount Global, Skydance Media, and National Amusements was itself opposed by critics who sounded similar alarms over corruption, antitrust issues, labor concerns, and attacks on editorial independence. CBS, a Paramount Global company, announced the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” during the merger review period. While Paramount claimed the cancellation was a financial decision, critics said its timing suggested at least indirect political pressure, given Colbert’s vocal criticism of Trump and the need for merger approval from the Federal Communications Commission. FCC Chair Brendan Carr was appointed by Trump and has been dogged by allegations that he’s more loyal to the president’s agenda than to his agency’s stated mission. One of the biggest recurring flashpoints involves claims of corporate pressure and censorship at CBS’ venerable “60 Minutes” weekly current affairs program. Numerous former “60 Minutes” journalists and others have accused Bari Weiss—the right-wing podcaster who became CBS News editor-in-chief after the merger—of political censorship. Earlier this month, a coalition of press freedom groups warned that recent firings of “60 Minutes” journalists were a “grotesque effort taken straight from an authoritarian handbook” that posed a much wider threat to democracy, and highlighted that an approved Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger would hand control of CNN, a Warner Bros. company, to the same billionaire family that now owns CBS. The coalition argued that the merger “would open the door to improper political meddling in journalists’ editorial decisions" and “alter CNN’s editorial direction (not to mention meddle with HBO’s documentaries) to be more friendly to the [Trump] administration, threatening press freedom.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

Fifa drops Somali referee from World Cup after US denies entry

Football governing body Fifa has removed Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan from the 2026 World Cup officiating roster after American authorities denied him entry into the country, ending what would have been the first World Cup finals appearance by a Somali match official. Artan, the Confederation of African Football’s men’s referee of the year in 2025, was barred from entering the US at Miami International Airport and is currently in Turkey. US immigration authorities have not publicly provided a reason for the decision. In a statement, Fifa said Artan would be unable to participate in the tournament after discussions with US authorities.

Trump Super PAC to Hold $1 Million-Per-Plate Fundraiser as Hunger Surges

A super political action committee created to support Donald Trump is preparing to hold a big-money fundraiser at the president’s Virginia golf course that will charge attendees $1 million each. As reported by NBC News, MAGA, Inc. will host the $1 million-per-plate event at the Trump National Golf Club Washington DC on the day before the president is set to host Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events at the White House as part of his 80th birthday celebration. “The fundraiser is at least the sixth such $1 million-per-person event held by Trump-aligned groups for the midterm elections,” reported NBC News. “Republicans at nearly all levels hold a significant midterm cash advantage over Democrats, who expect to be outpaced financially in many key House and Senate races.” Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, linked the ritzy fundraiser to Trump’s economic policies that have primarily benefited the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the working class. “The comingling of 250th anniversary events, Trump’s UFC fight, and a $1 million per-plate fundraiser on Trump’s own birthday,” Gilbert said, “gives corporate interests and wealthy donors not just an ultimate fight—but the ultimate opportunity to pay tribute to the president. Rather than celebrate our nation’s anniversary in the bipartisan manner directed by Congress, the Trump administration has directed public money and public property to politicized events.” “Major corporations, such as Chevron, Exxon, MasterCard, and many more,” Gilbert added, “should be ashamed to be associated with this corrupt spectacle.” The fundraiser comes as a recent study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York showed food insecurity in the US has reached its highest levels since the Covid-19 pandemic. The New York Fed researchers said their study found “a remarkable increase in food insecurity, particularly among lower-educated and lower-income households and households with young children,” as well as “a contemporaneous increase in pessimism among the same groups, along with a sharp decline in job-finding expectations.” The researchers noted that “while many households are doing fine and economic activity overall has been expanding at a solid pace,” there are large numbers of people “facing high levels of economic insecurity and financial strain,” which has resulted in plunging overall consumer sentiment.

The decision is being made on Stop Killing Games! + The ESA can't stop lying.

The basic idea is that if your game is designed in such a way that it must be always online to substantially function… … when that always online support ends, you must provide a final patch and release enough of the server architecture that, if people wanted to, indpendently, they at least could set up their own version of the serverside stuff. Either that, or, you must refund all microtransactions made in that always online world that is now by definition, impossible to access. If microtransactions are digital goods, then shutting down the servers without any ability to emulate/run them yourself is the equivalent of half of your closet’s contents disappearing from existence when the clothing brand goes out of business.

I watched ads for local companies liquidating server rooms, and walked away with a 42u Dell rack for a pretty good bargain. Took a couple months of monitoring though.

Rise and Grind folks buying their CEO a new summer house

Same. Had a supplier unexpectedly close down. The company makes medical devices, and the design on some components was quite old. We’re talking hand drawn designs, no CAD files. I got new sourcing for roughly 500 components. Long hours, saved the company from having any production stoppages. I busted my ass and kept the multi-million dollar per day revenue generation production line going. As a thank you for my efforts, I got some points equivalent to like $500 on a company incentive site where you can get gift cards and shitty TVs and household goods. Annual review came up. 2.5% raise. Fuck right off.

Sunday is Gaming Day: What Are You Playing Weekly Thread

The news about the Touhou 6 remake has gotten me in the mood to play more of the original again. I wanted to give Lunatic difficulty a try since I never really did before, my best run was a Hard 1cc. So far it has just been nose to the grindstone on routing and practicing bosses. I’m working on Stage 4 but it’s really tough, lots of moments where if you hesitate for even a moment you are in big trouble. Some of Patchouli’s spell cards are really kicking my ass too. I’m both excited for and dreading Stage 5 because I know Sakuya is gonna be a major skill check. I might take a break at some point and try the Extra Stage too, I had routed it in the past but was never able to clear it.
