My EB Games story, my "day in a sleeping bag" story, my story about the Gamesmen store murder, my ageism in games story. All completely gone. This is fucking me up.

New Jersey was just named #1 in the nation for solar-friendliness by @CNET – the only state with an A rating! We are proud to offer some of the strongest solar incentives in the country as we continue leading the way toward a clean energy future.
Just like that, Americans see something transformational: a leader putting his country ahead of any personal interest or ambition. A seismic jolt of energy that raises the bar on all of us to get out there and do whatever it takes to win this election.

Bugger. There goes the house tonic.
Great spot, this. @FeverTreeMixers and @Starbucks on the partnership banner for the Republican National Convention.

The legal max a person can donate to a candidate is $3300. But, when billionaires like Elon Musk exploit our broken campaign finance laws to donate $45 million a month to a candidate, we’re no longer a democracy and it’s no longer an election — it’s an oligarchy and an auction.
All the le epic meme shitposting pretending he's some edgy outsider and at the end of the day he's exactly what you thought he was, a robber Baron plutocrat who wants more tax cuts.
🚨#BREAKING: Elon Musk plans to support Donald Trump's campaign by contributing $45 million a month to a new super PAC aimed at electing President Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal
After 102 games and almost eight years in charge, Gareth Southgate has announced he is to leave his role as manager of the #ThreeLions.
Since 2001, Spanish men's sides — clubs & national team — have appeared in 22 major finals against teams from other countries. They have won all of them. @NickMiller79 & @GuillermoRai_ explain a remarkable winning run that's on the line against England in the #Euro2024 final.
I think it'll probably take years for everybody to realise what this man has done and the humility and decency with which he did it. Flawed, but still here.
🗣️ "Whatever happens on Sunday might define me for others, but won't define me for myself" Is it written in the stars for Gareth Southgate's side? 🏴🏆 #Euro2024 | #ESPENG
I still can't believe it, but 🗣️ I am hosting the Dragon Age panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year!!
Exciting news #DragonAge fans, we’re going to be at #SDCC later this month! Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the community, we can't wait to see you there.
Historic moment:
UK now has the most openly non-religious House of Commons in history, with 40% of MPs choosing secular affirmation instead of oath to God, up from 24% after 2019 election. These include Prime Minister Keir Starmer and 50% of the Cabinet. Read more ⬇️ humanists.uk/2024/07/11/hig…
The dumbest organisation in the world when it comes to social media videos. The number of big Champions League moments that are almost impossible to share because everything is geoblocked.
UEFA, Instagram, and X ruin a killer Euro 2024 celebration. The Killers paused their gig at London’s O2 Arena to celebrate England’s Euro 2024 semifinal win, and UEFA is taking down the videos 👎 theverge.com/2024/7/11/2419…
give Southgate his (brandon) flowers
Tonight we played for England 🏴!
