Ronin physicist.
Even giving the full quote, it's still framed in the article as some having an issue with "his association with Piker".

What association?
Perfect answer from Abdul El-Sayed on Piker's comments about al-Qaeda being worse than the United States. Good for him.

I still can't believe an entire major political party is intent on propping this up at this point.
Trump: "If we stopped trading with every country that we have a deficit with -- which is most of them, and which would be very easy to do -- we would make at least $1.5 trillion a year."

Just imagine any other president even joking about making FEMA aid contingent on election results. It would be a major story for months.
Trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it."

Crowd: *groans*
September 17, 2026 at 12:08 AM
Sure. Just look at how much money I saved when I stopped buying food. No more trade deficit with the grocery store for me!
Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

IGN is only as good as it is because of the people there. It would be nice if the management would understand that.
Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

I am expecting there to be one very weird FOIA request being written by someone as we speak.
Wild that there must have been enough cases of bestiality in their potential recruits that they had to loosen hiring rules to get enough of them in.
PATEL: The previous regulation automatically disqualified any individual who participated in either side of it

KENNEDY: Either side of beastiality? So you disqualified the animal?

P: Well, we have great canines, but we're not going to disqualify them

K: I'm trying to understand why you did this.

Seth, Brian, and now Clint? Not that I don't really like a lot of the folks still at IGN, but these are some of my favorite hosts for years getting booted. I've been enjoying Clint's podcasts since the weekly Cinefix Roundtable before they got picked up by IGN, not to mention the excellent Top 100
Well friends, that's it for me. This week IGN let me go, effective immediately. It's been a pleasure talking about movies and TV and to anybody that's read/watched/laughed at any of my work on IGN and CineFix over the years, here's a heartfelt thank you to contrast the grimace in this picture.

Once official resources are used on their behalf, that use is fair game.
BOOKER: But in March after Elizabeth Williamson reported that you used a SWAT detail to protect and drive your girlfriend, you agents interviewed your girlfriend about the reporting. Is that true?

KASH PATEL: Why are you talking about my loved ones? Stop attacking me and my loved ones
September 15, 2026 at 4:25 PM
But you fuck one goat...

and you, too, could enjoy a fulfilling career in the modern FBI.
Kash Patel: "Applicants who have engaged in beastiliaty means they were victims of beastility because they were forced to do so. At this FBI we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving."

Modern video game industry: Do poor work, get laid off. Do great work, get laid off. Developers and journalists both subject to the whims of line-go-up execs.

This is not sustainable.

I wonder if we'll ever reckon with the fact that the presidential daily brief is likely now 50% made-up bullshit and AI images.
Trump: "I’ve just received a Report that the United States is producing more Exquisite and Elite Weapons than at any time in our History."

How were they weeks away when Trump had already "obliterated" their capabilities just a year prior?

Was he lying then, or is he lying now, Mike?
TAPPER: Inflation has gone up bc of the war in Iran & tariffs. So why should the American people not hold Trump & Republicans accountable for this economy?

MIKE JOHNSON: It's not 'Trump's war in Iran.' Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism & they were within weeks of having a nuclear bomb

A CIA film releasing on 9/11? This means something. Let me get my white board and red yarn.

Premise? You need a premise? It's The Muppet Show. Kermit spends 30 minutes trying to herd cats backstage while guest-of-the-week bounces off various appropriate Muppets.

Don't overthink it.
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.

Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

By the end of his term, he'll be telling us about how he saved Private Ryan.
Has Trump described how he tried to save Charlie yet today?
September 10, 2026 at 3:50 PM
Also, illegal. Maybe lead with that.
Trump’s presidency is so failed and broken, he is resorting to trying to bribe the American people for their votes.

An insult to Americans, to democracy, and an admission of how absolutely screwed he is.
Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."
September 10, 2026 at 3:47 PM
Oh, for fuck's sake. You don't have to agree to throw any subgroup under the bus just to appease shitty voters.

Because when you're a star, they let you do it?
Fox News' John Roberts: "CENTCOM could reach out and touch Iran wherever it wants, whenever it wants, however it wants. And the Iranians seem powerless to do anything about it."

For just a moment, I thought the trailer was a feint and breaking the skybox would lead to a new Smash game.
