Gaming has become a corporatized industry that often takes years to churn out mediocre, woke, and worst of all, un-fun video games. But using AI, indie developers are now turning classic games into delightfully absurd new creations. You can now 360 no-scope a Creeper while doing a kickflip. (Or in simpler terms, one developer combined Minecraft, Call of Duty, and Skate 3 into one.) Another AI modder, @p_e_cooper, took Call of Duty: World at War’s Zombies mode and added Wii Bowling, rock-paper-scissors, and a DJ booth. Is this a new golden age of gaming, or will corporate giants ruin all the fun again? Read the new piece by @evanmilenko 👇

Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore: "Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

I used to think that welfare was stealing from taxpayers to give to the poor. Now I realize that it's stealing from the middle class to give to the poor and the rich.

Especially when since then we’ve taken on entrenched interests to deliver big wins on immigration, education, gender ideology, crime, and Covid. Basic IQ test.
The effort to paint Ron DeSantis, who founded the freedom caucus and was the biggest pain in the ass for leadership in Congress, into some “establishment” guy is so lazy and dumb.

This is the truth. I’m glad we slayed gender ideology and protected women’s sports in Florida years ago, but just banging that drum every two years is not going to cut it with so many other issues that need to be addressed.
Gov. Ron DeSantis says he knew Republicans were in trouble when he saw them spending hundreds of millions on transgender ads. DeSantis went to war with Disney over gender ideology in 2022. Even he says Republicans were "fighting in yesterday's battle." DESANTIS: "I knew Republicans were in trouble when I was reading an overview about what they were running ads on. And they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars across the country on on transgender ads." "Look, I fought Disney on gender ideology… But that was not the issue motivating voters." "It was kind of like an attempt to just scare Republicans to vote." "Republicans… they really were fighting in yesterday's battle."… Last month, Pew asked Republican voters which issues mattered most. Their top 5: the economy, immigration, the future of democracy, violent crime, and the size of government. Transgender issues ranked 15th out of 16.

Another notable moment: DeSantis seemed to singal that culture-war issues are no longer salient with voters. “Four years ago we were in the peak woke era. It alienated a lot of people. …Now the issues are different, and Republicans—it seemed like with some of the ads I was seeing, with how much money they were spending—they were really fighting yesterday’s battle.”
Must-watch presser from DeSantis: He got *very* candid about why Republicans got walloped in midterms, demurred when asked whether the GOP should look to him as a “savior” and didn’t rule out out another presidential run.

DeSantis is the front runner for 2028 after tonight. It seems he started prepping yesterday.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis: Some of these Republicans are saying, "Oh, well, the gas, don't worry. It's no big deal." Or they're trying to blame Biden. No, no. Listen, we've just got to be honest. Gas is higher. It hurts people, working-class people, and it's higher because of the Iran conflict. That's just the fact. If you can't admit that to voters, then you're gaslighting them, and they're not going to listen to you on other things.

This about all the Jews you know slowly leaving the Democratic Party. The NYT chooses to lead with this person. (1/)
NEW: For much of the last century, Jewish Americans have been a essential pillar of the Democratic Party coalition, especially in New York. But in recent years public polling indicates a growing dissatisfaction among Jewish Democrats and their party. nytimes.com/2026/11/02/nyreg…

🚨🚨 Abdul El-Sayed surrogate Hasan Piker crashes out over El-Sayed’s canvassers knocking doors in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Piker compares it to “going to that like Klan KKK neighborhood to stump for like a Black candidate.” “It’s racial supremacy. It’s Jewish supremacy. What do you think it is? Yeah, clip it and post it.” Piker, a dual citizen who grew up in Turkey, then rages at a Jewish Democrat in Oakland County who says she is voting for Mike Rogers: “If it’s so dangerous, go live in Israel… You fucking idiot. You fucking moron… You fucking psycho.”

See the last point here: xitter.gq/aghamilton29/status/21… Much of the substantive evidence that the marriage was fraudulent and part of an immigration scheme has been publicly available for a long time. Many people/media just chose to ignore it and attack anyone who brought it up.

I think it’s cool for so many world leaders to flee their home countries to live in Florida. Where else really? Very Florida coded Going into Publix in South Florida and chatting it up with Flavio Bolsonaro, Bibi’s failson, sounds normal
