(🎮) My favorite video game podcast is the #CUPodcast (hosted by Pat Contri, @PatTheNESpunk, and Ian Ferguson, @pxlsicle), so when it covers a RETRO article, it totally makes my week. Here Pat and Ian discuss RETRO's Definitive Top 100 Video Game Consoles!
(🎮) In case you missed the last #CUPodcast that covered a RETRO article, here Pat and Ian discuss RETRO's Definitive Top 100 Worst NES Games. (As you might guess, the article is a *massive*—largest-ever—curation of expert and industry-outlet assessments.)
(🔒) Just to close the circle here, below is a direct link to the recent "Definitive Top 100 Video Game Consoles" article at RETRO (an exclusive for RETRO subscribers; a subscription is just $5/month, the lowest subscription rate that Substack will allow). retrostack.substack.com/p/the-definiti…
(🔒) And here's the Definitive Top 100 Worst NES Games mass curation that I published at RETRO. I've got many more such articles coming soon: Top 100 Best NES Games; Top 100 Best NES Games Not Released in America; Top 100 NES Shooters; and much, much more. retrostack.substack.com/p/the-definiti…
(🚀) As I think most you know from reading prior posts with the "RETRO rocket" emoji attached to them, RETRO is about much more than games. It covers music, film, digital culture, books, comics, and more—including no-politics Q&As that are... pretty wild. retrostack.substack.com

(🔒) NEW: Here's the updated version of the PROOF exclusive, "The Durham Indictment of Igor Danchenko Is An Embarrassment to the Department of Justice."

This is the article that has Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi mad at me and trolls attacking in droves. sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-durham-i…
1/ Understand that right now we're in the midst of a national disinformation campaign by Greenwald, Taibbi, and even some actual journalists to erase the history of the Trump-Russia scandal and rewrite the whole episode as exactly the "hoax" Trump always falsely claimed it to be.
2/ This disinformation campaign is among the most virulent of any such campaign I've seen from the far right since January 6.

Its purpose is wholly transparent: to clear the way for Trump's re-emergence into presidential politics by whitewashing the history we all lived through.

(🔒) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: In an effort to help combat the rampant misinformation about the Steele dossier that has accompanied the almost implausibly weak Danchenko indictment, I'm publishing the "kompromat" chapter of Proof of Collusion for PROOF subscribers: sethabramson.substack.com/p/proof-exclus…
1/ For those who don't know, Proof of Collusion was a NYT-bestselling work of curatorial journalism that used literally thousands of major-media sources—all of which are cited in the book—to offer the most reliable compendium of information about the 2016 Trump campaign anywhere.
2/ The "Kompromat" chapter of the book is one of several that addresses the Steele dossier. It focuses particularly on the "Ritz Moscow" allegation from the first page of the dossier, and does so by seeking *every single piece of corroboration* for that intel available worldwide.

I don't know anything about this guy. All I know is that I watched him just *one* time—he was doing some chicken-sandwich "taste test" on YouTube—and he was being so aggro and arrogant to his staffers it turned me off immediately. No clue what his deal is. businessinsider.com/barstool-sport…
😳

"In 2020, Madison sent Portnoy a direct message on Instagram complimenting his famous 'one bite' pizza reviews. 'Sick pizza reviews,' she wrote. 'Thanks fly bitch,' Portnoy responded. She was a 20-year-old college student at the time, Portnoy a 43-year-old multimillionaire."
😳

WTF?

"The conversation soon moved to Snapchat and text, where it quickly turned to the topic of sex. He sent her graphic videos of other women he'd slept with, according to Madison, and in messages reviewed by Insider, he pressed her to tell him about her sexual fantasies."

(THREAD) I'm going to itemize every factual inaccuracy in this NYT article—while telling you in advance that none of them will be fixed. I wrote a NYT bestseller on the subject these men have written a story on, so I know *exactly* what needs correcting. nytimes.com/2021/11/04/us/…
ERROR #1: The NYT calls Steele's work "Democratic-funded opposition research." In fact it was first funded by anti-Trump Republicans. After Trump won the 2016 primary, it *later* came to be funded by Democrats. So it was "anti-Trump research" funded by *both* parties' faithful.
ERROR #2: The NYT writes that Steele's work "turned out to be" opposition research funded by Democrats—implying Steele hid the nature of the work from media and the FBI. Not only did he *not* do this, but he *didn't even know who had contracted him*. Fusion GPS never told him.

After how major media overreacted to a couple of races yesterday, they should never again refer to independent journalists or even social media discourse as melodramatic and hyperventilating. Talk about over-journalisming—the reaction to yesterday was preposterously over-the-top.
Before yesterday, everyone in politics agreed Democrats were facing a headwind because of two moderates blocking any action in Congress, the pandemic, and supply-chain issues—all things out of their hands. Today, everyone is pretending to be shocked by mixed-bag election results.
Any journalist who wanted to go on-air today and describe things from yesterday that *genuinely surprised them* was free to do so.

Instead, we got the conventional wisdom from *two* days ago re-packaged as a shocking (shocking!) new development.

Nope—it’s about what we thought.

(🔒) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Evidence Mounts of Team Trump Plot to Occupy the Capitol on January 6

There's a reason Glenn Youngkin wouldn't let Trump set foot in Virginia. There's a reason Trump is fighting records disclosure. He aided a criminal conspiracy. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-breaki…
(PS) In just the few hours since I first published this, I've received a tsunami of tips—from January 6 video of Alex Jones talking about "occupying" the Capitol to more quotes from Trump lawyers about occupation to documents that further corroborate the evidence we already have.
(PS2) Lost in the media focus on a single state-level race yesterday—to the exclusion of historic Democratic wins in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, and other potential battleground states—is the fact that Youngkin won in part by *avoiding* Trump.
