It's not easy to succeed in bringing a U.S. defamation case but that doesn't NOT sound like "reckless disregard for the truth."

Vandal always seems vaguely apologetic that there's too much of some of him. More neck than usual. Tail too long by a few lengths. He's always trying to tuck everything neatly so it won't be noticed.

Giving the Hutt backer in Star Wars Galactic Racer a Jersey accent was an inspired choice.

It's Vandal.

The process of inventing leavened bread must have been some real adventure game bullshit, you know?

Hmm

Rest in peace, big man.

If nothing else, two fun facts you might not already know: (1) The Tragedy of The Commons is a specific, essentially wrong paper by a guy who turns out to suck, and (2) exploitative scholarly publishing is basically traceable to one guy, Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine.

www.gamespot.com/articles/sta... man the first big freelance job I got after the dot com crash was for a KOTOR walkthrough for GameSpot. Took me 12 days to write 60,000 words, just spent all day doing it. BioWare was a seminal studio and it's insane to think they're not going to be around anymore

Not just papering over a crisis of trust, papering over decades of neoliberal rot. The idea that AI can become civic tech without a massive, generational investment in civic infrastructure is just more scam politics.

"I don't think you should be allowed to buy cornrow braids for Dylan. I don't think that's allowed." -sentences that cause the rest of the discord voice chat to say "Oh no."

I try to keep those rugs straight but they just wrestle all over them.

there is a kind of collective suicidal exhaustion in the 70+ crowd as though the unspoken wish is to beat the end of civilization by being entombed alive with their family and possessions to all die together, the friction of living finally at an end, suburban pharoahood culminated

Stumbling out of the movie theater after You Can See Everything and saying in a Nathan Fielder voice: "Okay..."

something that occurred to me is, everyone knows it’s possible to become a musician with work and practice. but you can’t work on and practice music while staring slackjawed at your phone. the real promise of generative AI is the ability to ‘make’ ‘art’ without reducing your slackjawed scroll time

I got a haircut.

Dozens of masked settlers attacked Palestinian villagers and savagely beat a Washington Post photographer today. "Israeli troops arrived shortly before the attack, which seemed to embolden the settlers. Soldiers fired tear gas at Palestinians and 'did absolutely nothing about the settlers.'"

Maybe a week and a half at a comic book store? Quit over the phone. The owner is now a known sex pest banned from several conventions.

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.
