One of the oddest parts of Reflect Orbtial’s schtick is its claim of “substantive discussions” with scientists and astronomers. Basically zero evidence of this or it having an impact thus far.

Taking a quick break to scream about the proposal and scream some more about how incredibly fucking terrible Reflect Orbital is https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/26/california-sunlight-space-mirrors-satellites

Freedom is easy to praise when someone else is bleeding for it. For Ukraine, it means the right to exist and refuse Moscow’s rule. Ukraine is still paying in blood for principles others now seem willing to negotiate away.

I have usually trusted @404media.co and this post single-handedly chipped at the foundations of that. If you post "AI is trivially doing it" as headline when the article describes that AI is actually killing it, you don't deserve my trust.

The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight

9 is just not enough, it took 3 tries to make this list, but King's Quest, the original Sub Logic/ Microsoft Flight sim, a Civ game, Goldeneye and Doug Smith's 1984 Dos port of Lode Runner and it's fantastic level editor should be in there too. My taste have just been shaped by too many platforms

Here's my 9 games. It's actually really hard to pick because I also really love Chrono Trigger, Skyrim, Heretic, The Sims, Tyrian, Deus Ex, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 and so many others, I could use a lot more slots than just 9.

All it took was getting kicked out of the White House press room and suddenly CNN remembers that "lie" is a word.

I love Loom so much. Played it on my 386 for my first time just a few years ago and it's beautiful.

Mark Ferrari is probably the man responsible for LOOM EGA being more highly regarded than the VGA version

Mark Ferrari worked for Chaosium and Lucasfilm/Arts in the 80s and early 90s, and you'll see his artistic talents in games such as LOOM and the Secret of Monkey Island. The images in the slideshow are ones created in Deluxe Paint II during this time.

Good to have a reminder every once in a while. It's easy to do, and the problem is likely to get worse. So make it a habit.

Wave Race 64 is in my top ten games of all time, and it's still one of my favorite games to play, it's just fun. It fills me with a special kind of nostalgia now, I can clearly remember the day I brought it home, and I just realized that I'm currently standing in the room that I first played it in.

Wave Race 64 turns 30 years old today! Tell me your gaming memories of the moistest game in town. 🫡 🌊
