I wonder if Americans would understand ultra capitalism (and socialism) better if we renamed "donations" as "self-imposed taxes."

We are approaching the warmest global surface air temperature anomaly on record (1.15C on Nov 18 2023) as record El Niño approaches peak: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu

I have many gripes with Obama's presidency (I decided to apply to my current US job right after he was elected, feeling good about the move) but you can't deny he's one of the most talented public speakers that are politicians

Police estimates of protesters in Paris alone seem very conservative. From aerial footage, looks way more than 110,000. Meanwhile, police starts erupting:

Been waiting for a package for a while and I see why it's taking so long

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

Thank you, BioWare, for everything. You deserved better.

Instead of AI, we should be asking tech companies for HI: Human Intelligence

Played in 3 prerift events for the new Riftbound set, Radiance, this weekend. 1-7-1 record and an awesome haul, plus had a great time as everyone was friendly and welcoming <3

Tired: Coding with LLMs is an iterative process of automated requirement (prompt) parsing linked to program templates that are matched and evolved by complex maths techniques. Wired: Vibe-coding is coding without the programming. Hired: Vibe-coding is coding without coding.

Heard on an NPR radio interview of the rockband group Fontaine DC two words that represent the current era so well: Really real

School shootings happen this often because Republican politicians think gun worship is good for their careers.

We're all snacks for the superrich

What does this make you think of? "A world of knowing very little"

Everyone sees marketing from the viewpoint of the output. The trailer, the pictures, the screenshots, the nice asset, the copy. But no one sees the ugliness of putting this content together. When we say "labor of love," we mean that we're willing to go through the mud :D

This was an instant buy! The Truth is out there on NPR radio shopnpr.org/products/i-w...

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

For the non-Americans who wonder how Americans can get into deep medical debt despite having medical insurance:

Did you know more than 90% of the new energy capacity added to the U.S. grid in recent years has come from clean energy? Not even Trump can stop the clean energy transition. ⚡️🌱 You can find my full conversation with Chris Hayes, available on MS NOW: www.ms.now/video-podcas...

I only realized there was a free Switch 2 upgrade for Ball x Pit after completing all levels on all characters. At least I have it to complete the Encyclopedia and the expansion in November!

Ten hours of an intensifying Tropical Storm #Isaias on October 7, from sunrise to sunset.

For much of the past month, students in France, alongside teachers and union members, have protested against poor conditions in schools. Thousands were arrested after a day of nationwide demonstrations and blockades yesterday. See photos from the rallies:

I'm trying to get into Riftbound more seriously, as I find MtG more egregious with their biz model, but I'm not a fan of players who try to make money aggressively. It's like MtG Finance but with superspeed due to limited supplies.

More evidence that uncontrolled AI will ruin everything, ultimately. I doubt tech giants can control it thehackernews.com/2026/10/wiki...

I thought I played a lot more than 37h of Control Resonant, given how much fun I'm having. But I have kids, a life, and other games :)

Nothing shows how selfish and uncivil Americans are than car traffic. Special shoutout to the old Indian lady in a Californian white Tesla who indicates her turns when she's 50% through them.

Watching a (recorded) DJ Livestream that was done in freezing temperature and unsurprisingly this happened (but they were prepared): youtu.be/TbloZ8rmux4?...

I love that Control Resonant gives me Descent (the 1195 Parallax Software space shooting game) vibes. Guild Wars 2 also gives this with the amazing mounts. Enjoying being lost in a very complex map is a very lovely feeling.

Meta is using its A.I. data centers to exploit a lucrative tax break intended to support research and experimentation, according to an exclusive report by The New York Times. The company’s own accountants recognize that the strategy is on shaky legal ground. nyti.ms/3VlavDw

An EV "fee" (I already pay higher car tabs!) is one way to ensure that Fossil Fuel will keep earning $$$ for a while in this economy www.usatoday.com/story/cars/n...

Is the air too clean? Are you spending too little on gas? Boy, do I have a solution for you! bsky.app/profile/lega...

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”
