The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

I am going to clip 3 rallies tonight -- Obama in Michigan, Trump in Georgia, and Bernie in Minnesota. If you appreciate my coverage on big political nights like tonight, please support what I do by signing up for my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy PN and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thx

This is really big news: not that the Trump administration is corrupt (but more evidence for this is now in), but also just how amateurish they are. Putin is pretty much reading their texts.

It appears tha Regis Galland is preparing to sell his SuperGrafx motherboard (replacement for use in with PC Engine). He;s ordering the parts, followed by the boards, and the product page is already prepared. www.polykubos.fr/en/video-gam...

I keep coming back to this one, it's got a melancholy vibe all its own. Shame both the animator and musician passed away before it became popular.

Last month we lost our jobs. This month we made new ones. Introducing X BUTTON: an independent gaming network from three ex-IGN employees. A new weekly Nintendo podcast! A new weekly video game podcast! And that’s just the start, but we can’t do it without your help! www.patreon.com/cw/XButtonShow

It’s depressing to see schools use AI to create flyers, banners, & t-shirts. When I was in high school the faculty would come to the art department to have students create these things. I learned so many skills that have followed me my entire professional life. That’s what I thought school was for.

... its April already?

FM Towns, chonky edition :D

It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

I naively imagined (as a Steam dev myself) that identical names were not allowed, but hey

used to have lots of fun playing this 2 player in a York arcade :D not a classic by any means, but good basic 80s action cheese

I have said it before, and I will say it again: the UK countryside is full of interdimensional portals. All you have to do is keep your eyes open and look carefully for them... tomcox.substack.com/p/20-of-the-...

So have Forbes, FT, fast company, Bloomberg, or the Wall Street journal started asking the pertinent question yet? (The pertinent question is, "if this is what character[.]ai's books looked like, what the fuck is going on inside anthropic and openAI?")

Today google turned on even more genAI features for businesses who pay for google suites, which means a lot more things to turn off. It automatically turned on reading all your email and docs for generative AI learning so that probably already happened. Turn it off in your admin panel here:

hmm - there are a lot of retro game ports coming out using Ai, aren't there... :/ Thing is, I`d be way more interested/impressed with a wonky game port done by people, than something near arcade perfect done with Ai

The most fun thing ever to randomly see

The United States is the world's largest exporter of diesel. There is no shortage of diesel in The US since Trump continues to allow its export. There is only the global price/market place. Trump buying Russian diesel does not increase supply and it will not make anything cheaper for anyone.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

having fun filling in gov pdf forms, for some reason similar entry boxes on each form is formatted differently - for things like address entry etc - WHYYYYYYY

You can see the genocide from space. Yet still it is widely denied.

some (well quite a few) PC Engine games have some pretty cool cover art

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president
