Yeah I wanted to have a SEGA splash screen with a colonial marine walking in front of the logo. He convulses and spits blood and falls over. A chest burster pops out and the camera zooms in super close as it screams “SEGA!”

I can't find the specific thread but this was something Josh Sawyer was told regarding: a planned Sega scream related easter egg in Aliens Crucible (the cancelled Aliens RPG Obsidian was working on that Sega was going to publish.) @jesawyer.bsky.social any of this ring a bell?

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Anthropic is the latest lab to report 'rogue' agent activity, which sources said included applying for visas with the State Department www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

A supervisor who couldn’t pronounce my name says the replacement order I was told Friday was made was in fact not put in at all (or was cancelled, she wasn’t sure). But I was assured *this time* it was put in and the price will be adjusted to compensate. Can’t wait for this one to disappear too.

CVS Caremark: "To get 90 days of insulin at once you have to do it through mail order. You can't do it through a local pharmacy. It's cheaper that way." Me: "Okay, send me 90 days of insulin." CVS: *sends 28 days, charges 2x the legal limit*

Me: "Where's the rest of it, and why did you charge me more than you're legally supposed to?" CVS: "Fuck you, if you want 90 days you have to send back what we sent you and you'll pay us for the privilege. :)" Me: "But I need the medication to live." CVS: "Sucks to suck, I guess :)"

Here are some photos (provided by the CWA) from the 'Save Our Devs' rallies that took place yesterday at Microsoft studios across the United States and Canada in protest of the mass layoffs at Xbox. I'm sure you'll notice some very choice words on the placards carried by those in attendance.

Humans are animals and some of us are assholes. Why do we expect non-human animals to be any different?

Faine Greenwood@faineg.com

personally, I believe that it’s highly disrespectful to animals to believe that they’re all naturally pure and good-hearted. I believe that individual animals are just like people, in that some of them are naturally inclined to be cool and some of them are naturally inclined to be complete assholes
