WoW also has one of the funniest arcs of an attempt to be non-player hostile, in that the devs are stuck in an eternal war with the top racers to try and make it so grinding yourself to death for gear in the Race to World's First is not the optimal strategy.

"that's from The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull!" shouted Pippen. "Yes, it is very middle Earth" mused Gandalf.

‘drums…drums in the deep…’ gandalf mused with a soft drag on his pipe. just then, as if he’d summoned it, we all heard the sound. no…could it be? surely the goblins weren’t blasting the 2003 cut of Dopesmoker

Super excited to take the teleporting Blue Line

This is the last time I trust Science that's for sure

This is Apple going "Hey buddy let's settle this privately to avoid any hints of a scandal" and they just got ignored.

America is #1 in self-flagellation on a sport they forget exists for 3 out of 4 years.

these are good, get the strawberry ones

nobody told me moongeese looked like tweakers

"many rape accusations are fabricated" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person fabricates 0 rape accusations per year. Freddie deBoer, who lives in a cave & once fabricated a rape accusation ex nihilo because he got mad about posting, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Nobody liked it when I told them that their perfect dodges were, in fact, parries.

I can tell you who has been giving him advice

Okay so I went ahead and fed the doc she was talking about into a basic loop and wow, Claude got real bitchy about it

Kind of interesting how they're pitching this, it's that they have two new models that are about as good as the existing model but cheaper and then one really strong new one. Starting to be more business specific instead of capability focused.

They're worried he lowballed the bribe and will drive down the expected amount they're getting in 2028.

DUNC DUNC DUNC

These are his emotional support strikes. Between the World Cup loss and 250th going poorly he needed something to cheer him up and whelp.

To follow on to what I was talking about yesterday this is only going to get worse. These are just the absolute laziest of cheaters who couldn't even be bothered to get an AI to write them supporting documentation or plan out a meeting. The slightly more motivated type will bluff their way through.

The basic issue is that the Id Party does not decide its stances based on rational self assessment. They bandwagon towards whatever feels big and masculine and dominant and hold on like a pit bull to a rope. If you don't crush these ideas early they become their common policy!

For context here I'm currently writing a little bespoke tabletop wargame that's Redwall meets Final Fantasy Tactics and Claude is incredibly useful to turn my notes into broad engine rules and guardrails and to get me an idea of when I'm overdesigning. Not useful for creating the core engine though.

Reading a piece from a place I like with a strict "no AI submission" rule and it instantly tripped my mental flags. Throw it in Pangram, comes back AI Written 100% High Confidence. Wondering here if we're going to move towards don't ask/don't tell or having to get editors trained/subscriptions.

I go to do work for two bloody minutes and Argentina ties it up?!

Still really don't like how every two years we have a Flight 93 Election!

I do think we can hold the line at "no rapist senators" even if we've blown past "no nazi tats..." right?

Not quite sure what to do with a bully stick

Sugar is enjoyable but its two gimmicks it's leaning on are just kind of unneeded. We didn't need to be told Sugar is a tormented Saint time and again and the film cuts are a Bit Much

It hort out

Done!

FIFA understands they're selling a show, the fact that there's a tournament as part is secondary. Probably also why they get along so well with Trump

"This would lead him to leftism" oh lordy the right can find all sorts of ways to put the true Volk, in which power resides in the local Car Dealership Owner, against the Rootless Cosmopolitan Class and their Billionaire Puppet Masters.

Two issues I think You can't really be a mediocre cape film anymore, and a mediocre female led cape film gets judged twice over. The pitch of "bar crawl and her dog gets hurt" is pretty terrible for getting families out to the theater!

The Emperor had ordered his armies winter on the other side of the river

Wow Enola Holmes 3 may be the worst thing I've seen in years. They can't even get the characters to feel like they're in the same film

Listen the accuracy of the people taking shots at Trump reasonably matches that of a colonial era firearms so I can't say we haven't lived up to their expectations

MISHIMA?!

Too hot to touch grass, touching paint instead

Ah yeah that's the good stuff

Never should have let the simulation theorists interact with something you actually can put in a simulation.

"Most Evil" is just marketing, stop falling for it! Big Minion is trying to use it to corner the market. Those bastards take bids like the rest of us.
