Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

I don't think anyone has a plan for "what if 40% of the country is Like That forever" in part because there really isn't a good one

It's not that I think they have a super-secret plan to overturn the elections and seize power, but you're watching an entire political party, from top to bottom, meme itself into convincing itself that its opponents are inherently illegitimate, and that road doesn't go anywhere good.

A statement from WIRED leadership.

I hate when headlines draw conclusions that the white paper doesn't really imply at all, kitschy bs fake science for idiots This doesn't mean "we can't have babies in space" it means "we need really good radiation shielding and centrifugal gravity to have babies in space" which is NBD

Odd decision making that FFXI and FFXIV are mainline numbered FFs, but Resonance isn't? Make it FFXVII you cowards

Why do no cases on the market currently offer this?? youtube.com/shorts/GEMzO...

My wife texted me to pick her up a half toasted sandwich and I was right about to ask the cashier if light toasting was a thing they offered when I finally realized she meant half size. But I'm real good with computers okay?

so let me get this straight, the president of the united states is selling premium access to posts he makes exclusively on the website that he owns so that people can use that to execute bets and trades before the general public so how many explicit blatant illegal acts of corruption is that, 3? 4?

I repeat. Roblox is the worst thing that's happened to the video game industry.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

The main reasons you dont know hardly any AAA craft-level game makers names is because the machines that make money from those people don’t want to give any visionaries on the team camera time in case they want to fire them to save money. And the smaller game makers hate doing press

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

As seen in the table & figure above, we dissect and explain how terminology is abused and contorted by industry — terms like 'generative' or 'agentic' are not able to isolate what is being critiqued. We have seen this countless times before; flitting from one nonsense buzzword to another. 2/n

Todd Blanche just testified under oath that Constitutional rights don’t apply to people who are undocumented living in rhe U.S. This is incorrect. Just wrong. The law is clear. Constitutional protections apply to “all persons” within the country’s borders.

England football team has to be the most English group of lads ever assembled Names are all like Baker and Townshire, they all look like stereotylical cartoon brits and one I swear is the son of Kevin McKidd the resemblance is uncanny

I hate how unreliable mobile UI and app design is and how when it fails there's just nothing you can do. A terminal may be ugly but when you type "ls" it does what you say every fucking time.

the reference -> the artwork

fun fact: shoddily constructing your own idea in blender with a hodgepodge of digital assets and random primitives is way more rewarding than whatever slop AI will come up with for you.

Trump on Hegseth: "All he wanted to talk about is war. 'Sir will you give a pardon to 19 soldiers?' Why? They killed a lot of people. They were trained to kill & that's what they did. I pardoned a lot. They've been well behaved, right? Good, otherwise it'll be a big story. But I'm blaming you, Pete"

A couple of years ago a family member sent me a link to an article about how much money Meta was spending on the Metaverse and said "surely that'll work with that much money ?". And here we are. A good read via @jamesrball.com & @prospectmagazine.co.uk

There are two kinds of games--well-made games and interesting games--and the public perception of Nintendo's games has gradually shifted from "interesting" to "well-made." - Miyamoto

Bungie accidentally shipped a skin with color in it so they had to hotfix it 🙃 It was a bug, but if you've seen any of my complaints about Marathon cosmetics you'll understand why this is so egregiously frustrating LET US HAVE FUN, BUNGIE! www.pcgamesn.com/marathon/rem...

"those being laid off were asked not to come into the office on Monday so late in the day that many had already begun their commute." Levels of incompetence which should cause ramifications but the bosses aren't about to punish themselves now are they? There has to be some mechanism for justice

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

In the seventh month of the second year of the second term, the heat will become unbearable, the skies will turn red, and bowels will loosen across the land.

As a result - the big budget mainstream is in bloated decaying stagnation And the MBA geniuses that got us here are now stripping the walls for the copper wires, since the number don’t go up fast enough
