private equity buys a company and immediately starts torturing their employees and the money

hell yeah

Important update: Houdini has a bow tie

i have secretly been cultivating deep structural knowledge of how video games work in my friends so that we can make the nerdiest fuckin feet jokes of all time

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble. A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments. We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Maybe Providence should stop sponsoring sports teams, stop turning away trans patients, and make less profit instead of letting go of their staff.

“Rich people are smart” actually they are VERY stupid

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

"His decisive vote in 2010’s Citizens United v. FEC lifted restrictions on political spending, while ludicrously insisting it would not 'lead to, or create the appearance of, quid pro quo corruption.' Political spending by billionaires has since increased 160-fold."

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts

saw a 20 min youtube doc listed as "no ai" and ngl that got me to click on it as much as the content

Thread. “AI is patching up the holes in conspiracy theories and so making them seem more reasonable, making them easier to spread and more resilient to collapse” was not on my bingo card. AI relieves the pressure of cognitive dissonance. That’s … not great.

My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

Billionaires handing money back and forth, no one creating anything except carbon in the air. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips; Nvidia gives Anthropic billions to buy even more chips; Microsoft gives Anthropic billions, which Anthropic spends on Microsoft Azure, run by Nvidia, etc. An ouroboros of shit.

Running an un-notarized binary from itch.io: no. bad. stop Letting an idiot slop machine drive your browser and expose it to basically any malicious actor on the internet: yes. do it. core system feature. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

Ah, the thinking man’s Sour Cream & Onion.

Renewables and electrification are the way of the future and an incredible investment in lower costs, good jobs that can't be outsourced, and better health outcomes related to lower pollution. The only material prosperity linked to continued fossil fuel use is Mohammed bin Salman's.

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

"Everybody in ICE goes to The Hague" is going to be the moderate view by 2028

its actually insane how bad the joke is. like it boggles the mind to find the mental gymnastics routine required to square this with reality

bill maher with one of the craziest flop jokes i've ever seen in my life

today i learned there's a load-bearing runtime string pool in our game that does strcmp against every other string in the pool on insertion it also uses up fully 40% more static memory than what you ask for in terms of pool size for "bookkeeping costs"

we gave it a glock and the boa is now holding the staff at the facility hostage. it is impossible to understand its demands because nobody knows how to understand what it is saying. i'm glad we decided against the extended magazine for this test.

RFK Jr.: ‘The President Having Sex With Children Is Fine From A Purely Nutritional Standpoint’

linkedin is just post after post of my talented & experienced colleagues being laid off, and interesting projects desperate for funding. meanwhile more AI-hype layoffs are in the pipeline & no investment in new audiences. i've had in 10+ years in the industry and this feels like the bleakest time

work training "Malvertizing: When Ads Go Bad" sorry, remind me of all of the times when ads were good again? having trouble remembering...

Calling all indie game developers working on a better future for the planet! Would you like to be part of an easy and fun session with the EU project STRATEGIES where we talk about what it means to make a game, challenges with funding, and more? #indiedev #gamesdev #indiegames (key art: Synergy)

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

C-Suite using ChatGPT to ask how can they alienate their workers from their labour becoming admissible evidence in court is literally the top tier acceptable use case of this tech

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now

I think one reason why games people are looking forward to the collapse of the AI bubble, despite it likely triggering a massive economic crash, is that we're basically already living post-crash.

“One of the attorneys said part of the operational plan involves undercover ICE and FBI agents attending and documenting church security plans.”

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

true of most folks, tbh

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

i finished Act 1 of Ambrosia Sky. really hits the immersive sim read-emails-and-crawl-through-pipes notes. unfortunately the main character suffers from Yapping Syndrome where, by attempting to highlight the contents of an email with dialogue, they undercut them.
