Affordable cities make car use optional for daily life. 🚴🏿‍♂️🚌🚶🏼‍♀️

Sam is mad at me because I told him that posting that Mamdani was an animal responsible for 9/11 was disgustingly racist and now he is making it crystal clear how he feels, I think

People are very angry about this for some reason. The game isn't for me but I learned to disregard Metacritic averages a long time ago. Seek out who you trust to get an idea of what to expect and then form your own opinion. ROMEO IS A DEADMAN is my game of the year and got a 72 on Metacritic.

it would've been so easy (if bari was smart) to basically run CBS news as a sleeper cell — keep things superficially similar to the old regime and only start dialing in the propaganda in the runup to the election. Instead she immediately signalled to viewers that she was gonna destroy CBS

My newsletter today is about @katmabu.bsky.social's campaign. Democrats keep asking how to reach voters who've given up on the party. Kat Abughazaleh spent a year trying to answer that question. She lost, but the answer is still right. www.readtpa.com/p/what-if-we...

ST just needs to get additional funding via a new vote to the voters, im ngl.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

if woke 2 is anything it is the complete excision and removal of performative culture as the vestigial appendage

Marathon is the great unifier (of people with good taste)

did they actually name the characters in metaphor after f1 drivers

Interesting detail with tonight’s results in Illinois is that progressive messaging is appealing to a wide percentage of voters but it’s splitting the vote Ranked choice voting allowed Mamdani to build a coalition that boxed out Cuomo The standardization of RCV for Dem primaries should be the goal

i love marathon

AIPAC is straight up evil, tbh

eh, horizon worlds never had any legs to begin with

I’m pretty sure the reason that the Marathon community seems normal and fun so far is that it is an unc game. It’s a millennial game. It’s coworker game (complimentary) because the people who play it have jobs.

Stopping the wars? Yeah that’s socialism. Prosecuting trump? Yeah thats also socialism. Destroying ICE? You guess it, socialism.

Antizionist Jew here to say explicitly: they're gonna kill Jews over this. American Jews who have no ties to Israel. And some of that blood will be on the hands of Jewish zionists who allowed themselves to be used as shields by Christian Nationalist Zionists.

There is a misconception that post-training changes this fact, that the pre-trained model is maybe stochastic parrotey and the RLHFed model is different but I don’t think this is right. RLHF just tilts the model towards some kinds of responses and away from others but it’s still doing the same thing

Legit fucked up how good Marathon is.

can’t believe marathon made me finally get back into pc gaming. fuck you

good thing that everyone just kept repeating drumf ass memes about how it’s the three finger machine and can’t count the r’s in strawberry for years

one of the top companies that comes into my head of "startup that refuses to hire/recruit for juniors at all costs" is bsky dot app dot com

the moment DLSS stops being about pixel counts and becomes about injecting lighting and other artistic details that were not intended to begin with is the moment i'm out dude. felt like it was only a matter of time given NVIDIA but it feels truly dire as someone who has otherwise enjoyed DLSS.

Hearing reports that DLSS 6 is going to make every character in every game look like a naked 14-year-old girl but don't worry, it's actually turning them all into ageless demons who have existed forever but _choose_ to look like naked 14-year-old girls.

wowwwww. DLSS 5 looks amazing….

Where to begin with this

in 2004 bungie designed twelve perfect guns and we've been using them ever since

OBAA isn't about leftist revolution much like Boogie Nights isn't about porn and The Master isn't about scientology and There Will Be Blood isn't about oil. these are milieus in which to tell a story about human beings.

Guessing what the vibe is and who will win is a fun game to play but it’s more an indication of what the industry feels about itself than an appraisal of quality

Marty Supreme not winning is the most Marty Supreme thing that could've happened.

Starting to think some people don’t actually like movies.

IMO: This also applies for games. Shut down a multiplayer game I paid for? Fine, but the server code must be open sourced

I'm sure someone smarter has already proposed this, but we need a supercharged Right to Repair 2.0. If companies won't support products, they must release the software to open source. If they don't sell replacement parts, they must facilitate 3rd party efforts (share technical plans).

the message of One Battle After Another is that the government is bad. if you dislike it, that’s because you subconsciously think that the government is good.

MARATHON

important

bill clinton is canonically important in the canon of the Marathon universe btw

whatever firefly announcement is about to happen: you don’t want it

So I have been using Claude Code pretty extensively for work and side projects for the last few months, and I’m pretty certain this tool won’t go away but equally certain the damage it will do to the tech industry is going to reach its maximum pretty soon.

trump is afraid to attack oil infrastructure. they aren't. that's fucking mindboggling. he's in a fucking box
