I saw three different publishers tell the team "the average player is 35" and the team simply rejected that data because it didn't fit their narrative of "games are played by teenagers."

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

The Obama Presidential Center in B&W

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

A bleak report but matched by admin encounters I've had recently too. It's always situation-specific, but for many of us I fear it may be time to pull back from dealing w these ppl, our enemies, head-on, & marshal existing resources to protect what little space we still have that's not yet captured+

I think fake money systems like this should be explicitly illegal. They are implemented for this exact reason. It’s to pressure you to spend it all, but in order to spend it all you need to buy more, what’s the leftover will also eventually expire, so you will buy more to spend it. Cycle forever.

for those of you not in the know, clip studio assets can be purchased by two forms of fake money--one of which can be purchased by real money but only in certain increments, and the other of which cannot be purchased with real money (for some reason). apparently both of them expire after a time

One extremely interesting part of Lancer deep lore is that the Catholic Church still exists, and the implications of this are utterly fascinating

A visibly emotional Anne Hathaway responding to a trans kid--who named herself Ella after Ella Enchanted, and thanked Hathaway for her courage as an ally--saying "Ella, sweetie, I want to make something absolutely clear: It takes zero courage to love you"......now I might cry too

the GWOT also exists in the Bluey universe, implying the existence of both Osama bin Doggin and Saddog Hussein.

Last month, the City Council passed two bills related to the right to protest. Today, I am letting one go into effect, and vetoing the other. I’d like to take a moment to explain why. As Mayor, I will always make sure the right to protest, prayer and protection are guaranteed for every New Yorker.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

If you're not hip to modern naval warfare, it may not be obvious how insanely stupid this really is. Nobody builds battleships anymore! That battle doctrine is extinct. We currently have none and the last were removed from all service in 2006. He's just completely stupid and out of touch.

The addled president fired the secretary of the Navy for failing to deliver an impossible supership he made up in three years

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

I spent 6 months working for a Swiss NGO researching the tactics used by Big Oil and how similar they are to Big Tobacco’s tactics, and I can tell you that the ones used by ‘Big AI’ are virtually identical.

I'm into it.

Dark Lady

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Guess what? It's my birthday today! 🥳🎂🎉🎈

Doing a basic calculation using a chatbot instead of a calculator uses between 2.5 million and 62 million times more energy. And using chatbots for calculations is *extremely common* - the companies have marketed these systems as general purpose, everything-apps!

Tucker is one of the few far-right figures who is reasonably good at personal risk assessment. He knows damn well that there will be consequences to the war crimes Trump has committed and plans to commit in Iran. And he doesn't want to wind up like Julius Streicher some day.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

Sometimes readers are skeptical when I tell them that retailers would rather pay for self-checkout kiosks and product lockup systems and all manner of other questionable in-store tech rather than staffing because of an ideological preference for capital spending over labor spending and, well,,,

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Get ready, New York. Cardi B will be judging YOUR jingles to help spread the word about universal childcare for 2 year olds — aka 2-K. Submit your song by April 17. Full guidelines at nyc.gov/jingle. (Tag #NYC2KJingle and @nycmayor if you post your jingle on social media.)

this is a brilliant idea honestly

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

Pushing monsters from high places in Draw Steel just never gets old. Ever!

A couple of handfuls of the world's richest people are literally orchestrating the collapse of the democratic public sphere, globally, and everyone else is just letting them.
