At dinner with my mom, brother and 7-year-old nephew. Nephew says "my cousin's school looks like a jail." I almost tried to make a Focault joke there. If I had, my family would have been honor-bound to set me adrift on an ice floe.

The dilemma of Tuvix is not "how do you save Tuvok and Neelix without killing Tuvix." It is "how do I kill Tuvix without saving Neelix."

Saw someone wearing a hoodie with this on the back, which is bad enough. But the front said "Gen X, est. 1981" and it was hard for me not to break the news to him that he's a millennial.

I’m madder at the DNC and the Harris campaign for bungling the campaign than I am at people who didn’t vote FOR THE SAME REASON THAT I’m madder at the government for an insufficient public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic than I am at individuals for going to restaurants and not masking.

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

As a forever GM, this tracks with how I feel about the subject. But it hasn't been until the last ~10 years that I've felt games which parts of that burden were best to shift onto players.

"we do need to defund the police, but we need to call it something else" - is that exchange on offer from any politician? think it out, really. "you need to call it something else." if we call it something else, are you still going to reduce the police budget? "ohhhhhh fuck no. they'd kill me"

Tapping the sign. Part of the reason for the GenAI explosion is the pump-and-dump nature of tech finance, part of it is big companies who don’t want to be left behind if it turns out to be as big as the hype. But part of it is that too many people consume huge amounts of slop content anyway.

i would also point out that railroads have their own police forces (not security guards, actual sworn police officers with badges and guns who can kill people and shit) and if they actually thought it was worth it to stop freight theft, they could do so

i feel like this problem could be avoided if the railroads didn't have a business model that required 200-car, 2.5-mile-long trains full of imported TVs and washing machines to idle in unsecured sidings for hours on end while waiting for other traffic to clear

Gary Cohen wasn't sold on how the Cubs and Matt Shaw handled his absence to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial. "I don't want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the thought of leaving your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency, really strikes me as weird."

I saw GWAR with friends last weekend and when they started by decapitating Elon Musk and killing Trump we joked about whether we thought conservatives would try to cancel GWAR and how long we thought it would take them to find the performance. Turns out the answer was "yes, and three days."

One oddity surrounding the claim that these logs are fabricated by the state that I haven’t seen discussed is that Ken Klippenstein had access to Robinson’s chat logs in a discord server where he ALSO admitted to doing it there. Is Ken also a fed? Is the discord account hacked by feds??

Charlie Kirk was able to blame "Jewish dollars" for funding "cultural Marxist ideas" and still be celebrated as a hero by the Israeli right because they largely agree with the critique of the rootless diaspora Jew.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means

You might ask when you see a detail like this, "why is there a key inside the skull?" The two genres of dungeon games are the ones that answer with "shut up," and the ones that answer with the most insane series of events imaginable, which the players are almost never going to learn. Both are fine

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
