no, this is deeply stupid sub-Coast to Coast AM level conspiracy mongering from somebody who claims to believe that the ballroom is a secret plot to install a giant AI server that will run the entire united states government, like in metal gear solid 2.

Another video game innovation: Rainbow Six: Siege is way, way worse for this given the destructible environment + intel tools. Prepare to get shot through 3+ walls from across the map by someone prefiring common defensive positions (or offensive approaches)

Wasn’t this called out in Snow Crash? I assume mandatory weekly polygraphs are next.

When AOC plays League of Legends, does she play on an AOC monitor?

CourtListener is now available inside Claude as a new MCP Connector. Here's what that means and why it matters. 👇 free.law/2026/05/12/c...

I think our site-wide immune system did a good job rejecting the Mass Effect is Fascist take and we should be proud of ourselves.

The latest dev diary for MENACE covers new content that will be shipping in Patch 10. Tanks are making a comeback, sentry turrets are getting a remodel, and light vehicle weapons are getting more slot options. https://steamcommunity.com/games/2432860/announcements/detail/685252675610083970

Since I’m contractually obligated to play the Evangelion FFXIV alliance raid when it comes out, I’ve finally committed to FFXIV. Played from start through Heavensward twice before; so far Stormblood’s story seems a major downgrade from Heavensward. Lack of new music in MSQ scenes hurting too.

It’s worse than that! mrshu.github.io/github-statu... GitHub recently posted how they are gaming their uptime numbers a few weeks ago: github.blog/news-insight... “Partial outage” reduces the downtime calc by 70%. Personally, been impacted for the full duration of every partial so far so….

Another business day, another GitHub incident. Cool cool cool.

They can vote for any Democrat they want

lol had to go to a comedy show for work and the first act was the most awful awkward racist/sexist shit I’ve seen from a comedian in a decade, super cool to sit next to the ceo and behind two women and try to figure out where I need to laugh to keep my job (the ceo is a right wing woman ~zoomer)

Got to watch my boss get into a short tiff with our CEO during a meeting over….Nick fuckin Shirley. CEO called him an “investigative journalist” and was talking about all the child care fraud he found.

Once again asking people who say this to a) look at the A-10’s record in the last conflict against an enemy with credible air defense (1st Gulf War) and b) understand the Air Force is trying to force plan for peer adversaries, not GWOT’s bastard cousin. That said, sure, let the Army take them.

I will not tolerate the AI sloppification of a true GWOT hero. Not today, not ever.

The first major update for MENACE's Early Access period is underway, & Construct loot is getting reworked. This dev diary covers the updated system, plus new loot items, blueprints, & workshop projects using Construct tech. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2432860/view/540007148061458541

Holy shit, Noem out and replaced by Markwayne Mullin www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

What do the herenvolk think? Well, at this Texas suburban steakhouse, they think that Hillary Clinton is actually already dead and that’s a body double. Hand on heart just overheard this. On the plus side the bail bondsman sitting next to them pushed back.

Never really loved the “Kuwait is not a real deployment” jokes but I think we can finally put those to be as classless and untrue.

It’s cruel too of course and comedy can be cruel!, whatever, but it also relies on the false premise that someone with Tourette’s HAS control over what they say so the joke just isn’t insightful or original or good

Is CBS the only one running the Iranian claim they hit the Abraham Lincoln with 4 ballistic missiles? Iran claims to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in Persian Gulf www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

This so stupid but also if it frees up additional token quotas for our state customers….

I think my favorite side effect so far of this crash is how it’s gonna fuck over certain businesses that started taking crypto last year when BTC was almost $90k (like GrabAGun, the Don Jr gun store that went public)

I am no longer open to these types of candidates

For someone who swears they aren’t a duck, they’re spending an awful lot of time quacking and waddling.

It's also murder

When did “filibuster” become replacement slang for “chud”? Is it a new Canadian thing? Hadn’t encountered it before and have now seen multiple people using it today.

Underrated cat mood: when they’re like “where we goin?” And follow you from room to room

Given the Cuban thing, just remembered Senator Warner’s vague letter expressing extreme concern about the CIA, apparently referencing a surge of people focusing on Cuba. Initially thought some kind of drug running thing but it could be something Much Stupider.

On the SOTU response... am I crazy, or did they misalign the teleprompter and the camera? Spanberger is obviously looking way below the camera.

Underrated is the throw away "his co-pilot was injured too, but not as bad" before giving the MoH to that CW5.

waiting for your groupchat's swing to fully miss and then dropping this within hours of a scheduled oxygen-suck (SOTU) is pretty transparent

Don't really care for using the MoH as a partisan prop ngl

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/u... "Multiple U.S. officials said that for now, the plans for a commando raid had been shelved." @mikeblack114.bsky.social vindicated again

Yeah, he’s religious. You can also look up his voting record and the bills he’s introduced and see that he’s an incredibly strong proponent of the separation of church and state, with a focus on education.

Man it would be crazy if my main choices for git as a service weren’t between “oops we deleted prod” and “you can merge between the hours of 2:59am and 3:05am, because that’s the only time we aren’t breaking in some form or fashion”

Another day that ends in y, another GitHub incident. I don’t know what’s going on over there but they clearly need to get their shit together.

This is insane.

Somewhere along the line **someone** has to do the uncomfortable work of understanding what the hell is going on with the code and project (and keeping that understanding current in the face of ongoing changes to the project) Vibe coding is trading that understanding for short-term gains

How on earth does the global media editor of the Financial Times only have ~200 followers here?! Dawg, post a little more!

Will Lewis has just told staff at the Washington Post he is stepping down

Spitballing here, but maybe “Republicans abolished the police“ could be the attack angle. The goons in Call of Duty costumes are not policing. They are armying. Bring back Barney Fife. The actual military has to dress more like police to avoid getting confused with the fake military now.
