video games can do or contain anything but we are still limited by technology, which allows player characters to move at only three speeds: glacial lurch, gay little saunter, and naruto run

PS—I hate genAI as much as I hate people’s weak-ass excuses for not covering their germ holes. I see them as a symptom of the same selfish rot and will refer to them as such. If that’s a problem for you, bye! I hope you stick around; I like calling AI bros stale croutons. We have fun.

I have a friend who, in announcing their new job, immediately joked that it felt like they were “working for the enemy.”

And after much reflection on the matter, I realize this is because they are fully aware & want to be proactively forgiven for choosing money over consequences

Horrific.

If Israeli Government ministers like #BenGvir are prepared to participate in the torture of high profile, well-respected international figures like #GretaThunberg, just imagine the horrors Israel inflicts upon the #Palestinian people.

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules

After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

I think two things are true:

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

What I would say to you, Simeon, is that the health system should NEVER be underfunded or under resourced in the first place, that is all on YOU.

The only people to cross an ethical threshold are you and your colleagues.

it is ALWAYS worth pointing out who gets to be just a helpless little innocent precious baby boy at the age of 34, vs. who is framed by the cops as a big scary dangerous man whose candy bar might be a gun when he's barely in middle school, or described as a "13-year-old woman" by her predator
