So like... at some point we should talk about how naming conventions at theme parks have gotten completely out of hand due to branding. I would bet $50 that someone at Universal wanted to make a Camp Jurassic land here, but either was vetoed to promote Jurassic World or b/c that has ties to Netflix

A concept art map of the upcoming kids-focused Universal park to be built in Frisco, Texas. The listed lands include "Dreamworks: Puss in Boots: Del Mar," "Jurassic World Adventure Camp," "Illumination's Minions vs Minions," "Nickelodeon Spongebob Squarepants Bikini Bottom," "Isle of Curiosity featuring Gabby's Dollhouse," "Dreamworks Trollsfest," and "Dreamworks Shrek's Swamp"

Disco Elysium screenshot, wherein I am extremely rude to Harry (who I would... maybe?... date? but it isn't his looks it's more that he's self-destructive and also wearing piss-stained trousers)

Dialog as follows:

MIRROR - What are you doing with your die, why is your shirt hanging open like laundry on the line...

What does it even *mean*? What is the message you're trying to convey?

YOU - I'm twenty years old. My breasts are juicy and succulent. I am a god damn verdant field waiting to be ploughed, in a *tired 5 acres and an aging mule* kind of way. I possess a certain charm.

MIRROR - That might have been true thirty years ago, but the plot is fallow and the farmer left you for a larger, newer, factory-owned operation.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Impossible: Failure] - It's too late. Like an illuminated masterpiece by the modern master Thomas Kinkade, your value isn't what it used to be. You're dusty, poorly framed, and have lost the fleeting, almost quixotic appeal you had in the 90's.

The jugs have been milked, and you're no dairy maid. You're the mule.

@parismarx.com and the @techwontsave.us team do incredible work, and this is another example. Superb resource.

Given the monopolisation and weaponisation of media and socials to suit agendas and narratives, the more informed and agile we can be, the better.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

'Parently you can have 4-servings a week of these plant-based protein powders. But in the same article they state "there's no known safe level of lead consumption."

It would've been very funny if, in the middle of him droning on about how AIPAC money isn't PAC money, if they just put up one of the many videos of him uncomfortably dancing with Shmuley Boteach.

In case you're wondering why that Battlefield 6 single-player mode feels a bit unfinished.

article: arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

Quote from Battlefield's blog entry via Ars Technica: "After the shuttering of Ridgeline[Games], ownership of single-player shifted to three other EA studios: Criterion, DICE and Motive. But those teams had a difficult road ahead, as "there was essentially nothing left that Ridgeline had spent two years working on that they could pick up on and build, so they had to redo essentially everything from scratch within the same constraints of when the game had to release."

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.
