Techno thriller FPS where you play an elite black ops commando unraveling a sinister corporate conspiracy. The end twist is that there is no sinister conspiracy, it’s a normal corporation doing R & D, your CO is just insane and you murdered hundreds of security guards for no reason.

Does it strike anyone as weird that we have a ratings board that counts the number of times a movie says fuck or shows a boob and decides who is allowed to see it, and yet GenAI was dropped on the entire with no restrictions, no age verification, no checks, no regulation whatsoever?

Jesus Christ. JESUS Christ. Jesus CHRIST. Yes, this person is correct, remigration is a white supremacy term for ethnic cleansing, basically. And the Department of Homeland Security, WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST, just used the term. An official government account. That is...that is beyond fucked.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Hey so if you move to Chicago and you're shown an apartment like this? Don't take it. No matter how cheap it is. If you're lucky it won't flood (it probably will in the spring rains just FYI) but you will have vermin issues and there's a very good chance it doesn't meet fire code.

It really is something that Elon personally tanked the EV side of the business and his plan to turn things around is "robots" and investors haven't crushed each other trying to get out the door
Tesla's EU sales were down 48.5% in October, and are down 30% in a year-to-date when EV sales are up 26%.
Tesla's China sales fell 35.8% in October, for an 8.4% decline year-to-date.
Tesla's US sales fell 24% in October, after incentives expired.
IT'S HAPPENING!

I got into a little game where I’m in an alliance and have been for ages, I do stuff for my account a couple of times a day or more. I spend real money. But they take it super seriously and if you do the wrong thing it’s so big. Am so tired and so sad about being crap at fun stuff.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

The technology basically peaked. It's all incremental tinkering now. Like with digital cameras - the technical differences between the highest end products are only of interest to a tiny percentage of experts. Which might be part of the reason for "AI" being pushed in everything.
My phone is doing all the same things from 2015 with only minimal benefits. The only reason we have to upgrade is increased software bloat.
We should actually just have phones that last 15 years now.

Very serious but also do other British people see this and think the “lo” has dropped off the start?
this interview, and the subsequent reporting around it, was absolutely infuriating. any other sector's big business lobby wouldn't get this kind of uncritical, uninformed, wildly inaccurate coverage, yet disabled peoples' essential services do [little 🧵]

Trump, being in the process of sun downing, probably hates all the miserable people around him, because they're all evil, and he's losing grip with reality. Then a real human being comes around and is warm and friendly, and grandpa is just beside himself. He needs to be in a home.
