"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

Yeah, some of the live action shots feels German Expressionist to me!

I'm realizing what a blessing it is when you *don't* have to think about a social media platform you're using

"A tiny fraction" is "the opposite pole"? I'm literally suggesting the mildest rebalancing possible.

Please keep losing your shit at the slightest critique of your favorite environment-destroying tech, but your attempts at armchair psychoanalysis are weird and creepy. You can fuck off now.

Windosill is bundled with the lovely musical game ODDADA. Get 'em both on sale!

Windosill was one of the biggest inspirations for ODDADA, so we’re now very happy to present a bundle with both games in it!

Bill, if you can articulate why "human artists could benefits enormously from a tiny slice of the billions poured into tech that exploits their output" is "binary" please do so.

Because as is you're just rolling into my mentions with indecipherable BS, and insulting me to boot

If a tiny fraction of the resources deployed towards AI was invested instead in actual artists we'd be enjoying a renaissance rather than drowning in a sea of garbage

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

I hate even talking about these people but it's been clear for a while now that Ezra Klein is just a more palatable Matt Yglesias. I'm glad people are realizing that though!
