Rational people can debate whether or not invading Afghanistan was a good call or not. (Really!)
What can’t be debated is that what Trump is doing will destroy FUTURE military attempts to hire locals to help them. Working for the US is now likely to be an inescapable death warrant.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Another regret about being laid off by Netflix is that employees get to preview upcoming content, which is to say I could probably be watching Wake Up Dead Man by now.

I am so sick of folks being like "we made this wonderful game and only sold 17 copies. Yes we only started marketing one month before release but-"
No buts. You failed the most basic problem in our era: Discoverability. You built no sales funnel, so you captured no sales. There's no mystery here.

If you're an indie game dev and you want to make a profit, marketing and analysis should be an integral part of your process as early as possible. If you're working in a team, you should be as serious about finding a marketer as you are about a programmer.

Well, that should help our flailing tourism industry.
The National Park Service says it is going to start charging international tourists an extra $100 to enter popular parks. They will be left out of fee-free days, reserved for American residents. n.pr/48CbbII

This is a good hot take.
When most people say 'my hot take' they end up saying something agreeable and noncontroversial. Coach here went for the classic meaning by saying something out of step with other opinions and also absurdly incorrect.

My hot take is they built a whole movie around one cool special effect and I think the movie stinks
Just showed the children Inception and as I warned them, it broke their brains

i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it
