Super late to the party but I'm really impressed with Quantic Dream's Detroit : Become Human.

The game plays in a world where Androids are fully realized and human-like. They're also exploited as consumer objects. Many moral questions ensue! At its best an absolute experience.

Wish this was much more reflected in media reporting.
@phillipspobrien.bsky.social does a great job working out the dynamics that were pretty much always on display, even before Trump's return to the White House.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

Asking for regime change after having just received a Nobel peace price is quite a statement. I wonder if the Nobel committee has already developed buyer's remorse.
Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

Got me Sony's new noise canceling flagship, the WH-1000XM6 headphones, and I'm so happy about them.

I can't even hear my own high pitched typing sounds which are notoriously hard to cancel out. It's just a boon for an inner city flat. Sound is great as well. Very much recommended!

The latest update to the most popular ANC headphones is here, but are they any good? Find out in our Sony WH-1000XM6 review.

Gave my Slack bot the ability to pin emojis to other messages.
It also can search on the web and a myriad of other tiny things all while having a somewhat opinionated oldskool coder personality. It's fun!

I'm still betting on an emergent trajectory. Each feature adds to the whole more than itself.

I always thought it's bad taste and unprofessional to commit swear words or whine about a system in commentary.

After today's system I had to emulate I think differently. Omitting the proper amount of cursing on this brain-breaking dump would amount to withholding any future reader relief.
