Professional gamedev cat-herder. Formerly at Disney, Treyarch. Usually I'm the producer, or the PM, or the ops guy. I make sure games get made and my devs get paid.

I have a question.

Are we sure these folks are really going from daycare to daycare? Or are certain people going to specific daycares?

Because there's a scenario where a nutjob fighting a custody battle is just using this bullshit as a pretext to try and kidnap their kids
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”

SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”

CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”

SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔

He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

Now more than ever I'm in awe that I apparently built my PC just before shit went south.

I saw it coming, but I didn't know it'd be this bad.

On this last day of 2025, I wanted to take some time to reflect on how I spent it.

If I'm honest: not particularly well! I spent most of it in a funk because I got hit with a bunch of stuff at once, and I didn't get back up.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Bring back the idea that there's stuff it's rude to ask people about and none of your business (why are you masking, why aren't you drinking, etc.)
Also, never ask someone why they're wearing a mask! Just don't! You're not entitled to people's health info!

I know it's not the important part here, but is the podcast called "Lettuce Talk?"
Liz Truss, who served 44 days as UK prime minister, goes full Curtis Yarvin.

Interviewing Yarvin on her new podcast, she calls for overhauling UK government to fit his vision.

“I agree with you, having spent 10 years in the system, you need to start from scratch,” Truss tells Yarvin.

By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.
