someone finally did it. a game about rote bureaucracy and policing that is much more dystopian than papers please

a wholesome plane has hit the second cozy tower more like no thoughts to declare

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

standing on the turnbuckle with my hand cupped around my ear as the crowd screams "IS! THAT! GOOD???"

Republican business leaders love Trump’s anti-regulatory message because they often profit from lying to their customers. They want to protect *their* right to do whatever they want with total impunity, while denying the rest of us the right to know what we’re paying for and putting in our mouths.

Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests Gaming Copilot, rolling out now to Windows 11, adds a new attack surface to Windows.

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

"On the coast of Martinaise, in a small weather-beaten church built 380 years ago by settlers from the Occident, perhaps to guard against an anomaly at its centre, an officer of the RCM is contorting his rotting body as he invents the future of dance music... it's the hardest anyone has ever danced"

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

VIDEO: FBI Agents Visit Anti-ICE Protester “Your name was brought up.”

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

432 Park Is Cracking Up Developers wanted the supertall’s cement façade to be a pristine white. Turns out that’s not great for durability.

Reading about this luxury apartment building that's falling apart after only ten years because the developer wanted a pure white building, a color only achieved by weakening the concrete. LOL what a fucking living metaphor.

If you're going to put ads on your already not-cheap device, at least have the decency to leave a backdoor that enables jailbreaking through the ads like Amazon did, good job!

Glad to finally be able to jailbreak my kindle, if you have an unmodded kindle mod it right now before they patch it again!

YouTube video by JohntheDuncan The Greatest Piece of Communist Art: Chicken Run

In case you somehow haven't seen it

Thumbnail for chicken run is communist featuring the BFI logo and text reading "now part of British film history"

Big announcement!!! My video on how Chicken Run is communist is now part of Britain's media history

Over the summer the British Film Institute (BFI) got in touch cause they wanted to archive this video as a historically significant piece of media (lol) and it's now been archived

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

A little pink ball with silly shoes, jester hat, and bowtie. Text reads "Marx is here!!"

We've had some excellent conversations recently (in interviews and at the album listening event) about the themes of the album's tracks, and we wanted to share these directly with you as well. We'll share context for one track each day, and make a thread:
