And that's it for Silksong! A phenomenal final boss for a phenomenal game, well-worth doing 100%. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Kd...

A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

Shameful

I may have used the phrases "intellectual cancer" and "death knell of the thousands-year project of human progress" in mine.

Is every university's AI "taskforce" in reality a naked boosterism committee like mine. Rarely felt so demoralized by the mismatch of what I thought Higher Ed stood for and what I see endorsed and accepted (and, far worse, ommitted!) in these reports, surveys, guidelines, etc. Pathetic.

We're clear-eyed: Every AI company and investor has massive incentive to hype the most glorious AI case. So the technology might never live up to its promise. But this would require every CEO of America's seven biggest companies to be collectively delusional about where they're spending trillions in combined capital.

wow is it possible for seven people to all be wrong about something?

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Mamdani elected and GZDoom has already been forked with texture filtering off by default. Promises kept.

Let’s hope it means the same for the company as those commercials for Pets.com I remember back before the .com bubble burst.

From his mad ravings to the generals meeting yesterday (transcribed in @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletter this morning). This kind of shit is what they're trying to hide:

please clap

Excusable:

This game has it out for Elden Ring players.

The hell it’s not!

Last Judge down!

I actually enjoyed the grueling runback! Or maybe that's Stockholm Syndrome?... youtu.be/DVhHJjvonD8

getting fired from your job because some dipshit student who missed their calling in the Stasi filmed you talking about gender in a class about gender

Take that, Sister Splinter!

(I love this game)

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

I know, right? They're so chatty!

Speedrunning music analysis: Silksong edition. Here's a reduction and beginnings of a neo-Riemannian account of the music for the first legit challenging miniboss (Skull Ant) and subsequent area (Hunter's March). Wonderful music from Christopher Larkin!

What a confederacy of dunces we've become.

Yep, I'd say Broad-Tailed too. I'm always amazed by how aggressive hummingbirds can be for such tiny creatures. They're out for blood when another invades their personal flower!

What a gorgeous bird, and that first shot is phenomenal! Where is this? Doesn't look like an Eastern hummingbird.

Oh no! Hope it's fixed quickly!

I'd also probably not characterize any of this as biting -- JW has always been upfront about the pieces--especially jazz--that he channels. Case in point: he refers to the big Martian sonorities in ANH has his "Planets chords."

He also played on a couple Marty Paich albums. That said, I have no clue if he was familiar with this specific Art Pepper arrangement. Strikes me as a superficial resemblance compared to the Force Theme's more plausible sources, most notably Siegfried's leitmotif from the Ring:
