Man it's so cool that in addition to having no real use other than devaluing a lot of entry level jobs and allowing people with no taste to avoid commissioning artists for things, the main thing that this tech seems to do is "make people crazy and stupid"

Sometimes I’ll replay a game and think “I’ll do an evil playthrough, that’ll be new and fun” and then I’ll do one evil thing and be like no…it’s wrong to do that to these pixels.

Mark Cuban posts: Want to use rich people like me to your advantage? Incent us to help those who need it the most. Lower corp taxes for comps that pay a min of $25 per hour. Lower corp taxes if employees get stock at the same pct as the CEO. Bottom up incentives work. Dems never innovate. They bitch marthapearce55.bsky.social replies: You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?

Mark Cuban getting ratiod by a complete rando

A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away. The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would’ve required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom.

i believe that short form video is maybe one of the worst things people have ever come up with and it should be regulated at least as much as cigarettes

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

Katie Nolan worries ESPN will want to make 'NFL RedZone' all about gambling Former ESPN host Katie Nolan worries that the network will focus "NFL RedZone" too much on gambling after its deal to license the show.

"It's not that I think (RedZone) doesn't exist for that. I'm saying gambling getting its f*cking hands on every single little piece of it is starting to annoy me."

ICE looted their restaurant and tried to break into the safe. News chopper footage caught them backing their cars up to the door and carrying out cases of food.

“i need to be incentivized to do good” is such a fundamentally evil position

Ooh! I wrote about something similar for @vermonthistory.org: transfer-orbit.ghost.io/vermont-hist...

depth charges are such a sucker punch cause at first you're like, oh nice free barrels

Why A Bunch Of Real Dicks Keep Throwing Fake Ones | Defector Every misogynist joke poses a question to its female audience: Can you laugh along? Will you be chill or are you going to make a big deal out of this? Are you going to be a bitch about it? Arriving in...

I find the dildo thing pretty appalling so I wrote a bit about why

Mamdani should start posting on LinkedIn and explode some heads lol

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

every american jobs headline is like “hey remember that thing capitalists pushed on you? turns out it was a crock of shit”

This is again a reminder that college isn’t supposed to just teach you a job but is supposed to teach you how to think, because that job you’re training for might not exist when you graduate

Obviously it was all a ruse to lower the cost of coding-based labor but if you pointed that out at the time all the columnists would go totally insane.

Anyone not an adult in the early-mid 2010s doesn't understand how pervasive the "learn to code or you will literally die of starvation 10 years from now" talking point was literally everywhere. You couldn't escape it.

I feel so bad for people who were misled.

Wild to see considering how we pushed students into these majors over the last decade or so.

So true it hurts

Meta brought AI to rural Colombia. Now students are failing exams When Meta embedded AI bots in its apps, even students in the most remote corners of Colombia gained access. But rather than boosting learning, it’s getting in the way.

Educators warn that easy access to AI is deepening existing problems in Colombia, which was already struggling with low graduation and literacy rates

man i say this as nicely as possible, but no they aren't

*D&D* is expensive. Apocalypse World is $20. Strike! is $15. LANCER is $25 but all the player-facing content is free so only the GM really needs to pay anything.

I very much feel this way with my own writing heh. Just nothing to say, really.
