It’s a damn fucking shame. The media landscape is tightening and the fewer independent voices there are in tech the worse the products and services we use become.

The Senate Just Put Clean Energy for AI in the Crosshairs President Donald Trump’s budget would kill off tax credits for wind and solar, raising costs for new clean energy projects and blowing up valuable investment in those already in the pipeline.

how are we supposed to meet the growing demand for AI by kneecapping some of the cheapest and fastest energy we have available? i have no idea, but i did write about the senate:

OH SHIT

Republican Senate tax bill would add $3.3 trillion to the US debt load, CBO says The changes made to President Donald Trump’s big tax bill in the Senate would pile trillions onto the nation’s debt load while resulting in even steeper losses in health care coverage, the nonpartisan...

11.8 million people stripped of health insurance and $3.3 trillion more debt? Sounds like a winner, folks!

Useful technology isn't something people are forced to use. This was one of the really interesting things I heard maybe a year ago from so many pundits. Things like "I'm trying to think of ways to use this so I become good at it." That's not how productivity tools are supposed to work.

Google search for “all you can eat buffet near me” Al Overview To find an all-you-can-eat buffet near you, you can use online search engines like Google or Yelp, specifying "all you can eat buffet near me". These searches will typically provide a list of nearby restaurants offering buffet-style dining, including their addresses, contact information, and customer reviews. You can also refine your

The singularity is awesome

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

I read I&D after the pandemic, though I had heard about it through one podcast or another. I’m out of the loop of course, but I wonder if the captive audience of Black Library readers helped propel it beyond the niche of Warhammer community. Sometimes good things get popular because they’re good.

As Trump Comes for Your Social Media, It’s Time You Consider What’s Worth Sharing Certain apps may help you avoid the U.S. government using your past posts against you.

The No King's Day protests will inevitably result in viral videos, but you should be seriously considering what goes up on your social media, especially if you plan to travel. I talked to experts and used @blockpartyapp.com to show what you can do to protect yourself.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

The better way to put it is that gaming is becoming far less affordable and accessible. Gaming isn’t the most expensive hobby but it’s true that there are far less affordable avenues to play games.

So GameStop is going to be absolutely bananas the day before the Switch 2.

After just one week in market (w/e 4.26) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Remastered is already the 3rd best-selling game of 2025 in the US ($ sales) trailing only Monster Hunter: Wilds and Assassin's Creed: Shadows.

It was the best-selling game of the week.

Okay I can now confirm my order went through. GameStop told me that the company is putting up more orders on its page and sending out confirmation emails. Check your account and inbox to confirm.

Nope, and I'm also not seeing anything about an order in my GameStop account. Maybe I got played.

I may have recieved my golden ticket from the absolute wasteland that was GameStop's Nintendo Switch 2 preorder scene. I'll wait and see if GameStop does any more shenanigans. Don't worry, I'll be writing up this whole travesty soon enough.

Which albums in particular?
