It is extremely funny to have fake Edward James Olmos say "so say we all" on every jackpot, but I'm getting sick of it.

Both Xena and Knight Rider use voice clips and music from the show, while BSG is sound-alikes, but it's direct quotes and veeery direct imitations of individual music cues in a manner where I think they hope to get the rights after-the-fact as they did with Jurassic Park's score

undoubtedly. after years of doing star wars, marvel, jurassic park, ect, these three are clearly the staff's picks (the DS9 table is similar).

@valondar.bsky.social @grahamb.bsky.social I've finally bought this; for BSG not only is each pinball mission based off an episode of the show, there's a "Crossroads" mode where you hit the Final Five targets while it plays a sound-alike of Bear McCreary's cover of All Along the Watchtower, lol

a question that says "How did you hear about us?" and the only option checked is "Other" where ive written "web address revealed to me in a dream"

beautiful!

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians Exclusive: Tech firm ends military unit’s access to AI and data services after Guardian reveals secret spy project

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

if anything the new devs don't seem to understand this. The default controls now match Mario Kart which is very awkward (the drifting is supposed to be loosely inspired by Outrun 2 and having drift/accelerate on the triggers feels so much better).

I call this piece the “Hypocrisy of Rosenbury: A story of American Fascism”

yes, if only as it's a dem senate and governor, they only have the house. I used to think this would prompt them to make the bills crazier for their base as they wouldn't as much pushback since they wouldn't actually pass. but they are just like this now at all times, clearly

I like to think that when I get full body chills and take the worst nap of my life it's because my immune system is extra good.

Ugh. As long as it keeps you well it's worth it. I will keep you in my thoughts!

BREAKING: At least 62 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn.

I read this as "given the advances in medicine," and I was like, "naturally, naturally."

as they say, you've seen Myst Island before, but never like this.

I believe they do, they made some new hires renders for some posters a few years back. store.cyan.com/products/cla...

they did release versions of some of the buildings under a creative commons license, though they are modified for 3D printing and it's not the whole island or anything close. www.thingiverse.com/cyan_inc/des...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

I owe Slashdot commenters an apology. You had Bill Gates dead to rights from day one. I regret making fun of you. M$ Winbl0wz was unbelievably clever in hindsight. You win

I swear the first time I saw something to this effect on twitter it was a cutesy joke. Only to realize most people responding were incredibly sincere in their belief that this system they had grown up with had intrinsic merit.

Lyrics website popout has the lyric, "You say I'm a pig, but pigs eat truffles," which has 5 annotations. MonicaWeapons, with 5 upvotes, says, you think im low class but I have luxury in my life and good taste, spectral ephemera 13, with 2 upvotes, says, Truffle is something they put on fries. He is saying, you're right, l'm a pig, but I like eating my fries. MemphisMarcus1986, with 2 upvotes says, They have things called truffle hogs which go out and find truffles where they grow. He means, you'd think a pig wouldn't have a job but I'm a "hog with a job." monkeys and mimosas, with 2 downvotes, says, Truffles aren't anything. You're meant to picture muffins but truffles rhymes better. It's a made up word. Pigs eat muffins of course. Right now they are eating some PEOPLE for the mobfia. money pupil, with 7 downvotes, says, pig song. (money teacher would be more insightful)

Mayor Adams: This polo shirt that I'm wearing that says "Eric Adams, Mayor of New York," I'm going to keep wearing it for another four years.

every time I say I'm going out.

for something this, the specificity seems an attempt to get out of front of any negative press and say "well, it's replacing/suplimenting texture packs, we are *not* using it for anything of substance." which is really what I think will dictate the bounds of its use moreso than direct sales

i constantly think about this post

I believe Picard did ICE? But yeah, that's the precise moment (4th episode!) of DSC when I knew I was not gonna give a shit about any of this.

the "jia tolentino wrote a book review where she revealed that the author of eat, pray, love admitted to trying to murder their partner" story felt like old times, lol.

Happy birthday!
