It's engagement bait.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

One would think waiting on diagnoses after the initial cancer diagnosis would be kinda "whatever"... but it only got more stressful.

Glad everyone got out. Also a perfect demonstration of the slavic super power of shrugging even the worst event off with some dry humour.

Nah, that's polybius.
Maybe it's about that one song cypress hill made with damian marley?

Fifa and sim city. Look, the socialism stuff is cool and all, but now I know we would get along well

Start making your own chocolates. It's really easy and being involved in the process makes the result so much more delicious.
Made some salted peanut milk chocolate today (the hearts) and some nougat chocolate with a middle layer of pure, roasted hazlenuts. (The broken up bar)

I heard that the AI in the last beta could not handle the HRE at all. Then again, neither could the Kaiser

The bad news is that *even in the current climate* liberals, capitalists, and mainstream media will form a united front with the fascists to oppose a center-left candidate.
The good news is that they can be defeated.

I just want to put this out into the universe.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, Iโ€™d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

It has been a problem from the start, but the western theme park setting was able to camouflage that a lot more than the matrix semi-near future that is season 3.

Really a shame they couldn't put more care into the show. I love the overall idea Westworld is working on here and a lot of what they are doing is really good. But then you also constantly get pulled out by moments with some of the laziest writing, overall world building and directing in prestige TV

Watching Westworld Season 3 in the year 2025 for the first time is quite interesting.
Might in some aspects even work better if you haven't seen season 1&2.
The whole theme park setting is basically gone and it turned into a show about AI and robots in the world of the rich and powerful.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdaniโ€™s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Ffs...
A: this only reinforces my wish for actual fever dream gaming where reality is in constant flux.
B: obviously everything in this sucks, but why generate graphics that look at best like contemporary realtime rendering?!

This is just bait, right?

In Capital, Marx quotes a bunch of bourgeois folk who say actually automation creates jobs because employers use the money they save on expanding the scale of production. His reply is essentially โ€˜well yeah eventually but itโ€™s still a fucked time for the individual workersโ€™

Ok this is actually good and extremely funny

Yes this is bad in the context of the greater We're Already In A Mild Recession And The Bubble Hasn't Even Burst Yet (bsky.app/profile/carl...) but

this, in isolation, is Extremely funny

If you're in the market for a new one, I'm really happy with the Nacon case.

Not in-game, but i did "let the application decide" in the driver.
Will try and let you know. But i guess that means it's no specific game pass issue then. (At least to anyones knowledge)

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken.  How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
