Seattle is an open primary, so those statement blowouts by Evans and Foster are already against their top competition for November. Incumbents Davison and Nelson already likely done for.

Wilson will be in a tight race with Harrell going into November, but daaaaaang take a look at those numbers for Erika Evans for city attorney and Dionne Foster for city council seat 9. 👀

Watching the Seattle primary results like

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

They were going to give you vaccines to cure and prevent recurrence of cancer. And Trump and RFK and MAGA took it all away. You should be furious with these killers.

Daaaaaaang this is good 🔥

This album can’t get here fast enough

This posture was enhanced by the keyboard driven interface of flying around in Radiant while working on Quake 4 and Wolfenstein. Just looking like I’m randomly mashing keys while slumped so far back I could be on a recumbent bike

Yup.

This posture is still significantly better than I had in the early 2000s when I would lean back and slouch so far down my head was barely above the desktop/keyboard

lmaooooo this dumb shit just doesn’t fly anymore

I wish I thought you were wrong

I can’t help but wonder: is there just one shitty AI-generated summary? Or does it regenerate a new one every time someone clicks on the “summarize this story” option?

Asked my daughter what she thought of her first viewing of THE THING and got this in response.

pepo's goal, my heart will go on version

This looks like one of those sets that needs to be maybe 25% bigger to get a bit better definition of shape, but this is also not an easy form to translate to Lego. Top silhouette looks real nice but some of the other angles aren't my favorite

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

OK, I laughed.

Maaaaan I miss fireflies. 😭 can’t remember the last time I saw one

This is a little tangential to the base prompt but I will give a shout out to the guy who—as the lights dimmed and the audience quieted for the opening night midnight showing of The Phantom Menace in little ol Beatrice, NE—yelled out, “BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!”

"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate. Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services. He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?" "He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner

(This limitation also meant that there is nowhere a marine can go that at least two classes of alien can’t also reach, and vice versa, so it’s a good design constraint anyway!)

You could only have 3 cliphull sizes in Half-Life (Quake 1 tech), so this is one reason why the Natural Selection mod aliens were sized as they were - Skulks and Lerks had to be the same size as a crouching player, fades were exactly player-sized, and only the level 5 onos was allowed to be larger

This is how Quake era tech handled clip hulls for monster/bot navigation. In later tech like Doom 3 you’ll see separate .aas## files generated for maps during compile, where ## represents the size of the hull, i.e. .aas32 for a 32 unit wide bounding box (player-scale)

He just rattles off three zany things and I love all of them

Nice of Nouhou to finish it off at least

Even the keeper had the shrug of “what are you even gonna do about that”

Writers should never modify their own prose as a reaction to what stupid fucking generative AI is doing -- that shit stole from us, and it stole poorly, incompletely, and has none of our magic and zero of our humanity, our experience, our wonder and fear, and it never ever will. Fuck AI. You do you.

Yeah this is still incredible

Eeeeyyyyyyy
