sort of which I'd gotten a used Bolt instead of a used Volt but i'm similarly happy with my choice, regardless.

Not sure that's the *biggest* drawback but it's perhaps among the least expected.

Ex Machina sure hits different in the AI bubble.

Here's this week's #LastFourWatched on #LetterboxdFriday

being at work is watching everyone insist the emperor really has clothes while also directly shoving me towards the emperor's naked crotch.

twitch streams be like "what if we had a talk show like on the radio but the entire audience can call in the whole time"

The look I get when the pets stop

we do ourselves a disservice as players by treating "roleplaying" and "improvising" are synonyms. they are not. you can have mechanical rules and rewards for roleplaying while still giving players plenty of room to talk in funny voices. every table i've sat at in the past 15 yrs has had this dynamic

it's been 6 days lol

i'm being told by my boss i should start thinking about replacing my research recommendations with vibe coded solutions that can be pulled into production.

which is a long way of saying: yes, yes we are.

my greatest skill is being hard on myself.

if you support or hold in reverence current or past politicians that align with Zionism, this is the moment to have tough conversations with yourself about that.

About time this got some coverage. The NYT buried it.

it would have been almost exactly like the Biden presidency so yes, better, but completely fathomable. i voted for them both if it's any consolation.

Kamala Harris says Iran is ‘greatest adversary’ of US Democratic presidential candidate says preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is one of her top priorities.

Unfortunately I don't think she would have been the anti-war hero you're hoping for.

the rest of the world should be take advantage of our low munition supply and use this as an opportunity to fuckin' sack us.

that's the spirit

From AF Post: US weapons stockpiles, particularly cruise missiles, are being depleted amid the conflict with Iran, according to Reuters. In the past three days, roughly 400 Tomahawk missiles have been expended, equivalent to about five years of supply.

sweet. if we run out we can just light Hegseth's breath on fire and send him in like a stupid bro dragon

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggghh

lately i find myself agreeing with her more than democratic leadership. did NOT have that on my 2026 bingo card.

i don't suppose building trains and complete streets is an option

i've heard what the future of UX jobs is at Microsoft... and holy fuck is it stupid. can't be specific, but lets just say I don't like the "vibes"

done, next task please

he personally enriches himself at the expense of almost the entire world. Saudis are already bribing Trump via Kushner, Miriam Adelson is readying the dump trucks of cash... shouldn't be surprising, he's all he's ever cared about.

a very anxiety-inducing thing about this war is, thanks to *gestures vaguely* everything, the truth about it will get murkier and murkier as time goes on. beyond how it started, i wonder if future historians will ever be able to piece it all together.

hello i would like to talk to you about our lords and saviors "rice and beans"

the fact that so many countries - including Canada! - have chastised Iran for it's retaliatory strikes but not the US and Israel for their unprompted, illegal first strike absolutely does my head in. you'd think Europe would have learned the appeasement lesson long ago.

Trump: I expect oil prices to drop once operations against Iran are over.

oh. ok.
