I really wanted to like Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow but just couldn't get past the actual writing being way too cloying for its own story

Absolutely - all his guff about doing it for his family falls flat when it's clear he doesn't actually enjoy spending time with them and would rather take on Jesse as someone he can mentor/control

"Good" within limits - he's clearly always wanted Gretchen instead and seems to resent Skyler and Walt Jr, even if he hasn't done anything outright shitty to them before the show starts

Andrew Tate on Sparkling Water
Andrew Tate on Sparkling Water YouTube video by WudanTalks

This is a man who knows 1) how to be dril for the short video crowd, 2) that his audience will recognise it as tongue-in-cheek and 3) that it makes his actual bile easier to pass off as a bit

Tate's a horrific person, but this is also a very blatant shitpost from someone who's built a lot of his appeal on being a banter-producing clown *ahead* of being a virulent misogynist

Did you ever read Killing Is Harmless? I've been meaning to reread it for a while, I'm interested in how he'd rewrite it nowadays

I just feel like, ideally, the Labour response to yesterday's result would have tried to talk people *out* of detecting to the Greens, rather than, y'know, the opposite?

Stages of embryo development

It's slightly upsetting that many online diagrams of a blastocyst turning into an embryo are very 'how to draw an owl'

A leaflet headlined "Smaller Hungary!" showing a map of Hungary having ceded territory to surrounding countries. The remaining territory takes the shape but not size of the pre-Treaty of Trianon Kingdom of Hungary, as a deliberate pisstake of people who want to re-expand Hungary's borders to take back the territories it lost then, even though they are mostly occupied by non-Hungarians.

Hence it doesn't really have the scope for these weirdo fringe parties that other countries have; see also the Hungarian Two Tailed Dog Party who are responsible for one of the best shitpost political bits I have seen in my life

Billionaire halts mass eviction after London Centric investigation Exclusive: Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital hoped to replace hundreds of tenants with more lucrative temporary accommodation. That plan has been shelved – for now.

Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

I honestly gave up on single-player roguelikes last year because of this, tempted as I am by another stab at Sunless Seas

New: Drones are redrawing the map of war in Ukraine.

Relentless surveillance has pushed the battlefield 20km beyond the front, in both directions. Supplies arrive by drone; the wounded leave by robot.

This is the β€œkill zone” β€” and the future of warfare.

Maybe he hasn't (Elon Musk commented as well), but I think every techie in DC right now is going to learn who Hannah Arendt was in a few years anyways

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
