Sometimes while I'm debugging, I get lost in the sauce.

I'm using MusiKraken to send poly aftertouch and sostenuto here.

Firefly is the perfect sci-fi to embody this political moment (derogatory).

Firefly is the only show I like that gets worse every time I watch it.

And I like some "problematic" art.

I'm talking about just quality and impact.

I think maybe I just yearned for Kaylee. Or wanted to be her. Shit's confusing.

Point is, I had similar feelings about the announcement.

Haven't seen all of these, but for me it goes:

Prey > Predator 2 >>>>>> Predator > Killer of Killers

If I did see Predators, I completely forgot it.

Okay, today I'm going to fix the MPE fanout bug and then I get to play Prey. That's the deal I'm making with me.

iPhone did it.

We were all working on bring-your-own-client open protocols, and mesh networking. Then the iPhone dropped and you could deliver features from centralized servers without needing any of that distributed tech.

And gee, it's way easier to monetize, so the money all went there.

This is amazing. Some real "rest of the fucking owl" vibes from the best bassist ever.

Even people I know and like, people I am pretty sure would use their voice to help me if I ever needed it

play into the deadly sex worker stigma, seemingly unconsciously, when criticizing vile evil women

And while I don't feel like calling them out directly right now and might privately later...

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back. People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.

Today’s jobs report is even worse than losing 92,000 jobs last month in February:

β€œWith these revisions, employment in December and January combined is 69,000 lower than previously reported.”

So much for Donald Trump being the β€œJobs President,” MAGA.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Making things missable to a player is the only way to create meaningfully divergent play, e.g. branching plot, alternative quest solutions, etc.

If nothing can be missed, all playthroughs are identical.

"The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you've been harboring since you were 7." is my favorite quote from Guillermo del Toro. I don't think there is another director with whom I so identify. Hearing him talk about movies gets me emotional and his movies really speak to me.

If you want to know who the NYT really is, as an institution, I once again encourage you to go to the page for their official PR attack-dog account, @nytimespr.bsky.social, and read their replies

There are 435 members of the House, 100 in the Senate. Less than a handful are worth a damn, and even that's debatable. You think that happened on accident? That every person to get into office just happens to suck ass, out of a country of 348M people? This is what the system is designed to produce.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

Liberals, this is the shit we mean when we say the parties act together against our interests.

You want people of conscience to ignore their values to vote for these "pragmatic" politicians, but they betray us constantly.

Your party is not good.

Listen, if they're going to try to bring back firefly which is already a bad idea, they had better do it without whedon. And others. Tbh this feels exactly in line with other shows that are taking advantage of the current administration and fascistic media landscape to just be nostalgia slop

That's a thing they deal with in several episodes, where the story revolves around avoiding revealing their existence to some pre-warp civilization.

Original Star Trek played a lot more fast and loose with it, but TNG actually engages with what you're talking about.
