Do we think the fact that someone tried to use my work email to sign up for at least 6 porn sites overnight is related to the fact that I wrote this, or was that just a happy coincidence?

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

After planning 2 more paid acts, narrative scifi power-washer Ambrosia Sky is instead finishing its story in one free update to 'maximize' its focus on what players loved: 'People got in on that sapph... So much for slow burn.

"I was expecting it to take longer for people to care about Maeve and Dalia's relationship," narrative director Kait Tremblay said. "But it did not. People got in on that sapphic yearning right away."

If you're wondering why he thinks windmills are ruining the country, it's because he wasn't able to keep windmills from being built next to his Scottish golf course.

The New York Attorney General's Office has flipped at least one Counter-Strike knife skin on the Steam Marketplace for purposes of state The funds went to a good cause: Buying a Steam Deck. Also for state purposes.

"While [NY's] lawsuit is primarily concerned with its gambling allegations, it also demonstrates the hazards generated by digital marketplaces where real currency is exchangedβ€”particularly ones like Valve's, which provides an avenue for converting virtual commodities into real-world goods and cash."

If you love Marathon's vectorheart style but not its PvP, get your aesthetic fix from the gorgeously overstimulating demo for this time trial FPS instead Tear flesh from bone.

"You play as Fawn-A2, 'chosen for enlistment' as a Cicada combat unit 'due to unforeseen circumstances in your previous life' and tasked with (...) eliminating threats using a cybershotgun that may or may not be intelligent and may or may not be some kind of digital antichrist."

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.

This is worth mentioning to your friends who traded their ChatGPT for Claude subscriptions - Claude helped kill all of those little girls at school in Iran. Anthropic isn’t ethical AI.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city β€” you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders.Β You will be safe here.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

My request for national political media: please remember these are liars, and your job is to not carry their water for them but instead hold them accountable while also accurately and fairly informing the public.
