but… isn’t the point of drinking coffee to sit there and read a book while you do? the decline of reading for fun is maybe the single most depressing thing about the technological era we’re living through

I’ve muted most of American politics (to stay sane, we’ve got enough idiots here in Sweden), but not ’No Kings’. Seeing all the people out protesting is good.

The tech industry needs serious, meaningful regulation about the things it can sell and how it can sell them, and the neoliberal bullshit of “free markets” has allowed this nakedly harmful software to proliferate, taking advantage of the fact that more people than ever feel alone and desperate

Well, this is great news!

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

Cheers and a happy weekend to you all.

A man’s wife has an accident and then the man writes a book.

Here’s hoping midjourney is totally obliterated and everyone working there is sentenced to having tomatoes thrown at them for the rest of their miserable lives. And that we then move on to the next grifter in line.* * not likely to happen but one can hope

Excellent validation for building a physical movie collection.

good morning friends 💚✨

Brad Dourif is living his best life.

Bellingcat CEO @eliothiggins.bsky.social:

There are other newsletter publishers, and I reckon people should use a publisher that doesn’t take Nazi money and spread Nazi views

”Forced” to replay Lies of P to reach the point where I can access the new DLC. It’s a masterpiece and really the only game that has used the soulsborne template to such a large degree while and also managing to sometimes better it.

they should keep gitmo open but only for people who call ai "punk"

This is the one games-related story that we really can't let get buried by the worst guys you know fighting or summer geoff fest.

Pretty sure we’re all going to die from stupidity before we die of everything else.

I’ve muted basically everything here that touches on the insanity of American politics but here’s something to google translate if you want to see how normal newspapers write about your fascist leaders. www.dn.se/ledare/peter...

funniest day online since the billionaire submersible went missing

once again,

Deathloop is free on the Epic Games Store. Fantastically creative FPS/immersive sim with a unique puzzle box structure. And excellent art direction, but it's Arkane Lyon, that kinda goes without saying. store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/deat...

What are we even doing here? If you can't take the time to write something, why should I read it. If you can't time to make a movie, why should I watch it? If you can't take the time to design a game with intention, why the eff would I ever waste my time booting it up?

The perfect bird feeder doesn't exi--

It's all one giant scam.

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

Shout out to every Call of Cthulhu player who’s going to get given a printout of this photo as an in-game handout at some point in the next six months 🧐

If you're into something cozy horror, with claymation animation made with actual clay, and a haunting story that's also less than 5 hours long then I'll give The Midnight Walk a reco. I played in standard mode but also made for VR if you're a sicko that bought a PSVR2.

EA are teasing a new Sims thing, but they've misspelled 'peek' as 'peak' so it reads "You peak through the leaves", implying the game is about ejaculating in the bushes? The tagline "Something is growing" doesn't help.
