SILKSONG!!!

'we wanted to make a dark souls but couldn't really nail the vibe' is a whole genre now eh

give me a minute. ahem

! ... no

It really cracks me up that Will is this commited to a theory of influence that is ultimately just "turtles all the way down" Where does the ideology that shapes my opinions come from? Other people, of course!

Every 7.5 minutes, an American man thinks about the Roman Empire. Albeit now with an increasingly dreadful sense of recognition.

Furthermore, I know for a fact that my opponent was a willing participant in the Masked Feast of Blood, and that he himself consumed more virgin flesh than any other at the Black Table. And how do I know this? Ah. Well, you see, ah,

More bad news for tech wunderkind Elon Musk - a photograph has recently surfaced that appears to show Elon associating with Epstein Files alumnus Donald J Trump

it would be so cool if something happened. we’re so god damn close to something happening

It’s always been a bit like this in Britain - everyone agreeing that the new deranged project is absolutely vital, and that any left wingers who say it’s bad are dangerous idiots and maybe traitors. But it kicked into high gear after the 2008 crash, because people in charge felt acutely vulnerable.

everything was filled with sperm, except the captain’s pantaloons pockets

they would! they figure the more he hurts people, the less they'll have to do to win next time

streaming early today! in 5 mins 🦉

new stellaris update. "i hope that didn't break anything!" i said. open latest game, hit with the "your empire has been destroyed" screen lol. ty for that. ironman too

one thing about police is that if an explicitly fascist party came to power and gave them direct orders to go out rounding up people to be sent to extermination camps i'd be surprised and impressed if more than 1 in 100 of them refused the order or quit

The most consistent political position of Republican politicians is that billionaires need more money, a position that between 5-10% of the population is in favor of

There's a pretty explicit test case of a center left party abandoning trans people and immigrants. Labour in the UK have done just that and their political support has imploded while legitimizing the fascist Reform party. Dem consultants seem content to follow this strategy.

donnie drumpf is too much of a chicken to sate my bloodlust with hyperviolence. this is all i dislike him for

this & every story like it is an advertisement. "AI" has not done and cannot do any of these things, you could make a stronger claim that some video game enemies are alive because they take cover when shot at

Light though thou be, thou leapest out of darkness; but I am darkness leaping out of light, leaping out of thee!

labour will never win over reform voters by being more racist while they're in power, the whole idea is to tell the lie "there are problems in society because the government isn't being racist enough" and that doesn't work when you are the government

The intellectual crime of being against massacring starving people when they crowd aid trucks, of bombing hospitals, of targeting journalists and doctors for death, killing tens of thousands of children--all in the vain hope of avoiding repercussions from the criminals behind these atrocities.

bringing this over

Experimental post: Untruthful Mario Boxes Occasionally, box art of Mario-related games will be misleading about the number of levels a game has. I list three examples in ascending order of "fraudulence", alongside equivalent statements if these were real estate ads.

If an American posts “oh shit oh fuck” with no other context it’s because something happened in a baseball game, if a British person posts that it’s because something happened to Doctor Who

what's the gossip?

leave aside the horendous failure of the american media to pick up on any of this: you, individually, can be black bagged and deported for saying in america what haaretz reports in israel

in fiction i will fully buy into the idea that a grey box robot that made a sad-sounding beep is alive and conscious. when the same is asked of me in reality i am revolted. i desire to kick the dancing boston dynamics robots apart

i need someone who believes in all this chatbot AI stuff to explain to me how exactly it is supposed to differ from a chess computer or a calculator in terms of consciousness. do you think it is closer & why

i have a big desk fan i like that every time i turn it off it angles to point at the ceiling for no reason, forcing me to wait for it to pivot back down again the next time i turn it on. a minor annoyance

carrying on with baldur's gate in 5 mins. mainly going to be complaining about how i don't know what any of the spells do

some people are asking what the better messaging would be, & it's calling the republicans weird perverts who want the government to go around inspecting people's genitals. walz was on to it before he got pulled backstage and told to knock it off

i didn't play baldur's gate 3 for too long and i have zero idea what is happening any more so i'm going to start over on stream in 10 mins

the democrats could easily out-message the republicans on trans rights, but they do not want to. they know what works and what doesn't and they will keep doing what doesn't work on purpose

Tip for reading these headlines: remove "the debate over" or equivalent from them and reread them

YouTube’s AI generated reply suggestion to our latest episode of Bad Hasbara, in which we interview a holocaust survivor.

Dear god... we've found them

In the Goopy Inferno mission in Super Mario Sunshine, one of the Piantas is an unexpected Chuckster. A player who talks to him and happens to tilt the Analog Stick in an unfortunate direction after exiting the dialogue will make him throw Mario with enough momentum to kill him.
