I write about space, in several places. Used to write about other stuff? But now pretty much it's space. I also talk about gaming here, though. Also politics, sadly and mostly unwillingly, but I do try to damp it down a bit

Okay wow yeah Cuomo got wrecked I think a lot of voters decided that they could vote Lander and feel satisfied with their choice because their #2 was gonna win either way, no worries about someone sneaking through

...honestly thought it'd take longer. Also honestly confused as to why the powers that be backed Cuomo in the first place. Lander is a cool guy who did fun Coney Island vids and has a solid career as NYC Comptroller. He'd be perfect as the Stolid Technocrat Candidate. Back HIM. Cuomo? Bruh.

There's someone getting EXTREMELY not mad in the quotes for this And yes she absolutely pivoted to variations on "long COVID is just a thing that lazy white women made up" as soon as she got pressed Can't tell if she's shooting for an Altman gig or a JFK Jr. gig, it's all kinda the same these days

...this is like that thing where at least one Japanese dude literally went to jail for Twitch streaming certain games Everybody assumes that American rules are going to be the case elsewhere and hoo boy you CANNOT make that assumption

TBH, to the extent that "OMG BLUESKY IS DYING!!!" it's kinda because of this. There's so much of a focus on horrible American political stuff that very little room is left for anything else. That will quickly drain away any ability to actually DO anything...especially anything political.

Yeah uh cannot overstress that you should not go to the United States under any circumstances right now "Roving gangs of masked thugs with kidnap quotas, that will send you to some random hellhole, with the blessing of the tyrant's judicial lackeys" is not something anyone should be risking. Jesus.

It is honestly impressive how everything about AI just screams "the worst asshole you've ever known" All the defenders are huge douchebags, the users are brain-damaged plagiarists, the guys running the companies all act like they tortured squirrels as kids, it's honestly uncanny

I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm

I mean it IS kinda ironic that the American regime doing Saddam shit is attacking Iran of all countries Trump might as well start wearing the mustache at this point
