Hmm, interesting story about a variety of hot pepper revived, thanks to someone's grandfather, seeds in the bottom of a freezer, and treating arthritis with beestings. Also slavery and Haiti.🤔 BBC: The US pepper that was nearly lost […] [Original post on ai6yr.org]

Gabe Newell is probably the richest man who actually understands what a video game is

THIS STILL EXISTS?! HOLY CRAP this is like discovering zombo still exists (its from the same era, 2003ish) but its STILL GOING and you can buy tickets now?! im floored https://www.youtube.com/@KAIJUBIGBATTEL/videos

it was an objectively a weird experience to be sitting in the airport with a bunch of other folks destined for san diego, worried about what we'd encounter returning to the US.

we've reached the point that there are now articles saying we should just skip paying taxes because of what they fund https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/20/americans-government-taxes

oh are they going to give bond the 'marvel treatment'? are q and moneypenny going to get their own spinoffs? will they start offering vinyl wraps for every flavor of aston martin? does bond get inserted into the merchandising machine now?

i should rewatch team america again, just to see how it lands

The American governance situation right now in a nutshell.

Convenience vs. privacy; a lot of people (most?) prefer convenience of <insert service here> even at the expense of privacy, etc. So, "But Facebook is so easy" or "I'll use Google Docs". In the world of companies and countries who may use that data against you (right now, to sell you products […]

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all. We don't want to be on any list. And now the US Gov and Musk is trying to get […]
