Same. I keep checking nintendo.com and it’s still “Preparing to ship”. I hope they seriously don’t wait until Thursday to ship it and I then don’t get it until next week. Oh well, dying empire problems, amirite?

The thing that makes me angriest is the lack of contrition. These people are directly culpable for their friend being torn from her family. But they pretend that her arrest is an act of God, like a tornado, that just . . . happened. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

I like NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang a lot more when he’s not talking about AI. youtu.be/ic2ez3ZoKAk

Hmm. Meijer says they’ll have Switch 2’s on opening day. But they aren’t open 24 hours anymore. So are they going to accommodate midnight shoppers like some other stores, or do you just need to bomb in there at 6 AM when they open? www.meijer.com/shopping/dep...

The title boast is bigger than the video justifies (it doesn’t even mention Marvel), but Blake’s 7 is good and more people should know about it. youtu.be/HBss2QKmIO4

June 2, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Obsolete Man" airs. A totalitarian state decides to execute a man who poses a grave threat to their "perfect" society: a librarian. But the tables soon turn. Stars Burgess Meredith in the 3rd of his 4 TZ eps, and Fritz Weaver in the 2nd of two.

"Because people who constantly transgress can’t function with the knowledge that they are immoral, they must believe—and teach—that everyone is just as corrupt as they are." That's what it's all about. New from @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/whatabouti...

I had one of these in college. Always a struggle to go with the less popular platform, but I could at least write papers on it, and there were lots of import games from Europe. Later, I’d get a Spectre GCR and turn it into a virtualized Mac Plus.

Happy Pride to like at least half the smart, creative, thoughtful people I know? I mean, y’all are a pretty sizable chunk of my friendbase.

Right by where I grew up. And the same parking lot as Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum, if you’re into retro gaming.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

You would expect universities of all institutions to understand history: capitulation only invites further aggression. Fight now or die later.

I want to rage in the comments at AI-generated shit that shows up in Facebook posts, like “what if all the Muppets were humans,” or “here’s the STAR WARS cast’s 1970s-style high school yearbook photos,” but instead I just look forlornly at the world and the future of art burning.

I feel like the degree to which much of America has just quit giving a fuck is somehow connected to how much of America right now is a great big scam. Do your job competently? You're seen as a mark. Everybody else says "why bother?"

It’s an unconscionably greedy and manipulative F2P game, but nevertheless I’ve still got Disney Speedstorm in my morning rotation, and today I got Belle maxed out as my first level 50 racer. It’s nice to be overpowered sometimes.

“Imply”, nothing. It confirms you’re a bad person.

One of the best things about being Gen X is that we were, and will always be, too old to give a shit about Harry Fucking Potter.
