“A decade of growth!”
My doc says this about the mole on my back. /s
Stay classy, young men.
…because he already owns a domain and independently publishes his blog? He’s not part of the substack world.
Having your own site is the original decentralized internet. I can understand dumping all your effort into things you fully control. Doctorow handles it similarly these days.
Mike Judge is out here busy making or being involved in quality shit like the upcoming Common Side Effects.
Luke Wilson is not an imaginative person, based on his pitch in the article here.
Oh, I know. We’re slowly dismantling every system that gave the US a good name in the world.
The beginnings of ecofascism are here.
After they have locked up everyone who tried to warn the world, they will eventually turn to claiming only they are smart enough to dole out what’s left of Earth’s dwindling resources.
Yeah I don’t even think it’s until Trump gets in, the US famously burned tons of Afghan and Iraqi interpreters, leaving them to violence and death, being treated as traitors. They were told they’d be first in line to get out of the country but that… never happened.
But you’re right about exchanging them for a hot dog, Trump is somehow even worse than the most craven US administrations.
Meet the Paycheck.
Background checks for every family and children
Because God forbid we let people grow, change, and have opportunity once they’ve paid their debts to society!
Check out this guy, advocating doing background checks on children.
Unpopular opinion but I’d rank a lot of them as “overrated.”

Stop glorifying the grind and start glorifying whatever in the hell Wind in the Willows is.
To be faaaaaaaaaaaiiiiir, a lot of that was tied up in the switch from overhead isometric view to first-person view.
Fallout 1/2 didn’t focus on graphics, they were in many ways point-and-click adventures. A lot of things you had to hover over for “flavor text” and every once in a while something only four pixels wide exists that you need to notice.
So the gameplay actually actively eschewed graphics in favor of things like flavor text and reading.
Further, the switch to first person broke the SPECIAL system, because how to you even manage a gun skill in a first person shooter without it feeling absurd? It made sense in isometric, even if it was often frustrating to miss an enemy when you had a 79% chance to shoot them in the balls. Putting that in a first person when you mag dump into someone standing right in front of you and half your shots feels a lot less realistic, and can quickly become frustrating in a more fast-paced first-person-shooter environment. The SPECIAL system feels absolutely slapped on as an afterthought in Fallout 3.
Also, the writing in Fallout 3 was that shitty Bethesda writing. The writing was just subpar compared to the prior two installments. Especially the fucking stupid ass end of the game.
I’d say a lot of those complaints were driven more by the perspective switch than anything else.
Today I learned there are exhibitionist office workers as well as exhibitionist sex workers.
During the roughly 3.5 hours that these services were impacted, about 55% of the logs we normally send to customers were not sent and were lost.
Bullshit ass headline. They only lost 55% of logs generated during a three and a half hour stretch. The headline makes it read like they lost 55% of all their logs ever.
Still a big deal, a lot can happen in 3.5 hours, but not as big as a deal as the headline makes out.
How will it handle the surge?
By enshittifying to make those venture capital bucks back.
But that would require research, reading, and most importantly, actually giving a shit.
Far easier to just swallow AI generated swill, apparently.
Also: “That was just an AI hallucination, it’s not admissible in court” when it was absolutely not an AI hallucination when the cop shot someone for mouthing off.
It’s a really positive way to view the whole thing and just very wholesome.
