"He crossed a line that, I have to tell you, in my lifetime, I would have never imagined... Donald Trump... was talking about using the U.S. Army against people who disagree with him. Just so you’re clear about that, that’s you... This is not some mythical thing out there. He called it “the enemy within.” And to Donald Trump, anybody who doesn’t agree with him is the enemy."
"Hacktivists" attacking the Internet Archive does absolutely nothing to help Palestinians. This is so astonishingly stupid, it has to be some kind of disinfo op.
Today in TLD shenanigans: dot io is being killed off.
Wishing a very pleasant rebranding to all techbros who squatted their web site in an unrelated nation because it made a good pun. On October 3, the British government announced that it was giving... https://jwz.org/b/ykab
I open the closet marked "In Case of Emergency" to find two water guns, one pre-loaded with holy water and the other with Dip from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. There's also a piece of kryptonite in case of Supes, and a crucifix in case of Peter Thiel. The box of table salt is there to make circles with, and just in case, there's silver ammunition and a sharp wooden stake. I know it's a long shot, but the last shelf has a branch of a tree from Burnam Wood, in case of Macbeth.
Every time I see a news item about a Trump trial it's like "Jack Smith filed a brief proving that Trump did more crimes than anyone since 'Crimes Georg' in 1921, as Judge Cannon delays the trial another three years"
I've been playing #Warhammer40000RogueTrader and man, the injury system in this game is ass (mostly because the characters always skitter about like chickens with their heads cut off and immediately set off traps that they themselves just discovered)
Also, the fact that Hit Points are called Wounds (when I think of wounds as missing hit points) is very strange
Today on CNN, the president of the think tank that employs the guy who offered a $5,000 bounty for video of black immigrants eating pets discusses whether the Democrats are using dangerous rhetoric.
Billionaires on social media thoroughly puncture the American presumption that billionaires got that way by being super-intelligent or extremely insightful, as opposed to “smart enough and in the right place at the right time.” This guy’s a fortunate dumbass with zones of competence.
Also discussed: Planning a closed environment where you can introduce the history of video games to your child in chronological order, and then realizing that that's how we got modern gamers. (Ep.68)
Here’s the thing though: Trump voters (1) won’t believe any quantum of evidence (2) don’t care whether it’s true or not (3) will increase their support of him because anyone “attacked by the media” is inherently good (4) don’t think anything he said is particularly bad.
"The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it."
Mozilla deciding to put an end to its Fediverse investments while simultaneously going all in on AI tells you everything you need to know about what it has become.
