87 Metacritic score for season 5... I must have been watching a different show. Hacks has a great first two seasons, but nosedives after that. It's not sharp, fresh and original anymore. Just rehashing.

No one on this platform is going to do anything about Palantir. Switching email providers is already asking too much.
Daily and monthly killings in Ukraine has reached WO I proportions. Drones are killing soldiers faster than they can be replaced.
I doubt it's his personal iPhone. It's not like you can easily upload pictures to iCloud in outer space.
"Suspicions". Oh please.
The new implant icons in Marathon are tonally off to me. I hope they do a refinement in an update.
Absolum deserves more love/conversation. I have a nostalgic fondness for the side-scrolling beat'em up, but while the new Street of Rage and TMNT games were fun, modern entries, they didn't solve the genre's inherit shallowness. Absolum does.
Best in the genre, and looks absolutely sick.
The only upcoming console I lust after. I will play it for 30 minutes total probably.
Latest in @theatlantic.com The Ukrainians are now longer pretending that Donald Trump's USA is their friend. Their honesty is important as they seem to understand how much Trump is helping Putin and how important it is that Europe stick together. Gift Link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Alles is te hacken en wordt gehacked. Daarom krijgen computers en telefoons ook constant updates...
Looking forward to this, but I hope I don't have to suffer through that cringy festival nonsense of Forza 5.

I second Temple of Doom. Although I also have fond memories of being terrified.
Marathon makes me say focus group sentences like "This game makes me feel challenged and rewarded."
Dezelfde coalitie die ons al een decennium bestuurt - en hier niet voorbereidend op heeft gehandeld - is net weer herkozen door de Utrechters.
Only 6(!) copies left of the gorgeous, large-size The Doll screenprint by Saprophial!

Quelle surprise
Good story, and this is a fantastic line: "friction is the basis of all pleasure"

Hey, thanks!
Cook & Becker parcel box opened, showing certificate of authenticity and its sleeve, as well as the print. On the inside of the opened cardboard flap it says: It's a beautiful thing.
Shadow of the Colossus print by Cook and Becker, limited edition 132/300, somerset Satin White 300 grams, 70 x 50 cm by Kilian Eng
Detail shot, showing of the beautiful golden frame around the picture and the hand written numbers in the corner of the print.
The first thing that greeted me at home: the limited edition Shadow of the Colossus print from @cookandbecker.bsky.social – My first order from them. Beautifully packaged and nice quality. Super vibrant colors!
I’m sure the rag for the rich feels the need to advocate looking away from suffering ‘to contemplate...’
Good to be reminded that professors can draw ridiculous conclusions, and write needless essays that could’ve been summarized as: ‘stop doomscrolling'

Such great news from Hungary!
@marathonthegame.bungie.net is a masterpiece. The only AAA game apart from Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 in the past five years that obsesses me.
The brilliant art direction is obvious, but that sound-design too... /chef's kiss.
It's on Sky Showtime (in NL) right now. Surprising, as I expected it to be on HBO. Only ever saw the DVD so nice to have a higher-res version.
It was always easily in my Top 5 but while I rewatched The Soprano's like 6 times, Deadwood I did not. Started yesterday and it is indeed so good. Love it when a piece of fiction gets all the synapses firing.
I watched Wolf Hall recently and that had the same effect on me. Brilliant show that!
Very few new TV shows are able to hold my attention these days, so I thought I'd give this a rewatch instead.
Wow. That opening episode alone has more pace and plot than most shows have in their entire run. They really, really don’t make them like they used to.
Jetzt op Prime geloof ik. Zeker niet het gezelligste voor de vrijdagavond, ook geen perfecte serie, maar Cumberbatch acts the hell out it.
If the training data is human input, the moral choices your A.I. model is going to make will lead to hell.
I thought we figured that out thousands of years ago? There is a book about it and everything. Also, read the news.
