Why was I invited to Beast Studios?

This was a somewhat surreal moment for me as an old-school CollegeHumor enjoyer. Thank you @adamconover.net for having me on!

if you are a man in a leadership position in games you need to actively think about &work towards a healthier culture at your studio for women and POC. you DO need to be thinking about it. you CANT just assume because you're a good person or a girl dad or whatever that it's enough. it's not enough.

the types of podcasts: a guide

Oh my god, one thousand people.

this is really fascinating. reactionary politics i suppose are at their core suspicious and frightened. people who are different from you are simply not to be trusted.

Headline and stand first from the New York Times: What Are Jacket Potatoes, and Why Are the English Waiting Hours for Them? The heavily topped tubers, a British classic, are having a culinary comeback thanks to social media.

“The heavily topped tubers…”

Header: "British woman without cervic and vagina naturally becomes pregnant after reconstructive surgery", with an error code: "JavaScript must be enabled to use this feature".

Finally, a real use case for JavaScript

would be so good to be single so I could impress dates with quotes from the chronicles of riddick

Ben Ryan tweet saying: “The persistent and widespread claim that youth with gender dysphoria are at an extremely high risk of suicide absent cross-sex hormones is not based in evidence. See: mentalhealth.bmj.com/content...”

Hey, @benryanwriter.bsky.social - I pointed out the glaring error in this analysis.

NO SUICIDE PREVENTION PROTOCOL FOR TEENS IS STUDIED AGAINST COMPLETED SUICIDES!

How to make yogurt: milk a cow, homogenize + pasteurize the milk, heat up the milk again, let it get back down to 110 F, stir in some bacterial culture, let it sit for 8-12 hours, add fruit/sugar to taste.
How to make ultra-processed yogurt: Do all that and then add a drop of food coloring.

What even are ‘ultra-processed’ foods? Here’s a workable definition.

In a recent Nature Medicine article, Roberto and two co-authors proposed a different approach: Instead of trying to define what qualifies as ultra-processed, define what does not qualify.

lmao this is not a "workable definition" of ultra-processed foods, it's just rewording the problem

SnakeyDave's review of TR-49 | Backloggd During my playthrough, I enjoyed this, though I found myself a little flummoxed towards the end. However, and somewhat appropriately, the more I reflect on the game, the more impressed I am with it. <...

Completed TR-49 a while back. Bit special, isn't it?

NHS England pauses new prescriptions of cross-sex hormones for under-18s The health service said young people who already receive the drugs will continue to do so.

The Cass review, used to justify an ideological decision to withhold medical care from trans teenagers, is throughly discredited.
The Health Secretary and NHS England are lying to patients and their families and to the public.
This is severe institutional transphobia.

Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.

Mirror selfie, stood in running vest and slutty shorts.

Before a 6 mile race I'm ill prepared for.

Senior Labour figures tell Keir Statmer to stop making mistakes.

And Matt Goodwin who DID NOT win

so I hope nobody seriously thinks Labour are going to do anything other than tack further to the right

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Lovely news to wake up to. 💚

So why do I feel so angry about this whole AI thing? Some notes on the bullshit maximiser.

Great concise piece on why AI is rubbish. Really like how it grapples with how attitudes to technology are often about age, unfamiliarity, and fear, but, nevertheless, AI is different, and is in-fact shite.

Wuthering Heights, sorry, "Wuthering Heights" is intermittently quite good before there's a jump scare of Margot dressed like the witch from snow white or dracula, or some shot from the overlook hotel.

re:your "Ace Ventura goes to Epstein Island" script—we like the concept. We th ink its very good. But it borrows too many jokes from AV1 & 2

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI.

AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

Ha, same. Honestly, the green shards in Metroid Prime 4 were a treat.

If you want to sell me a next-gen console, just fill its games with loads more little boxes and pots and crates for me to punch into pieces as I pootle about the place.

I'm that easy to please.

Hmm, I did pretty well with 2016, but some notable gaps: Stephen's Sausage Roll, Rez Infinite, Kentucky Route Zero, XCom 2, Pony Island, Shadow Tactics. Nice idea.

Not a bad shout! I played loads of the first level of Hitman 2016 but got overwhelmed by Sapienza. The framing of a decade later might get me over the hurdle of going back.

If children were more politically active they would be quite pissed to be told that their screen time is “the most urgent public health issue” while the largest measles outbreak since the vaccine sweeps their schools because of conspiracies that the adults in their life believed from social media.
