If you want to know what cookie's bustle is actually like to play now that it's free from jail, well! Here you are.

Did we like it? Yes. Is it "good?" That is up to individual interpretation.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this.

This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

The initial premise of this sounded insane so I thought it was a shitpost but it's actually real and tainted by an infernal evil.

Someone's gonna explain crypto to a whale and they're gonna curse humanity with a forbidden eldritch curse

Half the airplanes have feathers I think they didn't think about it at all.

Is he using people's anger to try to further hype up AI?
What an asshole.

a screen shot from Bloodborne, it says "The bell's resonance has beckoned Tom Brady" there is a character holding an axe, they have some kind of gramophone on their head idk

Thinking about this Bloodborne screen shot I took in 2015

This project resulted in a giant abandoned pit under one of the buildings downtown which is genuinely so funny. Rahm literally took Chicago's money and threw it down a hole.

kind of just overtly look at each other and say "let's talk about our feelings" can make the otherwise emotionally weighted conversations feel a little hamfisted. Sure, not everyone is aware of their own flaws, but it's hard to believe that when they talk about them all the time.

I think in the context of the show the characters are in this world where introspection is all they can really do between bouts of insanity, and there's no opportunity for normal interactions where their flaws might be more subtle or unaddressed. Even so, the frequency with which they 1/2

I used to get Bates but the last pair I got broke apart completely inside of 6 months. Zipper snapped off, stitches torn, velcro doesn't even work anymore.
If you do find a good alternative I'd want to know too

Honestly every episode being a vehicle for exploring each character's hidden trauma for 70% of the runtime gets exhausting.

They did give a journalism award to greyzone for some reason

weird juxtaposition where people in power and influence are saying absolutely heinous, deadly things without any restraint of conscience, and everyone reacting to it is having to bite their tongue and speak in euphemisms not to get banned or arrested or whatever

first of all, i would never let my enemies know that they have crushed my spirit

you have a duty to other people to not suck all of the fucking energy out of the room

PANEL 1: MATTIIE, sitting in a chair, slumped over in the dark. Behind her, you can see the green goblin mask from SPIDER-MAN (2002) but it has a phone instead of a mouth. MATTIE: It's really too bad I have this observation that I can't articulate great yet. But I can't stop thinking about it. MASK: HAVE YOU POSTED IT YET? EHEHEHEHE! PANEL 2: A dutch angle shot of the mask. MATTIE (VO): No…there's no way to say it without everyone yelling at me! MASK: POST IT! YOU'RE A GENIUS! PANEL 3: MATTIE, on her knees in front of the mask, crying. MATTIE: No! Never! MASK: POST IT! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN WRONG! PANEL 4: MATTIE, typing on thephone. TEXT: LATER MATTIE: Oh yeah. Everyone is mad at me. Bigtime. MASK: GET MAD BACK AT THEM

As said of old:

If giving a full explanation with citations directly addressing your questions is bad faith I'm inclined to think your version of good faith is just a chatbot saying "you're absolutely right" to everything you say.

If you want some truly batshit and dumb TV I suggest watching the 100 all the way through

Not only that, they elected him to the head of the police union after this fact became known.

Iran has bombed 3 Amazon Data Centers in the UAE and Bahrain.

I read someone the forward where she pre-empts reductions of what she's arguing to just being "regular capitalism" by calling it a position based on blindly dogmatic faith in Marxism and they got really angry.

I never finished reading it but it had a lot of compelling stuff to say about class divisions and what they actually mean in a modern day economy where persistent surveillance renders our very thoughts to a type of product that is extracted from us whether or not we produce anything.

She's got a book called "Capital is Dead, is this Something Worse?" And talks about vectors a whole lot

You been reading Mckenzie Wark by any chance?

This reminds me of hitchbot too much I fear he will be murdered

This is a weird one to take as someone that fundamentally despises the government and tech bros in equal measure.
The question about regulation in tech also tripped me up because I don't want IP law keeping technology and art inaccessible - that doesn't mean I want to abandon workplace safety!

This has my attention either way
