New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

imagining a better world, a more equitable one, where sports participation also happens to be a true leisure activity rather than a crucial step toward college admission / financial stability. disentangling life outcomes from ability or proficiency at sport seems like it could only be a good thing?
This is similar to the phrase "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism," which has been perverted from its original meaning. It's NOT an excuse to buy whatever you want because "lol nothing matters." When people say this they are making an excuse for themselves to keep doing the shitty thing
Reminder for everyone - the CEO of ModRetro is Palmer Luckey, who is a war profiteer (1), AI weapons manufacturer (2), fascist surveillance state supporter (3), genocide enthusiast (4), and pedophilia supporter (5). Supporting ModRetro means you're supporting fascism. Sorry, that's just the truth.
The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.
Years in the making, I finally have a working prototype of my Camera GBD-M2 (previously shared as Game Boy Camera M2). A sequel to the Game Boy Camera M1, this new redesign uses original Game Boy Pocket & Game Boy Camera chips into a camera-like shape roughly the same size as the Ricoh GR III.
Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?! is a dumb game but I will support any game that allows me to commit vehicular mayhem to support muscular women in armor

is it difficult or even possible to open the emergency door at altitude?
Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

an update, this went really well thanks to my propensity to meticulously plan for and account for potential obstacles. of course, this fixation also breeds a certain level of apprehension to start the task, which must also be overcome and pushed through.

Someone took this footage from our digital archive earlier this week and reuploaded it YouTube without attribution. Wow where did that cool video come from!!! So we uploaded it ourselves at higher quality. C'mon, people
By popular demand: we clipped the public reveal of Banjo-Kazooie from Anthony Parisi's E3 1997 video! This footage (narrated by NOA's Ken Lobb) predates the release of the game by a whole year.

Williams/Bally/Midway is gone. WMS is no more. But one artifact remains: WMS donated $2 million to the Park District to name the new boathouse on the Chicago River, opposite from the factory. Designed by famous Chicago architect Jeanne Gang. studiogang.com/projects/wms...

‼️ ICE goons kidnapped a U.S. citizen in Passaic, NJ ‼️ Prior to this video being taken, he was confronting ICE for trying to kidnap his neighbors. Video from 8:25am on 7/23/26
This is peak both sides bullshit, because bike lane opponents don't care about "creating safe streets for everyone." They care about parking and being able to speed. And they draw false equivalences between drivers and bikers that car-brained pundits like Joan Venocchi lap up eagerly. Such garbage.
Another day, another 💩 anti-bike editorial, this time in the Globe @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social Absolutely fact-free Joan Vennochi screed that says Vision Zero is unpossible and bikers choose their own deaths 😡 LET THEM KNOW THIS IS TRASH letter@globe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/22/o...)
today in Rewarding Moronic Marathon Behavior: I accidentally went in to a Trios match on Dire Marsh Night with an empty kit but picked up a gun off a UESC and ultimately wiped 2/3rds of a squad and ex-filled with a decent [for a beginner] kit (+14 K wallet balance total).
