the Army spent $500 million building a factory for 155mm shells in Mesquite, Texas. It got shut down last year without producing a single usable thing.

This wild story is once again proof that anyone who thinks "making people use their 'real names' online will solve internet abuse forever" has never actually examined the behavior of people using their "real names" online

Yeah well I grew up in a mushroom village, so I’m not really used to how you do things. We used big giant mushrooms as our houses. We used bioluminescent mushrooms as lamps. And we didn’t try to change the plan last second if the other person already made reservations I guess that’s normal here
if your government software looks like this, it will never break, never need replacement, and will work on every computer since we landed on the moon

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.
s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 15h agoJKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.
oh god. Retailers say online age-verification laws are driving up sales in the DVD market. avn.com/news/novelty...

While there are parallels between Mighty No 9 and Daikatana, to claim Inafune and Romero are similar is just false. Romero is factually a generational creative genius.

This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.
One thing that makes me feel insane is that the primary use of AI is to mass produce the pornography that they are trying to make it illegal for humans to make. But also, the AI isn't even good at it. None of it is hot!

Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 16h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
Enjoyed this Esquire feature on the Churchwell brothers. IMO, they are among the last elegantly dressed men in the United States. Notably, neither are "fashion influencers." They are both distinguished cardiologists with great taste and a lifetime relationship with the same tailor.
