Holy shit. Alice Huang alone sent $12bn of chips to China. Jensen did more than cheat on his wife (and also his mistress), this is a massive illegal smuggling ring with direct financial and carnal benefits for NVIDIA’s CEO
WSJ: Huang’s affair “didn’t just blow up his career. They now threaten to implode the entire lucrative ecosystem he built in Asia to get China the chips it needed.” @wsj.com $NVDA www.wsj.com/tech/jensen-...
This is what a lot of people don't seem to realise about Rowling. It's not just mean comments on Twitter. It's not even just donations to regressive political parties. She *actively bankrolls* the entire transphobic lobby in the UK. Laws have been changed by her. She is monstrous.
If you need to give people a reason not to support Harry Potter anymore, JK Rowling is actively stripping queer spaces away from vulnerable students who need them. All of the money from her books goes to this.
This sucks so much. There are articles about it, and PSA is like "Wow, we are preserving this special lost media experience," by sticking it in a slab and not dumping the data. All they care about is preserving the value of investments. This is the antithesis of video game preservation!!!!
Just found out that the person who discovered a fully functional cartridge containing the exclusive 2005 PokePark Fishing Rally download play minigame decided to preserve it... in a PSA grading slab.
Back in the day, $80 would get you a copy of Ultima with some kind of cloth map and a trinket that connected to the lore of the game, as well as an instruction manual that also doubled as a lore bible. This is a $100 game. It's an empty case with a code you can steal with a flashlight.
They printed it on the cover insert you have gotta be kidding me
Just to be clear: this is Claude. This smog bank in Mississippi, right here. This is what Claude does. This is what you're doing.
Cool new research finds a satellite can see the air pollution from a data center’s onsite gas turbines. Emissions at the Colossus 2 power plant in Southaven, MS averaged about 16 times what its permit implies.
Too many characters fo BSKY but seriously I'm sick of the jokes here.
Kinda dislike the growing framing that Jensen was a based fuck machine. Like no dude, he's literally a key architect of Enshittification.
Honestly, Hugh and Judy Neutron were some of the best parents when it came to kids' shows and this is a hill I'm more than willing to perish on.
YEAH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Conservation WORKS it just takes a long time and isn't sexy and is a ton of really hard work that often goes unnoticed and unthanked BUT IT WORKS.
I've talked before about how "save the whales" was something people sneered at in its day but we really did it. We saved the whales. Look at it. They'll be fully recovered in the next 5 years
If you want a hint at just how silly Baten Kaitos can be between the grimdark bits, keep in mind there's a mandatory dungeon in between plot beats on Mira, the continent that looks like something out of an impressionist's wet dreams, called fucking DETOURNE that's based on Tower of Druaga.
So we need to join the ICC immediately upon Trump leaving office. Immediately. We need to revoke the American Service-Members' Protection Act and we need to join the rest of the fucking world.
“When Trump ordered our military to sink cartel boats in the Caribbean, we were told that they were violating international law. “The founding chief prosecutor of the fake and illegitimate International Criminal Court even accused us of crimes against humanity.”
the key here is that he and other people like him see our existence as "politics", which is a game of debate and compromise
And don't worry, he's already enjoy-the-camps posting, because they all get there eventually.
While I enjoy the aesthetic of the For'ard Cabins more, the Baldesion Annex is still my favorite Inn in FFXIV, simply because it's the only Inn with unique music and it sounds a lot better than the "default" Inn theme.
This is GENUINELY how I've always interpreted the phrase personally, lmfao.

BREAKING: The New York City Council just approved a ban on surveillance pricing. The measure passed 44-5, and Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the bill. Companies will no longer be able to charge different prices based on algorithms or New Yorkers’ personal data.
This sounds like something an outage cause related to 60,000 job cuts would say—
bro that's diabolical it's almost like the whole thing was fake
Adding Keeper of the Lake to my short list of "Content I'll Just Straight-Up Leave if I Get it in Duty Roulette."
We should make it a law that anytime some movie director makes another quote-unquote "werewolf" that's just a monkey with sharp teeth and pointed ears, they're immediately fired out of a cannon and jettisoned into the sun.
