Some of us are old to remember how Atari shovelware nearly killed the home videogame industry in the cradle. The flood of AI slop games feels not only familiar, but like the same bullshit on digital steroids. And it's driven by the same brand of opportunistic parasite.

listen up democrats: we did not vote for you for y'all to find common ground and reach across the aisle. we voted for you to crush our enemies, to see them driven before us, to hear the lamentations of their women
Josh Turek says he didn't vote for a Democratic ticket, and instead voted republican for several races. And yet trans people are vilified for doing the same to him?

I can no longer recommend people use Proton products. This is irresponsible behavior from a company that touts security and privacy as selling points. There will be a security breach due to this intentional carelessness. I want to believe this is false; proton was a good company. Oh well...

"The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." --The Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously ratified by Congress on June 7, 1797
Do not vote for Josh Turek, Marcy Kaptur, Kathy Castor, or Henry Cuellar.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2w agoThe elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.
What the fuck bluesky? Why are you tagging that as intolerant? Management's bigotry is showing through again.

Okay so my mind was blown. Someone created a VRchat world that emulates a whole computer in a GPU shader.
“The algorithm is great at finding me new music in the limited style I listen to,” he writes. “But it is really bad at showing me something new and different. My listening has become homogeneous, even though I can pick any album ever created.” ——— Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before…

People are forgetting that historically the wealthy have always outsourced the raising of their children. AI here is simply replacing the personal assistants, nannies, etc. that used to do all this for them. "Rich people are weird" -- Katamari Damacy

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

"Is it true, Grandpa Joe, as proven by the photograph presented now to the jury, that you and Mr. William Wonka *conspired* to place the Wonka company, then suffering under several serious legal actions, into the hands of young Charles M. Bucket as a so called 'fall man'?"

Jackie Herrud has voted in Tennessee her whole life but said she had never had an experience like the one she had last week while voting early. “I kept punching for the Democrat, Jerri Green, and it kept punching back to Marsha Blackburn,” Herrud said. www.wsmv.com/2026/10/20/e...
