"Take our last remaining high-trust brand name product and nuke it from orbit" getting scarily literal here.
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...
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
It's darkly depressing that the entire GOP -- from the White House to Congress to the Supreme Court -- insists that the president and his aides cannot be held accountable for all the very clear crimes that they clearly committed, but they think Dr. Fauci should hang for alleged mishandling of COVID.
I drew a buncha chits for OD&D monsters..... something about CLASSIC WARGAME HEX AND CHIT makes my brain tingle. may make more..... 🤔

Bluesky knew the strait of Hormuz, Graham Platner, and AIPAC democrats were all cooked months before the experts did. Meanwhile Twitter was convinced Spencer Pratt would win and the Odyssey would bomb. Which site is the not-real-life echo chamber again?
extremely funny to me that analysts whose entire job is to think about these possibilities are only now catching up to Bluesky Consensus
Played two rounds of Battle Decimum 533AD, first phase. Lost both times, 5-4 and 5-1. #wargame #consim #CommandandColors @gmtgames.bsky.social
more ridiculous bs from this guy. just never stops.
Donald Trump imposes 50% tax on American businesses that buy from Canadian suppliers as retaliation for wildfire smoke

I put off making a 2nd video about Graham Platner since my 1st in Nov 2025, as that one stayed relevant: he's an embarrassing liar who should've been jettisoned immediately. Many progressive commentators disagreed, and now they've bullied a rape victim into going public skepchick.org/2026/07/the-...
The Leftists who Mocked Graham Platner’s Victims
Transcript: Okay, I’m gonna open up this video with a content warning: I’m going to talk about Graham Platner. Oh, and sexual assault. And murder. And other bad stuff. I’ve only made one other vide…

We’ve entered the period of the evening when I can’t tell whether the “it’s all over now” vagueposts are about Platner, the USMNT or McConnell.
Yesterday at #KingCon I ran Wings of Glory. A guy from NB was visiting the area specifically for the convention and was eager to play the game. #boardgames #wargames #AresGames
I don't think Platner is a plant. he's just your run-of-the-mill misogynistic, racist leftish dudebro.
shout out to the guy who spent an afternoon on here screaming at me for thinking the tattoo was bad
Well I for one am *SHOCKED* that the guy running exclusively on his ability to appeal to "white working class"-cosplay podcast dudes who don't like "HR ladies" and 'left but not LIBS!!!' but kinda dig that whole Red State "aesthetic" would be accused of such a thing... ...said nobody ever 🤷♂️

My TTRPG adventure "the Dream Shrine" has an official soundtrack by Arman Bohn, composed mostly on synthesizers that he built himself. This rules. I wish every DnD adventure had an ambient music soundtrack. distropolis.bandcamp.com/album/dream-... @skullfungus.bsky.social
Sony makes it official. No more physical Playstation games as of 2028. This is, no exaggeration, likely to be the single most anti-consumer, choice-limiting, destructive-to-the-medium decision in the entire history of videogames. A tragedy bordering on a crime. kotaku.com/sony-ending-...
Sony Ending All Physical PlayStation Game Discs Starting In 2028
The move could be a death blow for physical games

Been using Organic Maps on the phone. Neat alternative to Google Maps. Anyone else have it?
I sometimes wonder what it would take to dislodge the core American myth (capitalist myth, I suppose) that "businesspeople" are uniquely pragmatic or sensible.
NEW: Workers say their bosses are becoming obsessed with AI and essentially turning the entire workplace into an exercise in AI psychosis -- making absurd pivots, communicating only in AI slop, and even asking ChatGPT who to fire futurism.com/artificial-i...
