Oh, you mean the same Hideo Kojima who watched Konami/Sony unceremoniously yank his work (P.T.) off consoles a few years ago with next to no notice?

Yeah, that tracks.

Right?? I saw the headline and clicked immediately hoping to see her credited; good on the Guardian for putting more eyes on this.

Color me skeptical in the EXTREME; I still remember after Trump’s 2016 election when that rat Glenn Beck cried crocodile tears and lamented his own role in the rise of right-wing nutjobbery, but you know he got back on that horse REAL quick when it turned out there was still money in it.

FYI for anyone in his district: Jeffries has a Democratic primary challenger this June — Vance Bostic, a working-class guy who as far as I can tell hasn’t had a lot of press, but if you live in Brooklyn and are a registered Democrat it’s probably worth checking him out.

I mostly use it to monitor individual feeds for chatty, talkradio-esque mp3 files that I then download and play from my personal devices. I’ve taken to calling them “podcasts” ;)

Oy. Sadly, I suspect anybody who has worked in dev knows the outlines of this story: Management promising deliverables with unrealistic timelines and functionality; team leads with such poor internal product knowledge they don’t recognize catastrophic issues until it’s too late; poorly-trained devs squeezed to push out unscalable kludgy insecure nightmares “for now” that just never get addressed; systems gradually becoming a Jenga tower of manual workarounds and undocumented slapdash quick fixes… Ugh. Nightmare fuel.

The longer I’m an adult the more terrifying it is to realize how many people there are in positions of power over people who are either complete morons or straight up mentally ill.

This “Shield of the Americas” thing that apparently the very NOT FIRED please don’t tell people i was fired-Noem is being shunted into is gonna be just another Greenland-esque bullshit attempt to push and bully every sovereign nation across two continents. And with her involved, everybody brace yourself because it’s gonna get stupider, more insulting, and more aggressive. Like yeah, better get this woman involved in international diplomacy because she and her boyfriend/side piece did such a fucking normal job of domestic affairs… ಠ_ಠ

I do hope this move results in more support for the IA/Wayback Machine and helps them to update some of their crawler tech — thanks to the rise of AI, some sites are effectively (thru captchas etc.) or actively (through straight-up greed [coughRedditcough]) blocked from being archived almost entirely, which is frustrating for legit archivists/contributors.

WHERE does this motherfucker get off?? What kind of lunatic still has the audacity to claim some right to head a Board of PEACE when 75% of the headlines I’ve read today said he’s been gasping, sweating and salivating in anticipation of getting to start yet another idiotic middle east war, this time with Iran, of all places…

Goddamn. And what mostly kills me about “tiny homes” is that, like… prefabs exist! Mobile homes exist! They’ve existed for a long time! But the cultural divide and associated stigma that has been cultivated by dipshits like David Brooks and his ilk has led a huge number of people to believe they’re too good for “trailer” living, so they opt to pay thru the nose for very little additional benefit.

libertarian city-states to “restore Western Civilization.”

These grasping neo-feudalist motherfuckers need a boot lodged somewhere dark and moist. And despite his delusions of being some kind of master of the universe, someone needs to break it to Thiel he ain’t the incarnation of Moore’s Ozymandias, despite the fact he clearly thinks dollars = ‘smart boy points’ that automatically confer genius on any topic his greasy, Zippy-the-Pinhead-esque noggin puts its mind to.

Funnier if it just funneled all requests to the GeoGuessr dude.

Oh look, it’s a picture of me at every family gathering.

OK sure “they’re real” but said in a tongue-in-cheek manner and no follow-up from the ‘journalist’, LOL… Right on cue, another nothingburger that will keep the Art-Bell-Coast-to-Coast crowd occupied for another few decades while the billionaire class continues to build their empires.

Heh…my only real memory of the film from viewing it back in the day is Liev Schreiber’s time-traveling character snickering at the word “erection”. Clearly I should rewatch it!

Terriers - excellent 2010 caper-style dramedy series starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, created by the screenwriter behind “Oceans Eleven”. Relatable & endearing characters, compelling arcs, razor-sharp writing, wrapped in a noire detective plot set in sunny San Diego. Aired for just 13 eps on FX back in the day, only a couple of years before streaming platforms really hit big (and where it likely would have found its audience) and I’ve mourned “what could have been” ever since. Can’t recommend it enough, despite the final ep having a bit of a “lady or the tiger” ending. I urge you to seek it out.

So messed up… And “own goal”-type errors (if that is genuinely what this turns out to be) like this are doubly infuriating in that they not only unnecessarily smear uninvolved civilians but also provide ammo to bad-faith actors who will now double down on their insistence the entire push for transparency is a “witch hunt”. The last thing the world needs is to give the flailing MAGA attack apparatus ammo. Ugh.
