This marathon from @millennialmoron.bsky.social is one of the best pieces of investigative journalism I have seen about a Canadian institution in years. Seriously everyone who's ever paid into the CPP should watch it right to the end. #cndpoli #canada #LPC #CPC

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

More romance media should include scenes where the couple are the only sane people in the room. The calming balm of staring at your partner wordlessly and knowing how each other is internally reacting to something stupid that was said. The foreplay to talking mad shit in the car ride home 😚👌

Amid everything else the real struggle is always a class struggle, and a struggle for the equality of opportunity: the chance to get a good job, own a home, raise a family if you want. The modern smear of oligarchy, and the austerity-related decline of institutions, betrays that. So you get this.

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

Step 1: Elon takes over Twitter, unbans and amplifies the worst white nationalist posters, methodically turns it into a right wing echo chamber. Step 2: Users who aren’t white nationalists or MAGA extremists leave for Bluesky en masse. Step 3: op-ed columnists fret, “is Bluesky an echo chamber?”

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

In my #DragonAge playthrough Emmerich announced he had started seeing Spite, and asked my Rook for help picking out a romantic spot for a date. He asked this with Lucanis in the room. I was tres confused. Strife. He was dating Strife. This made much more sense. #DragonAgeVeilguard

The current crop of LLMs are not quite a fad, but they are not going to achieve actual General AI. They quite simply can't think. They can be a very useful tool, but most of what they'll do is fill the internet with garbage for several more years.

I think I'm about 6 hours away from finishing #DragonAgeTheVeilguard and I have been absolutely loving it. Is the game perfect? No. But the art direction, combat, and level mechanics are all top notch and make every second a joy. I have many thoughts on the writing, but the plot is very enjoyable!
