This is a grotesque framing, a poorly-constructed journalistic article, and just cartoonishly error-riddled. Valnet sucks so much dude.

"wow, everyone knew this already" is such a cynical, annoying and unfortunately extremely common response to tech news. assuming your privacy is being violated and proving that it is are two very different things, and the latter is the result of hard work and rigorous reporting

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Today in great scientific figures: the flight path of two midges, immediately preceding ❤️romance❤️
Hand-drawn figure almost certainly derived from painstaking examination of filmed midge flight. It took them 4 years to publish this. It is indistinguishable from an elaborate squiggle.

The Dig (LucasArts, 1995) is still of my fav space adventure game. Pixel art made it look outdated during the rise of 3D graphics, but now it makes it timeless.

I reached the end of Beast Breaker. I'm gonna miss this game. I wish there was a way to replay the final boss to beat it with every weapon for the achievements, or at least, that the post game enemies still count towards the relevant achievements, but other than that, I really loved this game!!

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. She wears a grey chiton and stubbornly strides to the left, dragging the heavy snake, which trails sullenly along behindMedusa with a single anaconda for hair. It is completely coiled around her, leaving only her angry yellow eyes visible, and a single hand lifted to flip off the worldMedusa with a single anaconda for hair. She wears a grey towel and is scrubbing the snake. A bar of soap sits in a small puddle off to the leftMedusa with a single anaconda for hair.

Mina from Mina the Hollower and Skipper from Beast Breaker standing side-by-side and facing down two giant enemies who are casting a shadow over them. A Tuskcrawler from Beast Breaker stands over Mina while the Nether Kraken from mina the Hollower stands over Skipper.

both mina and Skipper stand defiantly in the face of these creatures; Mina armed with her Nightstar Whip, and Skipper armed with their trust sword and shield.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

My memory of what it was like to browse the Xbox Live Indie Games store page in 2010
My artist’s impression (meaning not real, parody) of Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG) circa 2010. One is called "DEKIRU-KA" (Japanese for "Is it possible"), with colored geometric shapes, indicating it's maybe some kind of abstract puzzler. The other is called "Pirates vs Ninjas: Quest for the Epic Bacon" in a pixel font and with a pixelated picture of bacon.
