It's very easy to clown on this, but like many of the silly renaming exec orders, this actually costs millions of dollars worth of federal manpower to execute on. So, thanks, party of fiscal responsibility.

Who says they “don’t make enough money”? Compared to what? You don’t need to grant the far right authoritarian party’s premise. You can write that they’re using arbitrary numbers based on no standards that should not be taken seriously, & you can just say that plainly instead of stenographizing

a universal feature of the game designer working on a long project is that their next game wells up inside of them until it is physically painful

Having written a TV show built on "deep dives on one bad rich guy per week" with one version 2008-2012 and another 2021-2025, I'll say that the OG evil rich guys were evil greedy assholes, and the new rich guys are mentally disordered perverts, and so do evil. And not the good kind of perverts.

Got to play this over the weekend. Turns out it's a lot easier to win when your main win condition is in the top 1/10th of your deck and you just draw it. Anyway it's ridiculous enough and spent enough time on it that it'll stick around: moxfield.com/decks/I_ucHy...

This summary lines up with everything I’ve seen. A) AI won’t be sentient anytime soon. B) Most apocalyptic scenarios centering on AI but not stupid/craven humans are BS. C) A system doesn’t need to be sentient to cause harm. Just autonomous and poorly supervised.

I was one of the 3 scriptwriters on this game and I left a few very "Chatty DM" marks into it. Get it, or there will be a RECKONING! (I put that Granny Weatherwax quote in the game, without the Creative Director noticing) ;) (I have no skin in the game anymore, left the company 3 years ago)

"The Transformers do not endorse the views of the President" okay, great, yeah, it's very normal that you had to say that. This is an ordinary world where things make sense. It's normal that I'd wake up to an official statement from cartoon robots denouncing the man who has the nuclear codes.

I saw this prequel comic yesterday and thought, "It's almost time again."

Healthcliff cartoon, he's glazing his ham car, and an old man at the doorway describes it perfectly saying "He's glazing the ham car" while another neighbor looks on. They all know it's almost Thursday.

If you're wondering why authors are getting so rabid here: First Anthropic stole our books. Then we got denied compensation because of US unjust copyright law and publishers failing to meet their contractual obligations. Then publishers and agents apparently claimed author shares. Now this.

There’s a species of shark called the ninja lanternshark. It glows in the dark, like all lantern sharks. It’s called ninja because the scientist who discovered it was explaining her discovery to family at Thanksgiving and then her young cousin shouted “ninjas are cool, call it the ninja shark!”
