“No warrants are shown, as far as we can tell there’s no legal ground for them to come onto private property. It seems like they’re pushing through the construction process quickly and will deal with the law later,” said Rachel, a land defender who spoke with UR about the raids.

however the election shakes out, a minor lesson of 2026 is that maine is basically an alien planet where everyone is a grumpy old salt retiree at birth and we should consider giving them to canada as an apology and goodwill gesture for what we did to the Expos

one game design opinion i hold is i think global stats like this should almost never matter and designers and communities should attempt to minimise it wherever possible. its like measuring nba players by their pickup games. you want to incentivise players to challenge themselves and lose more

We spent the last 25 years moving every part of our lives (bills, romance, media, medical) over to various apps, online portals, software, and sites. And now, tech is creating AI tools that will let people easily modify, manipulate, and hack all of that stuff faster than ever before. Seems bad!

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!
