Living with AI in the environment is having whole art styles ruined for you because they were the first to be ingested when the engine started training. It's like an alien parasite crawled in the ear of a dear friend and started puppeting their body.

I think if you make ten million dollars crowdfunding a parody of a popular IP and you say that's proof that they're doing it wrong and hope they take notice well watch out you might get what you're after

Since all our old favorites seem to be going to Heresy, I'm gonna say they need to make a Heresy era Castraferrum Dreadnought. Probably MkIV. Really play into the archaic aesthetic. The metal Chaos dreadnought is an obvious inspiration, as are the resin Forge World ones.

Just found out that Musk's intended eventual Starship launch schedule outstrips the world's entire supply chain for liquid oxygen. We knew we were heading for a dystopic future, we just didn't know it was gonna be Spaceballs.

The US postal service does not need to be run as a self-sustaining business entity. In fact, we don't even necessarily want it to be. There's no benefit to running it that way except as an overture to privatization. Let's break down the why of that.

So Natalie Harp is editing herself into the photos that get posted on Trump's social media? There's some bunny-boiling overtones to that.

This doesn't involve Battlefleet Gothic and that feels unfair.
Grand Narrative 2026 – Introducing Ferrum’s Wake

Since its 2022 debut, the Grand Narrative has immersed players in an engaging spectacle unlike any other. This year, hundreds of hobbyists will meet in Atlanta once again for a new story-driven campaign, and today it’s time to unveil where they’ll be deploying their troops – the desolate forge world of Ferrum’s Wake.

At the Edge of the Maelstrom

Hey, trolling marginalized people until they blow their tops then calling for them to be cancelled for being uncivil is part of the right wing bag of tricks. Don't do it.

I don't think people appreciate how big he intends this thing to be.
Size comparison between the Washington Monument (555 ft tall), White House (70ft tall) and Trump's proposed triumphal arch (250ft tall at the raised torch of the angel statue on top).

The proposed arch would be almost four times as tall as the White House and roughly as wide. Each column would be as wide as the Washington Monument.

The Kennedy Center has gotten regular maintenance, repairs, and even renovations throughout its history. It was not simply left to rot. The idea that it's a dangerous structure didn't even get brought up until the courts put Trump's plans to renovate on hold because he wasn't involving Congress.

Okay so, a little bit of prologue. Aside from Superman, one of the classic characters that comic book writers seem to always want to do a dark take on is Captain Marvel. To be specific, Fawcett Captain Marvel, who predates any other.

So Warcraft III: Reforged is finally the game we were promised in 2020. It only took six years. The new campaign is kinda neat? Not essential, but tells a side-story in the prologue, and a bridge story to WoW in the main campaign.

Initially we were told that the repairs Trump wanted to do to the reflecting pool were a solved problem. That he didn't know why nobody had tried this before in all the prior repairs the pool has gotten, at the end of the day it's a pool and Trump knows pools. He knew just the right contractor.

Today I learned that quite a few examples of what we call wolves are separate branches of canid because nature apparently frequently goes "Hmm, there's something missing here, what to do? Eh, let's plunk a wolf in this slot." And naturally our primitive ancestors went "holy shit that's a wolf"

It's odd that these media personalities who have reputations as the realest realersons who ever realed all wind up testifying in court that they're playing characters that they didn't expect anyone to take seriously. Like that's weird, right? That we'd have a baker's dozen Andy Kaufmans?

I'll solve this for you. It's money. The secret vulnerability, the "glitch in the matrix" is spending money in quantities that boggle the mind, often paying it directly to voters. deadline.com/2026/09/musk...
St. Clair was involved with Musk during the time of the 2024 presidential election when Musk, as we all saw, threw his arms around Donald Trump and leveraged his vast wealth to help get Trump reelected. In the film’s most sensational claim, St. Clair says Musk told her he would exploit “an anomaly in the matrix” to affect the outcome of the race, citing his access to space lasers – an apparent reference to his network of Starlink satellites. Gibney lets it hang that Musk might have nefariously determined the winner of the presidency. I found this less than completely convincing, though I would love to see definitive proof.

The fact of the matter is they would've done this either way it went. They'd do what they're doing now, criticizing Mamdani for going to 9/11 memorial stuff, saying it's inappropriate because he's Muslim. Or they'd say Mamdani is skipping the memorial because he's Muslim and condemn him for that.

Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD) is a party that has been dogged since its early years with credible allegations that it is Neo-Nazi. Particularly, it emphasizes German nationalism to the point that numerous individuals in its leadership have praised the Third Reich.

We really are dealing with a president in the early stages of dementia, but his administration isn't going to 25th amendment him because nobody likes Vance and they figure they can get more of their agenda done leading Trump by the nose.

"Civilization and humanity will die out unless you invest right now in what my companies are not yet making, but will be making in the future, and I swear this time I'm not just siphoning money away from actual practical solutions" is something that shouldn't have as much traction as it does.

Okay so, I get that it might not have been all that crucial to the plot, and thus not a reason to call up J.K. Simmons, but I really feel like we NEED to have MCU Peter Parker working for J. Jonah Jameson at some point.

It is not unreasonable at all to ask for a Democratic Party candidate who will promise more than just fixing what the Republicans broke, and who will follow through. That's the ground floor. Bear in mind most Democrats don't even try to fix EVERYTHING the Republicans broke, because they benefit.
