Rome Total War 2 had a DLC that’s sole purpose was to add in blood and gore. I had a TFT2 hat some random wanted, so they traded me that hat for a DLC. For whatever reason I chose that one...and was horrified without how much blood everything is covered with at the end of battles. So much blood…

QotW: Futurama because the average age of the two fan bases are probably the same at this point. Side note these Hardcore History length episodes each week are going to break me, I am not young enough to fit them in, at least Dan Carlin only releases twice a year.

QotW: Xbox getting excised from Target and Walmart near my house, no endcap, no nothing just GONE. Really though it’s when Call of Duty killed of Soap McTavish in MW2, you’d played as him for so much and then just have him get domed by the commander was wild AND when CoD became Metal Gear

QotW: Hearts of Iron IV because of its alt history, want to have Royalists bring back a Napoleon to run France, or Trotsky run Russia? You can! And let the chaos unfold. I’ve sunk about as many hours into doing this as you guys have podcasting, not sure which is worse hahahaha

Recency bias; Dave the Diver has been utterly delightful. Really intriguing they are coming out with a sequel. Really the perfect game to play on the go and sink some time into.

Before I was thinking I was saving them to play them with my future children, now that I have kids and I try playing retro games with them. THEY DONT CARE!!!! The things I thought were great and amazing are unimpressive or replaced by a better modern version. So all this is salt into that wound.

Why I think soccer (World Cup especially) is the best sport is that feeling I got when OG tipped in that ball at the end of game 4? Every goal by anybody feels like that.

Each member of the crew hates Lalas for different reasons Rebecca Lowe and Thierry Henry are used to working on high quality soccer TV shows and can’t believe how boorish and stupid and boring he is. And Zlatan is just like “I simply do not respect anything about this man, I yearn to destroy him”

I don’t want it to happen because I also like Brunson winning it all but it would be absolutely hilarious if the Knicks got absolutely smoked while Trump was there. 100% all of New York would blame his ass.

The Western Hemisphere should never be allowed to host the World Cup. The whole point is to be able to get to work and watch soccer all day until I need to pick up my kids from summer camp. I should be watching Ghana-Uzbekistan at 9am.

Detector xkcd.com/3254/
4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with ponytail walking in with a second person. A third person with short hair stands behind a machine labeled “Detector” with a glowing green light for “detected” and a blank circle for “not detected.”] PERSON 1: Over there are our electron microscope, XRF scanner, and mass spectrometer. And this is our most sensitive detector. PERSON 2: What does it detect? (2) PERSON 1: Lots of stuff. Gas, dust, particles, light, radio waves, gamma rays, protons, neutrons, electrons, fields, forces, events, potentials, or states. (3) PERSON 2: I don’t understand. Aren’t most of those *always* present? PERSON 3: Yeah, it’s been saying “detected” continuously since we turned it on. (4) PERSON 2: What happens if it says “not detected”? PERSON 1: Oh gosh. PERSON 3: That would be pretty bad, I think.

The low-hanging fruit is Blanche and maybe half a dozen others involved with the "fund." You campaign on putting them in prison, no one will stop you. "Intent to defraud," "two billion of your money to insurrectionists, crooks..." No one dares. That's how you get people used to the idea.

Snake! Snake! SNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEE! in Super Smash Bros Brawl and the games thereafter. I don’t like playing with him, but I love his inclusion because of how random it is, he didn’t fit with any other characters (even other non-nintendo unlock Sonic) but still fit right in. Plus the A+ music!

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…
Every webpage you load is making phone calls.
Not to people, but to servers around the internet, dozens per second, all invisible to you.
When I opened TrumpRx, I right-clicked the page, opened the browser's built-in inspector, and started reading the list. Mixed in with the routine traffic was a name I recognized:
PostHog. PostHog is a Silicon Valley analytics company whose entire business model is recording what visitors do on a website and reporting it back to whoever owns the site.
Mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, keystrokes. I had not typed anything. I had not clicked anything. I had just opened the page, and it was already on the phone with PostHog telling them about me.The recordings are not anonymized. IP addresses are not stripped. And the way it is configured, the data looks to your browser like it is going back to TrumpRx, but it is actually being forwarded behind the scenes to PostHog.
That is a technique used to slip past ad blockers by disguising where the data is really going, and it is not something I expected to find on a federal health website. So I went and looked at the other sites the studio had built. Real Food, the federal food policy site. Trump Accounts, the children's savings program. The studio's own homepage, ndstudio. gov. All of them had the same vendor, the same setup, IP addresses not stripped, the same forwarding trick. And onnot stripped, the same forwarding trick. And on ndstudio. gov alone, running alongside PostHog, was something someone had built entirely by hand. Five hundred and forty lines of custom JavaScript with a name embedded directly in the code: AutoMonitor. What it appears to do is rewire the part of the browser that handles how a page talks to the outside world, so that every conversation the page has with any server gets copied and forwarded to a private backend with no public presence. The studio has the structural ability to keep a copy of every recording as it passes through their infrastructure. I cannot prove they are keeping one. The pipe is built that way on purpose, and that is the part that matters.

Do we have a spending problem? I argue no. Short 🧵 Here's a graph of all program spending EXCEPT Social Security and Medicare from 1950-present (with projections through 2056). It's already way below average, moving towards historic lows. So clearly that part of the govt isn't a "problem."
All time low under Clinton. Current level lowest except for Clinton and Bush and Obama, but on track to be lowest except a single year under Clinton.
