I’m going to have to check that book out.

It bugs me seeing the extent to which people’s worldviews are based solely on their favorite news networks.

It’s going to get a whole lot worse in November when Donald Trump starts handing out pardons like Halloween candy.

the real winner will likely be Apple and Macs

I’m sure they will find a way to enshittify in a equally intrusive manner.

You can get all the content they offer ad-free elsewhere.

So screw it.

Agreed.

100% block Meta everywhere it’s trying to extend its poisonous tentacles.

The bodycams only exist for performative reasons. They’re not there to actually help the cause of justice.

I’m about 1/3 of the way through Jedi Fallen Order.

It’s a lot of fun.

I’ve also been in VR a lot this week, watching The Faceless Lady in the creepy cabin on Meta Horizon, and last night I went to a Doja Cat concert in VR too.

Nothing crazy.

I’ll take myself out for barbecue somewhere here in KC over the weekend for sure, but I’m anti-war, so my feelings on this holiday are complex.

I’m not saying Imma pirate it.

Both in Iran and the US, it is indeed. Two different paths down the same mountain.

This is just silly on the part of Iran.

All they need to do is just let the health care system and poverty slaughter the people for them, like we do in America. It’s much more civilized.

Still playing Jedi Fallen Order.

It’s an excellent game. It’s suitably epic and I’m enjoying the heck out of it.

I’m going to pick it up later this year for sure.

It’s a fun game. I just found I like story mode more than playing a Dark Souls game in the Star Wars universe.

And the enshittification of everything marches onward.

Watching the rest of the world slowly turn on Israel makes my heart go all pitter patter.

Well done.

The bummer here is that, until the US stops protecting them (which is never, ever going to happen), it doesn’t matter a whole lot in the end.

But I’d still like to see the US cut Israel off.

I hope you’re right.

I had a similar feeling when the 2010 census showed a 28% increased in mixed-race families nationwide, and now a mere 14 years later we’re months away from becoming an openly fascist country. (I’d argue we’re already a closet fascist country)

A few hidden gems I’ve played:

Dungeons of the Endless: store.steampowered.com/…/Dungeon_of_the_ENDLESS/

Solasta Crown of the Magister: …steampowered.com/…/Solasta_Crown_of_the_Magister…

Tower of Time: store.steampowered.com/app/617480/Tower_of_Time/

Detroit: Become Human: store.steampowered.com/…/Detroit_Become_Human/

The Dark Pictures Anthology - Man of Medan: …steampowered.com/…/The_Dark_Pictures_Anthology_M…

I hope you like them all as much as I did.

This is a straight motherfucker move for sure.

Thing is, the people who can actually make change on affordable housing, Democrats and Republicans, also oppose it, and 99% of voters pull the lever for these two every election.

So, it seems to me that clutching your pearls when you see this headline is a little hypocritical.

Why do people hate people? - A question by 'curious kid' Daisy, age 9, Lake Oswego, Oregon (theconversation.com)

Understanding hate as an emotional response can help you recognize your feelings about something or someone and be curious about where those feelings are coming from. This awareness will give you time to gather more information and imagine the other person’s perspective....

I don’t hate anyone in particular.

I do, however, hate “everyone”.

There are just so many small ways that people are insufferable.

That dude has the most punchable face.

Very.

The major social media sites were programmed to feed people content that convinces them that their opinions are fully valid while also keeping them perpetually angry, all to keep their eyeballs glued to ads.

When content synthesized by AI gets more sophisticated, we won’t be able to tell the difference.

Ya love to see it.

If you’re not a fascist.

And bonus points to Israel for trotting out the old tried and true: “If you’re not with us you’re with the terrorists” bullshit.

I would. These banks are and have always been highly corrupt, which will happen when you aren’t properly regulated. There’s just no reason not to gamble with people’s money (off the books of course) since Uncle Sam will pay you back the losses out of public money.

Imagine you’re planning a big party and you’ve set a budget for how much you can spend on food, decorations, and entertainment. To stick to your budget, you decide not to include the cost of some items, like extra snacks and drinks, in your official party budget. Instead, you plan to buy these items using separate money that you haven’t counted in your main budget.

In this analogy, your official party budget is like a bank’s balance sheet, which shows all the assets and liabilities they officially recognize. The extra snacks and drinks are like off-balance sheet assets—they’re costs and commitments that exist but aren’t included in the main budget (or balance sheet) that everyone sees. Just like how not accounting for these extra items might make your party budget look more manageable, keeping assets off the balance sheet can make a bank’s financial health appear better than it actually is, potentially hiding risks or liabilities.
