@restofworld.org I didn't really know who else to report this to but the US Federal Register website is apparently being blocked from open public access, supposedly due to "aggressive automatic scraping".

The captcha for regular users doesn't seem to work.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

It just keeps getting worse. Do these idiots have genuinely zero editorial oversight? I thought the ET was supposed to be a reliable paper?

People on the internet: I'm concerned about how good and therefore how potentially misleading generative AI images are becoming.

Friends and I were discussing why Google hasn't made original TV shows yet (unlike Apple and Amazon) and I realised that it might be because Google would make two different shows called Weird Things and Stranger Stuff, release them at the same time with terrible marketing, and then cancel both.

Slow walked on a footpath as a gentle breeze swished up leaves around me while listening to the Red Dead theme and I feel rejuvenated.

Shoutout to my scam caller. He only ever calls me in the mornings when my jobless ass has nothing to do. He never disturbs me in the evenings when I'm in the gym.

Randomly felt like giving a shoutout to the person who made the exit music for the new Hitman games. You cooked. Amazing work. The only reason that soundtrack isn't out officially is because people are not ready to reckon with the fact that Jesper Kyd might have been bested.

Been playing a lot of Metaphor recently and dear god can these people stop talking over each other in the middle of a fight

My Adventures With Superman is just peak. Nothing else by DC in recent years comes close. The new BTAS don't got shit over this. I pray this show gets the praise and attention it deserves.

Just watched The Substance, and man I gotta say that final act is the finest adaptation of a Resident Evil endgame boss ever put to film.

I wanna shout out the team at @bsky.app for developing UI that understands comedic timing.
