I cannot live without my Momo. If it's his time, I understand, but if he's got a good chance like he has, I cannot give up. 🥺

This piece is really videogames focused, which I can't blame This Week in Videogames for being, but it makes a compelling argument that a consumer-grade RAM shortage that lasts months if not years seems very likely and will be bad for anyone who does *anything* on a computer.

Also I know exactly who needs to hear this but when Paul Zaloom was not playing Beakman he was making radical queer art in which he opposed the George W. Bush administration and Iraq War with puppets
I don't know who needs to hear this, but all four seasons of Beakman's World are on Tubi.

One of the best science shows for kids ever produced and one that definitely should be mentioned alongside Mr. Wizard, 3-2-1 Contact, and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Beakman's World

"You really made a 4 hour video?"

No, I wrote a 7 hour video, then cut it down, and if you donate to our fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, you will receive access to exclusive bonus content as a thank you!

An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

While unsubstantiated, it is said that Nym was home to a proud lineage of warrior-culinarians who employed an array of stabbing techniques using naught but their kitchen implements. This can be seen with the multitude of tonberries who wield knives.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Thank you for reminding me of my annual warning.

Don't support. But also don't harass kettle workers. They're mostly clueless, seeing it as a low-impact way to volunteer. You achieve nothing by stressing them out. Just keep your distance.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
