after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

One should always strive to optimise for the funniest outcome whenever given the option... And I can't really imagine cementing the InfoWars fate in a more hilarious fashion than this. 👏👏👏
Hi friends!
I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet.
The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.

The only thing missing is a bunch of hobos hunkering over a make-shift campfire in a disused oil drum. That and a man in a leather jacket trying to stab you. The quintessential experience of the New York that once was.

I think it makes for more entertainment value to read @davidgerard.co.uk on it: davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2...
But despite having multiple vested (pun intended) interests on the topic/companies involved, I can't even find the will to care about this noise either.

My other favorite "things washing up on a beach" story is the time a container of synthesizers washed up in Cape Verde and local officials distributed them to schools and the students created *a whole new genre of music*

Saturday night, kids are sound asleep and I, the grass widower, am spending the night drinking bourbon and watching Bowie interviews. This Paxman one from the late 90's is one of my favourites, the man is, in Freudian terms, an even split between full-on id and super-ego.

Middle age is hauling down the tracks with me strapped in firmly. 6 months ago I was regularly running 10k in 49 minutes. Now, even after many weeks of abstaining from alcohol, nicotine and whilst sleeping and eating well, I just keep chasing the running ghost of my own past.

Strangely completely on point that these clowns and JPEG peddlers would end up causing, potentially, permanent damage to themselves. Sometimes the jokes really write themselves.
A bunch of people went to a bored ape event in Hong Kong and it used UV lights that burned their eyes, leaving some temporarily and maybe in a few cases permanently blind. To be clear this was an event specifically and only for people who own bored ape NFTs.

These Russians were like, let's put a nuclear reactor on a boat, send it to to the arctic in order to unload/load some contraband while being filmed. Also, for some unclear reason there's dubstep.

While this is super-cool, a major advantage of taking a virtual tour instead of the real deal is that you won't have to see people queueing to get in to the Giza branch of KFC upon exiting the pyramid.

A few days ago I got 'Ghetto at the center of the world' in the mail. An utterly fascinating read (although a few years old at this point) about the innards of probably the most globalised spot on the planet: Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong.
