I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Fellow journos covering "AI": Please don't do their PR for them! "Virtual employees" is a harmful anthropomorphism in that it (a) is false; (b) confuses readers about the emerging technology and inaccurately lends human attributes like agency, accountability, etc.; and (c) harms humans in real jobs.

Musk versus Loomer fight is classic. The ruler’s scheming eunuch is involved in a power struggle with his concubine while he blissfully ignores his responsibilities in his palatial Southern estate. Been done a billion times from Byzantium to Beijing.

the person giving this rating saw “game that has poker cards” and based it purely on that
I agree with @localthunk.bsky.social. Rating Balatro as an 18+ game is as unserious as it is hypocritical, and how we use ratings and regulations to safeguard children often makes no sense. My latest at @crossplayblog.bsky.social: patrickklepek.substack.com/p/is-balatro...
Balatro’s 18+ Rating Underscores Gaming’s Hypocritical “Protecting” Children Rhetoric
Loot boxes pass through regulatory and rating scrutiny without batting an eye, but a card game? My word!

The clock is ticking. Trump's return to power is imminent. A dangerous, maniacal fascist will be in control once again. We must shore up our defense and safeguard our democracy. That's why I'm proud to announce my new bill to make the bald eagle our national bird.

same but moved to the UK
After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.
