Oh, I am getting the popcorn out for this.
Troops to Chicago seems like a strong bet, though obviously the smart money is, as ever, on the field.

Hell of a page.
Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.

I don’t normally ask to hear from the president but it’d be nice to see if he can still complete a sentence
Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
🌱 Will draw *anything* for World of Warcraft 12-month subscriptions! Me and wife's old accounts are GONE FOREVER, so we're starting completely fresh on Argent Dawn EU. Would anyone like to help us out? (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)
I was just thinking about this earlier today. It's one thing to tell people to suck it up and get on board in September of 2028. It's quite another thing to tell people the same thing in August of 2025. Primaries matter, folks!
*nervously checks* It's the mark of a refined person, a distinguished gentleman and elegant lady.
I'd noticed that shift, but since I was also aging at a 1-to-1 ratio with objective time, I just rolled with it.
If the fact that you don't see a lot about "Genocide Don" on social media makes you think that U.S. policy toward I/P has improved, you would be very mistaken www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/08/trum...

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation
The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. “We didn’t know” “Nobody told us” “He promised he wouldn’t…” This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.

Steiner scout lance looking very flash.
Any sensible person would. The Flashman is fantastic. It should be written up as the first of a new generation of 'mech design.
I am _completely_ sold on the variable-geometry wing sweeping _forward_ from the delta combined with the thrust vectoring.
I should really try this on the Steamdeck.
If you keep room after room after room of boxes of junk, they'll call an intervention and make exploitative TV shows about you. If you fill your house floor-to-ceiling with animals, they'll arrest you. But if you grab every single dollar you can and never let it go, they'll fall down in worship.
Bunlith yeag'd too close to the sun.
Preach it! I don't have that sector of background, but they've got a place for me in game dev... that I refuse to take at the prices they offer. It's the business application programmer's life for me, yo ho ho!
Announcing on the street, "Hey, I need a syringe to inject this insulin, anybody got a spare?" and using the first one some rando hands you.

The bruising on the hands really is pretty suspicious. The theory in my house is Keter-class blood thinners.
you misspelled "I will be holding public hearings immediately on RFK Jr.'s mismanagement of HHS, and even though we do not have the power of the majority, these hearings will be televised live and Republicans are welcome to join if they care about Americans' health even a tiny bit"
Follow Casey's Steam curator page! If not for Casey, I probably wouldn't have ever really tried to like Dark Souls and then I wouldn't have tried Elden Ring and all that would have been a terrible loss for me! Listen to the wise words of Casey the Slothmom!
Fair, fair.
The problem is that most men can't find it.

I think if The News drops in the middle of Ursula's parade, she should immediately produce a guitar and go into a fully amplified riff of astonishing awesomeness, leading the crowd into a spontaneous bitchin' party.
Love watching pilot program after pilot program determine over and over and over that UBI is an unambiguous positive that does not ruin economies or neighborhoods or lives and everyone nods and goes "wow, cool, interesting" and then does fucking nothing until the next pilot program 15 years later

'trap', in other contexts, is usually considered rude.
In this, it is not related to "trap" specials such as Rocket Raccoon's in MvC3 and other examples.
Giving the opponent enough time to come out of block-lock and start an attack, but not enough time for the attack's hitbox to become active. It remains safe (their attack doesn't come out fast enough), but if they're reckless, they'll be out of block and vulnerable to your trap's attack.

There comes a point at which one is no longer in a mutually antagonistic neighbor relationship and instead are simply an old married couple.
You walk away from the fire hydrant spewing water for a few hours and come back expecting somehow that it would have stopped. But of course it hasn’t. It’s still spewing. That’s the current Trump-driven news cycle.
18) You'll never be able to justify alcohol being legal, but coke and heroin being illegal, to me in a way that's remotely coherent. We should legalize and legislate controls for all potentially dangerous recreational substances. They do more harm illegal than they would if they were legal.
15) We should improve society by responding to every declaration of "Cringe!" with "Shut up, coward."
On the one hand, sure, kids can play 40k and lots of kids are mature enough for the mature themes in 40k. That said, I wouldn't hand a 10 year old a copy of Realms of Chaos.
What people think they 80s were like versus what the 80s was actually like.
40k was kinda aggressively never for kids?
It’s really important to remember that Republicans are cruel and mean and ruthless as any bully, but also like any bully they are a bunch of piss-pants cowards who run crying to their favorite podcasts when they get mean looks in restaurants.
"No, I'm killing BOYS."
There is an awful lot of bondage in The Incredibles, but it's a super-hero movie with strong Golden Age influences, so that's pretty much just Parr for the course.

LLMs are a static collection of data points accessed by a fairly simple system. All they are is very deep autocomplete. There's less going on within an LLM than you think there is.
Yes? I mean... sure. It's not hard. LLMs, as we understand them, as a technical structure that is well within human comprehension, cannot become, will never be, do not have the potential to be, self-aware at any level, even one that might be ascribed to an ant.
I've read that semicolons are also a sign of AI writing; I will die before I surrender mine.

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the digital future that Sam Altman ( or Elon, or Andreessen, etc) predicts fails to materialize, he doesn’t have to give the money back.
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Actually no? Companies can't hide their speech behind a EULA and claim that it's not actionable because you agreed to the EULA? Not minimally because claims like fraud and defamation can't hide behind EULAs?
Please support the people doing the original research/reporting/events big streamers and YouTubers are so fond of reacting to/ripping off.

Don’t know who made this but thank you
an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

Memetically-local, this is going to make Games Workshop (Warhammer) games in the US so very happy.
No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow" We're burnt out because we're paid dirt so we need day jobs to survive
An long as we depend on brands and advertising to fund our information infrastructure, and as long as we depend on centralized, for-profit systems to deliver that information, the portals for that info will be subtle financial sadists waiting with machine patience to remind you that a brand exists.
This is a free campaign ad for Trump. It tells Americans that the NewDems caucus supports Trump’s general ideas, and says Trump is not a fascist and Republicans are normal and worth working with (“bipartisan”.) This is electoral poison. It hurts the D brand and so every Dem, me and you included.
My contribution to the genre.

Eddie Riggs, Dethklok, and Ronnie James Dio, guided by Ozzy Osborne from beyond the grave, band together against a threat no one of them can defeat alone: Cthülhü!
I am _here_ for Heavy Metal Cthulhu Banishers. That sounds absolutely brütal!
I just do not understand the general reaction to Trump by Democrats. Pritzker throws one punch and he's clearly freaked out. Standing up to bullies has been a thing for thousands of years for a reason. It works. And yet! Democrats remain in a defensive crouch.
It’s honestly kind of impressive how MAGA guys bleat about traditional masculinity but then embody none of the actual virtues (courage, discipline, honesty in the face of difficulty, self-control, restraint) that make up traditional Western masculinity.
I do not want the human equivalent of a fear-biter in my vicinity with a deadly weapon.

Damn. It was doing such a good job of selling a pass at the demo to me, too.
Oh, wow, I didn't know those devs were still doing... that thing they do together. That's pretty cool, definitely wishlisted.
