Is this the straw that will break the back of the $1.50 hot dog and drink???

Duck Detective. Charming game, but quite short.

Roku Jellyfin app has been pretty good lately, few complaints now!

I liked the first two (about Cordelia) better than the Miles books in some ways. He’s just a kid, she’s more interesting in a lot of ways.

That said, I think the best bit of the whole series is the Miles-focused novella The Mountains of Mourning.

Hot.

This seems fine, so long as the journos remember how to pull up stakes once a platform decays. I hope they learn a lesson about the importance of owning your own audience, follower lists, etc.

The episode has a point, all this nuclear talk is a fig leaf for really excessive and probably pointless energy consumption. So-called AI feels like a Ponzi scheme in more ways than one.

She ain’t Gainan, and she lost touch years ago. She spent a View episode with then-mayor DeBlasio whining about bike lanes in Manhattan, when more than half the city can’t even own a car and she was being driven into the city for tapings. No sympathy.

Nazis feel emboldened to march in multiple cities this year:

Just a reminder, the “major questions doctrine” is bullshit, used by the partisan conservatives to ignore the plain text of a statute whenever they want to engineer an outcome. Don’t pretend that this is anything less than make-believe judicial bullshit.

Thanks, Biden!

I just want to tip my hat to Elizabeth Lopatto’s writing in this piece. I miss following her on twitter and had forgotten how spicy and on-target she can be. Good stuff.

Truly a superb photo, it jumped out at me even before I clicked through and read the description. Thanks!

Just stop building in Phoenix already. We’re just creating the next round of climate refugees.

The current Indian government has prosecuted or detained employees of foreign companies in the past for actions taken by the company. There is a real risk here.

I do think the Indian government has a point if you read the lawsuit. This is a ongoing lawsuit and the page taken down had info on it and a discussion page where people were talking about the ongoing lawsuit. The lawsuit says that this “…Complicates and compounds the issue at hand.”

Hard disagree. Ongoing lawsuits often have complicated issues, but are nonetheless topics of public concern. It’s sometimes inconvenient for governments and large corporations to have the public aware of the lawsuit and the underlying facts and issues, but that’s no reason to impose a gag order.

Frankly, whenever I hear a court give vague rationales like “complicates the issues,” I assume they judge just doesn’t like the criticism. That’s what it sounds like here.

I know that the state is trying to manufacture standing so it can bring the claim, but this is a deeply cynical and unethical argument that I would be embarrassed to make.

Back atcha, buddy, you know this sub removes posts that don’t use the article title? Take it up with the title editor, not me.

Just two seats why? Has this so-called genius ever taken a cab with friends ever?
