Crazy to know that Cleopatra was born closer to the creation of Halo: Combat Evolved than to the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Most standups are bad because they're not used as a quick collaboration tool, they're used as a demonstration to prove you're working, and then the least productive people talk the most because they're the most desperate to prove they're working.

Yeah, but what if someone also set a precedent that if you're the victim of an admittedly awful terror attack, you can spend the next 20 years killing anyone you want.

Pouring it into his own mouth, mostly.

Bart Starr was pretty cool. Seems like a nice guy.

It's göring to come back and bite them.

Maybe a little, gold sombrero on an armband.

That's why I think it has to be someone who owns a bunch of publishers, like Microsoft. Like how Disney is not just Disney, but also Pixar, Marvel, ABC, ESPN, etc... It's why people shit on Paramount+. There's just nothing there worth watching.

Think of it more like Netflix. Netflix was great, then the market fractured and Netflix enshitified in response.

What it would take here is for a publisher to become a real distributor in the space, but competition is weak right now. Just like it really took Disney wading in to disrupt Netflix, it would take someone equally large, like Microsoft, to disrupt Steam. Sorry Ubisoft, but you don't cut it.

Sort of. She also has some Russian ties.

While I don't think she is some kind of Soviet black ops plant, she's secured funding many times by less savory means. That does mean the things she says and does require a little extra thought though.

I do wish it wasn't part of the "assassinate the left, cozy towards center" mentality that democrats are embracing.

I have a cool blog I made for class with lots of techy stuff. Can you check it out and tell me what you think?

Yeah, there's a lot of contradiction and apologetics when it comes to Bush. He can't be an evil, cunning, crafty, bumbling ignoramus, all at once. He's definitely an idiot who knowingly employed some evil people. In my mind, that makes him pretty awful, but some people feel differently for some reason.
