I don’t even know that it’s stupid, like, she’s the governor, this is just the “people consolidating behind Biden is an anti-Bernie conspiracy” thing again imo. I also prefer Platiner but it would be shocking if this wasn’t happening after she announced.

Having said that, we should probably take a step back as a society and figure out why people keep doing that, it’s a real problem!

I mean it’s not about rooting for them, people just did that. That definitely was not the intent.

Somehow I am on a Dem text list for Iowa, a state I have never been to in my life, let alone lived there. Good luck on all your races, guys, but you're barking up the wrong tree on these messages.

I have assumed for a long time that if AI survives long-term it's going to be an Uber/Doordash situation where once the investment money dries up they jack the prices for the services significantly. 22.5% is an extremely high "edge case" zone though, you're right, but AI running at loss isn't new.

SH2 remake definitely extended a lot of the sections, which is both good and bad, but the fact that it gives you more time to spend with Maria and build her character more is definitely in the good column.

As a prestige class you retain all your wine mom skills but it opens up a new set of skills to learn.

“Edge case users can cost significantly more than they bring in”, a phenomenon unheard of in the history of money before now

Bill Kristol did far worse than whatever she might have and he’s liberalism’s strongest soldier right now

Yeah exactly, we kind of need those people! That was sort of the whole deal here very recently.

The Mass Effect novelization went in some weird directions

Paperback Paradise @paperbackparadise.bsky.social · Jan 23

Book cover for the classic alien abduction book Communion that features a ‘grey’ alien face with a slight smirk. Title and copy read:

THE ALIEN THAT
SUCKED ME DRY

A MALE ALIEN BLEW ME AND IT WAS SO GOOD I'M GAY NOW

Say what you will about her but young republicans even a few years ago are a very different breed than ones now, to say nothing of the career she’s had since. This seems unfair.

"Young Republicans"

Wasn't that the group Kat was in in College ?

So on the one hand, the combat in the remake is much more satisfying and smooth, but on the other hand, I kind of feel like it shouldn't be? Silent Hill protagonists should not feel like they know how to fight.

Alright time to kick off spooky season with Bloober Hill finally.

Her response might be worth considering at all if John Oliver had been promoted to Head of HBO or something, but alas this is not that world so this is irrelevant.

Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social · 2d

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News:

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver

MrNelson007, Defender of Skara Brae @mrnelson007.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah the thing about “he wanted to destroy it” is he could have just shut it down if that’s what he wanted
