So, outside of sh*tposts, I also attempt to make videos about retro tech and computers!

If you've got a hot minute, maybe have a look, leave a comment, so once I'm healthy again, I can get that li'l sliver of serotonin to make more stuff!

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

🧵 Back when the internet was cool, I used to collect phrases that sounded like band names. There was a website that would generate cassette tapes with whatever you wanted on it, so I'd make fake tapes for these fake bands. Just found a bunch of them while digging through Google Drive:

GameCube done, next patient up on the operating table…

This poor virtual boy has no image in left eye and occasional in right eye

But with some VB eye patches, cap kit and iron ready to reflow some joints this will be good as new 👍🏻

Coming to your from the warzone that is Portland Oregon. Yesterday, 1:30pm downtown by the Federal Building and Police HQ: total mayhem!

Someone was actually picking up some trash in the park! A couple miles away on Hawthorne, someone was driving a late 70s Ford Thunderbird.

Oh the humanity!

OpenAI claims companies must opt-out of having their copyrighted characters & content appear in Sora

Legal experts say studios have grounds to sue:

“They’re setting up this false bargain where they can do this unless you opt out. And if you don’t, it’s your fault. That’s not the way the law works"

Unless RA comes back with a strong reversal of all of this AND a genuine apology I'd highly advise leaving the platform.

The fact that it even got this far is absolutely pathetic.

They really need to learn about the paradox of tolerance.

The OpenAI flagship data center is in Texas, and multiple other such centers are scheduled to be built here. My electricity bill last month was three times what it usually is. It’s a completely unsustainable situation.

A late-night experiment in particle physics leads to an experience that's truly... Out of this World.

The first truly cinematic introduction to a game that I ever saw.

'Demolition Man' on 3DO released on this day in 1994.

Jack of all genres, master of none: Stallone's involvement in FMVs shot specifically for this movie tie-in do little to elevate the dire state of its gameplay. As inconsistent as it is ambitious -- a true novelty for the 3DO.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

I remember all the tech people who told me time and again that Apple will just keep refining their face computer and I’m “negative” for saying it’s DOA
“These developments signal a broader realignment across major tech firms toward wearable devices driven by generative AI, always-on connectivity, and seamless user interfaces.”

From “glassholes” to “slopfacer.”
