Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

your money. They deserve it.

If I'm a despotic president, I'm not going to try to get a new Cornetta Trilogy movie or whatever, I'd just want closure on a certain humble series of fifty indie-folk albums.

Sure! Mastercard, Visa, Stripe + Paypal are further restricting what kinds of perfectly legal adult content you can buy through their processor (they cracked down on itchio and steam over the summer, not to mention Patreon a few years ago). We're tired of them acting like dictators instead of tools.
I don’t happen to have a Mastercard, but can you remind me why I’d be upset with them if I did?

It is wild that The Simpsons accidentally did what will be read as their K-Pop Demon Hunters episode this week in what was actually their TRAP parody episode and ultimately it just shows that nobody on the writing staff knows what K-Pop is?

And with the power of AI we won't be able to tell if they are inedible because of how we cooked them or if the recipe wasn't even real.
My personal Recession Indicator is when recipe sites/blogs start pushing cabbage and bean dishes.
Chat, is it a good sign when the Atlantic's Thanksgiving take is "cabbage is affordable"?

Back in 2018 I ran an Adventureview with Al Ewing to promote "You Are Deadpool".
It was all based around a song that he was unfamiliar with.

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

So it's fine for the people seeing Wicked to dress up but I guess it was too late to dress up for Predator: Badlands

Thinking about the wrestler Olaf who did this as a bit.
everyone chants “Gimgle! Gimgle! Gimgle!” as my large son Gimgle eats an onion like an apple.

The last episode of the Simpsons had, along with introducing Mayor Quimby's legitimate son and his father, a band that was supposed to be the Black Eyed Peas that the kids would be excited for. But .. would they?

Oh... ?

That's some great news, then!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Scott Cawthon is just the America's JK Rowling.

The games ain't worth it folks.
FNAF/Scott Cawthon should not be supported in any way.

Don't buy/stream his games, give money to the franchise, watch the movies, etc.

He uses his gains FROM FNAF to support harmful legislature and candidates on the right.

Which is bad, yes? Stop supporting him. He deserves nothing.

@therealjims.bsky.social How many babies and children have vanished on The Simpsons? I mean like when did we last see Ling? And didn't Comic Book Guy have a baby?

There were even companies calling their automated solutions AI and not clarifying what they mean
You should want consistent results with a path that you can trace back and be kept engaged.
It’s not just that people don’t know there are simpler ways to do things. It’s that they’re being TOLD to integrate Ai into everything. I’m reminded, again, of the radium craze. Radium is not magic and nor is Ai. Both are, unfortunately, harmful.

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Back when I worked on the old website for the Columbus Zoo, I put in a bunch of filler content because the zoo never sent in their own. It was almost all up there until 2 years ago when they redesigned the site. That's why the Pallas Cat was captioned "why so serious?"
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

Tell people they matter.

Tell them they’re appreciated.

Tell them you’re glad they’re here.

Those words might be exactly what they need.
