I had this video pinned for over two years at the Old Place and I'm still super proud of it, so it stays pinned here.

The new boomer-coded thing that gives me the ick is using gen AI to make a picture of yourself as a funko pop.

I thought some of the artefact inscriptions in Heaven's Vault were a bit outlandish, and yet...

Letterheads and signage alone would quickly run the bill upward of $1 billion, with a full overhaul likely rising to double that amount.

Changing signage and stationary alone for the Department of Defense would cost at least a billion dollars.

Reading some of the responses to this, it needs to be said: Selling your art isn't "selling out".
Gordon Ramsay is doing Burger King ads. THAT'S selling out.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

yeah it's honestly so wild! to me that the new york times circa 2019 is writing articles about how the internet is making kids trans meanwhile their writers are emailing The World's Most Well Known Child Sex Trafficker like "heyyy buddy,,,, how's it goin friend!"
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Always extremely skeptical of Steam hardware because of all the stuff they've launched previously only to sweep under the rug after a lukewarm reception.
I still have a Steam controller from the last time they tried to make one of those. It was weird to use and annoying to configure.

Loving the absolutely normal James Bond discourse today.
Anyway, just a reminder that there are references in Craig Bond to Connery and Lazenby Bond, back when he was the same guy, so it's all canon. Especially the stuff that makes no sense.

I honestly thought ending the franchise was the point. The bloke's been noncing for over 60 years: blow him to pieces and call it a day. Make something new.
Very late stage capitalism for a megacorp to then go: "we can still work with this".

“It’s impossible to reboot Bond” says production team who decided Bond first got his licence to kill in the 21st Century, as Daniel Craig, then got incredibly old within two films and was being put out to pasture, but also had Sean Connery’s 1960s car.
It’s Bond. Just do whatever the fuck you like.

I've had confirmation it was in fact him. Insane shit to just see on the street while you're out shopping.
Should also add that one of the blokes on the street was an older chap with a shock of wild grey hair. Absolute spits Piers Corbyn. Now I'm thinking there's a good chance it was him.

Alarmed by not one but two separate groups protesting digital ID cards in town today. In isolation, not that weird: most people are opposed, it's a pretty unobjectionable political stance to take.
Thing is I have a pretty well calibrated fashdar and the needle started twitching here.

Jfc. As a professional drinks carbonator, do not fucking inhale CO2. Quite aside from that it can kill you pretty damn quickly, obviously, it just sucks shit to do. CO2 turns into carbonic acid on contact with the moisture in your airways and it fucking burns.
