They're playing Americans like a fiddle. Block this, censor that, delay here,objection there,"this is good TV" and the wheel of time goes around. Meanwhile they continue with the coup and passing more and more bad law which codifies US into oligarchy. Democrats are nowhere to be seen doing anything.
For whatever reason, Pam Bondi decided that all the Epstein files from the period around 9/11 were to be withheld from discovery. What's that about?

The ongoing surge in memory prices means Sony is considering holding back the PlayStation 6 release to 2028 or 2029, a new report claims.

Russia’s regime doesn’t limit itself to bombing Ukraine, it also keeps silencing opponents at home.
Two years ago, Alexei Navalny died in a Russian prison camp, poisoned with a lethal toxin. The Kremlin bears full responsibility. (1/3)

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.
