How cool is it that Japanese fighting game fans use to distribute their combo videos on VHS?

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.
It was a little different last week.

Love how file sharing was framed as stealing but a comparable situation where the only meaningful difference is that tech industrialists get rich is not supposed to be stealing.
So it's only individual consumers who steal, and who they steal from is not artists but in fact tech industrialists.

I think a new bar should be set in presenting the history of multi-year tournament events, not necessarily just on the players that are well remembered, but the communities that propped up each year's individual successes. Not sure what that looks like yet.

I think its ironic and difficult that I think about this stuff so often but, like everyone else, feel caught up in the cycle of building new things for our generation because its the engine that drives growth in the here and now. But sometimes I just want to read old scrolls and peruse albums.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

The 90s had a lot of missteps but the then-earnest belief in diversity and multiculturalism brought on by post-Cold War optimism was one of it better fruits
the wave of weaponized nostalgia for 90s-style multiculturalism and political correctness is gonna hit different

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

You have to admit it is an incredible act of propaganda as an academic and news outlet to publish there is less right wing terrorism at the precise moment that government is staffed by right wing terrorists who are carrying out the greatest state backed act of right wing terror in a lifetime

free your mind from Shareholder Disease! I cannot think of a less joyful use of brainpower than sitting in a theater wondering "How could this possibly be profitable for WB?"
People are whining that One Battle After Another cost too much money and will have a soft opening but whatever because a) it’s not your money they spent b) movies have a life beyond the opening weekend c) I expect strong legs for this one because everyone loves it
