Atari's Basketball is not the first basketball video game ever, but this 1978 Atari VCS release is the first to start to feel like a proper adaptation of the sport. Saying "you could dribble!" might sound prehistoric, but remember, '78 is also when Space Invaders hit. History has to start somewhere.
It's new to me: Basketball (Atari 2600)
Atari turned its eyes toward basketball in 1978, and truly launched the sport in video game form.

It's always about control, the sooner people realize that these attacks are about dismantling the rights of ALL women, the better.
Do you honestly think a racist white billionaire woman in a moldy castle gives two fucks about kids safety?

If you need another incentive to never shop at target, here is a particularly infuriating one
It’s unclear why the prices differ, but a new notice on Target’s website offers a potential hint: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”
Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs
A newly enacted New York law requires retailers to say whether your data influences the price of basic goods like a dozen eggs or toilet paper, but not how.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Like if I buy French fries at Wendy’s they shouldn’t give a fuck about how much ketchup I use but every music service is “no dummy listen to this playlist” “we noticed you haven’t listened to this ad free podcast” “let me email you song suggestions” if Wendy’s emailed me about fries I’d become Amish

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
