My favourite part of 100% Chameleon is when a hostile NPC is scripted to come up and give you a speech about how they're going to kill you horribly now, and then they immediately forget you exist after their speech ends.

Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo are both standing as Independents because of course they are. The election is first past the post.

Trump's expected to be at the grand opening on Tuesday: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-likely-visit-alligator-alcatraz-rcna215851 Probably too much to ask for the ceremony to be overrun by hungry alligators.

I thought the reboot was great fun. It's a great shame we're not likely to get more in the series.

Finished the main questline in the most Bethesda of ways Just normal Bethesda things.

Actually impressed they got Trump to swear on camera. He must be furious.

I've been playing the Shivering Isles portion and the final fight was even harder than the original. Not because it was hard to beat, but because the game would crash without fail about 10 seconds after the battle started. The solution, it turned out, was to wait for six hours in the throne...

Given we're still waiting, I'm going to say probably.

Trying to find info on whether inflicting psychological harm on a person is illegal is difficult, but I strongly feel that article is evidence that "AI" should not be available to the general public in its current state.

Intrigued to know how the system is going to know if a call is nonemergency or not in advance. I imagine the first time some kid hiding in a closet during a school shooting is told to take an aspirin by an AI, we'll find out.

One Russian Su-25 managed to shoot down another in a friendly fire incident over occupied Ukraine territory: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/54473 Sterling work there.

And Iran has managed to hit Israel with some missiles. How could anyone have seen this coming? https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-strikes-news-06-12-25-hnk-intl
