    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I wonder if Trump is expecting them to resort to plundering the supplies they need, because he's a wannabe Genghis Khan like that.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    I don't know why games can't get gyro aim on PlayStation platforms, but it's their loss. That said, wasn't having potato aim kind of intentional in RE4? Because you're supposed to feel overwhelmed and defenseless because it's a horror game? Yes I know the Wii port exists, but I've heard critics...

    P&R Funnies!

    If your only account of his life comes from the Bible, sadly, that's exactly the takeaway you're going to get. According to the Gospels, when he was put on trial his accusers refused to actually charge him with anything that Pilate would acknowledge was a real crime—even the actual crime they...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    To be fair, the writer of the article had the same exact takeaway as Paladin did. Apparently MSN just copypasted the whole article from the Daily Beast, a "news outlet" about as interested in objective reporting as OAN.

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    Right? I felt a little embarrassed typing the "no progress" thing knowing I had also been putting off getting this tablet that whole time. I definitely had my revelation about my less-than-ideal workflow before that. And then I plowed ahead with two art projects that would have both been vastly...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    We learned that Elon Musk said he was in the Epstein files. He didn't tell us anything we didn't already know, and he's also not any more credible a source than our collective gut feelings. (Calling someone a pedophile when he doesn't get his way is established behavior for him.)

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    Oh, it's the same nephew as the other thread. But wait, there's been a gap of over three years. This can't be the only reason no progress has been made that whole time.

    Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    Does Canada even have any high-profile politicians who are actual progressives? Is there a Canadian equivalent of Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, Warren, or Franken before he was kicked out? And, does the parliamentary system provide any chance at all that such a personage could ever become Prime...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Except almost all of those weapons are in the hands of Trump supporters. I could see a lot of them showing up to "help" the military, taking potshots at anyone who pisses them off and escalating conflicts way worse than the military would on its own. But Trump will praise them for doing so and...

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    It's a Huion Kamvas 13. The... first generation, I guess? They seem to have skipped straight from the "Kamvas 13" to the "Kamvas 13 3rd generation" unless the Pro is what they consider to be the second. I was mostly looking at XP-Pen's offerings, which were also on sale at the time, until the...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I imagine anyone who would dare tell him anything he didn't want to hear was fired outright some time ago, and is now working for one of the other EV startups. As such, the company is utterly unsalvageable even if they could get rid of him. You can't reverse a brain drain.

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    After over a decade of making do with a Wacom Graphire and then eight years of making do with a Bamboo that I found at a garage sale, I finally broke down and bought a tablet with a built-in screen! It came this afternoon. I've been waffling about getting one because they're usually over $200...

    General Question for the artists, about tablets.

    So hey, how'd things work out for the nephew? I was reminded of this thread again today because I finally took ownership of a screen-have tablet myself, a refurbished Huion Kamvas 13 that NewEgg had a flash sale on. I'd been waffling for ages about whether one would be worth the investment, but...

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Yeah that's the other problem, Israel is a parliamentary system where the only people actually being voted for are their legislators, and I assume they're like the UK and Canada where elections regularly get scheduled on an ad-hoc basis by the people currently in charge rather than on a fixed...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    People ought to know that you should never open-staple anything except a corkboard unless there's something solid under it. That's why the "trigger" in an office stapler is on the underside; you're supposed to press it against the solid thing or the stapler's metal base. In this case the...

    Also, there's only one way Elon could know that Trump is in the Epstein files, which is that he's in them too. Which is also a huge "Well duh."

    The blockchain is going to destroy everything

    So, something interesting happened since this story broke. I happened to catch another report on it on TV, and they described the victim as a "crypto investor", whereas the MSN article uses it to describe the perpetrator. Now, it's definitely true that the victim is a crypto investor; that's why...

    AI don't trust techbros

    The legacy of the Mechanical Turk lives on. I wonder how many more such scams will be uncovered in the coming months. There's a lot of people in India.
