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

    And on the flip side, your job is probably toast anyway as soon as the store owners realize that sort of thing is happening and decide keeping security on payroll isn't worth the expense.

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    In hindsight I'm wondering if Net Neutrality was an astroturf movement spearheaded by Big Tech. Think about it: if you ran a major ISP and it was legal to charge different prices to different customers, arbitrarily, whose rates are you going to be jacking up? That's right, the big...

    Sonic The Hedgehog

    Apple out there bribing people to make games exclusive to a platform nobody uses to play games. At what point do we just start having companies bribe studios to not release their game at all?

    Wait, is that why the evil dogcatcher in the Shaun the Sheep movie was named Trumper?

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    The Porygon-on-Wheels was always going to be a niche product. It's basically a retread of the Roadster, a product designed to draw attention to the company (and it sure did do that) rather than be a big money maker.

    Better them antagonizing our enemies than us, is all I can say.

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

    To be clear, she wants that thing from the opening level of Call of Duty: Ghosts that blasted a suburb to bits, right? She wants to aim a bunch of those at the entire southern border and just...turn them on and leave them on, continuously vaporizing anyone and anything that tries to cross?

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    There's also a world of difference between a handful of people trying and failing to turn a peaceful protest into a riot, and the entire crowd of literally thousands of people all actively trying to break down the doors to the Capitol and then pouring into the building once they succeed. If a...

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

    Now quick, scour this bill for wording that could be used to prosecute literally everyone we don't like for driving a CO2-emitting car.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Or if you're pretending to be rich and people inexplicably continue to accept your IOUs despite knowing damn well you won't honor them. I swear, the man has actual supernatural protection from consequences. Doesn't matter how much everyone involved hates him and how much they privately wish...

    AI don't trust techbros

    The really wild thing is that AI has reached the point where the way to encode its prime directive is to give it instructions in plain English just like any other prompt.

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

    Ironically other Republicans will probably block it because they're afraid it will penalize the kind of pollution that's actually bad.

    Now this is how you spend a warm spring afternoon!

    FYI I'm right on the red stripe in this map. Apparently places like Dallas that were further inside got full-on nighttime for a few minutes, instead of the dusk we got.

    Now this is how you spend a warm spring afternoon!

    We're right in the path of totality, but it turns out my camera sucks so I'll just have to post my observations in text form. They handed out free eclipse glasses at the library last week, and I kept switching between looking at the eclipse through those and observing my surroundings. The latter...
