Also Wizards have been on a "no creature that walks on two legs can be just an evil monster, because that's no better than literal real-world racism" kick lately so I'm sure playable gnolls are just a matter of time.

Well, I guess this proves me wrong then, too. Twitter can't be that much of a hellsite if this is what an AI trained on nothing but its content looks like. Remember when Microsoft tried to make a social media bot a few years back and it acted like a 4channer? They must have trained it off Xbox...

How soon is the special election to fill Santos's seat? Are they both going to be vacant for a long enough time to pass some bill that only 99% of Republicans are going to vote against? EDIT: OK, 96% to be precise.

I would have preferred they take the franchise somewhere new for a change, especially since Miami isn't exactly all that culturally relevant these days (and wasn't even in 2003, hence the 1980s throwback), but Florida as a whole sure is. If there were ever a time to go back to the "map contains...

Yeah if Bibi somehow managed to just take the money and run, like Trump might, that would actually be an improvement over what he's probably actually going to spend most of it on.

The only thing that surprises me is that it was so close. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the roughly-half that tried to scrub the records included more people who had voted for the clause than against it. I know who I'd be more afraid of pissing off.

Yeah, and the Big Three are pretty reasonably moderate even without being forced. Now, "local news" broadcasts on Sinclair-owned stations on the other hand...

I know Alaska is neither a swing state nor a large one, but I'd have hella respect for Biden running political ads there saying this is what will happen to them if Trump wins.

We all deserve better than to continue sharing a planet with anyone who would consider owning that monstrosity a good enough excuse to give Elon Musk more money.

At this point I don't know what would give me more joy, Elon losing even more money having to retool the Cyberabomination to meet regulations, or everyone who buys one crashing into a wall and dying.

So what's the threshold for literally failing the federal safety tests so hard that it becomes illegal to sell them?

...That's a thing? ...Of course it's a thing.

This could be a huge deal because Sweden and Norway are two of Tesla's biggest markets.

The only bad thing about this is that he's entitled to free medical treatment instead of having to just slowly die of his wounds the way his victim did.

The Apple III is the most important "Steve Jobs insists on a bad design" story that can be told. He insisted it be devoid of ventilation fans; it ended up being a disaster because of its tendency to overheat and break down. It's very possible that if not for that, it probably would have...

Well, "sneaking"... he's kinda hard to miss. That's the difference with Tudyk: he's actually got more than one voice he can do. Also, Ratzenberger left a few years ago at this point; that's why you don't notice him anymore.

At this point I think the EU would only deign to let them back in if they agreed to become a full member and fully submit to their laws instead of the special treatment they had for decades before that. A lot of what the EU has achieved in the past few years has only been possible because the...

I have a deep conviction that he would have let those friends get away with it if he were in charge. But hey, he's welcome to prove me wrong—somebody introduce a bill that imposes harsher penalties for voyeurism and people who know about it and don't report it, and see what he does.

Or because breaking lightspeed is literally impossible, no less a product of wild imagination than witches turning people into toads. I dunno, I have a hard time thinking that far ahead either way. Even in a best case scenario it'll be centuries before we land on an exoplanet suitable for...

It would be nice if everything was a non-profit, but there's a reason people don't do that. Even those so inclined aren't going to dedicate that much effort to anything other than providing basic necessities to those who can't afford them. Because until that's taken care of, anything else feels...
