I'm happy that Randal Munroe still makes these things, and XKCD, even if it doesn't seem like it has the same reach as it once did. A lot like Metafilter. [more]

Claw machines are more rigged. Pachinko and slot machines are generally agreed upon to be luck, but claw machines present the illusion of skill when many times they cannot be won on a given play. [more]

There is another problem with UBI, although it's not really with UBI was with our economic system, and that is that there is a lot of monopolization and effective collusion in the US. This is all the way I see it, I haven't gotten it from anyone,… [more]

AI is the current vanguard of the enshittification of our world. A couple of days ago, a friend was on the phone with the power company. She was forced through a phone tree, made a wing turn in it and had to hang up and start over, then… [more]

A Grand Day Out is still my favorite Wallace and Gromit production. It doesn't have any villains, just two friends exploring the lunar landscape, and an, er, misunderstanding with a vending machine. And Wallace's voice was perfectly cast! RIP… [more]

Scattercat, that's why I liked Ol' Doomy in the movie! His first appearance, he's at the top of a long staircase extending up into distant blackness, flanked by floating orbs, I think there might even have been a couple of braziers. It was ludicrous,… [more]

We learn to live with this, to use it for good, and we overhaul our political and economic systems to prioritize the exclusion of sociopaths before AGI lands. Ha ha! We are currently about to hold an election to see if the US citizenry… [more]

Cathy is a great comic for what it was trying to do and I'm not going to tolerate any arguments otherwise. Cathy was one of the victims of the early internet's tendency to pick easy targets and mock them mercilessly, as it hadn't been fully… [more]

Here's a question I feel it's worth asking: why did the internet stop being weird in the first place? There are two answers I come up with. (Do you care what I, a nobody in semi-rural Georgia who has never had a real job and doesn't have… [more]

NotAYakk, or they could just make the level downloadable on it's own, outside of Nintendo's ecosystem, and make their findability mechanism something separate. If you could download and upload levels into files that could live on a PC, it'd eliminate… [more]

Someone left the show because of a transphobic riff, and although I missed the joke, I can kind of understand? There is a history of these kinds of jokes in MST3K and related projects, even in some of the most beloved episodes and shorts. I cannot… [more]

The "surelythis" meme around these parts has been with us since the Bush years. The joke, as should be evident by now, is that there is never enough evidence, for many people. It's been pointed out many times, we have no lack for it being… [more]
