I agree. This is completely in line with “the corporation said they would be nice.” line of thinking that has fucked this country.

“To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.”

There is nothing special or nefarious about this. Once she goes to see her case manager for the first time, they will adjust her release date. For her, since she is serving more than 12 months, she gets “good time.” This is roughly 15% off (54 days for every 365 days of prison term) her sentence which everyone gets…

2 clicks is what I’d expect. One to cancel, and one to say “Are you sure you want to cancel?”

Once again, there’s this urge to jump to AI because it can do SOMETHING, but there’s no indication that it can really do it GOOD or RIGHT or CORRECTLY.

They announce before the actor is visible on location shoots.  Not much point in announcing afterwards.

After watching that clip, I’m reminded less about the Queen’s death and more about the fact that all Twitch streamers have to performatively scream every 30 seconds to entertain their 12 year old fans.

Well then you should be happy, at least in the US AI/ML generated works are not eligible for copyright protection.

I got $5.27. Not even worth cashing, so I’ll probably get it framed and put on the wall for the lulz.

It’s a journalism abbreviation that means “to come”. It means the writer or editor was supposed to go back and replace the “TK” text with some other, more meaningful and/or well-researched text before publishing. It’s deliberately misspelled, I think the idea being it’s supposed to stand out more that way and be…

the good news here is that VRBPAC just approved a yearly update model for COVID vaccinations like we do with flu -- but we can expect yearly COVID vaccinations to be *much* more effective on average than the flu vaccine which even in 2023 is a bit of a dice roll.

Would much prefer having to primary her rather than having to deal with her independent candidacy in a close general election where the 0.5% of Arizona voters who actually like her might make a difference. Or a situation where Democrats are basically stuck with her, because they are scared of that happening, which is…

If by “backwards compatibility” you mean “buy this game again,” then you’re probably going to be in luck.

It was part of the GOP’s plan to steal the election: flood the zone with shit polls and have Fox News and other right media amplify then so that they are “media verified” so they count in legitimate aggregate polling. Then the mainstream media will pick them up and report on it. Then they can use that as evidence that…

Disconcertingly, Wood has decided that the 2022 U.S. midterm elections are a perfect fit for his electoral disaster tourism brand.

No. Just no. I dont know who the ‘extremely privileged artists’ you know are but I’ve been a professional illustrator for 6 years and believe me none of that has been taken for granted because prior to that i grew up on one of the biggest council estates in Europe, was very poor and had to work jobs to support myself…

Don’t underplay this.

I always thought This Old House was a faaaaar more accurate home renovation show. It takes an entire season to finish one house. The people involved have a budget, but also spend more due to delays, price changes, etc. than planned. There are multiple contractors involved in every step of the process. One episode even…

I’m sure you’re as aware of this as I am, but for anybody else who might not be aware: the folks saying that their shitty views deserve to be respected don’t actually care about tolerance. They’re just using the language of tolerance to try and defend being bigots.

“WTF is this?” one person referencing Almalki’s comment asked FaZe Clan’s account. “I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.
