What are you talking about? The bad D+ shows are bad because they’re bad stories, badly told. It’s really that simple.

If it were to happen, it needs to happen after the RNC convention and his name is already on the ballot. If it happened sooner, they would replace him, probably with Haley, who would likely beat Biden.

Like, hey, maybe vote against the side that is constantly scheming to keep you from voting in the first place?

BothSiders are the worst. It’s the clearest black vs white binary choice in election history. STFU and vote Blue. 

Something something party of small government, blah blah blah free market, yak yak yak freedumb. 

Hmmm....it’s almost as if he straight up asked the oil and gas industry for $1B dollars and promised to squash EV’s in a publicly stated quid pro quo scheme.

if you’re registered head to a poll (and don’t vote GOP), if you’re eligible and not registerered, register asap. No matter what grief you have with Biden or the dems (and many griefs are legitimate) not voting and not voting dem have short and long term consequences that we can not take lightly. 

Every day I wake up hoping to open the news and see he stroked out and was found face down in his own dirty diaper and every day I’m disappointed. Maybe tomorrow will be the day.

Every website that relies on Google-based traffic is going to die as Google traps users on their own page reading answers stolen from those websites. If you thought a ton of useful websites died a decade ago during the Facebook-driven “pivot to video” disaster, this is going to be that tenfold.

So, Google AI is as smart as your average MAGA stooge.

It’s so crazy how awful the Google search experience has become. It’s arguably still better than any current alternatives, but man it feels like someone could come in and dethrone it relatively easily these days, just by removing the clutter. The AI results are garbage and yet another thing I have to ignore and…

The Onion can call their next historical compilation “Our Even Dumber Century.”

This is just bringing to mind how in the not-even-acknowledged-here-except-for-the-comments-section video, there’s a discussion about the pressure that exists for media publications/reviewers to stay on Disney’s good side if they want to keep getting media access to stuff.

Decided to break up my rambling thoughts into two parts:

Well, the article is getting views and comments, so it’s doing what it’s designed to do.

That was my take on it; ‘oh, it’s a big LARP event.’ I spent a time in my 20s as a pretty obsessive LARPer in Britain, so I should be the target market, but this sounded too pricey for a lot of gamers, and simply not the sort of thing a whole load of other people would enjoy.

This article is a weirdly precise example of the kind of response that Jenny Nicholson predicted from people who became emotionally (and/or financially) invested in a version of history where this thing lived up to the hype.

Jenny Nicholson really nails this with her official concept art images, aka, “Chapter XXI, What They Stole From You.”

The failure wasn’t in “no one understood that it wasn’t a hotel,” the failure was the insane pricetag that excluded 99.99% of the population just to get in the door to find out it wasn’t a hotel. I actually find it hard to believe that anyone who would’ve stayed there at that pricetag A) missed the marketing that the…

The fantastic A More Civilized Age podcast also did a visit to the Star Cruiser a few months back, and their takeaway was very similar to Nicholson’s. A giant rip-off, and largely a failure at being an ‘interactive experience,’ that would still be a rip off if it were actually successful AND cost half as much.
