Yep, when they started forcing subreddits to open after having gone dark, that was the final straw for me. It was clear reddit was saying “fuck you, we own the platform and you can’t do shit about it.”

My wife wanted to watch Obession this weekend, which is streaming on Peacock. That was the first time I’ve watched anything on there in at least a year. What a garbage ass service. Like 3 minutes of ads before the movie starts. Then ads on the pause screen.

Now that you mention it, there’s a lot of ammo laying around a lot of video game caves.

Always bugged me how the grass wasn’t overgrown in The Walking Dead. Who the hell is going around mowing lawns in the zombie apocalypse?!


I’m a big fan of the Norm MacDonald jokes where the punchline is lame but the journey getting there is hilarious. Some examples

“I think flexibility is here to stay,” she said.
This is the problem with academics. They do a study, find something is logically better, then assume humans will act logically.
Unfortunately, most CEOs don’t give a shit if their employees are more happy, productive, and less likely to quit if they work remotely. They just want to feel like they have control over people’s lives, which is why we’re seeing more return to office initiatives.
Look out for those beauties, oh yeah.

I used to work on the website for a utility company that insisted on ridiculous uptime. Our major deployments risked taking the system down for a few seconds, though in practice that never happened.
As a result, they made us do deployments starting at 3:00 in the morning since that was the least active time on the site. Fuuuuuuuuck that place.

My brother is an air traffic controller at one of the world’s busiest international airports and I can assure your their system uptime is no where close to 3 9s.

It would also be in stark defiance of Amazon’s stated climate goals, which center on reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
That’s not lost on the tech giant. But as Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan told the NYT, the “world looks different now than when we co-founded the climate pledge.”
What the fuck? They looked at the world recently and said “yeah, climate change isn’t as much of a problem as it was before”?!?

The headline kind of misses the main point, which is that the students have to retake the exam because cheating was so rampant, likely due to AI usage but that can’t be proven.
Between 2021 and 2025, 3.5 percent of test takers scored 100 or more on the 120-question UNAM test. This year, 16.3 percent did so.
The story was even worse at the highest of the high end. Between 2021 and 2025, 0.9 percent of test takers scored 110 or more; this year, 5.5 percent did so.

Maybe if Elon throws out a few more Nazi salutes, it will fix the problem. Surely that will increase sales.

I wish they remastered this game. It’s soooo good but is a bit clunky to replay.
