From the very beginning of the article:

Netflix revealed on Tuesday that, in addition to the 11 episodes already announced, a bonus twelfth episode will drop on July 31. The bonus episode is titled “The Sandman Presents: Death: The High Cost of Living” and will focus on the character Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste). 

As previously announced, the first six episodes of Season 2 will debut on July 3, with the next five premiering on July 24. Netflix has also revealed the 11 titles for those episodes, which can be seen below.

Meh, don’t really have interest in this, but I love Amber Midthunder in everything she does so I might check it out just for her.

As a general rule, I don’t recommend using ChatGPT or any LLM to learn about what to do in life and death situations. Even if (by chance) you happen to get real and useful results, isn’t your life more valuable than the time it would take to find an actual answer from an expert?

“Yeah, bitch, Qui-Gon just kidnapped and used me because he couldn’t afford a ship part, and abandoned my mother with barely a second thought. You expect me not to dwell on this shit? You’re a bunch of monsters.”

…is how I always wished he responded.

I’ve been using my MX Master 3S for three years now, and while I love it, the right click recently got really wonky. It only registers the click like 6 out of 10 times, which is unacceptable for my job.

Doubt it’s still in warranty, but I plan to try to get them to replace it. I was thinking about trying the vertical MX Master instead, but I love the magnetic scroll wheel on the normal MX Master too much. I don’t think I can go back to a mouse with a “normal” scroll wheel.

I’m glad they reported on this, but the author needs to look into federal regulations for people who work on or hold federal contracts. There’s a ton of qualified language in there that makes it clear they didn’t do a ton of research. It’s actually much more black and white than they make it seem.

I’ve worked as a federal contractor, and before I could even start onboarding, they do an intensive background check and interview where they ask probing questions about substance use (among many other things) and then they check up on your answers with a number of third parties (acquaintances, colleagues etc). Nearly without exception, if you want a job in the civil service, any prior drug use is almost always automatically disqualifying. Telling the truth about it doesn’t win you any favors with investigators either, so the general recommendation is that if you’ve smoked weed in the past, you must consistently lie about it, or you won’t get a federal job (or contracting job).

And that’s just weed. This guy does and talks about doing hard drugs in public.

The fact that it doesn’t seem to be a problem for someone who has pocketed such absurd amounts of taxpayer money from federal contracts, to openly use schedule 1 drugs in public, is one of the best examples of the legal double standards the rich have come to expect. Anyone who isn’t a billionaire would be prosecuted and jailed for the behavior Musk brags about. And they’d obviously never be awarded a federal contract.

Drugs should be legal. But until they are, these double standards have got to go.

I stopped listening to a daily news podcast partly because the hosts did this live on the air. They’d ask ChatGPT for a statistic, then say “ChatGPT says it’s 37% of Americans” or whatever. They never fact-checked it, and based on how consistently wrong LLMs have been in my experience, it called into question everything else they said.

It’s a great way to instantly lose trust in another person’s abilities.

This seems great. I hope this will include Japanese live action content too, which to me is really underrated around the world.

I just wish production companies would start including English subtitles with all their dramas and movies. I know it’s often considered an unnecessary expense so it’s not included in the contract, but I’m an English-speaking American and I love Japanese media. I usually have to wait for some kind stranger to do their own custom subtitling before I can enjoy the content, often years after the initial release.

I’m slowly trying to learn Japanese, but I doubt I’ll ever be good enough to follow some of that hilariously fast-paced dialogue I love so much…

Right on, that’s my bad. I read too far between the lines.

My family still has pretty significant generational trauma from surviving the Holocaust, so the genocide going on in Palestine is quite black and white for us. It’s wrong, Israel’s behavior is monstrous and immoral, and it needs to stop. The Palestinians never deserved this. We talk about it constantly.

Your question kinda implies that we all must have family deployed in a war zone though (unless I misunderstood), and that’s not the case. I’m American. I do have some Israeli relatives who I won’t ever speak to again because they support the genocide, but they’ve all aged out of the army.
