Probably whoring out for Savvy Games money...

He's tight with Saudi Arabia, probably less about trump. Many of these businesses have also accepted investment from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.

Her inflection during chorus "messed with the wrong biiITCH" sends me every time. She had a lot of fun recording this

Greenland is similarly related to climate change, ice melting allows new arctic shipping lanes opening, and minerals emerging that were previously difficult to access. Seems perfectly inline with the general concept imo

Fair point. I was thinking much more locally, like defending lake michigan from those damned floridian migrators trying to steal our fresh waters.

My boomer FIL explained to me "yeah it's going to suck for your generation, maybe the one after.. but it'll all be worth it after that. America will be the strongest ever - your grandkids will live large".

Ya so, to hell with my time on this earth I guess. Bunch of selfish pricks. They're not getting grandkids. Poor kids would show up just in time for the water wars.

And this is before retailers add their 20% "fuck you, try and find this somewhere else" markup on top MSRP.

Guess I hope AI bros can keep nvidia going, gamers are straight up priced out of this market.

Ah we wanted to watch that too, but couldn't find a eng dubbed version anywhere! I know, I know - absolute heresy - but dubbed is the only way I can convince my partner to watch foreign lang films with me haha.

If I ever find one though definitely plan to give it a go.

"Like a kid in a candy store", kid = baby goat instead of human child.

I saw Perfect Blue on top anime lists over and over again for literal years. The synopsis had no appeal to me at all, as I am not really into jpop or celeb culture or anything like that. I knew it existed, but assumed it wouldn't be for me.

Earlier this year I just decided to dive in on it. I didn't quite understand everything about the culture presented, but I still found myself engrossed, loving the story and basking in the visuals. Then the final act sealed it as one of my favorite animes, too. Wild ride of a film.

Edit- I agree with you regarding ending death note "where it should have ended", after that moment just feels like half assed trying to recreate the magic between Light and L.

Goin out for a rip are ya bud?

 

NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) — Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was taken into custody by homeland security at an ICE facility in New Jersey on Friday afternoon, according to Alina Habba, the Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

“The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon,” read the social media post from Habba.

Baraka is being held at the ICE Newark field office.

Echoing John Lewis, "Cause some good trouble, necessary trouble"

 
 

Its been some time since xitter, reddit, and other sites began paywalling their API, causing third party integrations and apps to collapse.

I'm wondering, did any of these sites end up with paying customers for the API? Are there examples of third parties paying to continue their services? These sites sacrificed massive amounts of community and developer good will to privatize the internet - how did it work out for them long term?
