In the UK a few years back, Boris Johnson refused to show up to a debate on climate change, so Channel 4 replaced him with a slowly melting block of ice.

It annoyed him so much he tried to privatise the entire TV station lol.

I know logically that people can do whatever they want and it doesn't affect me in any way so I shouldn't care, but I do still get a visceral eye-twitching feeling whenever someone talks about installing Windows on a Steam Deck. It's like someone buying a sports car and using it to tow a caravan or something.

I started reading up on him and apparently he said this:

I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful), or that he’s America’s Hitler.

That fact that he thinks Trump could be Hitler and is still prepared to get behind him for his own gain tells me all I need to know about the principles of the man.

I think in a sane world, after the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape came out we'd have never heard from him again.

If it counts, definitely the Steam Deck. With that and emulators, it's like having almost every game I've ever owned in one portable machine.

I used to make animations for YouTube, which weren't monetized because I hate ads, and one day they copyright struck me for some very provably public domain music, but the way they did it was to insert ads into my video without my consent so they could monetize them to send the money to the scammer who flagged me. So I just deleted my entire account, fuck them.

I read that in Jeremy Clarkson's voice lol

Ironically, I read about three lines of this article before I got a full-screen popup and then a paywall then closed the tab. And it's going to get worse apparently.

Fun fact! In 2002 the US passed a law allowing themselves to invade the Hague in case any high-ranking US officials ended up on trial there.

Which I'm sure they passed in the year between 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq just by coincidence, and they weren't expecting any shady shit to go down at all.

IMO this is why it's super important that the Republicans, especially Trump, don't win the next election (even more so than usual.) There are already literal nazis outside Disney Land, the absolute last thing anyone needs is some dickhead pardoning the Proud Boys and emboldening the far right even further.

Pro Tip: corporations won't just give you this, you sort of have to riot until you force the government make it illegal for them to not do it. And even then you'll probably have to re-defend it every few years.

The UK likes to go the other way by talking up a ridiculous goal and then immediately failing it, like "Our goal is to produce zero CO2 and become the global leader in renewables by 2025” and then immediately open a new coal mine.
