  1. Leon is consuming his own product. I had to explain this to an older relative who tries to do the “you don’t like Musk because he’s successful and he changed his politics” bit and then I show him where Musk is fighting with college students at 2:30 in the morning and calling them retards (my cousin is autistic so his grandpa does not take kindly to that word). It’s literally “this is the world’s richest man fighting with twenty-something’s on Twitter at all hours of the night, he’s not well”. Musk constantly engages with people who are barely out of college, if that, and it shows. Same relative tried to proudly tell the whole family about Musk’s Tesla TVs and I had to gently shoot him down and point out that a Czech company named Tesla was founded in the 1940s and they are selling rebadged TVs in Europe under the Tesla name.
  2. For now stick to the people you follow.
  3. When you lose the Duran Duran subreddit, you’ve really fucked up
  4. Only redeeming feature was the Romulan ambassador. It is something that has never been done in Star Trek before....
  5. Will it be as cool as Brotherhood of the Wolf?
  6. Putin learned the hard way, the old saying that our grandfathers and fathers passed down to us, and from which there is usually no recovery: You can’t unfuck the babysitter.
  7. Ironic since he lived in Austin for several years before that.
  8. We are three years in, Russia is using North Koreans who are ineffectual, and the Norks are being killed by the Russians and their officers when they are wounded, Russians are riding bicycles and golf carts into assaults, they still haven’t kicked the Ukrainians out of Kursk, and the Ukrainians are getting better and better at taking out irreplaceable Russian energy infrastructure deeper and deeper inside of Russia proper.. Russia is relying on North Korea for a lot of ammo, and they and Iran just lost their biggest ally in the Middle East, that they couldn’t militarily protect. If Putin could fully mobilize, he would have by now. The raiding of a few night clubs and the drunk tanks in Moscow and St. Pete’s ain’t going to do it, China has been extremely cautious about not running into Western sanctions. What Russia is getting is all they will get. It’s why North Korea and Iran are really the only two countries supplying weapons in large quantities. Zeihan has not been watching Russian state TV where threatening to nuke European capitols is a weekly event. Actual use of nukes will mean China gets involved in a narrative way, as they have told Putin “no”. This is how you know it’s a Zeihan video (not saying he’s right or wrong), Russia has already tried to influence elections in other nations, their spies have killed Russians in European countries, lots of their spies have been caught in said countries, they have deliberately tried to cut communications in the Baltic multiple times, they’ve been doing the cyber warfare thing long before 2022, they’ve already committed enough war crimes that thousands of their soldiers should hang, they won’t use chemical weapons (again, it gets China involved against them). If Putin truly had the resources that he could call upon to make serious gains, he would have done so by now. Trading 100,000 Russians for a small village and a few kilometers on a map over 6 months might have sustainable in 1944, but it’s not now.
  9. It would be a bunch of middle-aged guys typing “A/S/L” to each other.
  10. Yep, it’s trying to force you to login to read stuff, and the embed code is reflecting that. Absolute dog shit.
  11. SEE THE WEATHER IS FAKE ITS ALL GREENSCREEN SHEEPLE!
  12. I think Surly needs an AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ server. https://github.com/mk6i/retro-aim-server
  13. Game Decelopers Conference released a poll before GDC

    I would ask him if he would sign my Frisco Kid movie poster.
  15. It’s insane how much it’s exploded. There are a lot of emulator and getting close to more recent consoles (still some tech requirements that Apple won’t permit for security reasons). This group has a lot of info. https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOniOS/ Almost feels easier to do a lot of this stuff on my iPad than farting around with my PC.
  16. If you want to geek out over the various Enterprises, somebody ranked them with photos. I still have TNG D model and the TMP refit as my favorites,
  17. They play the renaissance festival and LARP circuits.
  18. NY Times: Reddit Users Boycott X Links After Elon Musk’s Gesture at Inaugural Event SF Gate (formerly the SF Chronicle: Elon Musk's Nazi salute sparks widespread Reddit revolt Widespread is putting it mildly. I can’t fucking check Reddit without seeing dozens of subreddits I don’t subscribe to asking if Twitter should be banned from them (meanwhile the /r/Dallas/ mods are deleting threads and banning people trying to get a Twitter ban)
  19. Subreddits all over the place are banning links to Twitter, so Leon’s war against Reddit will start within hours.
  20. He only talked about Mars, so I’m guessing the Lunar missions have been scrapped in favor of whatever Musk whispered in his ear.
  21. Gonna hit 29 million probably tonight, as there’s been another uptick in new users. I’m seeing more activity.
  22. I'm kind of surprised - after all of the "President Musk" stuff, and then the salute, it's kind of bold for Musk to be out there on Twitter trolling a pet project of Trump's (or rather his donors, but he made his followers believed he was the one driving it). You'd think he'd be laying low a bit, not trying to literally take the spotlight off of Trump.
  23. Just for you Search media - Wikimedia Commons Unforunately no nudez of Ms. Hoffs.
