I always thought the virtue of a machine is that it at least wouldn't lie to you, which makes Generative AI a fundamental corruption of the thing in itself: a machine that lies is a machine worth less than nothing.

Social media was generally a mistake, but at least we got to find out that Sandy Petersen is the whipping boy / village idiot for classic-era boomer-shooter devs.

I had a great run of Marathon where I clinched a fight, last man standing, by quickly whipping around and putting a railgun bullet through a Destroyer's face because a team-mate had a great callout. I got a gold mod and purple shield off of it.
Very next match I lost it all. So it goes.

I did my first run of the new Marathon season, and it feels like they've added a ton of stuff. Even just running Perimeter I ran into a coue things I'd never seen before.

I've seen some well-meaning liberals say that advocating for the abolishment of ICE is a mistake, and that we need to replace it instead.
It frustrates me that people accept the premise that these organizations are necessary. Maybe people are too young to remember, so a history lesson:

I've long thought that Twitter is a place completely devoid of ethical construction, which I guess is pretty obvious to everyone. Still, the latest affront to common decency does feel like a shock on a very basic, human level.
