Given the rising price of ram, and the likelihood of future price increases, it would be irresponsible NOT to buy a switch 2!

Sounds like we need a Canadian version of NICAR

Incredible short-sightedness. AI companies will make all the money while journalists do all the work, just like with social media before. The money's never in the mining, it's in the refining (& distribution).

Good list. No Luigi's Mansion 3?

That's crazy because they don't even have to say that there's no endgame, simply that they haven't disclosed what the endgame is. That's next level cowardice!

It's so frustrating! Here in Quebec the term Γ©tats-unien is sometimes used. While it rejects the US appropriation of the name of the continent, it's not intended to be pejorative! It just uses the country name and applies generic demonym rules. If people wanted to make a slur, they could do better!

I just went through your profile. Samus, Hornet, and She-ra/Catra? Great stuff. Amazing colors.

The worst thing is they do this even when there is a consensus among experts. They invent a debate whole-cloth so that they don't have to actually say anything.

Also, if the rule you follow causes your audience to have an incorrect impression of events, to be less informed than if the rule wasn't applied, of what use was the rule?

Also, what happens if these scholars, through their research, change their views from the conservative consensus? Will they have to be fired?

An academic center that prescribes/demands a particular viewpoint goes against all ideals of academic freedom of inquiry.

I didn't even realize that so many of the arguments I've been making are mirrored in Kant's writing. Very useful article.

It bugs me how much these stories are burying the lede. You have to read so far down the article to get a sense of what happened, and even then.

There's a level of batshit where sincerity becomes impossible, since sincerity requires consistent, deeply held values. But it's impossible to maintain consistent values when your brain is pudding!

As someone who has created longform interactive stories in newsrooms for years, and has been working on my own set of journalistic lexicons, we should probably have a chat at some point if you're up for it.
