Reading positive things about Marathon really puts Highguard into high contrast because the only nice thing I read about that game was from an article that said it felt like football. Which struck me as a strange compliment
this is ass
Interesting year!
catching up with what's gone into the National Film Registry recently, which I used to be fascinated by. I find it interesting when a film gets in within its first one or two years of eligibility, which happens ten years after its initial release. For 2025, Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) made it in
Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity
This is elite signaling, the rich exurbs pretend to be rural by doing conspicuous consumption of being rural and the actual rural areas follow them as taste makers. It’s also why they look down on cities even though they don’t live in one and what happens there doesn’t matter to them at all.
Al Jazeera cracked this "enigma":
This school had many daughters of military officers and soldiers. The idea was to attract them to the school, strike it to draw in rescuers and relatives, and then strike it again to kill them.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Remember when my gonads weren’t producing hormones and my brain wasn’t even halfway to being fully formed? When mommy packed my lunch and I was in daily contact with my community through schooling? Thats the last time things were good for me
And some ways of framing it push a modicum of guilt onto the audience for being turned off by all the intangibles (and tangibles), but like, what other plan was there? I don’t wish that the game had been good, I wish they didn’t make it. It is so fundamentally misdirected.
I know it’s sad in a way but it’s hard to see it that way. Devs worked hard? Yeah, they worked hard to make a really bad idea come to life. Nobody in charge was invested in making something good. That’s how it looks. Spending a bunch of money just to spend it. What it feels like is waste.
Highguard got shut down lol
Sorry, this cover art is frying my ass rn
They were not right in any major way that I wasn’t already right in. Their rightness was an indeterminate factor and they weren’t even particularly good at being right
Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Markwayne Mullin is like a cruel name a british novelist would come up with for a very stupid american character who would crash his car into a gas station or something
A great budget option is good, I’ve always liked the idea of a chromebook, but come on people need 16. This is not looking good for avoiding a future where end user computers are pure terminals for datacenter-based work.
Oh my god the macbook chromebook only has 8gb of RAM. Even the nicer model. Oh what a nightmare

If Master Chief was at Jurassic Park it wouldn't have gone down like that.
