this is remembered like a blooper, a genius in a moment of incoherent drunk rambling. contemporaneous with the previous years of interrogation of the failures of the american political horizon, i interpreted this as the unleashed id of the most plugged in brain of his generation.
Every midterm election reminds me of the greatest moment in twitch history during the 2018 Chapo stream

you can forgive him for the buddhist turn after the fall of 2020, i'm not sure anyone has had more sustained exposure to the void at the heart of 21st century western communism, including tronti and mike davis whose last communications were indistinguishable from suicide notes.

and what else would you call the subsequent situation where so many leading left intellectuals short circuited into workerist tailism in lieu of a better idea before finding absolutely nothing there but the dark heart of the labor aristocracy. and now they've evaporated.

we don't routinely get racial crosstabs in canadian polling but bradford must have carried 75 percent of white people

i have spent 30 years trying and failing to operate a conventional can opener. if it wasn't for the starfrit corporation and the little beaver can opener i would still be cutting them open with a knife.
A guy left his YouTube logged in on the Airbnb’s TV and we went through his history. When we got to these I almost threw up from laughing so hard.

I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

if it comes out that lula finally did the right thing and rigged the election i would have a lot more respect for him
Is this shaping up to be one of the biggest prediction market whiffs of all time?

it's brazen to do this simply from the perspective of the extradition proceedings of fergie chambers, but the spanish government has also violated the privacy of anyone who might have been communicating with fergie, none of whom have any recourse under spanish or european law
🚨 “Chambers’s legal team discovered that [Fergie’s] phone was no longer in the custody of the national court in Madrid and had been turned over to the FBI…” Where is the law? Apparently, no where to be found in this case of political persecution. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

bad news for sony: lost consumer goodwill with arrogance about disc support and lost control of ps5 security infrastructure such that it's basically just a pc with the ability to natively play pirated games good news for sony: i have purchased my first playstation in 24 years

i assume they are on the horn right now with the finest minds in tel aviv figuring out a way to force update 100 million consoles with malware through a bluetooth handshake or a dualshock pairing

for me it was fortuitous timing having figured out that my offline series x experiment simply doesn't work and that there is no legitimate way to permanently retain access to purchased games or dev mode access. if i can plug in any xinput to a jailbroken ps5 i'll do that instead.

one thing younger people aren't going to know about how most people played games in the era before online stores is that you often rented them first. if you knew someone who owned 20 games, that was remarkable. when you have four hours to impress a player, gameplay is paramount.
Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

bethesda and rockstar being so successful naturally drew imitators and it wasn't a stupid impulse, but most game types do not benefit from narrative or asset depth. this was figured out by the mid 10s, but all it did was shift the staffing and complexity to graphical fidelity.
