Bad news, guys. Napolean Bonaparte died yesterday. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleo...
I would like a fake Facebook and Twitter that I can redirect boomers to. It's only nice and positive things. I fucking hate AI, as you know, but I think this might be a net positive.
I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.
Speaking of Simcity 2000, check out @shinkazevt.live's project sc2kfix. They are fixing old bugs, making it perform better and have added modding abilities. sc2kfix.net

NYT tech reporter sings the praises of Meta Muse. It can do everything for you! Even set your fantasy football lineups! My dude... you know that's called "cognitive surrender," right? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/22/t...
There should be more serious electronics that come in cartoon form. Wouldn’t mind a rackmount minion, though.
People think the minions router being baller as a joke. But I have extensively tested it and it is one of the best possible Wifi 6E routers money can buy. Like someone at Illumination Studios was like "idk $80" and the router manufacturer was like gotchu fam.
In the water wars, Montana is going to keep all its water. Which is handy because I live here.
Ohhhh you guys done messed up by giving me a perfect opportunity to bring up Watershed Democracy, the idea that government delineations should be drawn along watersheds. I like to augment this with some notion of city-states, but otherwise the major watersheds should be the "states."
