This seems to be fueling everyone's confirmation bias. The Gallup poll[1] shows a four year decline since 2020. I mean, I don't know what would have happened in 2020 to precipitate this /s. Preceding that was a decade of impr

This may be the wrong take-away, but the Air Force shooting your balloon down would be a massive source of pride for the science clubs I remember from my youth. We would have had that on a t-shirt within a week.

What? Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie wasn't enough for you? I kid. Every 40K fan wants this, but it almost feels like hubris to hope it actually happens. I have to wonder if the Amazon deal[1] is Games Workshop's attempt t

I was a tabletop gamer for 25 years before I played my first sit-down D&D session. GURPS, Paranoia, Cyberpunk 2020, WHFRP, TOON, Amber, World of Darkness...you name it. To say, "Wizards of the Coast wants to dismantle the tabletop

How so? Do you mean the caricature has been co-opted by far-right activists and provocateurs[1] to promote antisemitism while hiding behind a flimsy defense of ironic trolling? Or do you mean that in the past decade the Internet has come to

I feel like stupid is at least quantifiable. We just tolerate a lot of stupid.

This tweet is in reply to Musk's revelation that Apple has stopped advertising on Twitter[1] while making an assertion that it must be because "they hate free speech in America". This puts Apple in the same free speech hating

Jalopnik had an article supposing Musk’s Hyperloop was just a ploy to subvert California's high-speed rail project.[1] Hanlon's razor seems applicable here, but that's not necessarily more flattering for Boring. Seems like a

The timing makes this look like a reaction to Musk firing Twitter engineers for criticizing him on social media[1]. It seems like a thinly veiled loyalty test instead of a marshaling the troops for the rough road ahead. The lowest performi

In contrast to what, the impartial journalism of the past[1]? It doesn't serve well to surrender your worldview to the journalistic authority over truth any more today than it did then. But now, articles like the TechDirt post are extr

The Elon-Twitter saga is fascinating in quasi r/ABoringDystopia meets, well, Twitter sort of way. The stage is set with a billionaire doubling down on a meme and then stumbling into an absurd $45B baby trap. The Internet loves watching

The FTC decree isn't related to free speech. It was a part of a settlement the FTC reached with Twitter regarding their mishandling of customer data[1]. The original article is anticipating a messy collision Twitter's legal obliga

I have to imagine Facebook and Uber had a few lawyers and one paid $4.9B in fines and the other's former-CSO is now awaiting sentencing on an obstruction of justice conviction. The interesting proposition here is that Twitter could hav

Eighteen-percenter here. Made the decision the next car was going to be all-electric. Ended up going with a Chevrolet Bolt EUV. Prices are already competing with gas (compare 2023 All-Electric Bolt EV with, say, a 2023 Honda Civic Sedan) ev

I dunno. 600 grand feels like such an obviously unrealistic amount to spend I automatically assume there's no in-game expectation that a player should _actually_ hit that goal. Would it be less worrisome if the game "only" re

Hard to say, their job listings[1] don't include the salary. Their listings do say "All salaries are transparent within the company and are set above local market rates," so maybe all it takes is one high cost of living hire

Lenore paused. She stared wistfully out the window and thought of the third graders she watched earlier in the day, "What would it take to give every one of them a nice, sharp pin?" Yeah, maybe shoo her away from the playground.

Reading this article feels like I'm stuck at a dinner party repeating, "That's a crazy idea, man" to some techbro and they mistakenly take that as invitation to keep talking.

When did a paid subscription to a periodical become synonymous with advertising? That said, I hope they support video soon so I can get rid of that annoying NetflixHBOHuluDisney+ paywall.

Similar situation. I would suggest installing an implant that needs to be re-armed every month or so, and if not it releases some toxin that causes a natural-seeming shutdown. [1] No, wait, that's _insane_. What the hell is wrong with
