Big difference between Neo-Cons and the alt-right, though.

I walk practically every day in front of a boba tea shop. Never seen someone go in it, or even clerks behind the counter. The shop is open until 10pm every day.

S-silk… S-silk…

I’m from Italy as well. I always like to remember a quote from Charles Mingus, who at some point in his career had an entire black band with the exception of his sax player, Charlie Mariano. When asked about it, he answered something along of the lines of “He’s not white, he’s Italian.”

While it’s true that “all elections are won on lies spewed by the parties”, it’s always a matter of context. The media landscape of the past 10 years has both shrunk and inflated at the same time: centralized social media now overwhelmingly represent the main source of information from which people read news and shape their views of the world. The fact that some of those social media have more or less explicitly stated their affiliation to some sort of government which might make their interests offers a worrying scenario: in one case, the state can require the manipulation of information so as to steer the results of election towards governments that might create strategic geopolitical tension or sweetened deals (i.e. China and TikTok). On the other, through the “loaning” of centralized social media to the highest bidder can create enormous echo chambers which corrupt the results only for symbiontic, growing entanglement of social media corporations into forms of government (i.e. Elon Musk in 2024).

Tl;Dr: Social media are a bigger problem than good old politicians’ lies because they can be easily manipulated by external forces and because everyone uses them.

just open a window, my dude.

Luigi / Duck Hunt. What the hell does that mean?

I don’t think Grohl has played for QotSA in well over a decade now. Their current drummer is Jon Theodore of Mars Volta fame, iirc.

challenge level: impossible

Boilen has already moved on and retired at the end of 2023 iirc.

…aaaaaaaaand off it goes once again.

Putting the clown makeup on once again…

It was really fun and up until the endgame it stroke that perfect balance between difficulty and reward. There’s a definitive “oh shit!” moment when you start to see what it’s really all about and I hadn’t had One of those in a while

I just finished playing Tunic, by way of booking up on the internet some of the last puzzles because my head was starting to hurt. Now it’s all a matter about what to start next: I have to choose between Pentiment on my PC or Ori and the Will of Wisps on the Switch.

resting before baking…

ham?

alternatively, sauce.

Bob Dylan’s 151st Dream and its false start will never not make me laugh.

Je ne suis pas français donc tu dois considérer mes mots, mais je crois que au moins pour Polanski, la France a été à sa défense parce que on croyait que son procès aux États-Unis allait devenir un procès politique et injuste (même face à la terrible nature du crime de Polanski). Je ne sais pas pour les autres noms, mais je crois que la France ait décidé de devenir la patrie de la démocratie, comme tu dis, en établissant soi-même comme une autorité internationale où on essaye de protéger tout coupable d’un procès injuste. 🤷‍♂️
