Letterkenny intensifies

Ok Elon

The last known photo of Chester Bennington is him smiling and surrounded by his family.

Your coworker needs help.

When the rich figured out that our innate tribalism could be weaponized to distract us from their abuse, lawlessness, and greed.

This is a travesty of travical proportions and I am currently drafting a class action lawsuit against Gabe Newell

You might be surprised at how well indie publications can do. Look at Second Wind, they have a bunch of writers and video folks all funded AFAIK through Patreon.

SkillUp’s channel has done so well he’s hired on two more people to make videos and just launched their own site with multiple writers. In fact they just hired another columnist, all reader and viewer funded through Patreon (and directly through the site too, I think).

There are other outlets thriving in the indie gaming journalism and review space too, all most if not entirely reader funded. It’s working.

It’s real baybeeeeeee Sep 4! I’m only a little excited

Jokes on them, there won’t be anyone around to watch it. Everyone on the planet took off work to play Silksong

No, I think Forsaken (Dreaming City) is the oldest content still in the game. If you want to see the old campaign I’m sure there are playthroughs on YouTube you could watch.

I use 1Blocker. Pretty good

Good, the game needs some fresh leadership. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that on the same day they announced this, Bungie also announced that all previous season passes will soon return to a kiosk in-game and you can finish them at any time (yes like the Helldivers model). Plus, players who never got the pass before will be able to buy them for a pretty reasonable price (around $6 USD I believe).

Rated X, for Xenomorph

Nintendo is so anachronistic at this point how has it not pulled a Thanos and turned to dust

Unfortunately popular newsletter service that also puts your issues online to look like a blog. Has a lot of startup capital behind it so they’ve been paying some of their largest writers on top of subscriber revenue.

Big “marketplace of ideas” idiots who have allowed a lot of white supremacist and - as this and other situations exemplify - straight up Nazi content.

So was Twitter way back in the day (I’m talking ~ 2006 when I still worked in tech news). In a similar way, I think it’s up to us canaries early adopters to help them learn.

There was a time when no one knew how to @ someone and the pound sign was still known as the pound sign. People learned (and yes, platforms got much better and more polished). They can learn again. But we teachers need patience and kindness when helping them.

Ghost can be self-hosted. Even WordPress these days has newsletter and payment systems that sound fairly easy to drop in.

I ended the post with a link to Wired about alternatives

Yeah, like someone please correct me if I’m wrong but the M chips are doing this without a big fat heavyloud separate GFX card—it’s just a lil’ CPU SoC. I’m impressed.
