What’s the Marxist take on this?

Is this actually good for western-aligned capitalists? Are they in it for the long con where they take a hit now but can clean up later when a desperate populace sells their homes to BlackRock and allows the reintroduction of indentured servitude in order to afford eggs? Or are the losing factions big and powerful enough to reverse this aberration?

Is your second maybe the Chuck Close? The subject looks like Chuck Close’s favorite subject, Chuck Close.

I just read it like “I beat Thailand. The end guy is hard” until just now. Ugh. Still don’t know if this will keep me from watching the finale.

Awful open source phone games (not that open source is necessarily bad; I’ve just had shit luck).

I am looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 and was so jazzed that the trailer showed no significant changes to gameplay.

I was there a few months ago and fancied a drink after midnight. I didn’t need a maps app; just followed the sound of drunken Br*tish.

I think everyone who’s familiar with a challenging task can see how AI isn’t ready to replace the people who do it now. The sensible response to this realization is to generalize to other fields and infer that AI will be shit at them, too. The asshole response is to conclude that AI can excel everywhere outside of one’s own field.

Bonus: use it on this one.

If they stop the checks, we really will see direct action from boomers and it won’t even require doing anything outside of their comfort zones. They’ll pack a cooler, put the grill in the back of the SUV, get on the highway and stop. It will take small numbers to stop entire highways with no coordination required outside of the concept being out there. If there are 20 pissed-off boomers next to a highway between two consecutive exits, that section of highway will be a tailgate party. It really will be a they-can’t-arrest-us-all scenario. Hell, even if they did, they’d then need to tow the cars away. What’s the tow-truck-to-boomer ratio? Hell, how many of those tow trucks are boomer-owned and will be towing heavy obstacles onto the highways instead of protest vehicles off of them?

I sleep with my eyes open 24/7.
