  • There’s a machinist I watch on YouTube that took a small hiatus and came back significantly more patriotic. He actually started to begin all his videos with the pledge of allegiance and I seriously thought he went off the MAGA deep end.

    He eventually sat down and made a video about the sudden change: he said he hates the way that people nowadays claim to love America yet seek out to destroy the fundamental things that made it the way it is. He said the hardest working, most exemplary Americans he knows are the ones that came here from another country to make a better life for their family and community, and being a true patriotic American is lifting up your brothers and sisters through hard work and respect, to make our lives and our country a better place.

    THAT is what patriotism looks like.



  • I’ve noticed that almost everyone is either cold or rude to their assistants and prompts, and it’s actually a little concerning with the psychological implications. I always say please and thank you to the chat bots, same with the one or two times I messed around with GPT. It just feels like the right thing to do.













  • I really liked Tetris DS. The retro NES graphics and remixed music was a fantastic love letter to those old games, and the songs were pretty damn good to boot. It was also the version of Tetris I was best at, for some reason I was a lot better with the old, flat, firm DS Phat buttons more than any other console. I forgot what level I got to in Endless but it was probably over 500. Multiplayer was also a hoot, with powerups and you could play with 9 other people that didn’t even need the game to play. (Remember those days when you didn’t have to all have a copy of the game to play together? What a concept!)

    Highly recommend if you want to emulate it!
