@cspam oh yes, exactly what I thought!
@Catvalente on a lighter note - I remember “borrowing” my sister’s Barbies to join GI-Joe and (another character that may not be PC) so I could enact a game of world-series-cricket.

In 2000, Elon Musk tried to rebrand PayPal as X.com, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel.
Now he’s doing the same to Twitter, but is surrounded by sycophants who can’t tell him it’s a bad idea.

DUNGEONS OF EKILEUGOR is a roguelike game for the VIC-20 running in a VIC-20 emulator for DOS, running in a DOSBOX emulator in the browser.
That's a lot to take in.
Twitter will officially rebrand as X later today, Elon Musk confirms https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/23/23804629/twitters-rebrand-to-x-may-actually-be-happening-soon #elonmusk #elon #twitter #twittermigration #x #tech #technews #technology #twitterexodus

Eliyahu Weinstein was convicted twice of defrauding investors of $230 million, but in 2021 Trump freed him from jail early after 8 years of a 24 year sentence.
He has only paid less than $1.7mil of $230 million in restitution owed to his victims.
Eli Weinstein is now charged in a new $35mil Ponzi scheme.
And it turns out that in 2003 he had business ties with Lev Parnas, who years later worked with Giuliani.
My latest:
Thank god for @mmasnick because I really really really didn't want to have to write an article about why #copyright is an awful way to address the harms of #AI to creative workers and now he's done it and I can just point people to his article for the next two annoying years. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/07/19/stop-rushing-to-copyright-as-a-tool-to-solve-the-problems-of-ai/
@babadookspinoza best advertising ever!
@yaakov I’m starting (we’ll, have been for a while) to wonder if I have ADHD…
Should wealthy nations in the Global North — like the US and Canada — who have benefited from decades of burning fossil fuels, be expected to pay the cost of damages from the climate crisis to poor countries in the Global South?
Anyone with a conscience probably will answer: “Yes, they should.”
But John Kerry, former US Secretary of State and now official Climate Envoy, says: "No, under no circumstances.”

What a total jerk. Although, of course, it’s not Kerry’s decision to make. He’s just following orders.
The capitalist rulers of our society have no interest in doing what’s right. All they care about is making more money — and keeping the governments they own under firm control.
