I was at a friend's house playing Utopia: The Creation of a Nation on SNES.

He warned me not to save my game, but I blanked and did anyway. Apparently there was only one save slot, so I overwrote all his previous work. There's not really anything to fess up to here, since he was sitting right there giving me the most what the fuck look a teenager can give. But for the record, I'm still sorry 30 years later, Rick.

He followed up a few days later, having continued my game, and the aliens absolutely fucked up my (our) colony almost immediately the save point. I didn't even give him a good mid-starting point to begin from.

  2. The Russian troll farms are active on Xitter.

  3. The algorithm likes engagement. The actual nazis, the trolls, and the useful idiots are only feeding each other since that's a huge portion of accounts left on that site.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem."

They recently started releasing viewing data for all shows in six months intervals.

That sounds like the report for the first half of 2023, but also has a link to the second half.

Their exact criteria will probably change depending on a number of factors, but one could look up figures for a cancelled show to get some idea of what isn't good enough.

It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?

It likes bots writing to the site, for the engagement; it doesn't like bots reading the site (for free).
