  • I finally managed to get into Breath of the Wild the other night after getting it on launch day and never enjoying it. I played 9 hours solid, then had to go to work for a few days, so I’m looking forward to going home more than usual.

    Other than that, there’s the seemingly endless hunt for my last 3 Monster Hunter World achievements (only ~480 hours in, so I’m doing ok). Also, I’ve finally got around to trying Suicide Squad, and I kinda dig it so far. Just gotta clear my plate a bit for the PC release of FF16 in a few weeks, but I can almost guarantee I’ll be too stuck into either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom to play it.











  • He’s whitewashing Jones, they’ve worked together a lot. There’s a podcast called Knowledge Fight that goes into detail on the Alex Jones Show and examines exactly how and why he’s lying about things, they have a thousand multi-hour episodes and still can’t cover everything he does because he puts out so much crap. They went back through the months following Sandy Hook episode by episode to look at how Alex’s narrative changed over time.

    Greenwald has popped up on the show a lot. I don’t remember the specific interview you’re talking about but I am sure I know exactly how it went. That whole documentary was bullshit, it just presents everything Alex says as fact and doesn’t examine any of it. Every appearance Jones has made anywhere recently has been him spouting the same points to defend himself and nobody ever pushes back because he’s not going to work with someone who actually wants the truth. It’ll be just like when he was let back on Twitter and was in a live conversation with Musk, who just allowed him to lie to his face when previously he had refused to let him back on the platform over this stuff, because controversy and attention is how these people make money.

    Greenwald may be right here because he seems to give a shit about this topic, and he may even have been a decent journalist once, but I can’t trust anything he says or does ever again.



  • While you’re right that you can befriend them and they’ll remember you, our magpies aren’t corvids afaik. I used to bring plain cashews as part of my lunch and the local magpies were obsessed with them. There was one that would run along behind me whenever I walked outside, and she even followed me into buildings a few times.
