  1. Tycho at Penny Arcade took the "Anthropic shredding millions of books" thing real personally, and talks in his column today about how AI slop is drowning his mother in sadness:

  2. [P] I don't often read Penny Arcade, but sometimes I check in, and Tycho's sesquipedaliantry about capitalism caught my eye. "We're living in a shooting gallery for oligarchs." No, Tycho, these idiots have no innate power. The neuroenshittified majority—via festering hypersocial hiverarchy—fashioned the shooting gallery and gave it to them. They worshipfully lavished upon them the loaded crossbows and painted the targets.

  3. A huge old-timey penny arcade in Yorkshire
    It's hard to believe, but an "arcade" didn't used to mean video games. Across "the pond," to trade in ludicrous understatement, in "old blighty," there is an amazing collection of old-style mechanical machines. Northern Introvert has an 'alf-hour video exploration of them that makes for fascinating viewi

  4. Some 22+ years ago I made a webcome with a couple guys online. Ajay Fry of Canadian television hosting fame and Porkfry of Penny-Arcade and Taco creation fame. I wanted to make a quick comic about our old comic.

    I really wish I could reach out to the guys again and somehow get this sent to them just as a little token of my appreciation. So I know this is a long shot but if anyone knows of a way to get in touch with Porkfry/Greg or at least has an email (his old domain is expired so I don't have an email for him anymore) I'd greatly appreciate it. He wasn't much in the way of a "new" social media user so...who knows.

  8. I 💙 the show, Reacher, but I’ve been saving season 3 as I had been on a rewatch of all 3 seasons of Daredevil (and Defenders) to prep for Daredevil: Born Again. All that said, I have watched the trailers for season 3 and got this general premise, but this #PennyArcade strip gave me a chuckle this morning…

  9. There are those comics where you can tell the #PennyArcade guys are just genuinely happy while making the comic. Today feels like one of those days 😃

  10. "I once listened to a podcast where two people younger than me tried to understand what selling out even meant, and ultimately they determined that it didn't actually mean anything. This may be the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled."

    Damn. Tycho's observations on the world often resonate with me in a way that I wish they didn't.
