Bold of you to assume they ever plan on leaving. He’s already handing out Trump 2028 hats and Bannon is just doing media interviews telling everyone he isn’t leaving.

You don’t tear down an entire wing from one of the most (symbolically) important buildings in the country just to throw parties for a couple years and then leave.

    Cameras drastically curb speeding at San Francisco's most dangerous intersections in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

    We have a bunch around Chicago too. There are two zones around where I live that have them, and in both places people absolutely do slow down now. There might be a catch-22 for the city in terms of on-going revenue though—once people learn to slow down in those areas, I would imagine ticket revenue from those cameras drop. But saving lives is never a bad outcome.

    If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
    [–] 3 points 1 year ago (1 child)

    I’ve seen headlines where some CEO (usually in tech) had the self-awareness to tell their workforce that AI is coming for everyone’s jobs, “including mine.” So at least some of them know it.

    Substack promoted a Nazi blog again (www.usermag.co)
     

    Substack sent a push alert encouraging users to subscribe to a Nazi newsletter that claimed Jewish people are a sickness and that we must eradicate minorities to build a “White homeland.”

    This has been a problem for years: Substack has a Nazi problem - The Atlantic

    Substack won’t commit to removing Nazi content - TechCrunch

    I don’t think this can be ignored anymore. If you’re on Substack, please consider one of its many fine alternatives. Wired wrote about a few last year.

    Plus, it’s quite easy to move a newsletter these days.

    Points of No Return in Games - Daryl Talks Games (www.youtube.com)
     

    Daryl's a good essayist and, in my opinion, this one hits a little different, probably even for people who aren't into video games.

    It explores our anxiety and how we handle reaching the end of a game, story... and other things in life.

    If you have just under 24 hours minutes to spare, I think it's worth your time.

    Edit: No idea why the YouTube summary text in this post seems to be in German; it is an all-English video.

    Just rediscovered this great little Sandbox Beach Cafe along the Lakefront Trail, just south of Fullerton (lemmy.world)
     

    Nice little place with ~ 8 tables and a basic menu of hotdogs, tamales, chips, guacamole,etc. Usually every table has umbrellas but a few blew away in that crazy storm a couple weeks ago. Shari, the nice owner, is working on replacing them. AFAIK, this is about as close to the water you can get with a table and some beach grub.

    Looking for theme to do “personal landing page” and blogging (lemmy.world)
     

    I want to redesign my personal site around two things:

    1 - Home page will be a personal landing page, like those “link in bio” tools to show people where you have accounts on social media, newsletters, etc. (such as https://bio.link/. I can share a basic personal page I’ve set up there but I don’t know if that’s allowed here)

    2 - A decent blog experience, mainly for writing, sharing news links, and art I like (both personal and found)

    Anyone know of a theme that tackles these two? I’m coming up empty handed with ThemeForest and Template Monster, even when trying variations of these keywords.

    Thanks

    Ando San - Dash Out (bassist + rapper) (www.youtube.com)
     

    The algorithm just brought this bassist + rapper to me and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. Crazy talented. And is that a 7-string bass??

    Here’s a bonus video with a different vibe. I’m really digging it. He also has some good tapping tracks.

    Edit: Turns out it’s an 8-string guitar, 2 of which are bass strings to cater to this kind of playstyle. Wild!

    What was your first intentionally bad movie, and what were the circumstances? I'll go first: Cube (lemmy.world)
     

    My friends from the fencing team in a Milwaukee, WI suburban catholic high school were bored. We wanted to watch a movie, but didn’t want to spend theater prices. So we went to Blockbuster (!!) in search of something…. else.

    No, not that you gooner.

    We invented the rules on the car ride there:

    • None of us could have seen or even be aware of the movie
    • None of us can recognize any of the main actors in the film
    • Sci-fi or fantasy since those seemed to have the cheese we wanted

    As we strolled along the shelves where most patrons don’t bother, there it was. Like a (scuffed) diamond in the rough: Cube

    And it was glorious. lol

    Bonus points: Two friends and I moved out to Denver, CO in the middle of college to go snowboarding and finish school (in that order). One of us became a manager at Blockbuster right at the beginning of the switch from VHS to DVDs. For whatever reason, his store started with the least rented titles they had, and their solution was to just throw all the VHS in the garbage.

    One day he just showed up from work with ~ 4 or 5 huge garbage bags filled to the brim with the crappiest VHS films Blockbuster deemed unworthy to return to a distributor.

    Around a week later he did it again.

    It was the absolute (free!) jackpot of gloriously bad films.
