- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 launched when it did because its devs wanted it "out the door" says CD Projekt Red CEO, but I wonder if he forgot about that reported mandatory crunch 53 minutes ago:
"Republishing the lies of the powerful" also describes most history.
- Comment on Futuristic mosquito-zapping laser now available to buy, video shows device in action — tiny device shoots down bugs like a personal air defense system, but costs $1,000 2 weeks ago:
We're in the midst of a mass exstinction that's crippling insect populations which are a vital part of the foodchain.
Anything that reduces the biomass of insects is probably a bad idea. A $1000 party toy that also reduces the biomass of insects is definitely a bad idea.

- Comment on 'Pure Incitement': Google Allows Israeli Sponsored Propaganda Aimed at Global Sumud Flotilla 11 months ago:
Google has allowed the government of Israel to purchase sponsored content spots so that online users searching on the Global Sumud Flotilla will be shown inaccurate, propagandized content accusing the flotilla particpants as being allied with violent, terrorist elements.

Maybe next they'll claim that bombing peace activists is ten times more effective than ozempic?
