If, like me, you often end up on a fan-made wiki when looking things up for a video game, book, or TV series, here is another reason to hate “genAI”: aggressive AI scrapers are making it kinda suck to run wikis

I reached the end of season 01 of Star Trek: The Next Generation! Fun times! But who the hell put some “body snatchers”-style conspiracy and gore in my Star Trek? I mean, I like it a lot, but it was clearly too hastily made. Should have, at the very least, been a two-part episode IMHO.

Apparently it’s time for stupid American centrism to come for genAI takes.

Listen, it’s OK to find your own nuanced position on the topic, but if your thesis is “mmmh actually both sides are too extreme”, you can fuck off into the sun.

“You got a real attitude problem, Prince Adam! You’re a slacker! No Prince has amounted to anything in the whole history of Eternia!”

Now that I’ve watched “Masters of the Universe” (1987), I’m totally going to adopt “I’ll be there in half a chromon” and “this will be ready in a preton” as normal things to say.

I finally watched “Masters of the Universe” (1987) and holy shit! It’s so bad in so many ways that it’s actually quite impressive. Probably one of the best “popcorn & laughs” movies out there. To think Moebius and Frank Langella were involved in this. Anyway, the post credits scene is horrifying.

“Sherlock Holmes Villain Moriarty Crime Series in the Works”: superhero movies and stories with “bad guy isn’t actually THAT bad” will continue until billionaires are seen as the people who can legitimately lead society.

“Steven Guilbeault says climate change a generation-defining fight as he quits Liberal Party”: It’s going to be funny when more and more MPs jump the lines and, 10 years later, the Liberals are basically the new Conservatives, and the Greens are the new NDP. Or something.

It’s always annoying when some rare early edition of a well-known TTRPG surfaces, but it goes up for crazy prices on eBay. Hopefully Chaosium can do another “Classic Kickstarter” for that one?
