  1. What's wild is that it's not even a focus for Fox News either, but I'm assuming the issue there is that he isn't brown enough to tick the right boxes on their outrage machine. Either that or it was too close to the last shooting and they don't want their viewers to think mass shootings are an issue in this country.
  2. Probably because they both went on shooting sprees. I'm actually not sure if the Atlanta shooter is technically a mass murder either. Mass shootings usually involve shooting around four or more people as you can in as short a time as possible. I guess the Atlanta shooter might count here. These two guys ran around and shot one person here, one person there, and so on. Like, they're all terrible people, but they likely won't show up listed below... https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting Oh, hey look, 15 people shot in Chicago eleven days ago. At least 15 people shot, 2 killed in mass shooting on South Side - Chicago Monitor CHICAGOMONITOR.COM CHICAGO — At least 15 people were shot at a party Sunday morning in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, leaving at least two people dead, according to police. Police say 39-year-old Lionel... I didn't know about that one...or the 8 in Dallas this past Saturday... Dallas Police Identify Jonathanlacory Rogers As Suspect In Deadly Shooting At Pryme Bar Nightclub DFW.CBSLOCAL.COM Police said Rogers, 21, is wanted for murder and seven counts of aggravated assaults with a deadly weapon. I guess the are so many of them in the US, they don't make national news unless more than a few people die.
  3. I don't think responding to that tweet is working out very well for Amazon. Amazon denies stories of workers peeing in bottles, receives a flood of evidence in return WWW.THEVERGE.COM Amazon fails to hold back the tide.
  4. Will NYPD now be stopped from harassing folks because they smell marijuana? I wonder what excuse cops come up with next when they can no longer lean on "I smell weed".
  5. Facebook has tens of thousands of human moderators that deal with shit worse than what is already out in the open. The secret lives of Facebook moderators in America WWW.THEVERGE.COM "I’m fucked up." The stuff with white supremacists and Nazis are just allowed because they have high engagement and isn't technically illegal.
  6. Their AI can handle it fine. They specifically don't want it too. It's just that simple. Internal teams at Facebook have figured this out over and over again, only to have Zuck squash it.
  7. Sounds like this will wind up going through a few hurdles while Sony explains how Netflix and Amazon are their chief anime competitors. The Justice Department is worried about an anime monopoly after the Sony deal WWW.THEVERGE.COM Anime is yet another place where streaming services are competing Nobody else is airing anime simulcasts outside of Funimation and Crunchyroll, so that's not great. That only changes if Netflix decides to offer some anime simulcasts the way they've opened up to the idea with a few other foreign dramas.
  8. Sorry, yeah, the Homestar projector was also cheaper on Amazon Japan than in the US. Looks like it'll be the same for the Astro Mini. Good to know all the menus are in English. This week look nice next to my Mini Neo Geo.
  9. If it's just a packaging difference then I'll just do that. Amusingly, the last thing I bought on Amazon Japan was another Sega toy. In that case, though, it was one of their Homestar planetarium projectors for my kids. Still cheaper to buying it from here in the US.
  10. SEGA Astro City Mini LIMITEDRUNGAMES.COM This item has not gone on sale yet. It will be available on Friday, March 26th at 10AM Eastern Time. The Astro City Mini is a functional miniature version of the full-sized arcade cabinet that goes by the same name, and it includes 37 playable games. The Mini features a built-in LCD screen, but if you’re interested in There are only 3500 of them and they go on sale starting the 26th. I fully expect to not be able to buy one when they wind up in scalpers' hands come 10:01AM ET on Friday.
  11. St. Martin de Porres School: White headmaster placed on leave after telling a Black student to kneel and apologize 'the African way' - CNN AMP.CNN.COM The White headmaster of a Catholic school on Long Island has been placed on leave following reports that he had a Black student kneel in apology last month, calling it "the African way" to apologize.
  12. "He was taking a bad day" needs to be added. You can swap that in for "Loved comedies".
  13. If you thought the CGI was inconsistent, then it's probably a good thing you didn't watch it at 120fps.
  14. Gwyneth Paltrow has said she'd do the odd cameo here and there, but has no interest in anything greater than that. Gwyneth Paltrow says she's willing to be in another Marvel movie — if she can film it in 'a day or two' WWW.INSIDER.COM Don't expect a Pepper Potts standalone movie anytime soon. Gwyneth Paltrow only wants "small" appearances in the MCU going forward. Either way, Tony's money is all with Stark Enterprise and his widow. I'm sure if Falcon asked, he could probably get Pepper to help him out, but I also don't think he's looking for a handout. He shouldn't have to be a charity case. Like @NeoJoe said, there's no way Captain America doesn't get that loan approved.
  15. The obvious answer is money. Someone thinks it'll make a lot of money and probably not cost a whole lot to make. Also, physical humor and people being stupid translates pretty well, so it'll be a comedy that might not be stuck in the English-speaking world. Dumb and Dumber To, for instance, made like half its money internationally.
  16. Here's my take. I completely trust 2021 Jim Carrey to be able to turn the character around and make him not problematic and even possibly very progressive. There would have to be some strong retconning here. At the same time, any sequel will just bring attention to the previous two entries and nothing good can come from there. Unless Carrey pulls a Chappelle and demands every outlet drop the previous films from streaming, a sequel here isn't a good idea.
  17. He was the only thing good is that movie. If the sequel was mainly him on Sonic's home planet, I'd be fine with that. Jim Carrey is such a good actor. He's always been the highlight of pretty much any movie he's in, whether good or bad. I'm always down for more of him in anything, though I'd really prefer something I'd actually be willing to watch twice and not something I watch once out of morbid curiosity.
  18. The touch bar still sucks, so that is perfectly valid. Changing volume still requires a press and then a swipe. I also can't figure out who would ever use the autocorrect on the touchbar. Either way, I only heard the fan coming on when I'm running a Linux VM. If it's on any other times, it's either running so slow it's inaudible or my kids are just too loud. This is the opposite of my last Macbook that ran so hot so often and often sounds like a jet. Apple is REALLY bad at keeping their laptops cool in the name of slim with hidden vents. This CPU just runs cooler than Intel. I was more concerned with the life of the CPU with worse cooling than getting more speed of of Apple's M1. That's the only reason I have a Pro over the Air.
  19. It's 100% a colonial thing. Everywhere white Europeans settled/enslaved/conquered, we see issues like colorism or problems with natural hair remain generations later. That's not by accident. Indigenous and native people don't just randomly start hating their own skin color or hair texture out of nowhere. That comes from generations of outside influence.
  20. They should be, but Godzilla has changed so much over the years I think the better answer is that it's best not to think too hard about it. Godzilla went from regular dinosaur that was accidentally hit, scarred, and given super powers by a US nuclear bomb to Godzilla has always been, sleeping at the bottom of the ocean, feeding on the Earth's natural radiation. I think nowadays, Godzilla is absorbing radiation so she shouldn't be exuding it. Her atomic breath should totally leave a deadly amount of radiation behind, though.
  21. I don't have the Air, but I do have the M2 Pro with 8GB of RAM which is pretty much just the Air with a fan. Either way, I like it. Like the Surface Pro X, I'm just shocked at how well these machines emulate x86 applications. I think I'll give Apple the win here for quality of emulation, but everything I've downloaded on the Mac side has been from the store other than Parallels and that's a native M1 app. It's the complete opposite on Windows. Also, I had trouble flashing an FPGA from the M1 Mac Pro, but had zero trouble doing the same on the Surface X. Weird little things that affect all of like five people. Battery life is solid and I really appreciate his quickly this thing wakes up from sleep. It's fast enough that you'll question whether the laptop actually ever did go to sleep. I actually haven't really messed with much in the east of MY native apps other than Parallels. That was mostly because I was curious to know if it would show emulation of an ARM-based OS. Huzzah for the whole three people out there in the world that care. You can totally run Ubuntu Server for ARM in Parallels on an M1 Mac with no trickier. It just runs fully native. It's a great little laptop.
  22. The only time I want spent on humans in a Godzilla movie is when they're super tiny and singing.
  23. Better question. Could this actually be good with a good editor?
