The thing I don't get about January 6th is the GOP presenting itself as the law and order party but apparently also being alright with a mob storming the seat of power? You cannot have it both ways. "Violence and riots are bad, except when it's our supporters doing it, then it's fine." is not a law & order position.

The thing I will never understand is people giving their money to these folks.

Indy 4 was terrible. I have no interest in Indy 5.

A 3D remake (in the Fallout 4 engine) of the original game is being made by some modders.

Okay I'm now convinced he actually does want to destroy it, and is just having fun by acting like a troll to the leftover staff in the process. The thing I do not get is his desire to burn $44 billion in record time and to tarnish his reputation in the process. There are some rumblings online that Musk is actually doing this at the behest of some super-wealthy parties that want to get rid of Twitter and that he won't be holding the entire $44 billion bag when the music ends.

Yeah but there is a huge difference between not liking a company and spending 44 billion to buy it just to destroy it.

No company could survive gutting 85% of its workforce. At least no serious company.

I thought the idea that Musk had bought Twitter just to destroy it was too absurd to be true. It is getting increasingly hard to make sense of what he is doing if that was not his ultimate goal.

There are other reports out there that suggest that the remaining number of twitter employees is not under 1000. It is closer to under 300. If that is remotely true then twitter is already a zombie site/app.

Seems like 75% of remaining staff rejected Musk's "Hardcore" Twitter. If that number is accurate he doesn't even have 1000 employees left. Remember that 7000 people worked there before the takeover. Entire departments are now gone. Site is now probably living on borrowed time.

Interesting that we are going to get adaptations of two of the more funny game series I played: Fallout and also Borderlands.

Well to be fair Bethesda has always been a bit janky. To some it's part of their appeal. So I never was bothered by the lack of polish in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. I thought the writing was the biggest issue with Fallout 4. Just no truly compelling main quest lines. Perhaps the Railroad was the most interesting of the ones you could choose from but that seemed to have fewer big quests. I liked the settlement game dynamic but that was a bit of a side-show (and also got repetitive).

Yeah, a series not really known for its humor.

My main issue with it is Jonathan Nolan. A staple of the series - right back to its pre-Bethesda origins with the original Interplay game - has been its dark sense of humor. Whereas I don't think Nolan does comedy well. And I especially doubt he will nail Fallout's specific tone.

It's funny how they always choose a terrible picture of Pete Davidson whenever he has a new conquest.

People are shocked at this but he is actually a much better choice of rebound guy than Brad Pitt (who she was also being linked with).

VS bought Adore Me, didn't they? I hope it doesn't mean they are going to start using their own art direction team on the Adore Me shoots.

It will be interesting to see what happens. Supposedly Murdoch has informed Trump he will no longer back another run at the WH. I will say that for all his faults, I like Trump a lot more than DeSantis. Who seems to be the figure the GOP leadership is now rallying around to Trump's detriment.

Russian rockets land in a Polish town near the Ukrainian border. Two people dead. Probably won't trigger article 5 but Poland might ask for measures under article 4.
