So here’s my take: I never want to play a game with other people unless we’re sitting on the same couch. Because of that, I have no need for any of my systems to be permanently connected to the internet. The requirement for always-online systems is just ridiculous. The full game should be on the disk, and the only time I should need an internet connection is to download DLC or if the dev team releases a patch that addresses major issues or improves the gameplay experience.
52-year-old Frank Zappa died of prostate cancer at his Los Angeles home, surrounded by his wife and children.

At a private ceremony the following day, Zappa was interred in an unmarked grave at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, Los Angeles.

Shockingly had to find one. I kept searching and it was modern photos or throwbacks.
Sly Stone is sentenced to fifty-five days in jail for driving under the influence of cocaine. Two weeks later he also pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine and was sentenced to spend nine to fourteen months in rehabilitation
He’s the second biggest piece of shit on earth….Trump is number 1 for those keeping score. He’s a silver spoon fuckhead that has zero touch with reality. Money can buy anything apparently in this fucked up reality and sadly my children and my children’s children will think he did great things…but, but, but they say history is written by the victors. So, I’m hoping a cutely rhymed limerick is written above his grave about him being the ultimate piece of shit
A month after Jeff Beck left a planned thirty date Dick Clark tour, The Yardbirds announce that he is no longer a member of the band. Fed up with riding on buses and playing two or three shows a night, the guitarist had a furious backstage outburst in Texas and walked out on the group.
I love TLD but have never played the actual game. I just get lost playing survival mode
Literally whatever he thinks and says, I want the exact opposite. Don’t trust the rich, especially the richest of the rich!!
The world would be so much better off if Trump’s ambitions were confined to Florida
Is this the dude Colin Farrell was designed to be as The Penguin?
You nailed it on the head—if X owns all X accounts, then X should absolutely be held liable and named as codefendants in all past and future litigation where content posted on X is used in the suit. By asserting ownership over the accounts, X is effectively taking on a level of responsibility for the platform's use and misuse, akin to how a publisher is held liable for the content it distributes.
This raises serious implications for legal accountability. If X claims ownership, they are asserting control, and with control comes liability. They can't just cherry-pick the benefits of owning the accounts (like monetization, data, and influence) without accepting the risks, including being dragged into lawsuits where harmful, defamatory, or illegal content originates from their platform.
It would also set a precedent for greater accountability in tech. Platforms often hide behind Section 230 protections to dodge responsibility, but if they step forward and say, 'We own the content or accounts,' then they lose the shield of neutrality and should face the consequences accordingly. It’s a slippery slope that X might regret going down if this theory gains traction in courtrooms.
Trump picks TV personality and former Senate candidate Mehmet Oz to run Medicare and Medicaid agency
Trump and his cronies want to privatize the world. That’s the end goal. Gut all government agencies and sell them off to Elon or some private equity firm. If you want to live in the future they’re building it’s gonna be pay to play. You want healthcare, pay for it. You want education, pay for it. You want oxygen, pay for it!
….and 76 million people voted for it. 76 million people have fucked over 260 million people all cause they drank the orange kool-aid.
Of course they are.

I’ve been a vinyl collector for years after inheriting my collection from my parents, finally got my hands on my first Zappa vinyl this past year, Apostrophe.
His music was difficult to get into when I was younger but as I got older I began kicking myself for taking so long to come around to it. Talk about “game changer” Zappa blew the doors off convention and his contributions to the world of music are beyond incredible!
