Stop using generative AI for fun - it wastes water. When there's no more drinking water in 15 years, you will regret all the weird time you spent with your AI bot buddy and wish that instead you spent that time protesting late stage capitalism, because you will be very thirsty.

Again, Superman's an a immigrant refugee from an environmental catastrophe (that the planet's powers-that-be repeatedly ignored warnings about), who's an investigative reporter, and whose worst enemy in modern stories is a corrupt billionaire who was once president. How's Superman "not relevant?"

sudden hyperfixation:
superfest glas.
it's essentially normal glass,
just ~15x more durable.
the production process was discovered in the soviet union, supposedly because highly-ranked party members just Did Not Want to drink beer from paper cups at government functions.
unfortunately, capitalism happened when the wall came down,
and well,
when you sell something that doesn't need to be replaced, and your major customers stocked up before exports could be arranged, where's your income?

people: "hey we should make drinking glasses less likely to break and make sure everyone can get them if they want them"
other people: "hey that's a great idea, do it!" "I'll get as many as my family will ever need!" "I'll stock my bar with these and save so much on breakage loss!"
capitalists: "but when everyone has all the glasses they need how will you make money?"

Chess is a wallpaper from Windows 3 (1990). It depicts six chess pieces falling on a chess board. Its author is unknown. In Windows XP builds 2475 & 2486, the Chess user picture is replaced by this wallpaper, possibly caused by an error during the compilation of these builds. ♟️

Me, about one month ago: Oh, I bet I can use this Rust library to play back .xm "mod files" on my bootleg game boy!
Me, now: My desire to play a mod file on a game boy has inexorably lead to me filing an "internal compiler error" bug on the Rust project https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126527
