Such a perfect story, cheap to cover, great visuals, easy to understand, obvious incompetence and corruption, tough to turn into a culture war issue but I'm sure they'll keep tryingAs NPS drains the Reflecting Pool for repairs, thunderstorms and strong rains work to replenish the water.

This looks like an endorsement, but its not -- the wood of the Daily News should not be for sale! Our staff was mortified to wake up to a front page covered by a deceptive political ad for two days straight. Shame on Heath Freeman and Alden for selling our good name for a buck.

The paper has made no endorsement in this race -- in which polls close tomorrow. But this ad, paid for by an Anthropic-backed PAC, sure makes it look like we have a favorite.

This weekend DoorDash tweeted about the World Cup but repeatedly tagged T-Pain, as if they were mixing him up with NZ soccer player Tim Payne. T-Pain got in on it too, acting confused. Turns out it was all a "partnership." No ad disclosure on any of the posts. www.theverge.com/news/954145/...

(I read "White Moon Red Dragon" near the time it was released, loved it, and went backwards to read all the preceding books. The series is like a science fiction Game of Thrones, a sprawling epic with countless characters vying for power and dying along the way (in a future where China conquers the world), marred by grotesque sexual violence. The author has been rewriting the books for years (I think because he felt the original publishing schedule had been unfairly rushed), but the one reworked book I tried seemed to match my memories, and included the graphic sexual violence)This is heartbreaking. David Wingrove, the author of the Chung Kuo series (as well as Road to Moscow, and the Myst novels), has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. He had been undertaking a massive rewrite of the entire Chung Kuo series, but his wife confirms that's not going to be finished.

(Here's a negative review) (My Epic and GOG libraries are much better than my Steam library, not sure why I'd choose to wrestle with this instead of a gaming PC)I cannot stress enough that the Steam Machine is one of the most beautifully designed pieces of hardware I have ever held. It is SILENT. I had to put my ear to it to hear it. They basically made a giant blower sink with a custom shroud and custom fan. It is not a beast power wise, but I am in awe.

("Because it’s gelatinous, it can likely twist its respective halves in ways that might look similar to a human hanging its head, looking around, wiggling with excitement, and so forth") (I hated the way it moved in the demo)We wrangled some experts to explain what's going on in this absolutely incredible image of Jack Quaid mocapping for the new God of War: https://kotaku.com/jack-quaid-mocap-suit-god-of-war-laufey-2000707608

(Phrased a little confusingly--he plays for the Yankees now. Here's an article about his career nearly collapsing in college due to injuries, and mentioning the little league phenom stuff)As a 12-year-old in Encinitas Little League, Spencer Jones batted .937 with 20 home runs ⚾

Rumor was league officials might make him use a wood bat or put an L-screen in front of the pitcher whenever Spencer hit.
