BREAKING - KISS cofounder Gene Simmons says it is time for celebrities like Ben Stiller and Mark Ruffalo to “shut the f*ck up.”
“People work hard for a living, and they don’t want to be lectured by people who live in mansions and drive Rolls-Royces. It’s time to shut up.”

The creator of the C++ programming language, Bjarne Stroustrup, says AI-generated code is not successful and calls the idea of using natural language as a programming language idiotic.
He says humans will still write code and use abstraction.
According to him, AI generates bloated code with more bugs and security holes, making it hard to validate.
He also says the senior developers needed to validate it are starting to retire because they don’t want to deal with validating something that changes every time you change your prompt.
He goes on to say that AI is not good at writing safety-critical or performance-critical code: “Now, let’s say that 70 or 80% of the world’s code doesn’t fit that pattern, but it’s that 10, 20% of the code that I’m interested in.”

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?
Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?
That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?
That men don’t belong in women’s sport?
That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?
That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?
That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?
That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?
That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?
That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?
That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?
That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?
That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?
That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?
Let me have your thoughts.

The Savior will be there as many times as necessary to provide help if we want to learn, change, overcome, cope, or succeed in whatever will bring true and everlasting happiness to our lives. 🙏

The gospel was never meant to shield us from life’s challenges and trials. Instead, it is the very path that deepens our faith and teaches us how to face them with strength and trust. 🙏

The cold, hard truth about the “record-setting” performance by Angel Reese (watch until the end).
- FG% barely higher than rebound total
- Went 4-14, Missed 10 shots in the paint
- 8 missed layups
- Blocked 5 times by Cameron Brink
- Threw elbows all game, no whistles
- Threw hissy fits all game — No tech
- Yelled at teammates
- Rebound total tainted: Many uncontested, off her own misses, she pushed off, when beat for rebounds she flopped and got a whistle
There’s never been a more insufferable and manufactured “Star” in the history of basketball.

It seems like folks may need a refresher on what the OSR is.
The OSR is a design and play approach rooted in early RPGs (especially pre-3e D&D) that prioritizes:
• Rulings over rules
• Player skill and ingenuity over character sheet abilities
• Real danger and meaningful failure
• Emergent play in a living, indifferent world
It’s not nostalgia for its own sake, and it’s not limited to medieval fantasy. The same principles work just as well in biopunk, modern horror, or anything else.
That’s the OSR.
So you can understand why advocates of the OSR are suspicious of Wizards/Hasbro. Why the current Dark Sun revival already looks sus.
It’s a combination of philosophy and experience. In some cases, very long experience.
Old School Rules. Old School Revival. Old School Renaissance. Three tenses. One movement.
