From Flock's nationwide surveillance to ICE tools, we are being watched. Is there anyway to go back now?
"Police love telling each other about the new capabilities and tools that they've acquired, so this tech can spread from city to city very quickly."
A 404 Media guide to surveillance in 2026:
I've seen a fun little hack that I've been meaning to try, where you set a fine mesh strainer over a pot of boiling water, pour the egg into the strainer and cover it with a lid. It ends up reeeeally darn close to a poached egg with a runny yolk. Nonstick spray also helps on the strainer apparently.
Nothing brings people together like a good apocalypse
Daaaaaaaamn. Lean and mean, looking good. 🤝
Shit. Mend well my dude.
My complaint with Harandar is that they use elven names for the world trees. My brain understands it's for player comprehension but it gets to me.
NEW: Last year, Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake. Sony didn't turn it down... but FromSoftware did.
Inside the tragic closure of Bluepoint, what they've been doing for the last five years, and why the studio was shut down: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

A screenshot of an email from Amazon detailing a change of terms for public wishlist, forcing users to allow third party seller products and thus exposing the wishlist owner's address in the purchase process. The change is in effect starting March 25.
⚠️ Heads up, ESPECIALLY to sex workers and activists:
Amazon is changing their public wishlist terms.
Your address will soon be visible to gift purchasers in certain circumstances.

The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”
Sony could've printed money with a Bloodborne remaster, and instead they burned it in a dumpster while flipping off the workers
"Sony decided to buy Bluepoint, a studio specialising in remakes, in 2021, after which they were promptly...set to work as a support studio on God of War Ragnarok, before then being assigned a live-service God of War game, before that project was cancelled in January 2025."
Wow, that's dumb 🤯

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"
This is when you go in and just give them 5 stars every time

I successfully yeeted my greatsword at an enemy in D&D tonight, summoned it back to my hand because I can, then ripped a fat 20 on the performance check to impress the crowd.
I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?
I think it's regional too. My dad was a newfie and used it a lot so i'm completely desensitized too it
Really enjoyed Wonder Man. It's a show about an actor who happens to have super powers, not a superhero who's an actor. It stayed consistent and nailed the ending in a way most MCU shows absolutely do not.
Instead of Half-Life 3 we're getting Reddit for chatbots
