Netflix planning more interactive stories ala ‘Bandersnatch’ for better or worse
Is Bandersnatch a movie? An interactive narrative? A video game? We can debate the ontology forever, but one thing is certain. Netflix is planning more content in its vein for the streaming service.
Netflix has joined the Motion Picture Association of America. Getting cliqued up, making moves!
I don’t know much about the MPAA. One hunch I have is that they’re a real political-ass lobbying group. The other is that they’re rather powerful. So, it makes sense that Netflix would want to get in on that action.
Netflix told its investors it loses more viewers to ‘Fortnite’ than HBO. Weird flex, but okay!
Netflix is more concerned about Fornite than it is HBO, folks. A bit of an odd idea at first. However, upon reflection it seems like a pretty intriguing commentary on how media and media competition has changed.
Facebook is developing a cryptocurrency because what could go wrong. They only fuck up everything
Facebook! You know, the monolith that we all simultaneously hate and prostrate ourselves before? The one that fucks up everything? Well, this gang of chucklefuck morons is developing a cryptocurrency.

Intel Processor design flaw will result in big system slowdowns
This is the kind of news that just tickles me. Not only is this a wonderful read, the topic is fascinating.

A local California burger chain is banking on its customers wanting fucking loyalty points more than they don’t want want their faces fucking scanned and logged in some database somewhere. I, the ever present cynic, am guessing they’re probably right. Who needs to fight against Dystopian futures when you can get free french fries or some shit. Who needs privacy when there are hamburgers at stake, bro!
Scientists detect hidden chamber in Great Pyramid of Giza. Like, please don’t piss off the Elder Ones
Scientists have detected a hidden chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Sounds pretty bad ass, but man I got reservations. You see, everything I’ve been taught in life informs me that this is where Elder Ones hang out. Their pad, where they relax in-between eating planets and inciting cosmic horror.
Walmart using shelf-scanning robots to audit its stores. This is how it fucking begins, dudes
This is how it fucking begins, man. First the robots are scanning shelfs, auditing them. Next thing you know they’re scanning us, auditing our worth. And oh, by the way, you’d probably notice our worth as a fact-denying, bloated, hateful corpulence isn’t that high right now. Their first strike fixing to be justified, the rate we’re going.
