Challenge 1: Spear Mayhem

Defeat five mobs with a spear in Survival mode, Bedrock Edition.

Hold up, does this mean we can’t participate in the first challenge if we only have Java?

Agreed

Yeah this is the only part of the reaction that I’m not aligned with.

As you’ve mentioned the MP is elected as your representative, regardless of party, but a lot of people tend to vote with the understanding that their representative will tow the party line.

Where do you think the HSR station should go/will end up?

Oh great, and right before the Christmas break. I’m not gonna hear the end of this at the family get together 😫

On the list of phrases I didn’t expect to be possible in 2025: “Hey Meta, take a video of me about to commit war crimes.”

Or an American restaurant named Cracker Barrel?

So 6 days of 12-hour shifts? Sounds like a pretty novel way to tank your economy because no one’ll have the time to spend money or raise a family.

In the age of AI satire and comedy are dead.

I think it could be a Soylent Green misdirect, but only because I want to believe that Vince Gilligan is smarter than spelling out the twist this way. Until we find out more next week my guess is the bodies are being Aqua cremated. How the milk cartons are involved is anyone’s guess.

Necroprinting is the new Necromancer skill upgrade I’ve been waiting for.

I think I’m mixing the two because there are services that kind of turn Mastodon into an RSS reader.

That’s true that it is somewhat more robust than requiring a federated account, but I think that comes at the cost of discoverability which may or may not be something you might want to broadcast on a social network anyway 🤷‍♂️

So basically government fediverse instances.

It’s so clean I thought I was looking at a diecast Tachikoma at first!

Certified bullshit

I like how threads are organized and how there’s a profile preview, but the profile pages themselves could use some work. I could see myself switching back and forth between this and Ice Cubes.

I completely forgot about this app. Coulda been interesting to try it out during the recent World Series.

How’s everyone’s experience with the Sports app?

Most of the items in the Vatican collection were sent to Rome by Catholic missionaries for a 1925 exhibition in the Vatican gardens. The Vatican insists the items were “gifts” to Pope Pius XI, who wanted to celebrate the church’s global reach, its missionaries and the lives of the Indigenous peoples they evangelized.

But historians, Indigenous groups and experts have long questioned whether the items could really have been offered freely, given the power imbalances at play in Catholic missions at the time.

The rest of the article is an interesting read.

The iPad is a great ultra-light and portable device for drawing, document annotation, and reading/media consumption. Overall it excels at viewing tasks that require little-to-no text input.

I know that some people swear by yoga-style laptops, but I just see that as a novel liability by subjecting your device to extra external stresses. At the end of the day it’s just a tool, and if it doesn’t fit your workflow don’t use it.

It’s already hard enough to get people to donate even $20 towards fediverse projects like Lemmy or Mastodon.
